Went with the girls on a Thursday night as part of MTL à Table $31 menu.
The ambiance - very chic with great music (seriously great late 90s and early 00s!) and a young professional crowd gathered around the bar.
The food was good overall - the $31 menu consisted of:
1. Shared appetizer including
- crudities with dip
- pork buns: delicious! I would have eaten about a dozen of them
- popcorn and shrimp: very good and creative, the shrimp was battered with just a hint of coconut taste and the popcorn was deliciously seasoned
2. Choice of main: I had the ribs, more like braised beef but good
3. Shared dessert: Giant chocolate chip cookie and lemon cake which were both delicious
The only flaw was the service; it wasn't bad but it was very disorganized and disjointed. A man came by to take our drink order and was followed by a waitress who had no idea who took our order...we got 2 of each of the shared courses for a group of 3, which were different set down haphazardly across the table (as opposed to a nice larger platter?) and had to ask the bartender to send our waitress over at the end of the night to settle our bill (she was nowhere in sight!)
