| - Mi cugino and I went to Montreal for his Spring Break. It was our international gastronomic adventure. This place had very many high reviews, but I think it was actually the low point on the food tour that we took. As we walked in, some man at the front asked how many, but seemed irritated that there were two of us. "We can't seat two at a time like this," he told his coworker. Um...ok. I guess when you're this popular you don't have to care if a guest feels welcomed. He advised we wait outside in the glassed in area, which we did four about 5 minutes. When we did get seated, it was at the bar which was reminiscent of the diners you see in movies about New York.
The servers were nice, kept making sure we were taken care of and that our beverages weren't empty. Since we were right by the waitress station, I had the privilege to hear the waitress talk about the drop dead gorgeous customer with a POS attitude.
The food was average. I wouldn't call it bad, but it really had nothing to draw me back. I got the special which is a bagel with schmear and lox, heavy on the cream cheese, light on the salmon. The side of hashbrowns were nice and crispy and man, they kept slinging those suckers out! I was kind of turned off when the cook checked his phone and then went back to work. I know this happens, but when you see it, it makes it real!
