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

Extraordinary staff. Very helpful helping me getting seated - I was with my mom with limited mobility. I can’t remember ever being so well taken care of by a restaurant. Helping us choose the wine, food… a real pleasure. Food was fantastic as well. We were not rushed at all.

Great location, modern and well designed, felt spacious and open. Perfect service, just attentive enough to feel like they are aware of you without being annoying. Food was delicious, a small menu made with good ingredients, simple but tasty, as Italian food should be. Overall a good experience, I will certainly be returning soon

The food and service are outstanding! The restaurant should consider adding the sun screen or the real curtains that can block the direct sunlight, which was very uncomfortable and disturbing the enjoyment of the food.
