    The vibe was fantastic and the ambiance was amazing, it made for a really enjoyable evening. The only downside was the ongoing construction in the area, which made getting there a little tricky, but that's pretty typical for downtown Montreal. Our server was wonderful, very attentive and found the perfect balance between checking in on us and giving us space, which takes real skill. As a picky eater, I was so happy to be able to enjoy a great meal with no issues. The NY strip steak was cooked perfectly, exactly how we requested, and the shrimp were huge...I loved that! The drinks were also really well made, and the dessert was just the right size for sharing and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a fantastic dinner and I would absolutely go back.

    We were there on April 24th 2025, we both had steaks a filet and a ribeye, both were cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic, we had chilled oysters for an appetizer they salty and delicious a little on the small size but delicious. The star of the show was the Monte Cristo potatoes. you will just have to go and try them. Our waiter was excellent and funny. We will go back.

    Good atmosphere and attentive service however food was disappointing. My wife fell ill after taking the salmon tartare. The shrimp cocktail was reasonable but not particularly tasty. The beef fillet I ordered came “blue” - raw and cold inside - rather than medium rare and after I asked for it to be cooked a bit more it came back charcoaled and without the French fries which were with it. Looking at the website and at some of the reviews had great expectations but were unfortunately disappointed.
