For the price, I definitely expected the food & drinks to be better. The atmosphere & service was probably what stood out the most to me.
The appetizers platters tasted ok at best. I expected more for the tasting platter but there really wasn't much for $24. The calamari was warm & didn't have too much seasoning to it ( I suppose it's because they were expecting the sauce to cover up for it?).
The cocktail I ordered tasted more like a fruity mocktail. The three Sake were definitely interesting. They all had their distinctive flavours & temperature which made the drinking experience more unique while eating.
The pokebowl was just very ordinary. The portion was decent but again nothing really stood out. The fish didn't taste all that fresh & again, It didn't have much flavour outside of the sauces.
The dessert was probably the best part of the meal. The key lime pie lime wasn't too sour & has a good hint of lime on each bite. The lava cake was chocolatey & smooth. I also ordered the black sesame icecream & thought it was pretty decent & had a good hint of sesame on each bite (considering how rare it is to actually find black sesame icecream in the first place).
One of the better highlights of Sesame was that they had really good service & the orders came in a timely manner.

Le service fut très long & pas nécessairement professionnel. Ce n'est pas à quoi je suis habituée quand je vais chez vous. Ce fut décevant car j'invitais une personne qui n'étais jamais venue auparavant.

Service impeccable de la part du barman William ! Il a vraiment contribué à rendre notre soirée exceptionnelle. Je recommande !

Je suis allée à ce restaurant un soir de semaine, avec l'une de mes amies. Trois minutes après être assise à notre table, la serveuse est tout de suite venu nous voir si nous voulions commander une boisson, cela était très rapide. Nous avons répondus que nous avons pas eu le temps de regarder le menu & les boissons. Elle est revenu dix minutes plus tard pour prendre notre commande. J'ai pris un breuvage à la vodka & au Clamato, c'était très bon. Pour l'entrée nous nous sommes partagées les dumpings & les crevettes tempura, c'était aussi très bon. Pour ce qui est du plat principal, j'ai pris le pad sec ew aux crevettes, ce n'était pas fameux. Le goût était fade. L'ambiance était correct, un peu bruyant. Les prix étaient raisonnables. La serveuse est venu nous voir seulement une fois dans la soirée, pour voir si tout allait bien. Personnellement, je ne trouve pas cela suffisant. Bref, j'ai bien aimé mon expérience, mais sans plus. Je ne recommande pas nécessairement ce restaurant, si ce serait que pour découvrir!

It was too noisy. People were talking loudly & all you could hear from the music was the base (boom, boom, boom). I suggest that when it is this full & noisy that you shut off the music so people don't have to talk loudly over the music.

Excellent tartare de saumon mais que dire des frites... les meilleures.
Genevieve
Bon rapport-qualité prix. La nourriture était savoureuse & le service attentionné!
Maryse
Le service était très bien, mais ma sauce aux arachides ( pour le sauté) goûtait le brulé. Je n'ai pas averti la serveuse, donc tant pis pour moi!

Je frequente Sesame depuis des années.
Je crois que vous vivez des defis au niveau du personnel suffisant dans la cuisine & je note aussi que le personnel de service est passablement renouvelé. Je vis un deuil au niveau de la serveuse Nina, qui etait avec vous depuis des annees & qui est retournee en Belgique.
Nous avons vecu une attente que je qualifierais de deraisonnable avant de manger.Heureusement,notre spectacle etait derriere nous & non,a venir...

Tout a été parfait & délicieux jusqu'à ce qu'on ait terminé de manger notre plat principal, nous n'avions plus de service & n'avons pas recu notre dessert, nous avons du quitter pour ne pas être en retard à notre spectacle & pourtant nous étions arrivés 2h30 plus tôt.

Fine food, great service & great music. The atmosphere is a bit too fancy for me personally.

The positives: The restaurant is beautifully designed & had a lively, buzzing atmosphere.
The negatives (& reasons I wouldn't return): Service was very slow. No one ever checked in to see if we were enjoying our drinks or food, & worst of all-the food arrived cold. Both appetizers & soups came out at the same time after a long wait, & neither was hot.
Even though I noted in my reservation (as prompted on the website) that we had a show afterward, the service remained incredibly slow. It took over 25 minutes to receive our drinks, & one of them was made incorrectly. Since no one came by to check on our table, my husband eventually had to walk to the bar himself to have it fixed-a big no-no in my book.
