We’ve always been to the Montreal location, and Toronto is just as excellent ! Service was slow, had to call our server over when we were ready to order. When we asked for the bill, he brought it over, and then did a million other things while we had our card out and was ready to leave. He then sat down at the table behind us, brought bills to two other girls, billed them out and was pulling his phone out. We were annoyed at the end, but the food was amazing.
