Good food but cold, silent & frigid experience (yes, I have been at other similar places). The fish was WONDERFUL & spectacular! Smiling a bit helps (the chef did, others seem to be in a spy movie). I am a Michelin star resto seeking person, & we felt judged through the whole meal. This has never happen in other Michelin star places. Cocktails would help. I was also in Japan at Michelin star restos, & there were other items than fish (vegetables, etc) & rice. Value for money was sob-optimal. We did not find it pleasant to have people litteraly in our backs when we eat, ready to pounce at anything that happens, for example, to immediately wipe a drop of water on the counter. We are also in Montreal, & as a quadrilingual person, it would help if the chef presented the food in French & a person offered to translate in English, not the opposite. Please stop serving water & keep our glass 80% full. We did not need 3 bottles of San Pelegrino! Please ask before serving more. Many restaurants now serve local sparking water or sparkled tap water or the water of their choice (you may think you are too good for this, but other Michelin star places do, & have my admiration). I was happy about the experience, but would not recommend it & would not go back.

Everything was incredible! But… it felt like we got the same bite over & over with a different fish. Maybe our intuition was wrong but we were expecting more variety.

The service was impeccable. Attention to every details.
The food was exquisite for what it was.
The ambiance was perfect. With a room of 8-9 its very personal & quiet.

It is extremely expensive. In this case you pay mostly for the products used along with the expertise of the preparation. Could probably still be matched with more local products at a better price point.

All in all would recommend!

Easily one of the best dining experiences of my life. The front-of-house team & Chef Vincent were exceptional - warm, knowledgeable, & impeccable. The food was beyond outstanding, showcasing incredible technique, precision, & creativity.

That said, the experience left me with an interesting reflection. A restaurant of this caliber has the unique opportunity to tell the story of both its culinary heritage & the land where it exists. While the Japanese influence & traditions are beautifully executed, I couldn't help but wonder how this philosophy could further embrace Quebec's incredible seasonal products & local producers.

Seeing ingredients like zucchini sourced from Japan during peak Quebec zucchini season raises questions about the balance between gastronomic excellence & local sustainability. It would be fascinating to understand the overall environmental footprint of such a sourcing approach - where nearly every ingredient, from fish & rice to greens & fruits, travels thousands of miles to arrive fresh on the plate daily.

An unforgettable experience - but also a reminder that the future of fine dining may lie in the intersection of cultural tradition, culinary innovation, & a deeper connection to place.

If I could give this place a 10 star, I would.

The staff is incredibly kind & attentive. They took care of my husband (who has a disability) & ensured he was comfortable. They were very understanding & generous. Not to mention that the food was absolutely incredible.

We are very grateful for our experience here.

Overall overpriced. $1000+ for 2. The nigiri weren't creative & the first white fish dish was super overcooked. They focus on traditional ingredients, but there's a fine line between'traditional' & simply not creative. 3 stars because it was fresh. Wish there was wagyu or something'new'.

Superbe expérience tant sur le plan culinaire que sur le côté immersif. Nous avons été agréablement surpris. Le service était excellent. Le personnel est très courtois & sympathique! Le luxe sans pour autant être ostentatoire. Merci pour la magnifique soirée!
