Perhaps it was because it was a Monday night. Perhaps the owner was off that night. Whatever the reason, our group of four were very disappointed in our experience. The staff tried to make up for the long wait between our appetizers and the mains but apologies don't help once you've lost patience and appetites. The food was acceptable though not outstanding. Three of us ordered seafood linguini; two arrived piping hot and a third was too cold to eat. And we all know that when you send something back once you've waited too long to get it in the first place, the evening is now a bust. To their credit they did remove the charge for the returned linguini and coffees were on the house. However, with so many good Italian restaurants in Montreal, it's not likely we'll return. Please note, that on our last visit which was not on a Monday, I had absolutely no complaints. The owner was on the premises and made a special effort to assure our dining experience was perfect.
