"Great spot! We came here on a Thursday night. It was pleasantly busy.
The menu is written on a chalkboard. We decided to share the plates.
Everything was delicious and original.
We ordered six oysters. I could have had twelve to myself. Both the oysters and the toppings were amazing.
We enjoyed the vegetarian eggplant dish and the crevettes de Matane as appetizers.
For the mains we had the mushroom raviolis (vegetarian) and the scallops. Out of this world.
They make their own bread and they serve it an amazing salted butter.
They even have each of us a loaf of bread to take home.
The spicy margarita was the best we have ever tasted. We taste them everywhere we go. The photo is of the Aperol Spritz which was very good.
For dessert we had their version of doughnuts with a delicious dipping sauce. Highly recommended.
The Waitress was exceptional. Unfortunately I did not catch her name.
Good value for the price.
Easy street parking.
Nice terrace."

"Food was very good with the Montreal à table menu. Every dish was original, savors well balanced, portions generous. We were disappointed with the wine-by-the-glass list, which contained no wine from USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. Mostly french, which we don't like. In 2023, most restaurants have expanded their wine choices beyond France... Waitress didn't accomodate us (in a top class restaurant, they would have). But otherwise, good food for the price (83$ 5-course menu)"
