text: I am giving this place one star and that is only because of the location The restaurant is situated in the Old Port of Montreal on a beautiful cobblestone street tons of charmthat is where the positive part of this review endsnnWe were greeted as we entered the restaurant and were seated quickly However it took almost minutes to get a glass of water another minutes to get our beer which we ordered once our water was delivered When our extremely stressed profusely sweating and almost invisible waiter did finally bring us our beer in bottles he asked us if we wanted a glass and if we did that we could go ahead and use our wine glasses which we were not usingnnAbout an hour after being seated and minutes after ordering our food we still did not receive a morsel of food We noticed that the waiter had been bringing baskets of warm bread to the tables earlier so I asked if it would be possible to get some bread while we waited for our food The waiter explained that they were out of bread and were waiting for more to be delivered and that even if they had bread that the oven was being used for something else and our bread would be cold He explained that we were first on his list for bread once they got more bread About minutes later he brought us breadit was cold along with the butter My friend decided to heat the butter by holding it over the candle flame which could have worked brilliantly only the plastic packaging began to melt so cold butter is what we settled for nnSalad was included with my meal but not my friends so he ordered a salad in addition to his meal The salads arrived about an hour after we placed our order yes AN HOUR FOR SALAD nnWe did finally receive our food I had ordered the salmon with shrimp sauce and my friend had ordered the whitefish The portion sizes were large enough but my salmon was extremely fatty and the shrimp had not been deveined and my friends fish was riddled with bones we counted at least of them Both dishes were served with rice and overcooked vegetables rappini and zuchini We asked our waiter to bring us some lemon wedges but he forgot so we asked the hostess and she went to the bar and got us some of course this was almost minutes after we had been served the fishnnThe waiter did not once ask us how our meals were nor did he ask us if we wanted another drink after we finished our beer We had to flag down the hostess for everything nnId like to point out that the restaurant was by no means busy and we were not alone in our assessment We watched a table of people gulp down their green soup and then wait for well over an hour before receiving their mains and only half the table got their mains the rest had to wait an additional minutes nnOur meals salad and fish along with beers total over I have to say that paying that bill felt like wallet rapennAll in all this place was a disaster and I would not return and I certainly would not recommend it to anyone
