It's been over a year that i have been here but the sour note it left me with is still lingering.
I brought my husband there for his birthday after reading all the great reviews.we were seated at the bar and were introduced to our waitress of the night.thats when everything went downhill.the waitress was tina an,the front of house/co-owner.having dined at high end and casual restaurants in montreal over the years i have never witnessed such a pretentious service.it began with snickering while correcting my wine choice pronunciation.she then presented the menu and said we needed to choose from the ingredient list on the blackboard hung on the wall.we told her we were unable to read clearly from our seats and asked if she could go over the list with us.she bluntly refused and told us to walk over to the board and read it ourselves.we should've left right there but we decided to go ahead and order the 75$ 7 course tasting menu with chef's choice of ingredients and hope that the food would make up for the bad start.when making the reservations i had specified for 1 meat-free option (with seafood ok).our unfriendly waitress said it would not be a problem.We were served similar plates,my husband would be served a meat protein with a side of vegetables and my plate would have only the side of vegetables.After receiving 4 plates like this i inquired with the waitress of this issue and instead of addressing our concerns she sent over the busboy who then had the chef make the changes.the waitress never once made a wine pairing suggestion,described our plates,asked us if we enjoyed the food or even made eye contact.she continued to ignore us and payed special attention to other customers instead.she made us feel like we were a nuisance to her and not worth her time.we even wondered if it was because we were asian (like her) and she favored caucasian customers instead.at the end of the night the sweet busboy asked us if we enjoyed our experience,we mentionner sadly if it wasn't for the bad service from our waitress it would have been a good night.he then sent over chef pablo who was apologetic and served us complimentary shots.if only it wasn't too late.300$ bill for a pretentious and horrible service.so please if you decide to go to provisions,ask not to be served by tina an or she may ruin your night.
