My husband and I were looking for a reasonably priced restaurant that was open late since we arrived in Montreal 2 hours later than we planned and we were starving! Since we were walking, we were limited to the neighborhood around our hotel. We found a place on Yelp but when we arrived at the address, it was not there. A very nice local who was working the door at a lounge helped us out by calling his friend for a dinner suggestion. The friend told us to go to Commerce, a half a block away. So we did.
This place was hopping for a Thursday night! Busy bar, loud music, pretty people. We asked for a table for dinner and they brought us to a 2 person table near the bar. Not the most ideal location since people were walking around us but we decided to deal with it. The waitress came up to us and we said hello and she immediately knew we were American. She suggested a cocktail for me and it was delicious! I wish I remembered her name because she was very nice!
The food was delicious! I ordered a lobster roll and it came with big chunks of lobster meat in a delicious roared French bread. My husband also enjoyed his burger and fries. The crowd got more rowdy as the night wore on and one man from the loud group at the bar came over to apologize for being loud. It was very endearing and we chatted with him for a minute.
Overall this place was great. A little loud for a dinner conversation but the music was enjoyable and we just wanted good food.
