The food looked great but fell short on taste, with flavors that were too sweet & didn't match the high cost (very very pricey). Presentation seemed to take priority over flavor. Service was slow & inconsistent; while the waitress was helpful, she also seemed impatient at times. The dining area was very noisy, with echoes making conversation difficult. Staff didn't appear particularly enthusiastic, which impacted the overall vibe. I wouldn't return.View more

Nice place, nice vibes.
Food was okay - nothing out of this world.
Service was nice, but felt transactional.View more

The food is excellent ==> Kiss for the Chef!
The service was good ==> Great service, with a pinch of'argh! another boomer couple! why am I wasting my life here!'.
Overall vibe ==> 'Cheesy-boomer-mid-90's-decor-impression-of-high-end-USA-male-tourist-customers'
The restaurant is situated at the complete west end of Old-Montreal touristy sector & located on the ground floor of what seem to be an office building (i.e: the restaurant restrooms are located past the main'mid-90's pinky-beige-stone-washed' entrance hall of the said office building).
The decor (of the restaurant + main building hall for restrooms) is somewhat dated to the mid-90's'trying-for-high-end-customers' restaurant (i.e.: somewhat'boomer-cheesy' in my opinion). I don't think that's what the restaurant is going for ultimately; the staff is young & dressed'chilled'. As said before, the service was good.
Unfortunately, the menu & the decor is giving -'I'm a 55ish+ male tourist from the United-State-of-America travelling outside my country for the 1st time & wanting to impress my date / cheat-mate with an IMPRESSION of an'elegant-diner-hotel-favor' combo; I am scared of food experiences & therefore I want a menu that I can relate too'- vibe. (ie: burger / pork-ribs / steak / pasta...)
I was a bit disappointed myself on the menu choices, since I wanted the'palourdes' as shown on the web-menu; that choice was not available at the restaurant on Sunday...I should have called - that's my bad.
For context, I did reserve my table for 5:30PM on a Sunday since my guest & I were expected somewhere else at 19:00...
However, that doesn't change my opinion on the overall'vibe' of the restaurant.
I recommend for the food...the rest of what you are going for is up to you!!!View more

The female hostess was very accomplished & super nice. The male host with the patchy moustache & greasy hair was terrible & his energy was awful, ruined the experience completely from just one interaction. The steak is good, the burger is dry & uninspired, you'd get a better one next door at five guys. I wouldn't go there for a celebration. Overall okay definitely not a must try if you like American style bistros with a fancy twist id just go to Deville, better food, service & vibes. Overall 3.5 stars.View more

We had high expectations for Romies considering how much we love its team's other restaurant, Arthurs, but unfortunately they were not met on this evening.
On the positive side, the food was phenomenal (especially the burger, pasta, & blackout cake), & they have cultivated a really cool vibe through the design, open kitchen, bar, etc.
That said, what really let us down was the service. From the hop, our server was rude, dismissive, & barely checked in. Then, he brought the wrong bottle of wine to our table, which we politely corrected, & then he proceeded to place that $100 bottle on my friend's bill (perhaps hoping she would not notice?). Also, we were there for my birthday & to kick off the night's celebrations (which was noted on the reservation), & there was absolutely no acknowledgement - not even placing a candle in the slice of cake I ordered. Don't get me wrong, we were not expecting to be catered to by any means, but being a bit more welcoming overall would have gone a long way.View more

Went with a group of 10+ so had a set menu for the night but they were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions we had & made replacements that worked for our group! The food was incredible, one of the best burgers I've ever had! Very good vibes & the staff were super friendly! Definitely recommend!!View more

This Italian restaurant is one of the best in Montreal. They food is delicious, I loved the foccacia, it's freshly baked as is everything else on the menu. The menu changes every season from what I understood as they are trying to incorporate seasonal dishes, which is a great concept. You'll be impressed by the service as they pay attention to detail & make sure you're having a great experience. Very cozy vibes!!View more

I truly have only good things to say about this establishment. The service has been perfect each time & I've been on 4 occasions - Kelsey specifically is an amazing waitress. The food is exceptional, filet mignon was insanely good, the tartares delish & the cocktails are great!! Good vibes each time.View more

5 star all around. The vibe was immaculate, the food was fantastic & the service was attentive & personal. Been looking for a restaurant like this in Montreal & it definitely exceeded my expectations. The pasta alla zazzona & citrus fish starter were my favourite! The bartenders were knowledgeable & so fun to watch & cocktails were probably some of the best we've experienced ever (& we've travelled all over the world)👌 Do not skip on this restaurant!!!View more

Another restaurant running just on vibes & no substance to have you going back. It wasn't a good experience for us. Waited half an hour to be seated in our booked seats & another 45m to get mediocre food with premium pricing. The cherry on top was a rude waiter with an attitude asking us weren't you supposed to leave already? - while we were eating & despite us having to wait for their delays in every item ordered, including the table itself. We had high hopes for this place but unfortunately left with a bitter taste.View more

Wanted to try out this place as the patio looked amazing & they had many drink & food options. Unfortunately the day I went it was raining so our group got seated inside on separate tables as we were 9 people. We started off with drinks & cocktails which my coworkers seem to enjoy. We shared the focaccia, crudo, beef tartare & Spanish omelette as appetizers. My favourite was the crudo as it was so fresh, balanced & had a nice acidity from the citrus. The potato salad in the beef tartare threw us off a little as I wish there was more of a crunch element but it was still tasty. The Spanish omelette was also very good! The pickled veggies paired with it made it balanced. As for the mains, we ordered the charcoal grilled fish, the ribs & the pasta. The fish was by far our favourite! It was perfectly cooked & the grill taste was fantastic. Paired with deep fried eggplant medallions & peas. Yummy! The ribs were a bit dry & not fall off the bone so I would not recommend that. The pasta was ok but nothing special. For the desserts we ordered the choclate cake & Sunday. Both fantastic! The flaky sea salt on the cake was a nice addition! Service was also very good & the vibes were nice. Would come back again for the grilled fish & the crudo. However, for the price, it was a bit expensive so would only come on a special occasion.View more

Just Yum, in all senses. Food was amazing, perfect medium rare filet mignon, tomato salad of the day was everything I didn't know I wanted, pasta to die for. Chocolate cake 11/10. Terrace had a great vibe, a Montreal gem. A little disappointed they ran out of pie, but all the more reason so go back. I didn't catch our waitress' name but she was amazing. Super cool spot, great deco, great vibes. Don't skip itView more
