The food was excellent, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. With so many great restaurants to choose from, I wouldn’t recommend this one based on our experience. The hostess outside was lovely and welcoming, but things changed once we were brought inside. Although the restaurant was nearly empty and we had a reservation, we were initially seated at a small table in the center. When we politely asked to move, the second hostess looked visibly annoyed and said nothing as she relocated us. Our server didn’t leave a great impression either. We asked to start with oysters and without a word he grabbed our menus and walked off. We weren’t even done yet! When we asked for them back, we were only handed one and were rushed. Throughout the meal, he was mostly absent—no drink refills, no check-ins, and when we tried to order more, it felt like we were bothering him. One member of the support staff who did stop by was very kind, and honestly, if he had been our server, I imagine this would’ve been a very different review. For context, we ordered oysters, lobster, lobster pasta, desserts, and drinks—this wasn’t a light or inexpensive meal. When it came time to pay, the server simply dropped the bill on the table without a word and later did the same with the payment machine. The contrast between the food and the service was unfortunate. With so many amazing options in Montreal I wouldn’t waste my money here or recommend.

My recent lunch at Maggie Oakes in Old Montreal, prompted by high ratings, unfortunately fell short of expectations, leaving my wife and I with a rather negative impression. We opted for outdoor seating to enjoy the charming atmosphere, but our initial interaction with the waitress set an uncomfortable tone. She seemed a bit short and sharp. We considered leaving, but we were tired from walking and really wanted something to eat, so we chose to ignore the vibe we were getting and proceeded to order. As we awaited our meals, several other diners came into the restaurant. My wife and I looked at each other and noted the difference in the approach and conversation of the waitress with these other diners. We listened as she explained the entire menu, without prompting, to at least two other groups. This explanation was necessary since the menu is broken into sections and has specific meals depending on the size of your group. This made it much easier for the other diners to choose their meals. They were also English-speaking visitors. We were seated at a small table, understandable since space was limited. As the stereotypical "tourists," we left our hotel well-prepared, with water bottles to stay hydrated, hats to shield from the sun, and a camera in tow. The section wasn't very busy and had quite a few empty tables. There was no one sitting next to us, so we used a chair to place our bags and hats. With zero explanation or conversation, our waitress came back to our table and grabbed our stuff from the chairs and began stuffing them into corners of the chairs we were sitting in. We were aghast. My hat was crushed, and she attempted to place my wife's bag on the back of the chair. However, the back is smooth and has no hook for the bag to latch onto securely. We knew this because we initially tried that before attempting to place it on the other chair. She couldn't put the bag on the back of the chair so she placed it on the small, already crowded table. At this point, we started to feel frustrated but decided not to let the interaction affect our mood since we wanted to continue exploring the surrounding area and maintain our high spirits. I don't make this comment lightly, but I do feel my wife and I were treated differently after we saw the interactions with the other diners. Since there were other English-speaking diners, I can only assume the different treatment was based on something else. We are left to ponder... What was the reason for this difference in treatment and level of service? Non resident of Montreal? Skin tone? Both? Either way, we would not be dining there again. This experience has also taught me a valuable lesson, no matter the stage of the process, if I don't feel comfortable or welcomed I will leave.

We sat on the patio Wednesday evening for dinner. Server was polite but our service was quite slow. We shared a shrimp cocktail- 8/10- portion is 5 shrimp. Please do 4 or 6. We had the filet as well- 7/10. Ordered medium, it arrived medium rare to rare. It was tender and flavorful. Bread and cocktails were 8/10 as well

We had an amazing brunch experience at Maggie Oakes in Montreal! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The Smoked Salmon Bagel, which was good. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Such a delightful evening. Maddie Oakes is located right in the heart of Old Montreal. After reading reviews, my husband and I decided this would be a good spot and we were not disappointed. His salmon and my lobster pappardelle were both excellent perfectly seasoned and delicious. Service was perfect. Isabelle and Jamie were attentive, professional, and answered many questions with a smile. HP was also great - even being us a small bag of rolls to take home after we told him we loved them! We know good food and great service - after all we are from Charleston, SC! And this was it. Thank you for a wonderful meal

We went early Saturday morning and the place had such a peaceful ambiance. The staff are bilingual which made it extremely easy to order. We had some Maggie Mimosas which had a hint of grapefruit. I had the Sheriff’s Breakfast which comes with all the works and my partner tried their Salmon Eggs Benedict. Be mindful that the salmon does come raw. Everything was extremely tasty!

