    Wonderful Saturday night dinner with Montreal’s legendary singer/drummer Graham Chambers and his trio playing classic Motown/soul/blues and more. Cool, romantic spot with terrific food and service. Date night spot. Traditional Jazz trio w/ vocalist play live upstairs.

    Never disappoints! Amazing food, had quite a few options but my must tries are: modavie poutine, lamb chops and lamb cavatelli. You won’t be disappointed! Excellent service, timely and friendly. Great value overall for the food quality.
