The menu is inspired and the food is delicious. The staff are knowledgeable, warm and very friendly. We were a group from out of town and were made to feel very much at home.

Double date night with friends, I never heard of this place before. They seem to have their share of regulars at the bar, but the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed so we felt at home. It's a small space, so I recommend booking in advance. The menu is unapologetically meat based, with a bit of seafood. We had the onion soup and the rib steak. The soup was classic French but with a few twists, like avocado, which actually worked well, although the chucks could have been cut a bit smaller. The steak was great, cooked to perfection and I loved the cheesey potatoes, which was a bold choice of side considering the steak had a fine amount of fat and topped with delicious compound butter. It was rich but oh so good, and the portions were generous. The desserts sounded good but we were stuffed. I also really enjoyed the sauces available, not that my steak needed it. It's those sauces that make people think that this is a Tex Mex joint, but it's not. Just because there's Sriracha on the table doesn't make it a Thai restaurant 😜. The Kansas City style sweet sauce and the green vinegar based sauce were my favorites, but all 4 were solid. Another thing worth mentioning was the wine list. Lots of private imports, from tried and true wine regions to more funky offerings. Good selection by the glass - including dessert wines - and cocktails, too. The waistaff was cool, I liked that they knew their menu well, and helped out as a group to pick out our wine. Prices are aligned with what a good night out costs these days, but I think there's good value here, and I would definitely recommend this place, unless you're vegetarian 😛

Great food, service, and atmosphere. The dishes were all so flavorful. Had a fun night with a group of 6. Small, intimate, and lively spot that feels welcoming and relaxed. Would definitely go back!

Wanted to love this place but fell way short. Staff is very nice. Restaurant du coin kind of vibe. I can see why some people may love it.
Service was good. Everyone is nice and helpful.
My wife and i shared the ceasar salad. It was good. Expensive but good. Made fresh in front of us.
My wife took a steak (onglet de boeuf) and i took the entrecote which was supposedly a top 4% grass fed cut from a local farm. Everything was drenched in the strangest butter sauce. You couldnt even taste the meat. I rarely send food back but was not able to stomach it. I dont mind butter on my steak but this was a strange fusion of butter and i dont know what...onions or chives. Anyway in my opinion steak should just be grilled and served. Sauce should be on the sode. It camouflaged the meat and couldnt taste anything but the sauce which i couldnt handle.
My wife had the onglet de boeuf which was quite good. No sauce over it but it laid on a bed of vegetables that were cooked with 5 lbs of butter. Again we dont mind butter but this was exaggerated.
I sent back my steak explaining i couldnt stomach the sauce. I know its not their fault but i was expexting at least a dessert or coffee on the house. They charged me everything. A little disappointing considering its not a cheap place.
Suffice to say that i will never be going back there. I wouldnt recommend the place but i also wouldnt tell someone not to go of they asked my opinion because the place has potential and they know how to cook, but it needs a little finesse.

Great little gem. Cesar salad is spectacular, specially their homemade croutons. Had the steak. Probably one of the best place to have a steak in mtl at the moment. Very intimate and cozy. Small menu but everything i tried there is always on point. You cant go wrong with this place. A must if you never been. Highly recommend. You will not regret it. Special mention for their Chianti (its a private import). Give it a try, you will thank me later!
Excellent service and the best Cesar salad in Montreal!

Possibly one of the best cesar salads, steak/fries, cocktails and chocolate cakes that I've had in a long time. Staff and patrons created a welcome, cozy atmosphere on a crisp, cold 🍂 night. I will defintely return.

A small place that makes a big impression. The chef visiting your table makes you feel at home, but the cuisine is way above home-style. Carefully chosen produce imaginatively ( but not fussily) prepared. Memorable

Great experience and food here. I had the best salad, Cesar salad and surf and turf. The Caesar salad was gigantic! Everything was delicious.
We sat at the bar and the Chef was super friendly. So was the staff. I would highly recommend. I would definitely go back next time I am in Montreal.
