Honestly one of the best food experiences that I've had in a while. Every dish was prepared with attention to the main ingredient and tasted phenomenal. I will be going back soon.

Food and service was excellent! The oysters were highly recommended as an appetizer- the ones made with maple and jalapeño and miso gratin were the best! Grilled octopus was also delicious! For entrees, we had halibut (fish of the day), salmon and the black linguine-portions were just right and was some of the best seafood I had. Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back when in Montreal again.
