Jatoba is a new restaurant (6 months old). I came here tonight for a work dinner thinking it would likely be decent but it proved to be much more than that. All of my dinner companions agreed that had we been staying in Montreal an additional night we'd all come back again tomorrow for dinner just to try more menu items. It was phenomenal!
We shared dumplings as appetizers - the shrimp were good, the crab/avocado, outstanding. I had the black cod as my main course choosing that based on yelp reviews/photos. It was a standout meal! The cod was perfectly cooked and broke apart in huge, perfectly uniform flakes. It sat on a delicious veg puree with onion, zucchini, and some other green vegetable. We had a lovely chablis with our meal and stuck with that all evening. Because the meal was excellent we shared a few desserts. I can't recall every one of them but they were all excellent. One was the green tea maki and it was like a sponge cake had been soaked in green tea and then rolled around fresh berries and served with a side of tart sorbet. Perfect ending to a meal! The service was good as well and the manager even came by to ask us if we were satisfied. The answer was a resounding "Yes". We sat inside but I noticed that they had a huge patio which I would opt for next time. I can't wait to come back!
