| - Went here for dinner on Feb 1, 2013 - I am going to write this while I still remember what I can...before I crash.
Just like the original in MTL - really happening, hope it stays that way.
Good location. The inside is ultra trendy.
The drinks were great - you're looking at $16 a cocktail, so about normal for a decent spot, and the only vodkas they carry are kettle one - grey goose - chopin I think.
The food was good not great. I mean don't order the pizza it is dry and I will chalk it up to a bad suggestion by the server, but DO try the fried eggplant with cheese.
Service was great, always someone coming by refilling, folding, replacing, there were like 3 tiers of teams.
At 12 AM, it turns into a "club" - people try too hard though, dancing on tables and seats, but the only time in regular club life you have to do that is when it is so crowded - there is no sense in dancing on tables when the whole venue is only 25% full - those are just my cynical views.
The crowd is trendy, good looking but I felt that, by no fault of the venue - a fair percentage of the crowd are older cougar-esque women who are looking for sugar daddy's. Other than that everyone is very service oriented.
I would go here again, with hopes the novelty does not wear off. It is a pre-spot. So , eat dinner, get drinks, and then go somewhere else if you are looking for dancing and craziness.
