I'll get to the food in a bit, but first I'd like to talk about the service.

I believe anyone can be a waiter. Anyone can bring the food to your table, fill your water, check in to make sure you're doing fine. These are the basics & any half-caring waiter could achieve. What is difficult is the charisma. Being able to make your guest laugh while also knowing when to give them space, to have such a knowledge of the menu to describe sauces as'to die for' & be correct.

Let me introduce you to Raph. A brilliant waiter whose humour & ability to read the mood elevated the meal to a place a chef cannot take it. These are skills that separate the regular chains to the restaurants that you reserve to celebrate. Raph, if you're reading this, thank you for the amazing service.

My partner & I celebrated our 3 year anniversary here! This is what we ordered

The VIP Platter for 2: incredible, if you're going with someone who doesn't mind sharing, this is perfect for you. The peanut butter jam was my highlight

The 12oz Filet Mignon: Our waiter suggested the'Dion' sauce. Amazing, no notes, cooked perfectly, absolutely get the Dion sauce & garden salad.

The Creation Sushi plate: another banger, each bite unique & REAL GINGER!! Which is always a nice touch.

My partner got a Dirty Martini & I a simple gin & tonic, both delicious.

To end our meal, we each had an espresso, a perfect way to end a lovely experience.

Including Tax & Tip, our total was around 250$ (worth it)

Some smaller notes. It really irks me when you ask for a takeout box & the service will make you pack your own, Vargas avoided this which my partner & I really appreciated.

All in All, a wonderful experience. Will for sure be returning for other big celebrations.

Creative dishes… but as creative stuff usually goes, the client/consummer might not get it, or not all of it. The sushis were great overall, the tuna tartare was too sweet for my palate & the VIP appetizer was interesting.

The food here is just ok I feel but Ive always been very satisfied with the service & even though the food is just ok i must say i keep going back for the sushi pizza which actually looks nothing like a pizza 😂 it looks like a butterfly on some days & tear drops on another day. I do recommend trying it though it is sooooo tasty.

One of the best Sushi places I've been to. Sushi is both creative, high quality, & not too expensive

Bone-in Rib eye & Rip cap steaks were amazing. Sides were equally great. Sushi was fresh too. Staff was amazing & very attentive. Great vibe with chill & upscal decor. Would definitely come here again. They were also able to accommodate our well behaved toddler!

The food was exceptional. The Salmon Wellington & Sushi (specifically the Omakase) are for sure recommended. The fries are out of this world. The servers are super friendly & caring about the service. This is definitely the place to try high quality food in Montreal.

Excellente soirée avec un personnel très gentil & professionnel (malgré un long moment d'attente à notre arrivée). Superbe ambiance des Fêtes, les sushis étaient WOW ! Mais la morue beaucoup trop cuite. Autrement, nous recommandons, c'était vraiment super.

the entire place stinks of meat! no smiles to be found on any worker's face & the energy of the servers/hostess was just off... the sushi however was DELIGHTFUL! the fish was fresh & the portions were satisfying.
