    Overall is very good, just feeling sorry that the space seems too small for live music, this makes it too loud for people to be able to talk among them.

    I went with my fiancé for her birthday. Everything was great. The live music was fantastic. Blues that night by Jeffrey Simson band. Great vibe. Birthday dessert was on the house, a surprise to us. We had Foie Gras Poêlé for entree, lamb racks and fish of the day for main dishes. Food was great too. But I may be too picky at food to give 5 stars. I would expect a top-notch sauce for the lamb rack to give the perfect point. But I would definitely go back!

    Family of four (2 adults, 2 tweens) had dinner on a Monday night. I was impressed by how busy the restaurant was. Great atmosphere, with cozy tables. We were a bit disheveled from traveling all day and my husband couldn't find parking so was running late, but our waiter was super flexible and great with the kids. He joked with them and brought my daughter more bread after seeing how excited by bread she was. The food was great and we enjoyed the live entertainment during the meal. It was a great end of a trip (and didn't involved pizza for dinner!)

    Food could have been served hotter. Service was outstanding! One glitch with rack of lamb… partially raw. Kitchen served two lamb chops to rectify and they were perfect.

    Always a great experience at Modavie! Another exceptional brunch. I’ll be dreaming about the foie gras and Eggs Benedict with lamb until I get a chance to return. Great Jazz music played while dining on a Sunday. Service is very attentive but not intrusive. Frequently dine here when in Montreal and always a great experience!

    The service was great! Their appetizers were great but their main courses were below average. Would recommend sticking to appetizers.
