We went here for Christmas Eve dinner & opted for their special holiday menu. The restaurant had a great atmosphere & was understandably very busy for the occasion. Overall, the food was good, & the meat was definitely the highlight of the meal-perfectly cooked exactly how I requested & full of flavour. You can really tell that meat is their strong point & what they do best.
Service was a bit on the slower side, but given that it was Christmas Eve & the restaurant was packed with a special menu running, it was completely understandable. Desserts were enjoyable, although the crème brûlée was slightly lacking in flavour compared to the rest of the meal. Still, the quality of the meat more than made up for it.

The restaurant is located at the heart of the old port. That justifies the high number of reviews.
For appetizer, we ordered escargot which was excellent (not as good as Modavie, but still it was great).
The entree was'okayish to good' in my opinion. We had bone-in ribeye steak which was not well-cooked (restaurants like Joey provide a much higher quality for the same price).
& finally we ordered crème brûlée for dessert which was too sweet (for example, compared to the Modavie's, the quality of crème brûlée was way lower here…).
The service was nice & professional, but it didn't really felt personal. I had higher expectations from this place.
The atmosphere was beautiful, but I wish the tables were not super close to each other. It felt a bit uncomfortable that we could hear all the conversations happening in our adjacent tables (& probably vice versa).

The only redeeming quality was our server who was extremely apologetic. Food was super delayed, steaks we're undercooked & when it was offered to retire a new steak, the old dried out steaks returned.
Super disappointed with the experience especially considering the star rating & price point.

The food was good but nothing spectacular. The price is fair for the quality & portion size. Service was fast & efficient.

This is a fun & quality restaurant. Outstanding filet mignon but what really makes it is the staff. Camille & her colleagues had an excellent dynamic!

Monosh was a great server. Everything was delicious & I was impressed with the speed & quality of service. We waited a little bit for our initial drink orders, which we thought was fine, but the restaurant went above & beyond & comped our dessert to make up for it.

Service was really warm & nice & the prices aren't bad at all but the food is quite poor. Crab cake was frozen in the middle, the bread is low quality, steaks were overcooked, lobster was rubber, fries weren't made in house or served hot. I'm sure some people like this traditional (outdated) steakhouse but I won't be returning. No problem & all the best to them!

Simply put, this was the best steak I've had in my 30 years. The cut was exceptional, the portion generous, & it was more affordable than similar restaurants in the area. My wife & I were pleasantly surprised by how quickly our main course arrived, especially on such a busy night. For the quality & price, I'm almost relieved I don't live in Montreal-otherwise, this would definitely be my go-to spot without hesitation.

I enjoyed the outdoor patio & the decor. However, the seating wasn't the most comfortable compared to other restaurants in this category. Including taxes & tip, our bill for two people was over $260. The drinks were fine & met expectations, but nothing significant or memorable. The pour was reasonable for the price. We shared the Fried Calamari, which was perfectly done, & the dessert, a Crème Brûlée, was very good. Here is the big disappointment: Given they are next door to a famous steakhouse franchise, I expected Vieux-Port Steakhouse, a small restaurant, to exceed the quality of a mass-production franchise chain. We ordered two steaks, one medium & the other medium rare. Both were dry & overcooked, & even seemed boiled, with no smoke taste or signs of char-grilled cooking. Thankfully, the sauce made it easier to eat. The staff saw my dry, uninspiring steak but never bothered to ask if I was satisfied with my meal. It felt like she knew & was afraid to ask, perhaps fearful of the owner or chef. Owners should always encourage quality in their food, especially since most people today can make a simple steak & expect a professional chef to do the same. The restaurant had very few patrons, so it wasn't a case of being busy, just a careless Sunday crew (or the B Team). I am typically not this critical in reviews, but at this price point, there is an expectation, especially for a restaurant located in the food capital of Canada. I would encourage the chef to invest in a thermometer for steaks to avoid costly food waste & negative reviews. Given the many positive reviews, I might be an isolated case. I hope to visit again someday with a different experience.

This place is touted as one of the better Steakhouses in Montreal. We were very disappointed in our entire experience, starting from the host, the waiters & even the quality of the food. We went there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. When we got there, I told the host that we were celebrating her birthday & that I would like if they could bring the dessert (that I was planning to order) with a little candle. He said that he would mention to the waiter (which he clearly didnt). After we were seated, outside, on a 2-person table, no one showed up to take our order. Soon after, 2 young girls walked in & were seated right next to us. Not sure who they were, but every single waiter came by their table, sometimes 2 waiters at a time, & kept talking to those girls, quite loudly. Needless to say, all the waiting staff were preoccupied with these two girls (perhaps they were the daughters of the owner who knows). Our service was pathetic, & we had to suffer this crowd of waiters coming to talk to the girls sitting next to our table, which made our dinner experience quite miserable. The steak we ordered was'meh' !! We have had much better in Montreal, in couple of other restaurants. The vegetables were boiled!! Yuck. Nothing to give a good review. When we ordered the dessert, the host (who by the way did stop by to talk to those girls) completely forgot to bring out a candle. By this time, we were disgusted with the whole experience. To top it all, the waiter, who was rather pushy & cocky, promptly shows me how to put in the 15% tip (I was looking for the custom tip button, to not tip at that level), but he punched in the 15% number for me, & it went through. I was mad at myself for not standing up to him & going back on the handheld billing machine to fix the tip. But oh well, if you are celebrating or wanting a nice dinner, do not go here. There are better places around, for your money's worth & with better service & ambience. For the owner- Please dont tell us to visit again to give you the chance to make it right. We are visiting Montreal & will never visit your restaurant again. If anything, you may want to refund me my service tip amount, which was not deserved to be given.

Alin is one of the best waiter I met, he was very kind & suggested really good option that was worth the try ! The negroni cocktail was excellent & well-balanced. The fried calmar was so fresh & soft to eat, really delicious. I highly recommend trying those ! The oyster were good The 16oz steak was marbled with fat & cooked well but the sauces made it an even more mouth watering experience. Can't say which one to try they were all so good but the mushrooms & pepper was my favourite to pair my steak It can be a bit expensive (as many other steakhouse) but you won't be disappointed with the quality !
