So, despite the reviews, I decided it would still be worth a look around and since I've never been to the top of Place Ville Marie, I'd at least appreciate the novelty and the view. I found the place quite decent without lineups for the Saturday brunch time. The food was average and my eggs Benedict tasted like they had been sitting there all morning just waiting for me to show up, that or the A/C seriously cooled it down before it made it to my table. The earthy Benedict was rather tasty (as there was bacon in it!) and in general I'd say the food presentation is decent as well. How was the service? Nice and slow... So you better get a good window seat to enjoy the view while waiting. I would say that it's better to go to the resto and get food and a complimentary view than just to go to the observation deck alone so I would say it's definitely worth a visit.
