Steak here is exceptional.
Ordered a rib eye steak with a side of their grilled brussel sprouts, & it was amazing!!
The service is great! We went a Friday night & we didn't wait too long for our main dish.
Hope they would improve their terrace tables & chairs, I find their chairs not comfortable to sit on. I personally find their prices & menu doesn't go well with the atmosphere of the restaurant.
The menu is fancy, although the taste is exceptional, I just wish the overall vibe could be less boring.
If you decide to go with the set three course lunch/dinner meal, don't.
You're better off going somewhere else because they give you the cheap stuff (skinny tough steak, unless you order a $60 one off the menu then you'll get a good one). & their servers are very disorganized & half seem lost half the time. If you provide a service & product it should be good quality & consistent all around for everyone. That's what gives you a good reputation.
Below is my full experience.
Overall just a disappointing experience. Went in for a three course meal (lunch deal) with my family & things started off great. Service was excellent, place was nice & it wasn't busy at all(almost empty the entire time btw).
Then things took a turn. I ordered a steak & I asked multiple servers multiple times for another plate yet, it took me like 15 min to get another one (I just wanted to share my food with my little baby sis). Also they took my steak away from me after I buttered it up & said'sorry wrong plate' wtf?!? I was starving man & it looked so good. The replaced steak they gave me was the skinniest thing ever. Like they injected it with ozempic! So like I'm not trying to starve myself, I'm trying to EAT.
After that weird bit, my family & I waited & waited for our last course, Dessert!! Yet we didn't get service until 20-30 min after they took away our plates??!?? Not trying to be sitting in a restaurant for the whole day.
When they offered us dessert it was Baileys & my father said'we don't drink' (also there's little kids here ..why is that the dessert??). The server said'ok lemme see what I can do…ok so how about coffee?'
Lord.
None of us drink coffee also like a majority of us were kids. You're telling me your restaurant doesn't even have fruit to offer for dessert the most they can do is a drink that costs $3….right, right. That's just bizarre & cheap 🤷?♀?.
So, we never got our last course. Just straight up had 2/3 courses & the restaurant was satisfied to give their customers that.
But the cherry on top would have to be when our server told my dad that he should've left him a tip when he paid the bill. HA HAAAAA Anddd my dad said'why? We didn't get all of our food & service was mediocre, so why should I tip??' & the server said because it's the right thing to do & his manager backed him up. The nerve man, the nerve.
Also they don't care about feedback or criticism (things that are harmless & help make you better) as seen by their replies to ONLY 5/5 reviews. How sad.
Had a reservation, didnt get seated for over 15 minutes after we decided to walk right up to the staff. The servers ignored us, didnt bring water. Were to busy talking badly about customers they had during the shift to even bring us a bill. I ordered lobster & didnt even get anything to open it with till my partner was finished his entire steak.
Had a steak dinner with my father & brother. We were well taken care of by our waiter Andy (of course everyone played their part) . He served us with a high quality standard.
The atmosphere was really chill the drinks were great (we had pina coladas & mojitos). The chill jazz music made the atmosphere mellow. We had an amazing experience. Will definately revisit. I highly recommend coming here for a nice dinner &(or) drinks.
We ordered fixed three course meal.
My child's plate was taken away from her as she was about to bite into her food. Server grabbed the plate & said'wrong plate'. All the steaks were tough. We didn't complain. When it came to the desserts (which we waited around 20mins for the server to come around after finishing our meals) we were offered coffee or baileys. We don't drink, & we don't drink coffee. Server said there was nothing else they could provide us. I left no tip because of this. Waiter confronted me about this in front of of my family. I told him we ordered three courses & only received two. He (then after backed up by his manager?) then went on to tell me it was my fault for not inquiring what the desserts were. Not arrogant at all, real classy joint 👍🏼
Don't recommend
I went to the Terrasse 419 with a group & we ordered tartare as an entree, & then the Surf & Turf that came with a huge Tomahawk steak that was smoked & carved up with great panache by our waiter, Idriss, who also flambeed the varied surf platter. Wonderful to watch & the meat was perfect! Everything was delicious. We had to make room for the desserts even if we were full & I'm glad we did. Yum! Especially the lemon pie! Great Old Montreal experience. Highly recommended!
The meal was delicious! We had the tartares for entrée & the steak/lobster as a main course & everything was perfectly cooked & flavourful!
Thanks to Idriss & Amine for a lovely service
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Le 419! The service was excellent: our water glasses were always replenished, the cocktails were tasty & original. The steak was melt-in-your-mouth & the seafood was delicious. Our waiter, Idriss, put on a wonderful show flambéing the dishes & smoking the others! Wow! Highly recommend! Would definitely return!
We recently visited Terrasse Le 419 - Vieux Port & had an overall decent experience. The location is great, with a nice view & a relaxed atmosphere that works well for a casual outing.
We ordered a Shiraz & a Cabernet Sauvignon, both of which were enjoyable & paired nicely with the food. I also had the NY Steak. The portion was good & the flavour was solid, though not particularly standout.
Service was average - nothing negative, but nothing exceptional either. Staff were polite, but the pacing & attentiveness could have been a bit sharper.
Overall, Terrasse Le 419 offers a pleasant setting & a decent meal, especially if you're in the Vieux?Port area & want a simple, relaxed dining experience.
