Can't believe I had never been before... my husband brought me here for Valentine's Day... & what a great meal it was! We ordered: shrimp tempura, beef satay, cap steak, roast beef, grilled mushrooms, fries, & baked potato. My water glass was never empty, the service was excellent overall. While I didn't like the peanut sauce with the satay, the meat was super tender & flavourful on its own, & we were happy the sauce was on the side. The mushrooms were insanely delicious as was my cap steak, the roast beef was good, just nowhere near as good as my steak... looking forward to our next visit!
The steak was amazing. Rib eye fry aged 28 days to perfection. The sushi on the other hand was lacking, & probably not even on par with your typical all you can eat joint. The service was great, but it seemed like a restaurant made more for business meetings than to celebrate special occasions. Overall, if you are looking for great cocktails & steaks, would recommend.
I ordered a steak & Monte Carlo potatoes for lunch & the steak tasted as if it was cooked & reheated for way too long. Medium cooked steak should never taste dry, terribly cooked. The best thing was the gravy, it tasted homemade & was the highlight of what I ate. I would try something different next time, maybe an off day for the chef when we went, but my expectations won't be very high.
We were celebrating our anniversary & made reservations to eat here. Some of the low ratings concerned me however I don't see the merit in them? The food was fantastic! I ordered the Ribeye & my wife ordered the kamikaze. Also got a side of mushrooms & mashed potatoes. Everything was perfect, steak was cooked to perfection & the sushi was very high quality. Service was not slow at all (& the place was packed when we went). Not sure of the negative reviews but I had a great experience. Will return when we visit Montreal again!
Had a wonderful dinner with 10 friends - Berta was our service & took amazing care of us. Great advice on what to order.
Shared Tender Kamikaze & additional order of sushi tempura just perfect amount for me.
Portions are large. Steak was tender. Sushi was good.
Friend had French onion soup.
Next time hope to try desserts!
It is situated in the heart of Montreal's downtown area, making it convenient for both locals & tourists.
It is primarily known for its high-quality steaks, but due to dietary restrictions & considering its an official dinner, I preferred Chilean Sea Bass which was OK-ish. Their Ceasar Salad was excellent & fresh.
The restaurant is known for its elegant & stylish ambiance. It features modern décor, ambient lighting, & a chic atmosphere, making it suitable for business meetings.
Their service was how ever very slow which they need to improve.
What do you get when an upscale, oldschool steakhouse specializing in surf 'n' turf tries to cater to an increasingly diverse, health-conscious clientele?
A group menu of gravy-drenched meat & unoriginal sushi, with sides of iceberg salad, bland vegetables, tastes-likes-it's-from-a-can tomato soup & plain mashed potatoes, garnished with an oh-so-elevated sprig of parsley.
Would I have come here on my own? No. I'm clearly not this restaurant's target demographic.
Do I appreciate the effort they made to include vegan & vegetarian options on their group menu, like breaded cauliflower? Absolutely.
Did I imagine the chefs in the kitchen exclaiming "oh God, we have to include vegetables" in desperation? Many times.
Did my meal remind me of sad wedding venue or cafeteria food? Yes.
But if you're planning a group dinner, it sure as heck beats a steak-only menu. Plus there's lots of seating, & service is quick & efficient, so you'll be back at the office in under 2 hours.
