Je suis allée manger au resto de mon ami & je suis tellement fière 🥹❤? Tout était vraiment parfait, le menu était excellent, les plats étaient délicieux & le steak… juste wow 🤤🥩 Ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y aller!
WoW! The steaks were cooked to perfection; the Tomahawk was so worth it! The service was great. Spent the night celebrating a birthday! We felt recognized & in great hands. Already planning a future celebration here. Oh & the truffle fries yummyyyy
'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!

Service exécrable, lent & peu convivial
L'entièreté de l'équipe était au bar & «chillais » pendant que le serveur & la cuisine avaient clairement besoin d'aide malgré le petit nombre de table.
Pour un beau total d'une heure 20 minutes d'attente pour la nourriture, un poulet qualité st-hubert & un steak sans goût, JE NE RECOMMANDE PAS!
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.
Really cozy ambiance, great food. Had an amazing espresso martini, & don't even get me started about the steak. Amazing quality & delicious. Highly recommend coming
Nous avons découvert ce resto pour la 1ere fois & avons eu une super belle soirée. La nourriture était excellente, le steak parfaitement apprêté & les fruits de mer aussi. Le service attentionné.
Merci 🙏🏻
Food: we ordered the Filet Mignon & Pan Roasted King Salmon. The Filet Mignon had no flavor, was brutally charred & not cooked properly. The Pan Roasted King Salmon had a strange texture & a bright orange sauce that didn't compliment the dish very well. For my drink, I ordered a Tanqueray & tonic; it was watered down & had barely any substance to it. The side of fries were decent.
Service: we had a female waitress who wasn't very attentive nor friendly. I noticed that she was very attentive & outgoing to the three other parties in the establishment, except for us; we were virtually ignored. We had to ask for water, straws, a steak knife; probably because we were tourists - so that tells you what you need to know.
Atmosphere: was very nice, I did like the interior, but the vibe of the waitstaff was… not good. The restaurant was empty & the waitstaff were just chillin around the bar, giving strange looks. The gentleman who greeted us & took our coats upon entering was very nice & welcoming, but it was unpleasant & downhill from that point forward.
My friend & I stumbled upon this place & ended up being blown away by our experience. The food was absolutely amazing & the staff really made our experience so special. Everyone we met was lovely & we felt so taken care of all night! We'll definitely be back for that steak & the cheesecake, I'd recommend it to anyone.
Appetizers were good. Ordered a NY strip & was just ok. Asked for medium but it was undercooked cooked & almost rare. Also wasn't the greatest cut of meat. I also found that it was a little expensive for what we ate. Wouldn't come back here if I'm craving a steak.
