Our server was friendly and the rest of the wait staff cleared our table frequently, and brought out the food quickly. The flow of the meal was timed nicely. \n\nFood & Service 5/5:\nI loved the warm bread they served here, this and a touch of butter made this awesome. For apps we ordered the tuna, escargot, and calamari. I really enjoyed the tuna and the escargot. Tuna was flavoured nicely and cooked perfectly with a light sear. The cheese on the snails was amazing and had that great gooy texture of melted cheese. This paired really nicely with the warm bread. The calamari was ok, I've had better at other restaurants. I think that the batter was ok, but the calarmi itself a bit underdone. Ironically enough we didn't end up getting steak here. Instead I opted for the lamb shank. This was cooked perfectly until it was almost falling off the bone. The meat was tender and flavourful. It didn't have the strong lamb taste - that you can sometimes get when ordering lamb. The rosemary sauce on the lamb was delicious. I enjoyed the green beans, which were crunchy and give the dish a nice textural element. I also enjoyed the fries, which are the thin type and they weren't too oily and had nice crunch. My boyfriend ordered the lobster with scallops and asparagus. Everything was cooked perfectly. There was this amazing lobster sauce that accompanied his dish that was creamy and had a really nice subtle lobster taste to it. After all of this we decided that there was enough room to get dessert. We ordered the molten lava cake with vanilla ice-cream. This was baked perfectly with the soft centre in the middle. \n\nFor the entire meal with apps, main, dessert with tax and tip it came up to about $100. This is a great place to bring that special someone, or to celebrate an event. For wine lovers, you can bring your own wine and they don't charge a corkage fee.\n\nDecor: 4/5\nThe restaurant is fairly big and the dark wood, white table clothes, and black chalk board signs, give the place a clean yet elegant feel. It's a great spot for both a romantic dinner or if you want to celebrate something special.\n\nI'll be back again the next time I'm in Montreal."^^ . . "5"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ .
