A: My experiences with papa johns have always been good until I came to this particular store. The pizza itself was good, but the trouble I had getting it makes me not want to go back. They barely spoke English so it took them forever to get my order correct and to add on I had to wait about 20 minutes for my pizza. I was the ONLY one in the store. Not to mention when I finally got the pizza it wasn't hot. It was sorta warm but they could have done much better.
Q: positive

A: Found this great little cafe while looking for a different place in NDG - it was a fantastic little find. I had waffles with dulce de leche (the real stuff, not the sickly-sweet kind you sometimes get) while the gf had the banana foster waffles - both were outstanding. There was a bunch of other food on display that looking great, including legit-looking Argentinean empenadas (I'm going to go back just to try them). We had lattes, and the coffee was good (but not amazing). They were still better than most breakfast places in Montreal, so it's not actually a negative. The staff were really friendly. They offered to combine different things from the menu if we wanted, and gave suggestions when we asked, which was nice. They had a terrace-like setup of table and chairs out the front, taking great advantage of NDG's massive sidewalks - something I'll definitely be giving it a go on the warmer weekends.

Answer: My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary with our kids and therefore decided to give this place a try given the high ratings. I must say I was really disappointed. I gave 2 stars just for the views and for the amazingly delicious souffle, which by the way cost $15 each. I was not impressed by the phone manner of the person taking the reservation or the front hostesses. For a restaurant of this caliber, I would expect more courteous attitude. What I don't get is that I called 45 minutes before my dinner reservation time to see if I can move it up 1/2 hour. What I get in response is that they cannot change my reservation but I am welcome to arrive earlier to see if they would sit me. What kind of response is that? You either tell me that no tables were available or change my time. Upscale restaurants would not let their patrons wait if they have a reservation. We ended up arriving 10 minutes earlier, and even though I see a lot of empty tables, the hostess asked us to step aside and said we were early and that they would sit us at exactly 7pm. I was a bit turned off already. I was even more disappointed when even after both reservation taker and the waiter asked if we were celebrating any special occasion and we told them about our anniversary, nothing happened. Most restaurants would do something special with our desserts, but not this one. As for the food, the steak was ok but not worth $59. The lamb chops was good, but the Dover Sole was disappointing. It was pretty hard as I couldn't eat it without cutting it with a knife. At $69, I would expect better. I had it switched to salmon. It was better, but nothing to write home about. The strangest thing is the kids menu. I specifically asked and was told at reservation that there is a kids menu. When we sat down, there was none. I asked the waiter and at first he said that the kind of upscale restaurant that they are they don't really recommend the kids menu. I pressed further and he said the portion is too small for older kids, just for little ones under 5. My kids are 9 and 5. He cannot honestly expect me to order an adult entree for my 5-year-old! I ended up ordering pasta for my little one and the portion was just fine! With the kind of money we spent on this dinner, I could've easily gone to other restaurants in the area that offer better food and service. I just don't get the high ratings from other Yelpers.

Output: My husband and I were looking forward to trying this restaurant as it's one of the few non-chain restaurants in the area. Our first time we tried the omelette bar which was good enough, but the fillings could be more imaginative. We had to ask if they had potatoes, which they did, but didn't have a menu stating it. The omelette took up a whole small plate which was a bit messy to eat. The potatoes were lukewarm. It took forever to get our coffee. We asked for bread and they didn't have any on the menu. We also had to ask for utensils etc. etc. It was extremely unorganized. We decided to give it another try a month later and it was not any better. We were seated and few minutes later asked to move because other people were already seated at that table. We got up to order our omelettes and when we got back there were again no utensils and we had to ask for them. I asked if we could get a bagel and English muffin to go along with our omelettes. The waitress said she could get them from the front. She finally came back at the end of our meal with the check and I mentioned that we had ordered a bagel and English muffin. She replied "the barista was just too busy and couldn't get them ready, but I took them off the bill". Too busy to toast a bagel and English muffin??! And she didn't even come up to us before our meal ended to let us know. This place is way too disorganized, so we will not be going back anytime soon.

output: Small town feel, but too cramped. I swear my scrambled "thing" had one egg, and way too much cheese. Not in any rush to go back, though the service was ok and the ambiance was still nice.

A:
Not great. I would choose it over TK's across the street but that's not saying much. The bartender was friendly when we walked in and offered us samples but that was the extent of decent service we got. The beer selection was good. Not great. I would expect a place called "Taps" to have at least 25 brews on tap, they have more like 15. Still my husband was happy they had multiple IPA's. I cracked up that they had Charles Shaw wine to serve. Note to readers; this wine cost $3 a BOTTLE. On to the food. Don't do it. They have a "new chef" so we went for items that you can't screw up. News flash...you can screw up a grilled cheese! How? You ask? Douse it in artificially flavored oil and cook it just enough to NOT melt the cheese. Yuck!!! Go back to the drawing board...this is NOT an acceptable representation of one of he finest foods ever created. One last note...who on earth has cigars on their menu?
