I made a reservation 1 hour in advance, and while my options were limited to opening the restaurant at 6pm, I was pleased to have an incredible meal. Every bite was delicious!\n\nMy friend and I ordered cocktails, admiring the darkened atmosphere with chic crystal chandeliers. We shared appetizers and entrees and were totally full with amazing sea food. The menus are clearly seasonal, and I never doubted the quality of ingredients and care that would come out of the kitchen. To begin the home-made cocktail flavorings made the cocktails incredibly tasty, with full rich flavors along with that of the liquors themselves. I had an ox-eye (bourbon and ginger). We shared two appetizers, the spicy salmon tartar with shishito peppers was complemented by their garde-manger hot sauce placed on every table. Complementing salmon with fresh green pepper flavor as well as spice made the dish unique to me. We also had the panchetta, kimchi and cracklings, which was beautiful with the very swirly pork cracklings. The kimchi was a little lost under all the meat, but hey I can't complain about delicious pork products. Finally we shared the hake clam chowder. This was a beautifully fried piece of hake with incredibly juicy clams and a delicious dashi based chowder. \n\nThe service was excellent, we sort of had 2 waiters because of some large groups nearby, but felt very well attended too. The environment was so transformative that we barely noticed the length of our meal, and were enjoying ourselves immensely the entire duration. After telling our waiters that we were visiting Montreal and this was our first night out, our waiter gave us an extensive list of restaurants to try in Montreal. \n\nOverall it was an amazing experience with delicious food and a comfortable atmosphere."^^ .
