Food was incredible and service was above par. Ask for Laura. She suggested the best wine, accommodated our dietary restrictions, and recommended the best meals. Our group had a great time passing around plates and trying to see whose was best. They all had such unique flavor! We will be back for the food and especially Laura!

We took our family of 7 here out for dinner and were so pleased with the attentive waitstaff, bilingual menu, and overall ambience of the restaurant. The portion sizes were great and the prices were reasonable. We would gladly come back again next time we visit Montreal.

We were given a wonderful booth seating that kept things pleasantly quiet. It was well worth any awkwardness in getting in and out of the middle if the bench. Our waiter gave excellent service. I believe his name was Justin. Food restrictions were handled admirably by kitchen manager Nigel. The only thing I could wish for is lower prices so we could go more often!
