| - Been there a couple of times since my last review, and everything seemed to elevate into a higher level.
It is, in my opinion, the most fairly priced steakhouse in Montreal. It is not overpriced like most of the "high-end" places, and people shouldn't be paying more than 40$ a dish for steak anyway, unless it's Wagyu.
The service varies a lot with every visit, sometimes the servers are very friendly and caring, they come often to check if anything was okay and fill my water regularly. Other times, they're just there to bring you food, and then disappear into oblivion until you ask for the bill.
I go there for the food, and as long as the service is not terrible, I'm okay with that. So far, the food quality has always been top-notch. I slobber every time thinking about their steak, the portion is generous, meat is cooked perrrrrrrrrfectly, and seasoned extremely well. Not only their steaks are well cooked (consistent medium rare throughout), but the cut of the meat is also excellent, no sinews or any unchewable part. Always ask your steak to be rubbed with steak spices and topped with sautéed garlic, foodgasm at its best.
The ribs are not your average BBQ sauce ribs, you can actually taste the bourbon in them, and they fall off the bone easily but the meat is moist and tender. The tiger shrimp was slightly overcooked in my opinion, almost rubber-ish.
As for the sides, go for the coleslaw and the skillet beans, they look appetizing and taste even better. Bits of bacon and ground beef go very well with the skillet beans, and the sweetness of the beans compliments any meat dish altogether.
The ambiance is splendid, the place is great for any sorts of gatherings or even romantic dinner.
It is, after all, just a steakhouse. Their speciality is not fine cuisine like one would expect at Joe Beef or Toqué, but they are indeed very good at what they do.
