The paté/terrine (pork and maybe duck or rabbit?) would have been perfect, with big chunks of pork and nicely done, had it not been for the salt content. WAY too much salt. Had it been served with plain fresh bread, it would have been less noticeable. The bread is $12 ! I'm sure the butter that comes with it is great but I did not order it. I might have, at $6. The beet salad was good, not exceptional. The wine pours are very short. We were disappointed.

When you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly hostess and the vibe is awesome for a date night or evening with friends Wine selections- love them. It's enough that you have choices without being overwhelmed. I opted for the Sangiovese and I'm currently trying to figure out who sells it where I live since we're just visiting Burlington! They also have a cava from a vineyard that I walked by in Spain a few summers ago so they're selling the good stuff. We ordered the bread and butter which I originally felt was elevated pricing but we felt the butter made it worth it. Meatballs were good but not my favorite of all time. Loved the pasta dish. It's truly homemade and as a pasta maker myself, you can tell that a lot of effort goes into it. Service was wonderful with attentive people who are happy to share their favorites with you. We would definitely come back for either dinner or some small bites and wine!

Not much of a dancing place if you're looking for that, but a great place to come grab a drink to start your night. I loved how they used metal shot glasses: super sustainable!

FOOD -OCTOPUS ANTICUCHO (4.5/5): succulent soft pieces of octopus and all the Japanese seasoning complimented it deliciously -CRAB CAUSA (3.5/5): couldn't really taste the crab until we got to the center. But overall still really tasty with the yam and interesting textures. DRINKS Got the Pisco sour (light citrusy sweet & frothy) and the Rosita (only get this if you like hard liquor that kinda burns lol). I had to chase it with the Pisco sour which was a pretty good combo actually haha! Overall, loved the vibes of this bar and the Peruvian-Japanese fusion eats!

Nice sunny day to sit out and enjoy some seafood and sangria. I was sat quick, I beat the Friday…read morelunch rush by a little bit. I ordered quickly. Calamari for an app. A lobster roll for my meal and a drink. The sangria came quick and was good, a little syrupy. The calamari and lobster roll took a while, but maybe they are a bit more relaxed in Canada. No one was available, even for me to waive down, no check ins either. Again, probably customary in Montreal, I don't know the culture that well. The calamari was pretty looking, but it was tough as a well done leather glove. The "lobster roll" had about two pieces of lobster, the rest was small shrimp. The flavor was good, the bun was perfect. But still, for the price, a disappointment. The French fries were delicious but soggy. Maybe that was a spin on Poutine.??? I sat for an hour without being able to get someone. I will not return.

Open kitchen with two chefs and two front of the house staff who were warmly welcomed me and were professional throughout. Had the oysters, clean and crisp with a nice Spanish Cava. Tried the lobster croquetas and the anchovy toast points. Tapas were in point, the anchovies were a tad too salty for me. Ended up ordering the catch of the day, butterflied sea bream. It was the piece de resistance. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the cheek/head was juicy all the way to the tail. The sides were fine, the papas bravas could have been crispier, but fine. Green beans were nicely seasoned. Had half and waved the white flag. Paired it with a tasty Albariño. Great start to quick sojourn in Montreal.

We were personally welcomed at our table by a man (who we assume was the owner or manager) and it was five star experience up until we left. We had a great server named Julie (attentive and friendly). To eat we had the maple chicken sandwich with barbecue fries and tempura shrimp with Parmesan fries. My mother really enjoyed her shrimp and my sandwich was incredible!! The Parmesan fries were finger licking good. My mom really enjoyed the craft beer she got as well. On this day there was a live performer (singing and playing the guitar) we had such a good time. On our second day here I ate the same burger but had the Parmesan fries instead (I like them way better than the barbecue ones) and my mother opted for a chicken pesto wrap. On Saturday we got to enjoy our meal outside by the water and the weather was perfect, we left happy customers again. I feel like the prices were reasonable. I can't wait to visit again!!

Radicchio salad was tasty. Interesting cocktails. Had the banana dessert, which was good but needed more banana flavors. Had an unusual ice cream as topping with some crunchy nuts I think. All dishes are for sharing. All tasted good but portions are a little small. Figure 75 per person with one cocktail. I'd go back for a special occasion, when I don't want to stuff myself.

However, We sat above the kitchen so the smoke came up when they grilled something, which was often, n my hair n my clothes all ended up smelling like smoke. They need a better ventilation system. Service was a little abrupt, I felt the guy was a little rude. He kept reaching over us to clean the plates instead of going around. I'm paying good money, I expect a little courtesy. it wasn't even busy. there were have these small glass of water n I had to keep asking for refills. Just leave a bottle of water in the table like other restaurants! The ladies were very friendly n asked if I wanted sparklers for my birthday, when she sat us down, I said yes, of course. But since we didn't order desert, I got nothing. Boo. Food was good, service ok hence the 4 stars
