Although the food is still very good at Au Petit Extra, I found the service in my latest visit to be less than welcoming and not up to their usual standard. When my friends asked for English help with the menu the server was rather crass and unfriendly. He accused me of "not paying attention" as he went through and explained each item. I told him I spoke enough French to understand the menu and he suggested I should have walked my friends through all the items! Okay, fine, but my French may not be "that" good.
When the food came out it was basically "dropped" without any followup at all from the waiter on whether we enjoyed the food or if we wanted anything else. He only asked about the food when it came time for the check. It was a very slow night with only about 20-25 diners.
Not the best, not the worst, but with so much competition in Montreal, I may not be back.
