Cool looking place, dark ambiance and overall good food. To start, we had the beef tar tar and French onion soup- both awesome. The steak we had porterhouse and shared it. The flavours were great, I will say it was a tad overcooked but we enjoyed it. The sommelier was very helpful and the wine was delicious. Service could have been a touch better for what we paid. They did throw in a free desert because it was our anniversary which was very nice, really appreciated that.

Fantastic, attentive service with deliciously prepared dishes. The oysters of the day was whatever was available and fresh for the day. The Beluga Lentil salad was light and refreshing. The French Onion soup was tasty and delicious - the portion was huge. The Porterhouse was grilled to a juicy perfection and came with vegetables and we opted for the truffle mash which was heavenly. An overall lovely dinner experience and highly recommended.

We sat outside on the patio overlooking the square. Great atmosphere. They specialize in agreed steaks and ask if it's came out perfect. Food came out fast and the service was amazing. Again, like most restaurant here, we were never bothered to pay the check. We could talk and relax as long as we wanted to unlike in the States.

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

i just wanted to take a moment to review this phenomenal restaurant/waitress that made me feel so special on my birthday on labour day. especially, i believe her name is emma? she was wearing a blazer, bold golden earrings, slicked hair bun, and bushy brows. the food and service was top notch if not the best. there’s nothing more to say because i was left speechless.

Our group of girls came here to celebrate a birthday and this place did not disappoint in any aspect. The atmosphere was great from decor to music volume. The food was very good, and all the drinks were delicious as well. As for the service, a very special thank you to our waiter Alec for taking care of our large group throughout the night. He did an amazing job and we were very happy with the service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion!

We had our engagement dinner here, and the team was so efficient and adaptable to our needs. Sasha and Catherine were the managers I corresponded with, they had everything ready for the night. Hossein and Emma were our lead servers and they helped organize every detail, ensured the night ran smoothly. They even moved the champagne tower spot for me! The private room fits 30+ people, was wheelchair accessible and the dinner was delicious. The team was lovely, we had the best time

On a beautiful summer day in Montreal, we enjoyed the outdoor terrace at Maggie Oakes. The food was really delicious and I would rate the Ceasar salad one of the best I ever had. It’s always busy, so try to arrive earlier. You can go inside to cool down and see the beautiful hotel.

Nice restaurant and great service! On the other hand, we came for the Montréal à table brunch and what a disappointment $25 formula for a tasteless smoothie and avocado toast except that the plate was very thin and poorly arranged. A little toast and half an avocado sorry?!!! Way too much salad and it was wet!! In short, the presentation could have been a little more careful. The eggs werent even laid out. Its clearly not worth the price. My companion had the waffles for an extra $9 - on top of the menu price. The waffles were also wet, and the sauce had an unpleasant aftertaste. This establishment is participating in an event which aims to be of minimum quality. Here, I just have the impression that we wasted our money unnecessarily because we made much better establishments for Mtl at the table. I dont recommend it. One of the worst brunches in Montreal (which actually looked very promising!)

Food was excellent we took the 35oz cote de boeuf wit vegetable and the cooking was perfect. Service was on point not too fast not too slow. Just a little point about the hotesse she place us at a small table while they was many free table but when the food came it took like 2min for the manager to come and add another table. Overall we had a wonderful night and we left with joy of coming back soon.

We were about a dozen girls celebrating a birthday. I ordered the table dhote. The appetizer shrimp were disappointing as there was almost more batter than shrimp. The real disaster was the main course. I ordered a cod dish and the filet size was paper thin and appropriate for a small child. A gentleman who I assume was the maitre D agreed that it was a somewhat small portion & said hed have the dish replaced. He kindly brought a random appetizer in the meantime. My new dish took over 20 minutes to arrive. By then everyone had finished theirs. The new filet was much thicker but so undercooked that I could lift the whole thing when I stabbed it with my fork. I ate the edges and left the rest. When the waiter took my plate away he never inquired as to why so much fish was left. While I was waiting for my main course, I asked the others what they thought of theirs. Two different cuts of beef were over done and the chicken was acid. When the invoice came at least 3 guests noticed they had been overcharged and had to ask for a modification.

Excellent restaurant. Top notch service from Louis. We started with a wine flight which was paired with an appetizer bite. 2 whites and a red. Amazing pairings and what a start to the good. Our starters were wonderful...a goat cheese salad and Pate for my husband. We both had the 46 day dry aged NY strip with vegetables and a bourdalize sauce. The yuzu cream puff dessert was out of this world. We loved our meal so much we went back a second night to see Louis again. I highly recommend Maggie Oakes!!!

We were served by Pascal and his exceptional team for an MTL brunch at the table. I had not been so well served in a restaurant in Montreal since 2022. Very attentive to details and the well-being of their customers, Pascal and his team made us rediscover the standard of service in restaurants. The food was delicious and each dish executed with careful attention. I highly recommend this restaurant for your moments with family and/or friends. Know that during your experience there is a sublime team watching over you, and who understand that service in the catering sector is essential to having a pleasant time.

So certainly the food is good... But the price is way overpriced! And above all the service is endless even though it is a weekday and the restaurant is not full... 30 minutes for the wine, 45 minutes for the dish, after 20 minutes waiting for a waiter to order the dessert, we preferred to leave.

The atmosphere is good, but the service is bad. As you can see in the photo, the meal cost 2,000 yen, which seems expensive for a Japanese person. It took 30 minutes from ordering to the time the food came out.Do you have tea? When I asked about English breakfast, I was told it was perfect, but what came out was something completely different. Its been 30 minutes since I ordered, but when I asked what was going on, I was told that they were currently making the food, which I dont think would be acceptable in Japan. It was September 2024 at 10:30. I once again feel that Japans service level is excellent. Maybe this store isnt all bad...

