Came here for their "Taste Montreal" table d'hote. The maitre d' was very friendly and accommodating because I had to change my reservation from 3 people to 2 people, and in the middle, the third person showed up so we had to change tables. All this was done without any hassle and the waiters/maitre d' were very friendly about it. Downstairs is very quiet and the upper floor was more lively, with quality live jazz. I personally had the brie puff pastry (which was good, but perhaps a bit too sweet as an appetizer) and the Mediterranean seabass (which was good, but not great). Others ordered the mesclun goat cheese salad (which was really amazing!) and the braised lamb millefeuille (which was ok, but the portion was quite generous!). For desert, we all had a tiramisu, and it was excellent. They also have an extensive wine list.
All in all, Modavie is a great place for great service and ambiance/decor. But as for the food, I've certainly had better.
