    Food was excellent but the service was even better. Very attentive and very quick service. Waitress noticed that my lamb was not cooked as well as I ordered and asked if I would like it cooked more. How nice! The other meal s ordered were just right. Cleaned plates all around.

    The tomato soup with arugula pistou was fabulous. The 9e burger with carmelized onions was very good, and perfectly cooked -- although the charred outside of the burger did not appeal. The service (Destiny) was outstanding! What a treat!

    For 2024 the service is impeccable, but a little pretentious. A client should feel comfortable, not in stage before your staff, needing to uphold the standards of the aristocracy. In other words, I expect perfection, but you shall not expect perfection from me. Such is life. And more directly - have each server, no matter what level, make eye contact and say “Merci” at least once. Otherwise, the best Montreal dining experience thus far. R
