Knowing that Montreal is infamous for jazz, we couldn't come here and not take in a jazz club. We went here for dinner last night and we were very pleased. The house jazz band played their set from 8pm -9pm before taking a brief break and opening up for a jam session with other musicians at 9:30 pm. I enjoyed a French martini and my boyfriend had his typical Macallan. While in Canada we were surprised to learn that Macallan is changing their classifications from years to color. Long story short he had the Macallan Gold and enjoyed it.
For our meals, it was rather eclectic. I had a taste for Mexican so I had a small salad and the nachos pollo, and he, of course a more sophisticated palate than mine, had the Pulpo a La Parrilla (marinated and grilled octopus) for an appetizer and for his entree, he feasted on the Zarzuela (tiger shrimp in a cream sauce with fresh julienned vegetables and wild rice). Of course I tried it and everything was delicious.
There was only two servers who also served as the bar tenders throughout the night, Howard and Issa (I know I probably butchered the spelling of her name), and they worked their tales off. It was a small club, but the house was packed. They did a great job keeping everyone happy! No complaints here.
