Sentiment analysis: Location: Tucked away in the old port, just off St. Paul. Space: You can tell that great care was taken in the design and decor of this space because it's absolutely stunning. When you walk in, you'll notice a beautiful mural depicting the days of Montreal past. Similarly, there is another mural located inside the shop. Yes, the place is mostly white and may come across as sterile to some, however, all that white is contrasted with beautiful pops of color that peek out from behind the displays... Displays that are filled with lovely, perfectly crafted pastries and sweets that you would be a fool not to try. Not to mention the awesome stone wall (that may or may not be original) and hardwood floors. The space is incredible - I'm thinking they should let me live there. In terms of seating, there are only a handful of tables, but these are well spaced out so you don't need to share your dessert with your neighbors. You all know how I feel about personal space! Stuff: You saw my pictures. If you didn't, then go look at them and you'll immediately understand why I fell in love with this place. The Maison C-F offers fresh pastries that are so pretty, you'll feel bad cutting into them with that fancy spork they give you. They also make macarons, cakes, baked goods, and they have a refrigerated section where you can purchase pre-made cakes. I'm not sure if they're ice cream cakes so you can go check that out for yourself. I ordered an Americano and it was served just the way I like it, using Illy coffee. My dessert of choice was the chocolate eclair. It was positively divine - delectable - deliriously delicious. I have never been served an eclair that was so.... stuffed - and the filling was chocolate! YUM! They're not cheap, that's for sure. The eclair was amazing and I could tell the patissier uses quality ingredients simply by its taste and texture. That said, it WAS a bit rich, which is why I begrudgingly left a little piece behind. I just couldn't eat anymore despite my best efforts. My date had the pot au caramel and loved it. Service: This is why I rated this 4 stars instead of 5. No one greeted us when we walked in. We stood at the counter for a minute because we weren't sure if we should be waiting for someone to seat us or if it was OK to pick our own table. Even then, no one greeted us. We then sat at our table for a few minutes while boy-waiters walked by and looked at us, but still offered no greeting. HELLO are you BLIND? For a minute, I thought we'd entered into a new restaurant trend - where the wait staff is both blind mute. When we finally did get service, our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, so that made up for the initial failure to launch. BUT you should still greet your clients when they walk through the door. On a related note, M. Faure was out and about on the floor chitchatting with clients as well as greeting those that walked through the door. We ran into him in the elevator and he was very friendly. It's great to see a business owner taking the time to interact with their clientele - it definitely encourages repeat visits! So.... you have to go. Get off your couch, brave this crazy-ass Montreal polar vortex and go feast on Christian Faure's pastries. Don't worry - you'll leave there a little plumper so you won't feel the cold as much =-D

Sentiment analysis: Standing in line....for an hour......hour & a half now....now two hours, and finally got a table. Now off to the line to get crab legs, yes a line, then with my plate of legs I move into the line to get the legs cooked in a yummy Cajun style seasoning, so after a total of waiting too many hours & too many minutes to count I finally got to eat my crab legs. While the wait was beyond toooooooooooooo long, they were quite tasty! But the rest of the buffet food was plain ole mediocre $10.00 buffet food!!!!!! While the price laid was $25 per person. I would not recommend this place unless you come on Fridays for the crab legs. P.S our server/waiter wasn't looking to thrilled to be working there, no smiles, no welcoming chit chat, just nothing at all.

Sentiment analysis: So I guess its been a while since I stepped foot into a florist because I was amazed at what I have found. How many of us just order over the phone and have them deliver the arrangement and you never know what it even looked like right? I ordered over the phone with intention on picking it up myself and saving myself the $10 delivery charge and I'm sure glad I did. What ever happened to the country-bumpkin florists with everything roses and carnations??? Haha I'm sure they are still out there but not this spot! If this is how the florists roll nowadays then I must say we've come a long way baby. This place is full of unique, exotic and modern delights. Actual things that you want to keep watered and last a while enjoying them in your home/office. When I ordered over the phone Kara just asked me what I was looking for and she did the rest. Basically it was "from a man to a man" for sympathy of his wife passing. So it was masculine, vibrant, modern and gorgeous! When I went to pick it up I was so impressed. *See picture. I think I would rather know what I was ordering if it was from me but since it wasn't I just let her do the work and design. Seeing how it turned out I would say I would definitely trust Kara's judgement because she is great at what she does! Next time I order it will for sure be from here. Ask for Kara. You won't be disappointed! Thanks Kara!
