Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chuck Hughes

From the OpenTable editors: It’s always a scene at this small but lively restaurant in Old Montreal from Iron Chef America winner Chuck Hughes. A massive, ornate chandelier frames an all-out meal where you can order a seafood tower, lobster agnolotti, and hangar steak in onion sauce, all served in a cozy, old stone building. Or let the chef decide and pick from four to seven courses for a memorable night out.

It's a very nice restaurant in the old port of Montreal. The staff was awesome and made us feel very welcomed. Can't say enough about how lovely they were. We opted for the four-course menu. We were a little disappointed that they didn't offer a wine pairing option. While the waiter made some suggestions on the wine the first wine was great the second was just okay. The fish here was delicious. The fresh seafood starter was wonderful and the salmon was perfection. The trout was good but not necessarily a standout. The salad they served us along with a carrot side dish was exceptional! Yes, exceptional! The Dessert course was a miss in my book. We were served something that tasted like a cinnamon roll with a scoop of ice cream and the "cinnamon roll" thing tasted as it had been reheated in the microwave thus burning the sugar within the dessert. The other dessert was a Profiterole that was filled with gooey, gloppy stuff that had very little flavor. I would recommend the restaurant with others just for the staff alone.

We enjoyed our dinner to the fullest. It was a little hard to find since the restaurant does not have a sign which is an intentional decision apparently. However, we liked this speakeasy vibe with no big crowd trying to get in waiting for the last minute cancellation.

Food left a lot to be desired. Heavy and rich, which is not always best at a seafood restaurant. Not the best value for money. There are better options in the area.
