Table 51

My husband & I have been very regular diners at Table 51 since it opened. Over the years, we have brought many friends to dine with us. It is always excellent-the food, the drinks, the staff & their service, & Jimmy the owner who oversees everything. I decided to post today because I realized last night how incredibly good it is. I had never had a steak at Table 51. The steak was one of the best that I have ever had anywhere, ever. So are the litchi martinis. What is so important is that the noise level has been brought down which I really appreciate. See you again soon. Pearl

The food was amazing & our server was very friendly & attentive. We came here because of the reviews & it did not disappoint. The ambience was great, very spacious & a good selection of food/drinks. Would 100% recommend & next time we are back in Montreal, we plan to be back.

I had a really enjoyable experience at Table 51 overall. The ambiance, vibe, & atmosphere were absolutely amazing - the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable & relaxed in.

The waitress & staff were fantastic & made us feel genuinely welcomed & right at home from the moment we arrived. & the sangria… wow. Honestly, the sangria was amazing times a million - easily one of the highlights of the night.

The food itself wasn't the greatest compared to how strong the rest of the experience was, but the atmosphere, drinks, & service more than made up for it. Overall, still a really great spot to spend an evening in Montréal.

Love this place ! Drinks are original, Food is delicious: the burger, the oysters, the tartare beef & salmon, the fries, the chips. For dessert the key lime pie is delicious. It can get loud & busy so I prefer to go on a week night.

Nice variety of choices, food & drinks were delicious. It was busy but not overly loud. The service was fantastic, coming to the table in a timely manner, getting feedback, knowing the menu, filling water, very impressive.

First time at Table 51 & I'd did not disappoint! All 5 of us lived our food, & drinks (wine & mocktails). Best guacamole I've ever had. Polished, friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

Table 51 has a great atmosphere, lively music, with very nice ambiance. The service is fantastic & staff are very helpful. Unfortunately i can't say the same about the food.

For appetizers, We ordered the lobster tacos, the popcorn shrimp & a ceasar salad. Absolutely nothing spectacular about it. The lobster tacos were very meagre with lobsters, i barely noticed any meat in there & barely any flavor.

It was crunchy in texture so there was some sort of chips or dried tortilla inside the soft but that's about it.

The popcorn shrimp was just a bowl of small dried up fried shrimps with a typical sweet dipping sauce. Again nothing special.

The ceasar salad was drenched in dressing that tasted bottled or packaged.

The kicker was the main dish I ordered: The special was cacio e Pepe pasta with pieces of sirloin… what i received was an extremely overcooked & tough piece of meat as a steak rested on top of a spaghetti like pasta drenched in a cream sauce that was supposed to be cacio e Pepe, but had more of a jarred Alfredo feel & taste to it. For some reason my pasta had a ton of parley in it… which I did not understand.

I was having a hard time slicing into the meat, so waiter saw my struggles & sent the manager my way, who offered to replace the dish.

The new meal that came had sliced sirloin steak, but it was blue this time, nearly raw, large chunks of it that were sliced with the grain as opposed to against it & it made it impossible to chew these raw pieces of meat, that had no flavour, no seasoning as it was was apparent that it was rushed out to me for second time.

The pasta had even more parsley in it, on the raw side, making it inedible, so I pushed the plate to the side & did not have it.

Another manager noticed & came to ask me about my meal, so I appreciated the attention & the care, & didn't really want to send another meal back but she saw the state of my plate & was kind enough to remove it from the bill & was very empathetic.

We enjoyed our evening regardless as the music & ambiance was nice but I left feeling nauseous from the bad food.

In short, if your in the mood for light appetizers & drinks & nice ambiance, Table 51 should be able to deliver on that, But if you want good food, i wouldn't go there for that reason alone.

Kudos to the management & service team as they were excellent & very attentive.

Would have given a 5 star rating but gave a 3 star for service because the service was overkill. In this I mean service was too fast. We did not have time to breathe between drinks, appetizers & meal & we were asked 3 times within 5 minutes if we wanted dessert? We were out for a pleasant relaxing evening with my husband but felt very rushed. The restaurant was busy but there were no line ups for people awaiting tables & there were several seats available if needed - so what was the rush all about.
My husband ordered the veggie burger (nothing great) which only came with fries - at $ 23
I had the signature braised beef but did not enjoy the wine sauce which had an overpowering wine taste at $ 44
Overall found the burger expensive for what you get
Restaurant is clean & nice decor.
