so its taste mtl week and i was looking for new places to try. places that had decently good reviews so this one caught my eye.\n\nRSVP is extremely easy with open table and a call back the morning of your reservation to confirm. easy as pie!\n\nbeautiful downstairs dining room with a bar overlooking the kitchen where you can enjoy watching cooks preparing the apps (and drool over some of them) or peak in the kitchen. there's a dining room upstairs too but i have no idea what it looks like.\n\nservice is attentive, waiters are extremely friendly and helpful. it wasn't rushed. after finishing my main, they didn't bring dessert out until i was ready which was like 10-12 minutes later.\n\nas for appetizer, i got the ostrich neck terrine with a foie gras surprise alongside some fresh greens, chopped chestnut, caramelized onions with slices of toasted baguette. it was definitely good with the many notes of flavor. it made me want more of it.\n\nfor main, it was the roasted salmon over a bed of cabbage, dulse gremolata and hareng-cini. the salmon was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and incredibly moist. 30-45 seconds less and it could be considered raw. the hareng-cini was crispy but lacked that something.\n\nand to finish it off, a chocolate caramel fleur de sel tart with confit butternut squash and pumpkin seeds (if i remember correctly). loved the squash and its accompanying sauce. enjoyed the caramel kick to the tart. as for the chocolate part, good but not rich enough.\n\nto accompany my main, i got their suggested wine that paired perfectly with the salmon.\n\nprice wise, with the glass of wine and after factoring in tips, you're looking in the neighborhood of $65. that's for their taste mtl menu. outside of that, expect to pay more.\n\nall in all, it was definitely good food that is perfectly cooked/prepared but it was missing that something. that je ne sais quoi that would definitely make you want to come back. i didn't get that feeling. instead, it was more of a \"i may consider this place if out with a bunch of friends looking for some french cuisine\"\n\nps. by sitting at the bar, i got a good look of the mackerel app with squid ink. it looks and sounds even better than the ostrich app
