text: I go to Montreal every year for vacation and I tend to love everything about it The food is wonderful the people are friendly the atmosphere is beautiful Then I went to Le SaloonnnIf you are an Anglophone avoid this place A group of friends and I were recommended this place by a Francophone as a great place for brunch and cocktails When we got there we were seated in an inconvenient and out of the way second floor with no air conditioning on a very hot day Even though we were sweating like oxen we decided to try and make the best of it However their brunch menu was French only and when we asked if there was an Englishlanguage menu our waiter said no Nonplussed we did all of the work ourselves translating every single item we wanted since he did not try to help us once he knew we spoke no French We ordered everything in French as best we could along with drinksnnThe food and drinks were good do not get me wrong Everything else was awful The waiter who appeared to be afflicted with an attitude problem wherein he spoke perfectly serviceable English but chose to act like a buffoon out of a commitment to outright snobbery took half an hour to even come back with our drinks and take our orders The restaurant was nowhere near busy enough to warrant this mind you minutes later we got our order which was chock full of meat that we had specifically in French requested be left off of it for our vegetarian friends in the party rendering the food uneatable Finally after ordering a second round of drinks to stave off the heat half an hour of being ignored convinced us to cancel the outstanding order and have our checks brought to the tablennLet me make one thing clear I tip I tip across the board unless the service is bad enough to dip below that or stellar enough to warrant more The service was so halfassed and passiveaggressive that I broke this rule and did not tip a cent If I could subtract my tip from the total I would have felt somewhat assuagednnIn closing I hope I do not have to point out the hilarity of a cowboythemed bar being insulted that awful Americans would grace their establishment Nice to see our culture is good enough for you to structure your business around but our money is not good enough for you to put any effort towards earning
