text: Mikes on St Catherine St in Montreal has the distinction of being the first restaurant that my family and I have walked out of My misgivings about the place turned out to be right The menu reads like a Dennys and while I have nothing against Dennys it just was not the experience we were looking for given the large number of eateries in the area The person who greeted my kids was pretty friendly giving them crayons and making them laugh and giving us a nice table But then the service went downhill from there Our server was clueless she was in the middle of taking our order for our kids meal and then someone enters the restaurant she knows and she JUST WALKS AWAY from the table to shake his hand make a reservation for him and catch up on life She is then gone for about minutes after she has spent time chatting with her acquaintance and even gone to refill drinks somewhere else etc My wife was furious and asked for another waiter no one ever showed up for minutes after that So we just picked up our things and left Reading the other reviews here I think we dodged a bullet We also informed our hotels concierge and they have put Mikes on a do not recommend list saying that this was not the first time they had heard about the service and I really do not care management
