    Fujisan Sashimi Salad
    Andy B.

    I received a recommendation from one of my friends to come here as she loved the ambiance. Her instagram stories looked quite promising so I was looking forward to the place. Upon arrival, one waitress rushed to the entrance and bumed into another customer. No apologies were given and the family did not appear too pleased. What a wonderful start! In times of COVID I understand that places would limit you to a maximum of 2 hours service. I was aware of this upon booking. And upon confirmation of reservation, sitting down (for each and every guest), halfway through the meal and about 15 minutes before the end, which I will get back to. It was quite a cloudy and rainy day so not much natural light came in to the dining area so the place was quite dark: some electronic candles lit up the place greatly when it was 7 PM, but that did not last for long with the gloomy skies. I started with the Salad which was a delectable start to the evening: a fine balance of vinaigrette and delicious veggies. The sashimi was okay and the cut was kind of lack luster fresh-out-of-the supermarket packaging style. Overall, it was good. The tartare was to die for. They both had their strengths and it was hard to say which one is better. We also ordered a side of fries (not pictured) and the truffle mayo that came with it was amazing. The oysters were good: we liked them. It's hard to fail oysters. The maki rolls were a bit disappointing as they lacked some harmony and it just felt like a bite of a corner street poke bowl. We gave them a second chance and went for the Sumo Roll and the Sublime (we ate them too fast!). A notch higher than our poke bowl bites, but that's about it: severely overpriced in my opinion. We went for another salad because the taste of the first one left us begging for more. As we begun to dig into our salad this is where the stars started dropping off: We were first prompted by a young lady that it has been 2 hours and we should hurry up and leave. We politely told the staff that we should be finishing any time now and give us a bit of time. Afterwards, shortly after, a second employee, quite the authoritative figure he was, approached us from the back and basically told us to pack it up and leave in midst of our conversation. We felt like we had commited a crime against humanity: he was very intimidating. After a little bit of argumentation from both side, we had no choice but to leave as they urgently needed the table for 8 (we occupied half the table). Funny thing is that the other half of the table appeared to be in no rush and was told nicely about the policy, which they kindly brushed it aside as they took their time to enjoy their drinks. They sat down at around the same time as us. We got out of the restaurant after paying for our bill totalling up to 300$ and stood a few minutes to discuss abiut our frustration with some travellers from Toronto who were excited for a Fish Bone experience. We were quite frank and honest: we suggested some place else as the food was overpriced and mediocre at best, and with a service applicable to retail closing times. After conversing for about 25 minutes with this young couple, one of our friends noted that the table next to us was still seated and appeared to be in no rush to leave. All in all, I believe that a place like this attempts to keep itself afloat in the cutthroat environment of the old port by having a good reputation online via their marketing tactics which instead should be invested in proper service. I guess they really don't care about customers returning as they are basically being carried by tourists who superficially heard of Fish Bone. Needless to say, I won't be stepping foot here for a second time as I believe I can get as good food for, not only a fraction of the price, but rather a quasi-reasonable level of service and decency. Oh yes, also, one of our friends came late and said that his friends were already seated, but the staff was very dismissive simply because he forgot the name of who the reservation was under. I'll spare the snotty and rude remarks from this review, but I guess this was a hint to a terrible night of tragedies.

    Bad 2 da Bone @fishbonemtl is the new badass upscale seafood supper-club in old-port. Jacky was feeling it in the nautical interior with the club vibe & the DJ makin' it pop. Service was impeccable! There is a sea of waiters. They also have coat check & valet but parking is a nono. Jacky had the tiger shrimp, spicy tuna crispy rice, salmon tartar, the rockn rolls, burrata salad, grilled octopus , blue cod with green string beans, filet mignon, asparagus, sautéed mushrooms, fries & drinks of course. The portions are relatively small but the food was well above the supper-club standard. Jacky got seasick when he saw the bill. Worth a shot if the tide is high. Follow @JackyEatsMtl

    This review is a bit tough to rate. I would give 4 stars for the food, but 3 or less for service…read moreand the restaurant feels a bit rundown. We were in Montreal for several days and decided to go casual on our anniversary and we were craving Mexican food. We made a reservation as the place is crazy busy. We arrived, had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. The hostess looked up our reservation and seated us without saying anything to us. We took our seats and looked at drinks before looking at the menu. Our server took awhile to come to our table, took our drink order and an appetizer order and left. The drinks finally came out along with the chips and guacamole and we decided to make our decision on dinner. We waited, and waited, and waited about 40 minutes for our server to come back to take our dinner order. She was fairly nice, but rushed. Again, we waited and waited and waited for our dinners. We were enjoyed the food, it was flavorful, seasoned well, and really filled our craving for Mexican food. After we finished our dinner, again we waited, waited, and waited for our server to come back to our table. She never checked on us as to how we were enjoying our food. She brought the check, we paid, stood to leave and she said thank you as my husband handed the check back to her. He quickly mentioned it was our anniversary, she stopped and asked if we would want to sit back down and she would bring us a dessert. It was nice to offer, but she could have learned this if she would have taken a moment to talk to us. We didn't need a long conversation, just to feel welcome, and we felt in the way as they were busy. We thanked her, but we didn't want to spend an hour waiting for a dessert, so we graciously declined and left. It really is a shame. If the service was better, and the food came out quickly, they could turn tables quicker. I don't know if they are short staffed, but it really was disappointing.

    We stopped in for a light lunch and margaritas while exploring Old Montreal and were really glad we…read morechose Escondite. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, and the bartender took great care of us. The drinks were excellent, and the service made it even better. Perfect little break in the middle of the day.
