Totally can't believe I never wrote my review for this place. No matter, it was such a memorable experience that it still feels like it was just this past summer, not already over a year and a half ago!
Food itself is a mediocre 3 stars especially given the price, but the view n the service bumps this to 4 stars for me, for sure!
We came for an anniversary dinner June 24 2018. They sat us near a window despite being so last minute on a holiday (our anniversary is good ol St Jeanny B day so it's a pain in the butt finding places that are open). We had a spectacular view and we even got to see fireworks going off in all parts of the city and south shore it was fabulous!
We both ordered the same thing because there was all of about 10 options (I may be lowballing it, but only slightly) and things like ribs (covered in sauce) didn't seem like a very smart, nor appropriate, choice for an anniversary dinner. So we both went with the Caesar salad entrée with their steak n fries plate. The Caesar 'cuz we had heard it was not to be missed here, those reviews and all the people who say that are absolutely right! Do get this! 4.5 stars for the caesar. So much so, that me n my bf both decided our next meals here will just be the meal size caesar with added grilled chicken instead of bothering with anything else.
The steak unfortunately was more tra la la ingredients with a very meh outcome. Herb crusted butter sounded fancy and looked appealingly sinful but didnt really do much for the flavour. The cooking was as requested, it even had a nice crispy slight char outer edge, which I love, but the flavour was just .. ' yah alright '. I make a MEAN steak at home w just simple Montreal Steak Spice (bien sur!) and cheap a$$ cuts of steak! So, if ur guna veer off Mtl traditional, with a better cut of beef on top of it, well then u better bring a better A-game than that, guys. It seemed like a small cut for the price but we were so bored and tired of chewing by the end it was more than sufficient portion. The fries were fine, nothing you can't find in a million places in Mtl.
I honestly can't remember if we partook in dessert, but I do know our red wine was spot on. Service was sweet and it was a beautiful romantic dinner that I would repeat again, though just stick with the salad.
Stick with the salad? I can't believe I just said that..
