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
