| - Everything was good here, and I cannot say enough about our waiter. Easy 5 star review.
Mrs. Pinky and I arrived an hour early for our reservation, planning on having a few glasses of wine before our meal. Instead we ended up lounging at a table - they had seating available - and our waiter realized we were American. He chuckled at our broken French and spoke to us in English, quickly allowing us to become comfortable.
We are fairly easy to please, and he asked Mrs. Pinky what kind of wine she liked. She replied she was open minded and liked white wines, he said, "I'll take care of you, I'll get you a flight of things I think you'll like." I said, "I'll do the same... but for red wine, if I may?" He happily obliged.
The dude nailed it. He made great recommendations that paired well with our food. I had a burgundy, a pinot noir, and a syrah. Mrs. Pinky has a riesling, a sancerre, and some interesting oxidized mixed berry wine that I can't remember. Everything was fantastic. We had the duck cavatelli, charcuterie plate, venison tartare, olives with candied lemon, and finished with the cinnamon churros and chocolate dipping sauce.
We were never rushed, the food was fabulous, the wine plentiful, and when we were ready to go our waiter took the time to recommend 5 or 6 different places we should go next. We took his advice and walked down to Mimi La Nuit in Old Montreal when we were finished.
Fantastic place, I highly recommend going if you're thinking about it.
