| - Back in July, I was Montreal for a pre-conference, before the National conference in March. A group (8?) of us wandered in for dinner and our expectations were beyond met! The server was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. Bevo has a very "trendy" vibe, so we were afraid it would be pretentious, but were happily mistaken!
In fact, we had such a great time, my local chapter decided to host our national social there. I will say we had a few issues: I felt the space we were given was small, and it was right at the bar, so it was high-traffic with the servers for the whole restaurant coming through; it was also right at the door, so I felt I was always on top of the maitre'd. Food was amazing as expected, but drink service was on the slow side, even with 2 dedicated servers. Food service was good--we had a variety of items, and they were very good about putting out a few trays and replacing them with new items through the evening rather than bringing everything out all at once.
It's also popular; both times I've been here (evening), there have been plenty of patrons, but I only felt crushed during the social. i don't recommend Bevo for a night drinking beer in a t-shirt and jeans watching hockey, but I do recommend it for dinner and drinks with friends, before or as your night out.
