Localisation géniale, ambiance excellente. Service ok. Mais la nourriture que nous avons mangé (pâtes, Ossobuco) n’étaient pas à la hauteur d’un grand resto Italien.

We were seated next to the server station and someone dropped a glass which shattered and even found some on top of our table. I no longer felt comfortable eating my meal (Osso Bucco which was quite tasty). A manager offered to replace my meal but my wife was halfway through her meal and I didn't want to wait so I declined but the manager offered to comp my meal which did not happen. When the server brought our bill, which seemed to take forever, no deduction was on our bill. I mentioned this to our server and she said okay. Came back another 10 minutes later with a beer removed and not my meal which was only half done. Not wanting to wait anymore, we settled up and left. Too bad since we were here before and really enjoyed it. Overall not as great an experience as we have had there before but hopefully this was just one of those times where things just do not line up.

It is a fun friendly place, the wait staff was friendly and efficient. However, it was so open and huge upstairs with no way to dampen the noise that it was hard for members of our party to converse. Atmosphere is “energetic,” true, but some noise dampening panels would go a long way toward making the experience more pleasant. Also adding restrooms upstairs would be very helpful.

We chose this restaurant based on reviews on OpenTable. It was a disappointment. The Caesar salad was bland. The carbonara was okay. They did not have the bottle of wine we ordered. The staff was kind but the feel was more pub like than anticipated. Salad came out before wine. Food was delivered to a side cabinet and sat there until our server brought it out. We won’t be going again.

This place is absolutely amazing! They had a plumbing issue today, which caused delays in the kitchen and made the wait time longer than usual. However the staff handled the situation perfectly, they brought us bottled water while we waited for our food and they even put our meals on the house and only made us pay for our drinks! And our meals were so good too; worth the wait if you ask me! I already went a couple time but the excellent service we received today just showed me once again why this place is worth the price! A particular thank you to the waiter we had who was super nice and joked with us when we were taking picture. I would definitely recommend this place. I’ve tried many different meals and the food is always incredible! Their terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the summer weather and to relax. I have been treated so nicely every time that it’s became my favourite restaurant since I’ve moved to Montreal!

choose this restaurant to have dinner 2 hours before a before concert at Bell Center. Advise the waiter of this situation to make sure we don't get there late. Unfortunately, waiter/barman ordered food way to late... he blamed it on the kitchen but we saw plates coming out pretty fast for people around us at the bar.... he forgot us completely. Asked for the bill and he charged us for the food we never received. plates arrived after we paid the revised bill...

I read the reviews and was very interested to try their food. I had heard good things. The location is nice and the place is very nice inside. Feels authentic. We liked our table and the service we got was very very good. I had read that the noise levels can be high and this was the case. We was a table of 3 and we had to fairly shout at times. This would not stop me going again though. The food was very tasty with good portions and at a good price. It was a belated birthday for my friend so they gave her a complimentary dessert which was very very nice of them. Overall it was a very nice dinner. I just would not go there if I want a quiet chat or a date.
