They have a menu with quite a bit of variety, premium offerings like wagyu burgers and octopus, as well as a host of delicious cocktails and wine options. My colleagues and I have enjoyed every meal we have, with every plate always cleared. The biggest thing that stands out for me is the consistency of staff; my visits have been a couple years apart and one of the lead staff is the same. There's clear pride here. Yes, if you're there during business lunch hour or immediately after work, it's busy, but they advise you in advance. They schedule seating and stay on top of it. Can you feel rushed? Yes, but that's a decision you make taking the reservations available and I think they handle it politely. Doesn't impact your experience.

I dined solo on a Saturday evening downtown. My table had a nice street view and also a view of the…read morebartenders and DJ. I started with a proper vodka martini and pear walnut salad. The presentation was dome like and you got to dive in to find all the ingredients and balsamic on the plate. I paired the calamari with a pinot noir rose. This calamari held its perfectly seasoned breading and there was a large portion of shrimp atop the squid. The aoli sauce was balanced tangy and lemon. Those two items were plenty portion for a solo diner and my server paced the meal very well. The ambiance is modern while the exterior made me think I was entering a more traditional scene. I really enjoyed this dinner in Montreal.

This was a cool spot in an old building just off of Sherbrooke. They have an after 9 special which…read moreis what I was most interested in (an appetizer and a main for $26). Came on a weekend night and luckily I made reservations as the place was quite backed. It was a very contemporary, bustling environment which pink lighting, marble tables, and comfortable seating. The servers were very kind and courteous and seated my party immediately. We all opted for the after 9 special, which gives you the most value for your meal since otherwise each main costs about $26-35. I decided on the soup of the day for my appetizer or entrees (en francais), and the salmon tartar with house fries as my main. Oh btw, the menu is in Italian and French for the after 9 special so bear that in mind if you're having trouble translating. The servers are happy to assist you thought with anything. Before the appetizers came out, they brought some lovely fresh focaccia with homemade goat cheese. It was absolutely delicious. The appetizers came out piping hot and quite fast. The mains however took a while, but the server gave us some additional bread to tie us over. I've heard seafood is well known here, and indeed it did not disappoint. The tartar was delicious and fresh. In all, a really great choice for dinner. I'll definitely be back soon!

I got a Roma sandwich. They portions are HUGE for the price and it's always so hard to finish the whole meal but worth the price you pay. Not an expensive place and you HAVE to get their fresh lemonade. Staff takes a lot of pride in their work and you can tell that everything is fresh and made with love. Overall food was a 10, service was a 10, and although it was a little hot in the establishment when we arrived the staff easily accommodated and closed any open doors to put on the a/c they have indoors. Ate here atleast 3 times while I was on my trip. Small shop but worth the wait to get a table. They also have outside seating if you prefer.

Spacious dining area with a section that shows off the fresh fish of the day-a smaller outdoor seating area.-only one table occupied given almost closing time. First, we quickly realized, for 3 of us, we ordered too much food. Started with the Fried Eggplant (Aubergine) and Tarama Salata. Both were tasty. The Tarama was milder and not as salty-every restaurant/city has their own version of my favorite dip. Greek Salad was just like in Athens-so much Feta, Olives and no lettuce -delicious. Grilled Squid was sliced thinly and perfectly seasoned! Oh we also had to try the Mexican Jumbo Shrimp-jumbo they were and tasty. At this point, we should've stopped but we had to try an entree. We ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bream (for 2) which was just right for 3 of us given our endless appetizers. The table side carving and plating of the fish was a nice touch. Fresh Bream was delicious. Of course we had leftovers. Service was very attentive and engaged matching the level of this spot. Extra thanks to the team for accommodating us at the late hour. Members of the staff thanked us as we were leaving-how often does that happen?! Don't miss this neighborhood Gem that will transport you to Athens.