We stopped at Maggie Oakes for drinks and the ambiance, selection and service were excellent. The bartender was very friendly and engaging. The selection of drinks was very good and the mixology used to prepare them was outstanding. Very delicious drinks at reasonable prices. This is the bar/restaurant of a hotel so the ambiance is chic and it does cater to both locals and tourists. It's located right on Place Jacques Cartier, so it's easy to find.

UPDATE - once the food came it was "fine", the steak was flavorful and my burger was tasty although a little overcooked (i can't remember if server even asked me how i wanted it cooked?) the server was nice but clearly over his head and NOT APOLOGETIC AT ALL he acted like this a completely normal experience we were having which clearly it was not. i'm writing this review as i'm sitting at my table now for 1 hour and 45 minutes waiting for my dinner. we were just told my husbands steak was in the kitchen "resting". we are low maintenance/non complainers but have watched two other tables come after us and they ordered, ate and have paid while we are still sitting here... p.s. we ordered shrimp cocktail for appetizer and received popcorn shrimp instead.

Located in the Hotel William Gray, this place served up a delicious brunch! We almost didn't go here based on the low Yelp ratings but it was raining and we wanted a cozy meal without wandering too far. They have St Viatuer sesame bagels! Great alternative if you don't want to trek across town for the famous Montreal bagels. We also had the lobster and shrimp sandwiched on a brioche toasted bun. We enjoyed it so much that we returned later for drinks and a charcuterie board before our evening show.

Amid the stroll along Place Jacques Cartier lies this charming, spacious, well-appointed and luxe restaurant, with a grand interior and delectable options. Maggie Oakes is a ground floor space. (Its sister spaces are the Terrasse William Gray, and Perché, both situated upstairs for Old Port viewing.) Oakes has huge cuts of beef on display in its refrigerated units, and also has seafood and vegetarian options. The drinks list is excellent. We enjoyed our meals, bar drinks, and comfortable surroundings. Highly recommended.

We almost didn't go to Maggie Oakes due to the low Yelp rating but we had been traveling all day and it was close to our hotel, so we rolled the dice. We were very pleasantly surprised! I ordered the avocado toast and it was delicious. We went at 3pm, so there was only one other table of people the whole time we were there. Our server did an ok job up until we asked for our bill and he stopped by the other table and went back and forth through the restaurant several times before bringing it. Other than that, our lunch was good and we'd give it another try.

Had the burratta and sesame salmon. It was ok but I didn't feel there was a lot of variety on the menu. Not sad we went but I won't be back.

The food was pretty good and they asked me all the gluten free questions and even brought gluten free bread. However, the waitress claimed they could make the steak sauce gluten free and I believed her. Walking back from the restaurant I got SO sick. So maybe just avoid the steak sauce, even if they say it's gluten free. It was our anniversary and they gave us free dessert, and the Caesar salad was great. But man did I get sick from that steak sauce.

Disappointed by the Steak--Tourist Trap Vibes This was my first time writing a review, and unfortunately, it's because of how bad the experience was. My collegue and I ordered medium rare steaks at Maggie Oakes, and what arrived was tough, grey, and completely flavorless--like it had been cooked straight from frozen. When I raised the issue, the manager comped our wine, but didn't offer to remake the dish, which is unacceptable at this price point. Montreal is known for its amazing culinary scene, and this place in Old Port just didn't deliver. It feels like a spot geared toward one-time tourists--looks nice, takes your money, and doesn't care if you come back. To be fair, the outdoor terrace is attractive and the drinks were decent, but the food was a huge letdown. I expected far better from a restaurant that markets itself as upscale.

