This place was jam packed!!!! The 15 minute wait to get seated made me wonder if anyone in Montreal ever cooks! It was tight and noisy, but some friends from Montreal recommended it, so we thought we'd try it out.
The Zatar mixed appetizer was a delicious start to our meal. I was grateful that we purchased the Petit hummus, which was the right size for two people to share. My roast lamb dish was fine, but not super spectacular and my wife really enjoyed her beef skewers. Service was a tad slow due to the high volume of customers, but they got to us enough (I just might have ordered another drink if they had come by some more). The cocktails are quite nice - we enjoyed our Manhattan and Old Fashioned.
All in all, I'm glad I tried it; not sure I'll be back (at least not during the dinner rush!). It's definitely a place where the locals go, so maybe I'll have to try something different next time.
