We would have been better off getting cheap airplane food than wasting money on this place!
Walking through the Montreal Airport, there really weren't many options to choose from. The Houston Ave Bar & Grill externally looks like it would be an awesome place to have dinner and a beer before a flight. Our experience told us otherwise.
As we walked in, there was nobody to greet us so we assumed it was seat yourself as many airport restaurants are. When my wife and I grabbed a table in the bar, we were then told we were not allowed to sit there, and had to go wait to be seated. The lady then walked us back up to the front and told us to choose whichever table we wanted (a little confusing). She did not give us any menu's. It was about 5 minutes later that our waitress finally arrived and asked if we had gotten menus, which clearly we hadn't. She was quite slow with the initial greeting, VERY slow to bring our bill, and the food was very mediocre to say the least. If we were in any type of a hurry, there was a good chance we would have missed our flight due to the lack of speed of service.
