Food was excellent. Service was good but not as attentive as it should be. We were left to ask for the bill after quite some time having finished our meal. It was very loud. It’s a good energy but u have to almost yell to hear each other.

We enjoyed our time and the food was good. We were sat at the front of the restaurant at a smaller table which made it more uncomfortable and took away from our experience but otherwise it was a nice night.

Stunning historical setting that is a must see for all looking for a fabulous dinner venue in Montreal. Servers lovely but service slow especially in bar waiting for drinks to be made, and in restaurant waiting on bill. Dinner with cocktails, bottle of wine, shared beet salad & halibut main courses each, with tip $375
