Came here for an anniversary dinner while celebrating in Montreal - our server was exceptional and very patient with the language difference, and actually went out of their way to provide service in English. Food was exceptional, we enjoyed both of our entrees. A cappuccino to end the dinner was perfect. We expected there to be live music, but we didn’t look into it too far and realized too late that the performers came on an hour into our reservation. We stayed for a bit savoring the coffee to hear the music, which was phenomenal. Pricy, but worth it for our two years.
