    Honestly one of the best meals we have had in years. Will start off with the one bad thing and honestly, was not really all that bad. After putting in our order, the kitchen advised that the porterhouse was not available that evening, even thought it's one of their signature cuts. Doesn't matter, we got to try the tomahawk instead and I have not had a steak that tasted as delicious as that it did in years. Whatever your seasoning is, don't change it. Also had the filet mignon, and both steaks were cooked perfectly as ordered. We also had the seafood tower for 4 which was just fantastic and a seafood lover's delight, even the dipping sauces for the seafood were excellent. Finally, the service was truly above reproach. I really liked how the wait staff worked as a team throughout the night to ensure we were always taken care of. Would highly recommend this restaurant for steak or cru.

    What a great experience! Please do not hesitiate to book Memo for those reading this review. Do not miss out if you are in montreal. You can not get this experience at this price point anywhere else. Chef Remi Lemieux is a big deal being on the show of Top Chef Canada but he is so down to earth. Sabrina Kale was fabulous as well. She kept the wine flowing! I sat at the bar due to the prior reviews but anywhere at the restaurant, Chef Remi will be stopping by at your table. I hope to be back soon but once the words gets out on this place, I know it will be harder to get the pernsonnel experience that I received. That's ok because they deserve that. Please spread the word once you get to try Memo.