Absolutely phenomenal food and service. Our waiter was very tentative to us when we were dining. He asked for example oh did he give you the lemon water for when you're done with the lobster? And to top things off the food, the lobster and sirloin steak was absolutely amazing. The sirloin literally cut like butter and the lobster was delicious with the sweet potato fries

今天有点冷,所以外面的座位没有人座,但是进来以后很大,人很多;每个服务员都面带微笑,感觉很爱自己的工作; 点了一个Set,一道一道的上,都要吃不下了;咸咸的(类似葱油饼)的华夫饼还是第一次吃,但是上面的芝麻菜配着番茄莎莎、奶酪,新鲜而好吃,非常喜欢; 炸鱼薯条特地点来跟英国比比,确实好吃太多,配的小菜也很爽口; 甜点也比较扎实,一个吃还真是有点多了~肉桂的味道 点了鸡尾酒也很好喝~

Love this new found gem! If you're coming by car, I love the fact that it's free valet parking at the william Gray hotel before 3pm! Came here to try it out with a friend who swore by this place. You can enter this fine establishment either from the main enterance or in the back from the hotel. The ambiance was a little dark wish it was brighter I must say the mimosas really fired us up for brunch! Service: very good and friendly! We had someone always attend to us at all times but also gave us our space. Food: delicious fresh! I had something light for brunch a deconstructed caesar salad, my chicken was amazingly tender and citruisy , the romaine lettuce was fresh and crisp, I also went with another amaretto sour it was absolutely delish. Overall, defintely a wonderful spot and totally recommend it! Cheers

I had the avocado toast. This is dish I never order but after seeing it served I took a chance. I'll probably never order it elsewhere because I doubt it can be duplicated. Delish!!! We were so pleased with our orders and service that we returned. I splurged and had the filet mignon. The steak was served as requested medium rare and a good sized portion. The vegetables were abundant and fresh. Again, we had superior service. I highly recommend this location. Great food! Great service! A gem of a place. Great place to people watch as well. Thank you for a great experience.

Great location Good ambience We ordered the oysters and cheese plate Plate lacked a little variety of jams But the oysters were nice and fresh and probably the best we had on the trip I gave it a 4/5 because of the jams and the service I felt the cheese board in general could have been more thoughtful And the service could have been better.

WONDERFUL Brunch! My hubby & I had a wonderful & delicious brunch here on a Saturday in March. It is quite a large restaurant but still felt warm & intimate. We had a 2 course brunch and the selections to choose from were great. We each ordered something different so we can try a wide variety of dishes. Each dish was flavorful and tasty. We didn't order a dessert, but the waiter brought out a sweet chocolate dish with a sparkler on it and said "Happy Anniversary!". I noted we were celebrating our anniversary when I made the reservation and it was soooo kind that they took note and made such a lovely gesture.

Montreal is just amazing. It was a busy time and they got us seated immediately. Our server made great recommendations. My drink was refreshing and the views made it better. We sat outside but inside was lovely because it's of course associated with the a beautiful hotel. I ordered the tuna tartare, I enjoyed it but not the best I've had, didn't take away from my experience. Montreal is simply a great experience and this was definitely a part of it.

Upscale space that belongs to the hotel above it. I came here for drinks and appetizers in the evening. It's great for people watching. They have a pretty large space out front with a restaurant inside as well. I would say maybe 12 tables out front where I sat. The wait staff speaks both French and English and are knowledgeable and helpful. They gave us recommendations for what drinks we should try and I liked my gin cocktail my mom had the spicy margarita which was also delicious. We tried the cheese nougat (comes as a goat cheese slab) and the tuna tartare. Everything was very prettily presented with garnishes and they are generous with offering bread which tastes like it is fresh and comes warm. It was close to $100 CAD for these items. I would definitely come back

Oysters were amazing. It was nice to order steak by the ounce. Appetizers and sides were also delicious. The service was not the greatest as we waited for drink refills multiple times with long waits.

