A top location, a great concept and a nice decor, but if you're like me in that you consider that food and service generally trump everything else, by all means stay away. The tartares are not awful, but they lack oomph and pale in comparison to what's offered in many of Montreal's finest bistros. Ours were served with mediocre lettuce that wasn't accompanied by any dressing. But what got me to write this review is the utterly abysmal service we experienced. Simply put, our waitress did everything wrong. Not only was she generally slow and very unresponsive, she handled two incidents in the worst possible way. The first involved drinks we ordered after she drew our attention go the list of 5$, 50% off cocktails. They arrived more than 10 minutes later, and to this day I still wonder whether there was any alcohol in them... I raised this point after she asked how my cocktail was, and--you will *not* believe this--she responded by saying "well, don't forget that this is Happy Hour and that these drinks were only 5$!". No, she was not joking... Second incident, much worst: I found a 6-inch long dark hair in my duck tartare. After pulling it out and showing it to her, she responded--and, here as well, I *swear* that I am not making any of this up...--by saying "oh, but you know that our chef has very short red hair!". Can someone please explain to me the relevance of that comment?? I will never go back to that place.
