| - This was the worst experience I've had as a bar in Montreal. The bouncer/host talked down to us from the moment we walked in, but I tried to look past it. When we came in he told us there was standing room only, which was fine. It's a small space so it was pretty awkward, and we were waiting for a table to open up. The booths are big, public benches, and a nice couple who was sitting on the end of one got our attention and offered to move over so we could sit down, which we did. The same host came over shortly after and snapped "You can't just come in here and shove people over." I was shocked, having worked in a lot of restaurants, about being spoken to this way for absolutely no reason. We left right away, and as I was leaving I told him that I found what he said to be disrespectfully. He belligerently refused to acknowledge it, yelling things like "How is that rude? Things like that happen 20 times a day. You're welcome to leave if you don't like it, it's not rude." OK. Maybe this is just how they talk to people here, but I would recommend they hire someone who's not a sociopath to interact with customers. Definitely not going back.
