A: Good food. Manufactured atmosphere. Insincere service. We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking Old Montreal on a cold Thursday evening in November. That night the restaurant appeared warm and romantic. We made reservations for Friday and requested a table near the fireplace. Upon arriving Friday night, we were seated upstairs near a fireplace even though downstairs wasn't full. Unfortunately, upstairs was decidedly more casual, loud and touristy. There was a company Christmas party going on in a banquet room just on the other side of a door by our table. Load music and shrieking cheers from partygoers competed with the restaurant's already-too-loud background music making it impossible to have an intimate discussion. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. We shared a Caesar salad, French onion soup, and filet medallions wrapped in bacon. The salad was fresh but average in flavor. The soup broth had a rich flavor, however the added bread became too soggy too fast. The medallions, served with garlic mashed potatoes and a mushroom sauce, were definitely the highlight, cooked perfectly at medium-rare. We didn't stay for dessert or digestifs, as the continued competing atmospheres and lackluster service was less than impressive. From seating to departure, we were there just 45 minutes. Not what we had wants from our romantic evening out. As we left, no one inquired as to our experience, though there were at least 2 hostesses and one who appeared to be the manager, standing at the entrance. We will not return to this restaurant and would not recommend it for a romantic weekend dinner, especially during holiday season.

Q: negative

A:
We come here often because we live downtown. When this place opened it was great, good food and decent service. This morning it was packed and they could not handle it...there must not have been a manager because everyone was running around and the place was a mess. When we were finally seated I ordered my usual iced mocha. After 10 minutes our sever apologized for the coffe not being ready, as it was being made by Mark the barista. When I did get my coffee, thank god I stirred it up because there was a balled up napkin in it! I gave it back and Mark replied that he had just made it and it wasn't like that (like I had done it to my own coffee). He made a new one and rudely brought it to our table without even looking at me. To top it off he made the WRONG kind. I get it, they were busy and people make mistakes. A simple sorry or pretending like he cared would have made the situation better. The food is good but we've had too many experiences with mark and a few others there that we won't be going back.
