Thank you all for making our first anniversary one to remember.
I wanted to try this place for a very long time since it always shows up on my IG news feed. The cocktails were good. The entres were good 2. La pieuvre était bonne. However, it all fell down, when me & my brother-in-law ordered the tomahack, lobster & shrimps for 2. Weirdly for a steakhouse, everything that came from the sea was good but the tomahack was a hell of dissapointment!!. We asked for medium well, it was cooked blue. We had to ask to grill it again because it was way too bloody. Then after the first bites, we were double dissapointed. The meat had NO FLAVORS WHATSOEVER. It's like they took the meat from the animal & just put in the grill with no salt, no pepper, no seasonings..It was NOT TENDER...🤨😒 bruuhh My expectations were too high I guess...Nonetheless, our servers were very nice & even gave my sister a slice of cake for her bday...
Unfortunately, I live far from d-town, so this visit will probably be my last.

We had the pleasure of dining at Sel & Noir, & it was nothing short of incredible! We ordered the Chef's Plate, a delightful surf-&-turf creation featuring perfectly cooked steak, succulent lobster, & tiger shrimps. The plate was accompanied by loaded baked potatoe, & crispy Parmesan fries-all bursting with flavor & cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef & the team!!
The Carpacio was another highlight-fresh, exquise, & dressed to perfection. As for the cocktails, they were absolutely delicious & expertly crafted, adding the perfect touch to our meal. Compliments to the bartenders!
One of the best meal experiences I have ever had! Jasmine was the best with the attentiveness & made the whole evening exceptional! The burrata was delicious...must order like many of the reviews suggest. I shared the surf & turf for 3 people & everything was perfectly cooked & seasoned to perfection! Tender lobster tail, steak cooked to the right temperature & the carrots were yummy! I will we back...one of my top 3 dining experiences for sure!
Love this place! If you're looking for a steakhouse with more of an intimate ambiance, this is the place. Been a few times & every time has been perfect. Even held an event with nearly 20 guests & all of us were shocked how on point the service & food was for such a large group. Our steaks were fantastic. Highly also recommended the burrata & lobster risotto. The owners are also so accommodating. Highly recommend.

Had a great experience at this chic & intimate steak house. The owner & the staff were incredibly friendly & the service was on point all night. The burrata was just so fresh, & the octopus cooked to perfection with a delicious nduja sauce that gave it an extra spice. The Ribeye was very tender & had a nice crisp on the outer. The lobster & shrimp risotto was creamy & delicious, with a generous portion of seafood on top. A simple yet classic side was the Mac & cheese but probably one of the best I've had. Can't wait to go back to this gem in Montreal. Perfect for date nights or even a group! Would definitely recommend.
The service was a little slow, but we had a great time & had drinks while we waited. The spicy margarita was a mouth full of flavor, highly recommend. Also this was probably the best lobster we've ever had, & the waygu strip was phenomenal.
Food was very good, however we think the service was lacking. It took about 30min to get a margarita, while the restaurant was not busy at all. The lobster risotto & burger were both tasty, however the fries were cold. Overall the restaurant was good but I don't think it's worth a 4.9 stars.

Found this place on instagram, took my girlfriend on a date here the other week & absolutely loved it. We tried the steak with the mashed potatoes (amazing!) & the lobster (usually not a big fan, but this place may have won me over). Overall, food was delicious & worth the wait. The vibe was intimate & would highly recommend for a date night out!! Great new place.
Amazing steak house with ambience that's second to none! The restaurant is absolutely stunning & the service is amazing. Food was fantastic & very well priced considering it's in the heart of downtown! The steak was cooked to perfection & the crème brûle for dessert was to die for. If you want to impress your date this is the place to go! 💯 Desmond was a fantastic host & I highly recommend you ask him about the Secret menu! (If you like lobster rolls) Definitely going to be one of my Go to spots when I'm in the Sherbrooke/crescent area!
