    Everything was excellent. Service was great. They were setting up for a jazz performance but it was not intrusive to our experience whether you wanted live music or not. Highly recommend.

    A fantastic jazzy experience and everyone accommodated a celiac guest. Gluten-free dining is a challenge but Modavie made it feel easy. They were thoughtful and helpful. Gluten-free poutine was delightful!

    We got 15min late because got lost in the highway driving there, they were nice to allow us to sit. We loved the ambient, the food and the service. Nice live music. The only thing we didnt like was that our table was in a far corner, very dark, and close to the restrooms. Next time in Montreal, we'll be back for sure.