The service was impeccable. The food was OK comparison to the price range of what they ask for if you want a good looking place to bring a date to. It's a great spot but definitely not a four or five star for the food.. Over priced for what they offer .

On a hot, humid day in July, our party of four enjoyed a relaxing lunch here. The covered deck offered plenty of shade and a nice little breeze off the river. Our cheerful waiter gave us suggestions and accommodated our request to split an entree. Other staff members worked quietly and seamlessly to refill water glasses, clear dirty dishes, and provide clean forks. The excellent food matched the service. The soup of the day, lamb and vegetable, was light yet filling. The vegetable panini--mine with chicken added--was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, with perfectly toasted focaccia bread and a filling of thinly sliced, tender cooked vegetables like zucchini and eggplant. Yummy! The interior of this restaurant was casually elegant; it would make a lovely setting for a steak dinner.

There are a lot of steak places in old Montreal. Some are on the high end of pricing and this one is more in the middle. Pricing is reasonable and all plates come with side dishes at no extra cost. Wine selection is great and the ambiance is nice too. They take group reservations as well.

Visited here for a celebratory dinner for 6. When we arrived they said they were closing in an hour and. It would take a long time for any seating to become available. Ordered filet mignon medium well and it was dry. Whole lobster and it was chewy. Everyone else's enjoyed their food. I don't think the $400 spent here was worth it all.

The inside of this place is super nice and classy and then have a really nice bar The drinks here are really good, definitely a good place to get drinks. I got the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly the way I want " medium rare" Service is amazing, stuff is nice and friendly. This place is located in the William Gray Hotel It's a good place to go for small and big groups.

the waiter was no good and slow. food was good. i like to always tip a great percentage but i did not feel bad about not leaving one. it is attached to a cafe which is Superior though

Kitty K.

Food is just ok, portions are extremely small. I was in a group of people and we ordered a few apps to start with: tuna and salmon tartar both apps are super small and weren't enough even for one person. We also ordered Burata Salad, which was just ok. They did have a pretty decent wine list, and we enjoyed their selection of white wine. The location of the restaurant is nice and it is pretty clean inside and out. Great location for people watching. Service on other hand was very poor, I have been to Canada on several occasions and absolutely love Montreal, but this is the first place in Canada that left a bad taste in my mouth after visiting. After numerously correcting the pronunciation of the dishes, and just snobbish disrespectful remarks from a waitress my friends and I left with such a negative feeling. I hope the manager reads this review and corrects the behavior of the restaurant's employees. This place could be so much better.

Our lunch at Maggie Oaks enhanced our day at Old Montréal. Seated immediately at our choice of an outdoor table, waiter Antoine was very attentive, friendly & helpful with our selections. Delicious turkey & brie croissant, salad & a bottle of Beaujolais - wonderful. Followed by an awesome dessert so divine we each had our own. The patio seating faced the courtyard, sounds of music & watching by/passers. A beautiful day.

I wish I could give this place zero stars but unfortunately that's not possible. The food was below average and I almost fell down from the price of it for such a small portion. One thing I will say was the drink menu was very good. Now onto the service. The waitress incredibly unprofessional and should not be in customer service with her social skills. She kept correcting me when I tried order and was overall extremely disrespectful. The restaurant itself was decent and if this waitress wasn't such an ass I might've given this place a second chance.

We ordered the steak and eggs and grilled salmon fillet. The steak is delicious and the salmon is pretty good too. The wait was a little long but that is likely because the restaurant is slammed for lunch on Saturday.

