| - Location: In the Old Port on St. Paul Ouest, right across from Dolcetto. Subway: Place d'Armes. If you drive in - good luck finding parking.
Service: Pretty darn good! Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the host and offered a mandatory, but free coat check (that's a rarity). There was no fuss in getting a table on the bar side of this small resto-bar. I had barely sat down when the bartender appeared before me ready to take my order (again, a rarity!). Since my date was occupied, I asked the friendly bartender turned waiter, to come back since I didn't know what said date wanted to drink. A waitress took his place a few minutes later and wasted no time in taking our order. That said, she wasn't overly friendly and I felt a little attitude. Meh. That said, throughout the evening, wait staff frequently checked in on us, and the manager stopped by to say hello. I was rather impressed with all of this attention!
Decor/People/Vibe: Pretty cool. Lots of red, dim lighting and a waterfall wall at the back. The vibe was good, though it's a pretty young crowd. For those of you who have issues with hipsters, there seemed to be a hipster convention when I was there so be warned! It was very loud, so not the ideal place if you're looking to have a conversation or go on a first date. There's a DJ from Thursday to Saturday, and I really liked his set - mainly electronic.
I didn't eat there so can't comment on the food other than to say that what I saw pass by didn't look too impressive. I'll have to try it out and update my review at a later date.
