Beautiful atmosphere, very good music and EXCELLENT food, but the food took a long time while the restaurant was fast; about 30-40 minutes for the plates. Just that, the rest was good

I went there on New Year's Eve. I understand it's a busy evening, especially for a restaurant in the Old Port, but...
1. We reserved a table for 8:30 p.m., we got our place at 9 p.m.
2. The staff was not courteous (with the exception of one person), they gave us all the impression that we were bothering them: my partner got up to ask a question and the two people didn't look up, she had to apologize for disturbing them. The waitress brought us the wrong dish and when we told her it seemed like the end of the world to go back and get what we had actually ordered.
3. There was no room left because everything was reserved, but instead of putting some sort of sign in the door, they just shouted down the line that everything was reserved. The information did not reach the end of the line and the delay meant that the door remained open for a good part of the meal, which made the room cold.
4. The food was not great: soggy fried squid, pasta that tasted like water...
Brief. It wasn't the best experience.

Holy crap the food is NOT worth price or calories. Ceaser salad was giving East Side Mario’s and pizza was Delissio from the frozen section. Pasta sauce was incredibly watery and bland, wasn’t even offered cracked pepper (the pastas were close to $30 each). Our server was sweet and reassuring when the drinks took long, they also killed the dirty martini and spicy margarita so that’s the reason I didn’t give 1 star. Pleeeeease save yourself and pick a different spot.

Ordinary food, ordinary service and gouging prices. Ski resort atmosphere. Noisy.

It's good, the portions are generous, the prices seem fair to me given the location and the service is excellent.

I went there Saturday evening for a birthday. Disappointing. $25 for a spaghetti Bolognese that wasn't plentiful with a more than ordinary meat sauce that I can make better at home, $18 for an extra bit of burrata that wasn't big.
And above all, horrible service. An hour and a half to be served pasta and pizza which were also very far from arriving all at the same time.
I won't go back there again.

The atmosphere was wonderful. A warm fall night in Montreal sitting on a patio having dinner was a dream. The service was pretty great too. Both waiters were pretty attentive to our needs. However, for my daughter and I, the food was poor. I ordered the spinach ricotta ravioli. The first few bites were delectable, however, I noted that the next few raviolis tasted like fish, which I don't like. I asked the waiter about this. He said they do have lobster ravioli too. I guess they mixed them up in my dish? It's a good thing my husband who has a fish allergy wasn't with us. The next ravioli that I tried was so hard that I couldn't get my fork through it. I am guessing it was not cooked? There were about 2 or 3 of these on the plate too. The waiter offered us free coffee and dessert, but we declined. I was comped my dish. However, when we walked away, my daughter said her pasta was not cooked well either. Hopefully this was just a 1, 2 off, and not a regular occurrence at this restaurant.

Really too expensive for the quality. The dishes seemed industrial to me, especially the tomato sauce and alfredo sauce, at $30 a pasta dish, you need fresh pasta, real ingredients. And above all we put salt/pepper/parmesan on the table. We only pay for the location, too bad.

Ordered steak frites, served me 2 days old looking overcooked piece of meat. Looked like pork, food was below mediocre. Pasta were microwaved.
Nice dinner here in Old Montreal on a week night. Pretty quiet for a Friday but likely offseason compared to summer. Nice pasta, and great Tiramisu for dessert. Patio is dog friendly for those that are interested. Nice restaurant overall.
Visited this place with a couple of friends and their 2-year-old son who were visiting from Australia, it was one of the few options open for lunch around 3pm so we gave it a try and it did not disappoint. It was a nice summer weather outside so we stayed at the patio. Service and staff were good. Food was good and portions were very well served.

Very very ordinary, Fried squid; dry and tasteless served with red sauce, spicy mayo not available. My seafood pasta with a taste of sauce for $2 bought at IGA, no I won't go back there.
