Exceptionally slow service. Didn't get drinks until 30 minutes after we sat down. Ignored for a full 20 minutes. We had reservations & were on time. Seemed understaffed on the floor. No apologies for the delays. Food was average. Would not return unless service improves.

My wife & I recently met a business colleague for dinner at Zibo on Peel Street in Griffintown, Montreal. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing.
I do not enjoy giving restaurants poor reviews, especially in Canada & even more so in my hometown of Montreal. However, my recent visit to Zibo left me no choice.
Zibo is a Quebec-based restaurant chain serving Asian-California fusion cuisine.
The restaurant is attractive & includes a sidewalk patio for outdoor dining. However, it was too windy that evening for us to consider sitting outside.
We received a warm welcome, with service available in both English & French. Although we had a reservation for 6:30 PM, there were plenty of tables available. Our server was attentive, & we began with a shared plate of calamari. Unfortunately, the portion was very small & buried under bland batter. It was among the worst calamari I have had, especially at a price of Cdn. $20.00.
For my main course, I ordered the salmon with citrus salsa verde, served with quinoa & fresh vegetables. The salmon was slightly burnt on the bottom, but otherwise edible. The citrus salsa verde was acceptable, but not particularly memorable. The quinoa was served at room temperature, & the vegetables were severely undercooked. I know restaurants serve vegetables al dente, but my broccoli was positively undercooked.
My wife felt the restaurant was expensive for such a casual place. The bill for two, without any alcohol (we don't drink) was $ 150.00 for two, which was way too expensive for the quality of the food we were served.
I hope Zibo makes improvements in the kitchen, because right now, I would suggest it's not worth the visit.
