Review Summary

While many guests rave about the healthy menu options, creative cocktails, and friendly, efficient service that makes the restaurant a go-to spot for both casual lunches and relaxed dinners, some visitors have expressed concerns regarding rising prices, smaller portion sizes, and occasional inconsistencies in service speed or food seasoning.

This place is truly a hidden gem 💎, If you are looking for high quality, healthy & reasonably priced food in the Old-Port this is one of very few places that is not a tourist trap. The have habds down the best fresh salades 🥗 & poke bowls in the area 🍜. If you go to eat there they have a chaming dining room, they serve delicious 🍹🍸 & have some great entree options, the calamari is my favorite. Well worth the detour especially for lunch of pickup.

Sympathique endroit pour un lunch, surtout en période estivale. Délicats poke. Service un peu plus lent en période d'achalandage. La musique est un peu forte en journée, un peu difficile de se parler. On y va pour l'emplacement central & les bons petits plats

Bonne adresse de poke bowl!! Décor style Boho digne d'un restaurant de la côte ouest. Endroit très rafraîchissant. Vous pouvez manger sur place comme pour emporter. Si vous travaillez & peu de temps de pause, vous pouvez commander à l'avance & passer récupérer votre lunch.

This place does nice poke bowls. I can't comment on other food. Great atmosphere & decor, just missing the beach view if you know what I mean. Service was good, the place was not packed but meals came in about 15 minutes. Food, I had the Tao poke bowl & at first I was skeptical on how good their general Tao could be but in the end I was impressed. The bowls (or plates) is shallow filled with rice & vegetables & this one came with Kim chi. A bit pricey at $20+ but it's just enough food to keep you going. I would definitely go back but it would have to be with a friend that wanted a healthy lunch.

Great restaurant for lunch/dinner - very & delicious fresh meals. I ordered the salmon Poke bowl, it's one of the best poke bowls I've ever had. The staff is also very kind & professional. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!

A creative menu with a variety of freshly made dishes. Cauliflower tacos, interesting salads, poke, etc. Friendly servers playing a great selection of 80 tunes at lunch

Ate here twice during a one week stay. First time was a late lunch. Our server (Colette?) was excellent & the food was okay but seemed overpriced. We returned another day in the evening where the servers were RUDE, seemed distracted by eachother, & left us standing at the door awaiting a greeting for far too long. There were some other rude things said during the ordering process, we ordered & ate & left. Did not order any alcohol & so once again the price was kinda crazy. I liked their simple menu, the place is adorable & very convenient to where we were staying. Stayed a week in Montreal, ate at a lot of places, these were the only wait staff that we encountered that were not friendly.
