Food and service was excellent! The oysters were highly recommended as an appetizer- the ones made with maple and jalapeño and miso gratin were the best! Grilled octopus was also delicious! For entrees, we had halibut (fish of the day), salmon and the black linguine-portions were just right and was some of the best seafood I had. Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back when in Montreal again.

This was our first time there. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. It's a small place, so you should expect to be eating at a relaxed pace, where items come out as they're ready. We will go back.
