Amazing experience! I came with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday, & everything was on point.The food was delicious - perfectly cooked tomahawk, rich mac & cheese, & amazing truffle fries. Portions were generous, drinks were great too - my amaretto sour was really well made.
Special shoutout to Xavier, who made our night. He explained the menu, gave great recommendations, & made sure we were well taken care of the entire time.
Highly recommend - great food, drinks, & outstanding service!
« Une expérience exceptionnelle du début à la fin ! L'ambiance, l'atmosphère & la musique étaient parfaites. Sans parler de la nourriture… tout simplement incroyable ! Chaque plat était délicieux. Le service a aussi été remarquable : ils ont pris le temps de nous expliquer chaque plat avec soin. C'est l'endroit parfait pour célébrer un anniversaire intime avec ses proches. Merci beaucoup à Xavier pour l'accueil exceptionnel. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant !
'One of the best steakhouses I've been to. The steak was well-flavoured & cooked perfectly. I usually order my steak well done, & many chefs end up making it too chewy or burnt, but that definitely wasn't the case here. You can tell the chef is a professional. The prices are on the expensive side, but the quality of the meal made it worth it. I really enjoyed my meal.
Meilleurs steaks que j'aie mangés! Service exceptionnel ! Isa & a Gabriel nous on donné un accueil incroyable! Je recommande sans réserve, un must à Montréal!
I wanted to love this place so much… the salmon tartare was a joke, nothing short of disgusting… Brussels sprouts were also really bad, nothing short flavor, no depth, no nothing… you can tell this place is trying. They try to take classics & reinvent them with bold ingredients & their own unique twist which I admire, but if the star ingredient is muffled by everything else, you're back at square one. I for myself will not be coming back for a while… until they make some changes. I hope this review is taken seriously & that they work on the basics of their menu because this place truly has the potential. Other than that, the staff was awesome for the most part, super friendly wait staff & great drinks.
J'ai été quelques fois à ce super resto!
La bouffe est délicieuse, le service & le staff sont merveilleux. Les drinks sont tellement bons. Les proprios sont géniaux! Je recommande!! Ça vaut le détour!

The food & service were incredible. The service was fast, efficient & friendly. We ordered the salmon tartare the chicken & the risotto. All 3 were better than I expected. Very flavourful & well cooked & prepped. Perfect for a date or casual dining. Very nice ambiance & not too noisy. Special shout out to Desmond for making the experience even more special. Would highly recommend.

I had such a great experience here! The oysters were absolutely delicious, & my favourite dish of the night was the tuna tartare so fresh & full of flavour. The drinks were perfectly made &
We also loved our server, Gabriel he was attentive, friendly. I would definitely come back again!
Des l'entrée j'ai adoré le faites que l'on prenne mon manteau à moi & à celle de ma blonde ensuite j'ai pu choisir la place qui nous convenait le mieux . On a pris le menu saint Valentin qui était très bien fait je n'ai rien à redire sur la qualité des repas mais par contre le service était je dirais merdique il ( le serveur) j'avais l'impression qu'il cherchait juste à gâcher notre soirée j'ai vraiment pas voulu m'énerver sur le coup pour pas gâcher la soirée des autres & bizarrement il traitait les autres tables de façon courtoise & polie j'ai pas envie d'en arriver à dire qu'il était raciste mais ça y paraissait . Ma blonde me demandait juste à ce que je me calme pour qu'on puisse passer une belle soirée parceque même au niveau de payer il vient déposer la facture & tarde à venir avec la machine il faille encore que je lui demande & m'explique de quoi il s'agit dans le menu c'est le premier à être essoufflé à ne pas vouloir m'expliquer pourtant j'avais juste deux questions
Je tenais vraiment à en parler l'ambiance l'atmosphère & les repas étaient au top c'est juste ce service qui m'a mis sans voix
