This was a fantastic dinner. We were 4 adults and 1 child… and I was a bit nervous when I saw the white table clothes and fancy vibe - but the service was outstanding. They made our daughter an off-menu kids pasta, offered to bring it out with our apps so she was occupied, and brought her juice and dessert. All of our dinners were great - especially loved the ceviche, oysters that were so fresh, and the pasta special. Not inexpensive but 10/10 would recommend for both food and service.

Overpriced, entrees where good, drinks where good, main courses where not as good as other steak houses in Montreal. There are better places. Parking has no valet, other places do have valets.basically if you’re looking for a great main course this is not the place. The staff was very good.
