| - This place has a spectacular view of the lovely city of Montréal and is always very busy (expect lots of tourists). I heard very great comments on their brunch menu (but I have personally never tried).
We had a reservation for 2 at 8pm on a saturday night. Service was quick and effective, good ambiance music and a stunning sunset (prepared yourself to see everyone taking pictures all the time, you'll probably end up in a picture too!)
The food and drinks were unfortunately very average. We got a ceasar, a contratto spritz and a margarita, they were very 're invented' but frankly the original way to do it is better or maybe if they were not going 'out of the path' too much. We had salmon and beef tartare as entrées, it was not disgusting but didn't made us drool like we usually do when we get tartares.
I wanted to try the lobster spaghetti but it was no longer available so I took the kale&bacon mac&cheese and added lobster on it for 15$. My partner took the grilled contre-fillet. For my part the mac&cheese was soooo rich I could not eat it really, so I took my time and ended maybe eating 1/4 of it, and for the lobster, there was only 3 tiny pieces. For the contre-fillet once again, nothing disgusting but just average, no particular taste except for tons of butter. His fries never arrived so we asked our waitor for it and he was like 'ok I'll get you that quickly and I won't charge you for it'..but it is clearly indicated in the menu that it come with fries. So the fries arrived and they were very tiny, like rough and dry broken pieces, not very yummy. I overheard a client at another table complaining about the same issue. We did not take dessert because I was not feeling so well from all the richness overlead of the mac&cheese and were a bit 'bummed out' of the series of event.
I am attaching photos of the menu because it changes every once in a while so you'll be able to see the summer 2017 seafood choices and such, as well as a picture of the fries and my mac&cheese.
