    Little gem in Le Square Phillips Hotel! The food, drinks, service, ambiance were outstanding. The cauliflower appetizer, a signature dish, was amazing. The whole meal, from smoked salmon appetizer, grilled octopus and tuna tataki mains, to the unique lemon pie dessert were complex and delicious.

    What a wonderful experience we had at your restaurant. The food is top notch, the service fantastic (Amanda, you rock), and the atmosphere is chique and warm. I recommend getting a seat in front of the kitchen and watching them work! It's mesmerizing! We were there on Nov 15 and had a fantastic time. The goat cheese ravioli was so rich in flavor. The Tuna Sashimi was amazing. The honeydew sauce that went with it was a pairing that I have never had and I'm so glad I chose it. The Duck Margaret and Braised short ribs were so tender. The bread pudding and that dollop of chocolate deliciousness on it was to die for. The Drinks were fantastic. Definitely getting another f-in bon Negroni next time I come. Thanks for a great night ❤️

    I have to start by how amazing our server, Marie P was. I have not had such an attentive and nice server in years. Her recommendation on the food and drinks were on point. The Lychee Martini is really good! We ordered 2 meals and 2 apps for 3 people and it was more than enough. The restaurant was hopping, and had a constant turn over. Our party of 3 are all on the older side, yet the noise and music level was not too bothering us. I recommend the lasagna!

    The decor is stunning, I love the style! The food was amazing and we are glad to have found a new spot in Montreal. The restaurant had a large table, so it was fairly busy, and service a bit slow. However, they are a brand new establishment and still working out the kinks. I really enjoyed the menu and every bite. We will be back and would highly recommend Sea-Me to foodies. You will be in for a treat!
