Not so.....we had only taken a few sips of our cocktails when the waiter came to open and pour our bottle of wine! So in the middle of sipping my cocktail ...I am now taste testing the wine....then immediately after that our salads came and then our dinners. We held back purposely ordering our dessert so we could get a chance to sit and relax. We were uncomfortable and felt that they were totally rushing us out of there. As well, we were seated on the ground floor where it was somewhat chaotic as they were accepting reservations off the street as well. They could not keep the outside doors closed properly and so it was drafty and quite chilly. As well, even though we had reservations and were there on time, we still had to line up outside in the freezing cold. Most disappointing overall though was that we were so rushed through our ....what we though was going to a nice celebatory evening.

I usually don't leave reviews, but the owner provided exceptional service while I dined with my three-year-old and six-month-old. It felt like we were visiting a friend's home. The lamb stew was outstanding! If I were staying in Montreal longer, I would definitely come back to this restaurant. The atmosphere was perfect.

The owner, a delightful woman from France, greeted us and wore many hats as she cooked, served, hosted, and entertained us. She recommended some excellent wine pairings to accompany our meal. The cheese plate was a fantastic starter and my tortellini in vodka sauce was simply amazing. The restaurant's inviting and cozy atmosphere, with its exposed brick walls and laid-back vibe, kept us there for hours as we enjoyed delicious food, wine, and coffee while engaging in conversation. After this pleasant surprise, I highly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting Montreal as it truly surpassed our expectations.
