| - Went here for a work dinner on a Wednesday night. It's located very close to the Bell Centre, and there was a hockey game that night, so it was quite busy. Also parking was difficult to find, so I valet parked my car there. Had I known it was going to be $25, I might have circled the block a few more times but oh well.
The decor is upscale rustic Italian, but seems a little dated and tired. Service was efficeint and professional but a little brusque.
There was an amuse bouche of a mediocre veal meatball. I had the stuffed portobellos as a starter, which were quite tasty but lacked in presentation somewhat. For the main course, I had the poached codfish, which was on the bland side and slightly overcooked, a real pet peeve that I have with fish. The bread basket was excellent, with several selections of delicious and fresh bread. We had a very nice bottle of Barolo with the meal as well. I skipped dessert but had a slighly watery latte to end the meal.
I wouldn't say that I had a bad meal here, but for the price point (over $50 before the wine) there are just so many better places to eat in Montreal.
