| - This meal was great, from start to finish.
The restaurant itself is beautiful, dark and intimate, which would seem to make it an odd choice for the 11-person, bachelor party dinner we enjoyed there... but it worked. Our server was attentive, helpful with suggestions on food and drink, and even gave us suggestions on where to go after our meal. Bussers brought bread and water to the table right away, which was key since many of us had just arrived into town and had not eaten in hours.
Between the 11 of us, I think nearly every dish on the menu was ordered. However, a few of particular note:
- the braised piglet risotto was one of the richest, best-tasting dishes I have ever had. Another friend ordered it for his appetizer, as well, and we were still talking about this dish 2 days later.
- the ocean delivery, and particularly the foie gras, were outstanding.
I had the chance to sample a bit from a number of different dishes, and each one was great. I would come back to this restaurant in a second, and hopefully will my next time through Montreal.
