    Food and cocktails were great! It was a little loud and the music (house/dance music) was an odd choice for a finer dining restaurant but honestly didn’t take away from the a good girls dinner and the food. I would 100% go back for the artichoke chops and the truffle brussel sprouts alone. The sea bass and the branzino were both amazing pieces of fish, and the steaks were cooked perfectly.

    From the perspective of a Montrealer spoiled by good food at reasonable prices, a lot of midmarket restaurants in the US are not worth it. This one is. Food and service were very good, and beverage prices are reasonable.
