Parking can sometimes be difficult in that area.

The service was very efficient all night long except for the drinks that had to be ordered at the bar in the room but were prepared downstairs and brought up maybe 2 at a time max. The food was very savory and the DJ was entertaining and funny. Great night overall!

Some items like the calamari gave the impression they had been stored in the freezer and then deep fried, as it lacked taste or seasoning.

My party drove for 3.5 hours to visit the beautiful city of Montreal for the F1 Grand Prix weekend. We arrived 15 minutes early, excited for a nice meal. However, we were informed that all reservations had been cancelled at 10am and the restaurant was full, so they could not seat us. Despite our request to speak to a manager or find a solution, we were refused. This lack of respect for their customers was inexcusable. It's not how a restaurant should be run. If all reservations were cancelled, they should have contacted their customers. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth, and I never even got to try their food. I do not recommend dining here.

The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice, casual Italian dining experience. Thank you!