Looking for a dining experience during our first visit to Montreal, our concierge recommended Maggie Oakes. She could not contact them by phone, but we decided to just go and see if we could get a table on a Monday night. The outdoor seating looked amazing, but they only had indoor available. We were seated in a roomy booth and our server was really good. He was knowledgeable about the different wines and made great recos regarding the menu. My hubby went with the 16 oz. aged ribeye with mashed potatoes. I ordered the cavatelli in a butter sauce with peas, prosciutto, pecorino, topped with a panko crumble. We split a caesar salad to start. Even the salad was delicious. Greens were fresh and bits of prosciutto added a nice crunch. The steak was cooked as ordered, portions were generous, and the glasses of wine that the server suggested went well with our meals. Overall,, a very good meal.

Beautiful ambiance and food presentation. Steaks were perfectly prepared. Service was friendly & timely although our only complaint was the bartender could not get our martinis correctly made so not sure if she was new or something got lost in translation. Afterwards we made our way upstairs for a nightcap & it was a beautiful view.

Wow just everything about this spot is a nice big wow. Large restaurant with multiple seating options both outdoors and indoors. They age their steaks in in their aging chamber for all to see, they also have a serious wine cellar. We got the oysters, the contre filet (NY Strip) and the cheese board and all were excellent. Our server was extremely nice and knowledgeable as well. All with a wonderful location on the vieux port with plenty more good spots around it. Check it out!

Camilo, the bartender, was the absolute best!! Came in for a birthday breakfast drink(: He gave me the best recommendations for food, neighborhoods, experiences, places to visit, (even wrote down a recommendation of a little village to visit on the river!) etc. All of the staff were so friendly and when I asked for a rec on where to get a croque madam, I kid you not, 5 of the staff were involved in the conversation and whipped out their phones to help me find a place! I didn't have the food, so can't comment on that, but the drinks were good and the service was phenomenal! He also helped me with my French accent, to much avail lol

Great ambience and knowledgeable staff. The menu is in English and French which is very helpful. I came around 2:00 for their lunch menu and it was pretty slow. My food came out pretty quick and the steak was the perfect temperature. My fries were unfortunately cold which seemed odd given that I was 1 of 3 people in the whole restaurant. The seasonal veggies were alright. The steak was truly the highlight of the meal. The peppercorn sauce was decent. Overall, not worth it but not regrettable.

Very slow service. Food was okay but I got my food last out of a group of 6. Everyone was disappointed in the service except my brother who really really really liked the waitress . My grandpa who has diabetes almost collapsed due to hunger--- food didn't come till after more than an hour. Other tables who were filled at a later date than ours were served first!

Went to dinner on a Sunday night at Maggie Oakes. We got a reservation easily and got a booth for 2 people which was really nice. The wait staff was kind and attentive. We ordered Pinot Noir, it was delicious, a great recommendation by the waitress. I had the flank steak with vegetables & mashed potatoes and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect medium rare. Highly recommend, will be going back! Thank you!

What a night ! We were treated like royalty! Red carpet treatment from start to finish. We got an amazing seat at the front of the restaurant where we had a great view of the bar and everyone ambiance and decor was swell. We were greeted quickly by the manager who brought the menus as well as their best waiter. The manager explained to us the menu and thanked me for coming back with a smile on his face. Drinks: We decided to start the night off with the old fashion and a dirty martini. Olives were great and the old fashion was nice not to sweet even tho it had honey in it. We got a bottle of red it was a little dry but went well with the rib steak. Food: I highly recommend the seafood platter it was one of the highlights of the evening. 6 delicious tasty oysters, large fresh shrimps cocktail sauce and half a lobster. The beet salad with goat cheese was fun and fresh. I love the platting of this dish and the beets of course. Rib steaks were cooked to perfection. Juicy and on point. I loved the potato gratin that was paired with it super rich. The desserts we tried were the apple caramel crumble and the chocolate orange mousse. I preferred the apple crumble but both were made with love. Our waiter chau was amazing polite and funny. I was happy he jumped in and recommended I take the rib eye steak because it was more delicious than the steak & frite. I never had to pour my own water or wine they came by checking during the night frequently. All in all the experience was fantastic from just about everything... location to the service to the food. This was definitely a night to remember looking forward to our next night back.

