| - We stopped by and though we have not had a reservation a friendly maitre, promptly seated us. The food is truly delicious. Incredible cocktails, fresh bread and most importantly the dishes, executed impeccably. Our duck was delicious. Scallops though only 3 of them on the plate, were really good. The soup , the salad tasted fresh, prepared and presented really nice. Dessert and foie gras reminded us that we are indeed in Montreal.
The service on the other hand was a total disaster. Our waitress did not bother to explain menu to us at all. After she took our orders, she disappeared completely. Even though my wife mentioned that we would like some wine with our main courses, she did not even bothered for once to stop by and ask if we like our food or if we need anything. She was running around like maniac without stopping. I guess she just did not like us. This restaurant serves souffles. Is does require 18 minutes of wait and in our humble experience, in restaurants that do serve souffle, waiters tell about it, so people can preorder instead of waiting, especially with two tired children. So no souffle for us. No questions about after dinner drinks. One would think that if tip is calculated based on the check, the waiter would at least try to offer some options even if not make our experience more pleasant but to make the tip bigger. I guess that waiter was working for fun.
We really enjoyed our food. It was great and the chef should be kissed nightly. But if you take a great picture and hang it on the meat hooks instead of the frame, the perception is really mixed.
