This place is now called "RIDI", but it's basically the same place, with cheaper prices a different menu and mostly the same staff and atmosphere. It's more affordable and less exclusive than Bronte, but they still have maintained a pretty high level of food quality and service.
The menu is Italian-inspired, with lots of pastas and Mediterranean-style dishes. The lobster bisque was excellent and the beef was well-cooked. The gnocchi was really nothing special.
There are some great Italian restaurants on Sherbrooke and in Montreal in general, so I don't know if RIDI is going to be able to compete without taking a different angle. Everything is solid, and it's convinient if you're staying in the Le Meridien Hotel, they also have a good wine selection and good cocktails from the bar.
