  • On my first night in Montreal, I was much later than the rest of my party due to a long wait at the border. As such, they had eaten already and I had not. The concierge at my hotel that suggested that we try this place that was right around the corner to please all. His comment, "you won't be disappointed." He was right. For a purportedly famous place, this wasn't half bad. It's billed as a jazz and dinner club with live jazz music every night it's open. First off, the place was small which gave it an intimate feel. It was full but but not crowded and we didn't have to wait for a seat (of course we was there on a late evening on Thursday too). Being the only one in my party who was eating, we sat at the bar which didn't have great views of the stage. This didn't bother me because I don't go to SEE jazz, I go to HEAR jazz and the club has great acoustics. The tables (with few exceptions) have good stage views. Table space is at a premium, BTW. The jazz was a blues-jazz type improv group and was great. Regardless of whether you eat or not, it's a $5 cover charge for shows. As for the food, the menu was mostly salads and barbeque chicken and pork ribs. Now I am a vegetarian, but when the wait staff says their best dish is the chicken and pork ribs combo, by golly, I'll have the chicken and pork ribs combo. And for someone who hasn't eaten meat in the last 15 years, it wasn't a bad way to fall off the wagon. The pork was falling off the bone, the chicken was succulent and the portions were enough for two people. The ribs are barbeque'd Memphis-style with a brown sugar and tomato based glaze and the chicken is grilled with the a less sweet barbeque sauce on the side. The club's decor is funky and seedy: they have crystal chandeliers and old brass instruments on the wall with endless paintings. The dress code: Montreal nice (chic dresses or skirts for the ladies, button down shirts and slacks for the men; no sneakers). The prices were downside: the entree was $25-30/plate, add on a drink ($7), the $5 cover charge and tax, and the bill was a hair over $45...for one person. Not what I normally would have spent on one meal during a casual night out. Would I eat there again? No. Why? I'm just not that into meat. Would I go again for the show? Absolutely; even on the off nights, the jazz is white hot.
