Great music, great atmosphere, great staff! The only downside was some of the audience weren't there for the music & talked too loudly.

Super endroit chaleureux pour passer une soirée relaxante en écoutant des musiciens talentueux. Leurs repas sont délicieux & frais! Le service est agréable & vite. Les tables sont plutôt proches les unes des autres, mais c'est pas un dérangeant. Je recommande à tout le monde, c'est ma sortie préférée à faire!

Great food & service. The vibe & the music were awesome.
One comment is that the singer was too loud at times shouting . I think in an intimate venue with a low ceiling it would have been a bit more pleasant on the ears if his mic was turned down a bit.
Overall a great evening.

Everything was perfect; the service, the ambiance, the food/drinks .... & the music form that Trio (Alex, Rémi-Jean & Aaron) was amazing.
We will come back for sure !!!

The service & staff were amazing, & the music was great. They even brought in a JUNO Award-winning artist-it was fantastic. We rang in the New Year with a package that included a charcuterie board, dinner, dessert, & a champagne toast at midnight. Such an amazing way to welcome the New Year.

It was a great evening: My first real intro to Jazz. Dai Vinci's Code (Cuban band) was phenomenal. My only issue was the back table where we were sitting as it was very uncomfortable to sit sideways on a banquette to watch the show behind us. They did warn us on the reservation. The little TV monitors helped a bit to see the entire band as it was difficult to see from our angle. But overall a great evening. Make sure you reserve as it books quickly. The 615pm show is both dinner & show (each charged separately) & music starts at 7 (to 830) while the 9pm show is only the band (if I understood the website correctly).

While the music was good, the service was a display of unequalled incompetence & quite frankly a sheer disaster. The seating provided no leg room beneath the table, but plenty of opportunity to be constantly shoved by the flux of passage. The amateur with a mustache in particular was so delicate that he spilled water on me & knocked me on the back of my head with a set of plates. The food arrived cold & was as bland & as tasteless as the grit from the back of a dirty fryer. Not a single apology or gesture to compensate for the complete lack of professionalism made this an experience I wouldn't recommend.

Always a great time at upstairs, amazing atmosphere & staff is super kind. The music is the best you'll get in the city, one of the best spots in all of Montreal.

Always a treat, music was AMAZING, food is good, service is friendly. Don't get there as often as I would like but whenever I go, UPSTAIRS always delivers a perfect night out.
