This place was great! I loved the decor and ambience of the dining room: vintage feel with incandescent and candle low lighting.
I had a proper Pimm's cup to drink. It was delicious and I appreciated the soda off a tap not a gun.
For dinner, I had the mussels traditionally prepared with cider and bacon and a side of fries with aioli. It was delicious! The broth was seasoned perfectly with a hint of rosemary. My date had the braised beef and it was heavenly: fork tender, delicious, and perfectly paired with mash and veggies.
For dessert, we had the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect end to a perfect meal: great flavor, not overly "sticky." Went really great with after dinner cappuccino, also made perfectly: stiff foam with a sprinkling of cinnamon.
Service was phenomenal! We were encouraged to sit at a table despite wanting a bar seat and it turned out to be a better choice for dining. The waitress had great suggestions and was spot on. I really appreciated her honestly: we wanted to get chocolate fondant for dessert and she insisted on the sticky - we were not disappointed.
I'd suggest to anyone visiting Montreal!
