The atmosphere is electric, with the perfect blend of chic décor, great music, & that unique Old Port vibe that makes every night feel special. The food & drinks were on point - flavorful, creative, & clearly made with care.

A special shout-out to Genieve, the supervisor, who took the experience to another level. Her professionalism, warm personality, & attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcome. She checked in on us multiple times, made thoughtful recommendations, & ensured everything was perfect from start to finish. It's rare to see that level of service, & she delivered it with ease & a great attitude.

The vibes, the cocktails, the food… but most importantly the service!!!
Gen is the BEST! She helped us with everything from start to finish, the service was friendly, attentive & welcoming. I can safely say she made us the best margaritas in Montreal.
Santos is a coup de coeur, the dancing after was the best! Big thanks for the great night!!!

Nous avons eu le plaisir d'être servis par Gen, dont les recommandations ont été parfaites du début à la fin.
Chaque plat était un véritable délice : le ceviche de crevettes, frais & raffiné ; le tuna tartare en tacos, plein de saveurs ; la lobster pasta & sans oublier le picanha steak & sa sauce exceptionnelle.
Les crevettes croustillantes & le guacamole complétaient parfaitement ce repas mémorable.
Un grand merci à la magnifique Gen, dont l'attention & les conseils ont sublimé notre expérience.
