I used to live in Montreal, and instead of going back to one of my favorite breakfast joints in town like Chez Cora or trying out a new (to me) and well reviewed place like Restaurant l'avenue --I was lazy and starving so just hit up the restaurant in my hotel.
I had the omelet with wild mushrooms and white truffle oil (came with potatoes, fruit, and toast) and a macchiato. $22 after tax.
I debated between giving this place one or two stars. But the service and food was so far from what you would expect that even though nothing was inedible and the macchiato was good, I would not recommend it to anyone.
Between the mushrooms and truffle oil, the omelet should have been oozing with an umami flavor. Instead it was incredibly bland and only with some salt, pepper, and tabasco could I even eat it. The fruit, potatoes, and toast were similarly mediocre.
Service? Had to wait a few minutes to even talk to a host in an empty restaurant to see the menu. Dear all restaurants in the world, please post your menus at the entrance. It took forever to get a water refill, and when I asked for a jam aside from the 2 orange marmalades on the table, my server brought 2 jams from an adjoining table (those single size jars), and one of them was used. Which is why you don't take single serving condiments from one table to bring to another. To top it off there were only 2 other tables eating in the restaurant so there was no excuse for the poor service.
Best investment this place could make is a time machine near the exit so you could send yourself back in time 30 minutes and go eat somewhere else.
