An amazing St-Henri staple that we love to go when we want to celebrate something special. Friendly service and not pretentious at all. Best thing to do: get a few dishes to share so you taste as many as possible!
Because one of our friends was sick and couldn't come, we had one less person than the reservation. The waiter was very impatient with us. I asked clearly when I made the reservation whether it was my friend's birthday and whether we could bring a birthday cake, and they said ... yes. When we arrived, we were told that we needed to pay an additional 20$ per person for the birthday cake. There was no mention of an additional charge during the phone call. We waited an hour after ordering before we got our meal, and the steak was completely mushy. Emmmmm...I probably won't go back again. Read more
Great food, excellent service, small location. Oysters are a must. Can't pick which dish was the best - soooo good! Reservations required.
Outstanding restaurant with excellent servers. Excellent wine list and cocktails. Please try and come here if you're visiting Montreal or of course live in Montreal!
First, let's address the outside of the restaurant, looks a bit too sketchy for the price point, however as soon as we got through the doors, it's definitely well decorated. Second, the chef seat (seats facing the kitchen). It was really interesting to watch the cooks, however, the main focal point that ... we could see, he wasn't prepping our food, except the oysters, he was prepping for the shift (we arrived as they opened, 5pm). I was hoping to see more of our dishes garnished/prepped, since we went for the sampling menu. Third, the drinks, we can't comment as we don't drink alcohol and chose to just stick with water. Fourth, the food.you can tell the cooks are exquisitely skilled and masters at what they do. That being said, for 100+ per person, I must nitpick. The food was just slightly too salty. Some elements of some dishes I couldn't stomach because of the salt levels. For reference, I usually never drink water with my meals, I was chugging water between each course. The ingredients definitely are super fresh and of high quality. The sampling menu is 105$ per person. Portions were big and filling. The food is very good but not fantastic because it was too salty. Fifth, the service. The service is impeccable. The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help. Clean dishes after every service. Lots of water filling. Big smile. Exceptionally attentive. 10/10 The tldr, ambiance 10/10, ingredients 10/10, service 10/10, cook skills 10/10, how salty the dishes were 6/10. Seeing our dished being cooked 4/10 : only saw our oysters being shucked, would've been nice to have the chefs talk to us (not a single word was spoken by the chef). I believe your experience will be better than mine, the staff and chefs do seem to take the feedback very seriously. :) Read more
