I ordered the bloody pincette and I saw it at the bar ready for 10 or 15 mins so by the time I got it, it was so watered down. The oyster that came with it was good but I was nervous bc it was just sitting up at the bar for a bit not on ice. The fried shrimp it came with was like jerky, over cooked is an understatement. The lobster cake was filler and potato and the remoulade was odd. The crab and lobster poutine was such a disappointment. We went out of our way to try this place and it was so upsetting. The lobster was rubbery but the seasoning was good but couldn't make it better. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone

We were a table of 4 that ordered 4 appetizers and 4 entrees, and specifically told the waiter that we were sharing everything. They proceeded to bring all appetizers out at once, followed by all entrees together. Therefore, things got cold and weren't as good as they could have been. Disappointing for such a highly priced place! My experience going later in the night with only 2 people was way better. Regardless, food was great. The tomato dish is always amazing and the scallops were to die for! Great atmosphere as always, I love the music they play in this restaurant.

The service at first was a bit slow, but that was understandable given how busy the restaurant was. Our server, Yan, was incredibly personable. He had excellent suggestions for dinner. We each started with cocktails, and enjoyed the ambiance. There was a live band, but we were in a different room. It wasn't loud like you would expect. 5/5 service. Beef Tartare: 5/5. This was an excellent start. The appetizer sizing was a little small for two people. If you want a little more, I'd recommend the entree size. It comes with fries. But it was delicious. The crostini's that came with it were a little overpowering, but the tartare itself was delicious. Duck Confit: 5/5. This duck was INCREDIBLE. Perfectly cooked, crispy skin, tender and juicy flavor. An incredible sauce. Delicious veggies and potatoes. The only thing I did not like about this dish was how quickly we ate it! Dessert (not pictured): 5/5. We had a chocolate pyramid with hazelnuts and chocolate mousse. Delicious. Be sure to put Modavie on your Montreal dining list!

I do recommend making a reservation on open table prior to coming. Here is what I think of the food: Seasoning is generally saltier but not too overly. Escargot or the snails is yummy. It comes with the option of cheese on top. Dressed heavy with olive oil and garlic. They remove the shell so it makes it approachable if you were nervous about trying. Cheese & Charcuterie board is as what you imagined. It can't go wrong. Rack of Lamb was good. I do recommend highly. It comes with our 4-5 bones worth of protein with potatoes & veggies. Lost track of how many bones because it was eaten so fast. Duck confit was average. Let me explain, duck was average but the amount of spinach I gotten and how potatoes on the plate was good. Sides out shine the protein here. Side of Foie Gras was perfect because I was worried about having too much food. It did come on a small plate because it's a side dish and it was fatty and salty. Intermission was the best cocktail of the night. Fruity with a star anise on top so you smell it while drinking it because it was so close to your nose. Jazz District was okay. Overall, I do think this restaurant site fairly between 4&5 stars. Do try it. I would come back for special occasions and it's not an every night meal.

The food was excellent, well prepared, and beautifully plated. For a steakhouse they had some nice lighter options, seafood and veggies included. They have an extensive drink menu and some unusual specialty cocktails. While we were there late on a Thursday night, and the restaurant didn't seem crowded, the service was somewhat slow. We had multiple waiters coming in and out and sometimes it was hard to find someone to order a drink. Ultimately, this is a nice, more upscale restaurant perfect for a business meal or special occasion. Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4/5

I ordered 2 course meal with Caesar salad and Orzo. Both were excellent! Caesar salad was fresh and delicious, the orzo with asparagus puree, walnuts, and apricot was very creamy, well balanced and flavorful. I loved this dish. My husband's flank steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare and very tender. Service was good but I watched our beer sitting on the bar for a while... needed to remind our server we ordered a beer (and it has been sitting there staring at us the whole time).... I think it may have been our writers first day? Not a biggie but I was done with my appetizer by the time beer came.

Service was phenomenal and our waiter checked in frequently with us. The food was absolutely immaculate. My favorite starter was the salmon crudo. For the main, two people carried out a mouth dropping spread of tiger shrimp, scallops, grilled octopus, lobster, lamb chops and a tomahawk. More than enough food for the 6 and everything was cooked perfectly- octopus wasn't chewy and the meats were super flavorful and tender. They were very accommodating to dietary restrictions as well. They had a DJ and lively atmosphere after dinner so we stayed and got bottle service. Fun spot with great food is always a winner in my eyes. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Montreal!

Then our appetizer (oysters) arrived but our wine did not. After we watched the adjoining table who arrived after us received their drinks and entrees (but no silverware), I waved down first a busboy and then the maître d', we finally received our warm Sauvignon Blanc that I can only imagine had been sitting at the bar for quite some time. After we finished our wine and our entrees had still not arrived, we asked for the check explaining that we didn't care to wait any longer but instead, after another wait, they brought us our meal. The food was overcooked and barely warm - likely from the extended time under a headlamp and the salad was okay but nothing you couldn't get anywhere else. Given, Place Jacques-Cartier is a tourist spot but this was some of the worst service I have ever experienced at this price point.

The steak was slightly over cooked and grisly, but I could have overlooked that if they had any seasoning.

Neither of us were starving but I always order oysters when on the menu. As soon as the bar tender brought the tray I noticed the shells were dry . The type of oyster was not deep belly but none the less don't lose all the wonderful juice when shucking! The first oyster I tasted also had a significant piece of shell.When the bartender came round for more wine I explained I was not interested in the rest of the oysters.

We were fortunate enough to have Alex as our server, and he truly elevated the entire experience. He was knowledgeable, personable, and did an excellent job walking us through the menu and offering recommendations and specials. After hearing his suggestions, I decided on the Snow Crab Cluster paired with a Sirloin, baked potato, and a side of whisky peppercorn sauce. It was a fantastic choice. The steak was cooked perfectly to my liking, the crab was fresh and flavorful, and the whisky peppercorn sauce tied the steak together beautifully. The drinks were equally impressive, and the wine pours were generous enough that I definitely felt I was getting good value. What stood out most, however, was the service. Alex was attentive throughout the meal, ensuring everything arrived correctly and that our glasses never sat empty. Between the excellent food, delicious drinks, and outstanding hospitality, I couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the evening reconnecting with my friends. The Keg delivered on every level, and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in Montreal. Thank you!

We ordered the Paloma mocktail which was extra tasty. Starters were the brioche bread that was baked with a crispy top and the herb butter paired very nice. We also got the asparagus and scallops. I was thinking it would be the whole scallop, but it was cut into little pieces and put on top of the asparagus. For the entrees we got the filet and another steak I can't remember the name?? The filet was cooked to absolute perfection, crispy on the inside and so tender and soft on the inside. We got one of each of the sauces as well as the sides. The butter sauce was my favorite. The asparagus came with such an earthy sauce it was a flavor bomb in your mouth. Service is great, only thing is the server forgot about my Diet Coke for 15 minutes but no worries on that.
