   A rather mixed experience, the service, particularly by the maitre d and wait staff was excellent , the food however was a disappointment particularly the duck breast which we attributed to it being cooked a la souvide, which rather destroyed the texture. The extensive wine list was reasonably priced and contained a couple of gems if time is spent going through it. The ambience was a little spoilt by the high noise level but this seems to be standard in Montreal as all restaurants have hard surfaces and little or no soft furnishing to absorb sound.

   Great food and service; though the staff was overwhelmed and overworked and you could tell. Many details were overlooked, dirty cutlery, cold coffee was served, missing fruit. Our server was kind and apologetic and was doing a fabulous job- but you could tell that it was just too much for him and his colleagues. The place was packed and understaffed which created a not as pleasurable experience.

    Flaws in the food and service marred what was otherwise a pretty good dining experience. Ambience is elegant, but noisy. Staff seemed overwhelmed. We did not receive our appetizer until 2 hours after we sat down. Food quality is uneven. For instance, the Bouillabaisse contained nice pieces of fish but also huge chunks of nearly raw fennel.

    Definitely not adding this restaurant to our list of Montreal favorites, and sorry to say, this was an unenjoyable experience for the four of us last Saturday evening. The space was very nice…great lighting and nice decor; however, even though we booked several weeks in advance, they put us at a table right next to the entry door and the hostess station, so there was high traffic, noise, and little privacy. We started with some cocktails and two orders of Oysters Rockefeller. The cocktails were good, and while the oysters were cooked properly, they lacked much flavor as they featured bland cheddar cheese and they lacked that nice crispy topping of buttery bread crumbs). At the recommendation of the server, my husband and I ordered the seared duck breast with polenta, root veggies, and a light sauce. Sadly, the duck was extremely overcooked—my husbands duck was grey! The polenta was thick and tasteless (are you sensing a trend?). We actually sent my husbands plate back to the kitchen and shared my portion (they never did bring out the other portion!). My daughter and her fiancé ordered the lobster tail with squid ink risotto. The rice was watery and tasteless, and the seafood was so overcooked they had a difficult time removing the lobster meat from the shell. The calamari garnish was so tough you could not pierce it with a fork. They were polite and ate their meals (a mistake, in my opinion). The server admitted we were not the first patrons to voice these same complaints and the manager removed $140.00 from our bill. While we appreciated that much compensation, we would much have preferred a delicious meal. Upon leaving the restaurant, we all raided the convenience store across the street and indulged in some salty snacks and ice cream since we all felt so unsatisfied with our dinners. What a shame..what should have been an enjoyable celebratory evening was less than enjoyable, and downright disappointing! Needless to say, we will not be back.

    Positives: great location, nicely decorated, decent wine list, oysters were well shucked Negatives: short staffed, small tables, mediocre cocktails, small menu, very slow service, main course took at least 30min to come (at 9:30pm) My partner ordered the duck breast with polenta but it came out plated with mashed potatoes after we waited at least 30min for our main courses, he told one waitress who went off and spoke to someone, nothing happened for 5min. The assistant manager eventually came over and took his plate away and said sorry, waited another 5min with no explanation. He then went over to talk to someone, 3min later the manager came over and apologized, said it was a mistake and offered a redo or another meal or dessert. By this point it was 9:50pm and neither of us were interested in waiting at least another 15min for a meal when I had already eaten most of my meal (cold at this point). Overall a very frustrating experience in how poorly it was handled.

    Myriam a été la meilleure serveuse que j’ai eue depuis longtemps. La pénurie de main-d'oeuvre actuelle dans ce domaine affecte énormément la qualité générale d’un restaurant... ce que je n’ai absolument pas ressenti à la brasserie 701. Service professionnel personnalisé, nourriture très bonne et une ambiance distinguée. J’ai adoré et j’y retournerais chaque semaine si possible. 10/10 et encore merci Myriam.

    Made a reservation for 2:15 on Mother's day. I got a call telling me that they had a special buffet, which I was fine with. She failed to mention that everything will close at 3:00. The server informed us that the buffet will close in 40ish min in a rushed manner. When we checked out the buffet, the selection was disappointingly limited, consisting of seemingly store-bought pastries, charcuterie, 2 kinds of cheese and some cut up fruits. For a buffet that costs 20+ dollars, it was lacking in quality. The service was okay but one of our party who arrived a bit later wasn't even shown to the table and had to walk in awkwardly on his own. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. Perhaps it was because of the buffet but I would not return.

    Le service de réservation à l’entrée etait d’une méchanceté incomparable et pas professionnelle. Nous avons été mis en attente avec 2enfants a cause qu’il n’y avait pas de place pour un enfant. Et apres 30min d’attente, on a du juste quitter a cause du délai et aussi de la fatigue des enfants. Je suis vraiment ps satisfaite du service et de l’accommodement.

    Lovely ambiance with high ceilings. We were celebrating our daughters university graduation. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. A pleasant surprise given its proximity to the notre dame basillica, was expecting the food to be more touristy. Highly recommend.

    Superbe restaurant au vieux port de Montréal, idéal pour une occasion comme un anniversaire ou une date. La nourriture était à couper le souffle, pour ne pas mentionner la tartine forestière qui était tout simplement décadente. Le tout, avec un prix très raisonnable. Maxime nous a fait passé un super moment et était très serviable. Bref, très content d’avoir découvert ce petit bijou, j’y retournerais très certainement!
