| - While, probably not my favourite stop in Montreal. This place has many things going for it.
First and foremost, it has a very nice wine list, including a few of my favourites from my time in California. For this evening, a bottle of 09 Etude Pinot Noir was the weapon of choice. Second, seating, the vibe is wonderful, intimate, very cosy.
As yelp should lead one to believe, the tartar is certainly a welcome, and pleasant app. Cleansing and fresh, it was a lovely start of the evening. This paired with the bread offering I was certainly awaiting more. My companion and I both opted the chef's special. A seared Sea Bass, accompanied local veggies, friend calamari, and octopus ink. Balanced and delectable.
As for desert, an Apricot, Peach, and Cream concoction. Topped with cornflakes, drizzled with a light foam. This was certainly the best dish I had here. The contrast in texture and balanced sweetness was welcome and delightful.
The biggest detractor that prevent this from being a solid 4 star location? The price point. The curve is a bit steep for what it is, and it lacks that "Special Sauce" to put it into the realm of demanding it's price tag. However, given its proximity to my condo, I will undoubtedly revisit.
