  • After reading the reviews I decided to try this restaurant with my parents. The decor is absolutely lovely and made a great impression on everyone. We thought we were being forgotten when, right after opening the wine, their waiters hovered around us like crazy to bring butter, bread and appetizers (great thought). In the evening, a pianist will fill the room with a jazzy mood as they dim the lights really low... My paté de foie was delicate as can be and my father loved having an avocado smothered in shrimps. I had the lamb shanks and my mother ordered the duck. Hers was so crisp yet tender, while mine was, well, enormous. I had an ENTIRE lamb shank. With vegetables. And pasta. I still finished it, it was definitely worth it. Our desserts were raspberry sorbet with a hint of alcohol (that's what I'm talking about). Now, you may be wondering, if the diner's so great why only three stars. Ah. Well, I guess it's my fault: I should've gone for the lamb rack and escargot, like everybody else said. But, first off, my parents are francophone, and the staff clearly isn't. Not "Communication Breakdown" yet, but, you know, in a restaurant that prides itself on fine French cuisine, in Montreal... Now we are a really old-fashioned bunch, so my father was a bit mind-boggled when the waitress preferred toying with the wine bottle's cork rather than hand it to him. Speaking of wine, they only have 2 half-bottles available. My parents, being their conservative-euro selves like to hear about their meal as much as eating it, you know the subtle flavors, the accompaniments and all...But even I raised a brow when the waiter answered to "How do you serve your rabbit?" with "With sauce and vegetables.". I'll give it to you, I'm no rocket scientist, but I can read a menu. And I'm glad to see that so can their waiters. It was a bit heart wrenching, us coming from a French background, to have the waiter recommend Apéritif wines by brand rather than by flavor.. But my heart really skipped a beat when we realized that we were not given a dessert choice along with the Table d'hôte, which I've never seen done (in a 3 course meal that is). As a matter of fact, we didn't even have a choice of tea.. You know, little details that add up...
