We arrived in Montreal for the Jazz Festival hoping to have some of the fine French food that we'd heard so much about. With so many to choose from we settled on Modavie based on location and some of the good reviews. At seven on a Wednesday night the place was pretty empty. Service was fine but the food didn't impress, especially for the price. My wife had sea bass and I had their recommended signature dish, rack of lamb. There was nothing wrong with either of the dishes, but there was also nothing special about them. My lamb was served with some sautéed green beans and a stack of potatoes with goat cheese. Neither had much taste at all. Even the lamb was bland. The sea bass looked and tasted like trout. For the amount we spent I would expect a far better meal.
