    Delightful experience, pleased with the live music. The onion soup was delicious and really enjoyed the lamb pasta dish. The bartender was friendly and explained the different cocktail options and specials. Would highly recommend stopping in if ever passing through Montreal, certainly has a full local following!

    I was very disappointed in the food. The potatoes and sauce on my chicken was cold. The chicken itself was juicy and perfectly cooked. My husband found his lamb chops satisfactory tho I thought they were cold as well. The music was good, though very loud.

    My girlfriend and I were looking for a great meal, great ambiance and great service. Not easy to find 2 of the three and we found all of them. What a great vibe. The music was fantastic, the food was delicious and cooked/ seasoned exactly as they were meant to be. Scallops and Rack of Lamb were 10 out of 10's. Now let's talk about the service. We sat at the bar (we recommend the bar seats). Sean and Nico were nothing short of incredible. Never once had to look for them or wait for them. One of them was always right there with what we needed. Their recommendations were also spot on! We can't wait to come back again soon.

    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!
