| - I was surprised to see the interior looking quite upscale and classy. The tables and chairs were matched really well with the wallpaper and lamps. The paintings, equipped with individual lighting, were the icing on this fantastic interior design. And the music was very appropriate. When I was there, it sounded kind of jazzy. If you take any delight at all in the finer things in life (ex. wine, art, classical music), you won't be disappointed with the way the restaurant has been set up inside. With that said, it's an ideal place for a romantic date. I saw a businessman in full suit walk in with a dressed-up lady, whom I presume were on a date.
Our server was very friendly. When we received a dish we didn't remember ordering, he brought us the paper menu on which we ticked off our choices to confirm that this was indeed our dish. I appreciated that he counted how much we ordered initially so that we weren't ordering more than we could handle (we were having all-you-can-eat). The sushi was similar to that offered in many small sushi businesses back in British Columbia (and everyone knows how it's much easier to find higher-quality sushi in BC). One roll particularly stood out for me. There were just as many tempura crumbs rolled up as the rice, and in the center was a piece of sashimi. Combined, it tasted creamy and chewy, and the sashimi gave my taste buds a "sweet punch". The price of the all-you-can-eat sushi here, about $30, is reasonable in Montreal.
There's a surprise waiting in the women's washroom. Depending on your cultural background and personality, this surprise may either be cool or bizarre. If you're a man, you can still see it because the men's washroom is right beside the women's and the door for the latter is usually kept wide open.
