| - Went here as part of their re-opening (after fire damage), and had a fantastic meal.
I didn't see the place before, but the new look is good. It's fancy enough you could bring someone here to impress them, while still being a good spot for a bunch of friends to come, talk, and have a good time. There's a separate area at the back which would be good for bigger groups.
We had a special set menu (for the re-opening), and all of it was very, very good. I don't know where these guys are getting their fish, but it's the best I've had in Montreal. We had a lot of small taster dishes, and it was tough to decide on which I liked best: the soba noodles, the seared salmon, the butterfish, etc. They were all good interpretation of traditional Japanese dishes - not too far out to be something else, but different enough to make them interesting.
I was going to give the place a solid 4 stars, but then the final sushi plate came out, and it went to 5! It was the best sushi I've had in Montreal - seriously, I would come here over Park any day. It was all spot-on. The eel they served was the best eel I've best eel I've ever had, and I've lived in Japan in the midsummer (when there is a special day just for eating eel!).
