Wine is mostly Italian and French. Low end of the spectrum but interesting choices. The most expensive half bottle was the Chateau Y'Quem for $500. There was another Sauternes on the menu for much less. I was greeted , seated and served quickly and with a smile. All the plates were nice charcuterie type foods. The dessert was delicious. I ordered 5 plates and 2 glasses of wines and a %20 tip for $140. Please try them. Bon appetit

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.

Majestic is an exceptional eclectic restaurant in Burlington that's about a 5 minute walk from my…read morefamily's place. While some may come there for drinks, the food was outstanding, taking advantage of the outdoor seating when the weather permits. It's a nice setting with music that doesn't impinge of conversation with your dining partners. I'd recommend heading there for dinner if you're nearby. That being said... They don't have a phone, take reservations, or have a website for you to check out the menu... which does change. Under my family's guidance, we ordered a range of plates that we all share... like a tasting menu. In order, we started with the sensational Yellowfin Tuna with Roasted Tomato, Cherry Tomato and Salsa Macha; Panzanella Salad with Heirloom Tomato, Basil and Crouton; then flavorful "Big Dumb Salad" with Mixed Greens, Cucumber, Cashew and Green Goddess. These were followed by the Patatas Bravas with Zhoug and Aioli, then the finishing proteins: outstanding Roasted Halibut with Shishito Pepper, Habanada Pepper; and amazing Picanha with Salsa Verde, Sweet Corn, Romano Bean. Politely let the friendly staff know if you have any issue. They want to know and are incredibly responsive if there are any hics. Majestic is a wonderful place to have a meal!

So thought it would be a good choice for dinner. They don't have a website of phone by design so I had no information other then their name/location. Plot twist: their dinner service ended at 9 even though the hours were 5-10. So that in itself is a good reason to have a website OR a phone. We were dropped off to at the charming restaurant via Uber (so lost money there), walked up to very uncomfortable stares from the staff, and were then told we couldn't have dinner. Not the most pleasant experience. The silver lining was the recommendation to go to Hen of the Woods for dinner instead and THAT experience made up for everything
