Restaurant in the lobby of our hotel (Le Westin).
Appearance and ambiance quite nice.
I'm not even gonna hate on them over the harsh prices - I've stayed in many 4/5 star hotels and I always know to expect upwards of $10 per drink.
However, I did not care for several things.
First thing being the girl behind the bar. Why they hired this woman who barely speaks and understands English is beyond me. When we did not address her in French even after she assumed we were French (big mistake for hotel industry, since the majority of guests are going to be out-of-towners), she was quite cold and indifferent to us the rest of the time we spent there. Clearly did not want to be forced to speak English to us lowly peons, and really didn't answer any of our questions more than what she had to. Minus 1 star.
I guess the other big issue was, they stopped serving us at 11:30 claiming they were going to do an early last call because it wasn't too busy (Still about 10 people in the place though!). Fine. We believed it, until the rowdy group of guys at the bar started chatting her up asking where to go drinking now that she was closing, and she said to come to her local pub where she was going as soon as she shuts down. Ahhh, now it all makes sense. She wants us out of there so she can go enjoy her night herself, rather than staying open until a reasonable hour on a Saturday night. Last call in Montreal is 3AM, and you're closing at 11:30 PM? Give me a break. Minus 1 star