I visited Maggie Oakes on my last night in Montreal as it was staying in the hotel (Hotel William Gray) and I enjoyed it very much, so I was surprised that the read that the reviews are lower than expected. We made reservations for dinner and I tried the 3 course set menu (being offered in September) and ordered the Crispy Nordic Shrimp, Atlantic Lobster Pappardelle and Decadent au Chocolate. My partner ordered the Dry Aged Steak and although not budget friendly, it was his first time trying dry aged meat and he thoroughly enjoyed it and would order it again. My Shrimp and Papperdelle was beautifully flavoured and rich. The noodles were cooked to al dente and the sauce was creamy. It was a lot of food as far as a 3 course set goes, but i ate every last bite and had to roll out of there. The restaurant has great ambience and seems to be located in a very trendy and touristy area,there were long lineups during Friday and Saturday with great mix of all ages, but it felt authentic and well managed. It's not exactly budget friendly (more of a treat for most people), but I found it absolutely delicious and worth trying if you're looking for a nice place to eat with good food and company.

It's Christmas Day and as I look out of the window it's a ghost town.! The snow is lightly blowing and I'm estatic. Once we are in Old Montreal it comes to life with families and kids that are just enjoying. This is a beautiful restaurant. The Christmas menu was $90.00 pp. My choice was, Cream of Asparagus soup Watercress salad with a vinaigrette Braised lamb shank with parsnip purée with parsnip chips and greens. Chocolate vacherin ice cream with fruit and a warm checolate sauce. I have to say the service was excellent. The servers were consistently making sure we were happy. The food was extremely gratifying. Sitting with my cappuccino I took a moment to appreciate and thank the universe for a beautiful evening with great food and people. Merry Christmas to all.

Located in Montreal This restaurant has so many menus ranging from breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinners. We sat on their patio and the weather was gorgeous . From their brunch menu, we ordered their beef tartare, vegetable focaccia with chicken, and the Eggs Benedict. The beef tartare came in a large portion and with a side of fries. In the tartare was roasted shallots, xérès vinaigrette and Jerusalem artichoke chips. We enjoyed this dish, but didn't find anything special about it. The vegetable focaccia came with grilled vegetables, mozzarella, dried tomatoes, and basil pesto. We also added grilled chicken for an extra charge and it did not disappoint. This sandwich was very flavourful and packed which we loved. The eggs Benedict came with ham, Swiss cheese and Hollandaise sauce topped on an English muffin with sautéed potatoes on the side. We found the eggs Benedict a little bit disappointing as the flavour was very bland and the hollandaise sauce was overwhelming. 6/10

My experience here was above and beyond. So much so that next time I'm in Montreal I'll probably stay here with my partner ! It's such a contemporary space. The (FOH manager?) was so nice and spoke perfect English (though if he spoke French it would have been okay too as he was so hard working and accommodating). I really love how beautiful the place was, and everyone inside was buzzing with happy conversations. I really felt like I was in my own happy bubble with my friend. Pros: Walk in seating available during weekend brunch, Sweet and savoury breakfast options, super lovely staff - above and beyond! English and French speaking, best cappuccino from restaurant I've had in years! The price is fair for the large portion of food, my friend loved the sausage and bacon, I loved the fruit selection on the breakfast / brunch spread, I think it was wheelchair accessible - though if the door is not automatic I know the staff would gladly hold the door for you! The waiter was amazing, I forget her name (she was about 5ft 6-7 inches tall with a tattoo on her leg and beautiful short brown hair- I mention this so she can be recognized ) Cons: Only one sweet option on the menu - though the cinnamon brioche French toast was SO delicious, I wish there were pork alternatives (I can't eat sausage or bacon)
