    Our server was amazing, made sure we liked our food and our wine. We didn’t love our entrees but that was not necessarily the restaurants fault. The wine and the lamb poutine appetizer was spectacular. Overall it we had a great time and would go back but chose different entrees.

    We had a nice dinner. We had a limited amount of time to eat. Notified the waiter immediately and was very accommodating. The French onion soup was the best I have ever had. The lamb chops and caesar salad were also very good. The tuna tartare was a bit disappointing but overall good experience.

    I usually don’t submit a review but I had to in this case. I heard from several sources including Yelp which I highly respect that this was a top Montreal restaurant. It highly disappointed my wife and I. I will start with the few positives. The waiter and service was nice. It was in a great section of Old Montreal. However, the tables were on top of each other. You had no privacy at all. In fact two tables away they were talking so loud that you couldn’t hear yourself think. I picked their signature dish which was the rack of lamb. It was horrible. It had maybe two bites of meat. It was so disappointing. My wife had the only chicken dish and it was so bland. We wanted to just leave and find a place to get nice dessert. Two thumbs down for this restaurant.
    ModavieResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback Larry ! We're glad you enjoyed the service and location, but we take it seriously that we didn’t meet your expectations with the food and ambiance. We’re committed to addressing the noise level and ensuring that our dishes are consistently satisfying and well-portioned. We’re going to make immediate changes to improve the overall experience, and we’d love the opportunity to show you the true quality we strive for. We hope to welcome you back soon!
