Food & service was good, really enjoyed it however my only comment is that you should let the customers know at the time of the reservation if they will be seated on the terrace. The terrace although nice it lacks ambience, doesn't compare to the inside.
Atmosphere was lovely. Music was way too loud.
Seating is very comfortable & the place is very clean.
Service is nice & Rachelle the manager is one of the best restaurant managers I have had the pleasure to experience. She is exceptionally professional & superbly customer centric.
Food. The appetizers were excellent from the awesome olives to the hot pita wedges.
The French fries are said to be home made. I do not believe this to be true as they did not have the texture or finish of a freshly crust home fried potato. They were dry & tasteless. I had to send back. At $11 way over priced.
The hounds lamb was not worth the price nor tasty. The humous was good, but the lamb had lots of fat, very greasy, chewy like bubble gum, & overall we left most of it over as it was not pleasant to eat.
The chicken kebab was dry & over cooked & lacked seasoning. The roasted patsies were excellent. The sauce was great but surprised it was made of mayonnaise.
Not a place I would return to. Much better elsewhere.
YUMMY!! Nous étions trois & avons partagé 4 assiettes pour le déjeuner ! OMG! DELICIOUS! La crêpe aux pistaches est INCROYABLE! le gravlax de saumon aussi !!! Le resto est super mignon, bien situé & le service était impeccable, je ne me rappelle pas de son nom mais le gars au bar était super gentil !!! Merci ! J'y retourne c'est sûre!
We had a delicious dinner on the covered patio last Saturday & Alexis provided excellent service throughout the meal. Loved all our dishes - the flavours were wonderful. Favourites were the brussel sprouts, heirloom Beets on a bed of labneh, & artichokes!
Overall had an amazing experience, im visiting from Toronto to see a couple of buddies & this was one of the locations they've made me visit in my time here & let me tell you it was fantastic. I had chicken n waffles great experience great waiter, & great food yummers!!! 😝👅il definitely be coming back here if I ever make my way back to Montreal. Highly recommend this location to any other tourist in the area
our group of four was seated fast on a saturday night with no reso, amazing food, great tunes & wonderful attentive service from Anna. love this spot. the toum is next level.
Belles assiettes mais beaucoup de mouches sur la terrasse...Les mouches sont arrivés en équipe ...sur mon plat ...(j'ai pu manger que la moitié)
Un cheveux est arriver avec l'assiette de mon ami....mais sinon niveau goût c'était bien...
The atmosphere, the food, the service; all were amazing! Ana left us with such a memorable night of fun & great service, especially that we were celebrating a special occasion.
I love that pomegranate was incorporated in many dishes which is often forgotten in Lebanese cuisine here. The halloumi & dates, kibbeh naye, lamb kebab are a must to try! Can't miss on the refreshing fattoush as well.
I'm excited to return to try their brunch & others dishes as well.
Shay is always great food, & great service, but my last experience at shay Shawn was our waiter & he effortlessly went above & beyond to make our brunch the best it could possibly be.