Took my daughter and her friend for dinner last night. It was supposed to be a special night. Ordered soup and drinks - not bad. When waiting for the mains, however, we waited almost 2 HOURS. This is unacceptable. If we had gotten a previous heads up stating that the wait would be so long, it would have been better. However, with being told it would be coming after 10 minutes repeatedly, the process became infuriating, and for compensation after the 2 hours of being there, the manager gave us the smallest piece of cheesecake I have ever seen and the thinnest slice of chocolate cake, only knocking off our drinks from the tab. Bad management and bad client recovery attempt.

October 22, 2024

Nobody came to check in on us throughout our meal. The waitress did not make a wine recommendation when we asked for one. We felt rushed into our orders. We only got our steak knives after 30 minutes of having our food brought to us. The bread was only brought out 15 minutes after our mains. The bill was requested and we did not get it for easily 20 minutes. For a restaurant charging $250 for mains and one appetizer i would hope for better service than I can get at a chain restaurant. Shame on you guys. Will not be back.

We had excellent service from our server Léon. The food was really excellent, especially the steak which was perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The drinks were also delicious! If you are looking for a place to enjoy a good steak accompanied by good cocktails, I highly recommend this place!

October 22, 2024

I had a really disappointing experience at Maggie Oakes. After waiting an incredibly long time for our food, it finally arrived cold, as if they had forgotten about it. The steak, while not overcooked, was still the hardest and toughest steak I ve ever had it was nearly impossible to cut or chew. On top of that, the mashed potatoes had a strange, unpleasant taste that left me questioning the quality. Overall, the long wait and poor food quality made for a very frustrating dining experience. I wouldn t recommend this place if you re looking for a good meal or timely service.

Multiple meals at this establishment and so far, never disappointed. Friendly welcome and impeccable service. The menu is concise but with options, in my opinion, to please all tastes. Relaxed atmosphere, wine list with several options and several prices. We take care of you without being too present. We opted for a shared starter: shrimp with celery remoulade. Very good. Meal level: cauliflower and salmon. Once again, this is very appreciable. As for desserts, in my opinion, not at the same level as the dishes. We took the Paris Brest. Cream a little compact and the choux pastry a little elastic . We go there regularly and will return. Very nice place despite its location considered tourist. Offer that can appeal to both tourists and locals.

Beef cheeks and waffle was a home run! Very moist and tender beef cheeks, cooked fried chicken style, with a rich maple/beef gravy and herb oil. The Caesar was killer too, lots of dry spices and flavour! Their patio was overrun by hornets which was a little disappointing, but what can you do when theres flowers everywhere? They quickly moved us inside with no issues. Server was very nice, and personable but may have forgotten to check in on us a couple times. Not a huge issue, but stopped it from being 5/5 stars for service.

Great place to have dinner and drinks. Staff was super friendly, they really care about the customer experience, there was a little confusion with out order but they corrected it so promptly and ensured we were happy with our service at all times. I tried the salmon grilled fillet and was so good. Cocktails are algo very good and the view to old Montreal plaza is very very nice. Worth it 100%!!

It wasn t the best experience for me and my family. The server was not very helpful when taking the order. The sauces for the steaks were not tasty, everything was taking too long, we had to reach out to another server to be able to place an order since we had waited for a very long time. Would not recommend dining here. Also very overpriced.

The restaurant is beautiful and i ordered the filet mignon and it was soft and tender but the sauce is my issue. The flavor is so potent that it was overpowering. I ordered fries and they came less than 30 secs and they ended up being super dry. The veggies were delicious though.

Horrible service. Even during a busy time, the server shouldve paid attention to every table she has. Our server only focuses on one table. Food took forever, even though we had an empty drink, she didnt come to check / taking order etc. We wont come back.

A great culinary experience but disappointing service. Lots of new staff and a certain slowness in releasing dishes and just one latte! Nevertheless, refined dishes and a beautiful atmosphere. The brunch menu is around $28 on average for a dish. We had the Sheriffs Lunch (for a good appetite) and the Beef and Waffle. Two dishes that deserve a good 8/10 for creativity, taste and portion. Overall good value for money. You can choose to eat inside or outside. I recommend booking in advance as the restaurant is attached to the Hotel William Gray so you may have to wait a bit to get a seat. The butler did not hesitate to come and apologize for the slow service. Great attention paid to the customer experience. A great experience for a Brunch. I recommend without hesitation! Vegetarian options: Very few options but there are possibilities. Wheelchair accessibility: You can easily access the Hotel William Gray.

Very rude and petty manager

August 22, 2024

I recently visited Maggie Oakes restaurant for my friends 30th birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival, we were seated in our designated area and immediately noticed a strong draft from the vents that made our entire party uncomfortably cold. When we asked our waitress for help to reduce the air, she refused, stating that it was central AC and nothing could be done. After 30 minutes of freezing, I finally had to ask for the manager, who was able to adjust the air for us almost immediately. This should have been handled from the start. The food itself was another letdown. The soup chowder tasted like it came straight from a can of creamy corn bland and mediocre at best. The Salmon meal tasted like it came straight from the freezer and let s not even go into how the steaks we were served were so rare that most of our table had to pack it up and sear it again at home, as the restaurant couldn t or wouldn t correct it. The only saving grace of the meal was the desserts, which were decent, but that s hardly enough to redeem the overall experience. The service was just as disappointing. Our waitress was so rude that one of our guests had to explain to her the basics of customer service. I have never in my life given less than a 15% tip, even for subpar service, but this experience was so bad that we ended up leaving only 8%. For a high-end restaurant with such steep prices, the service and quality we received were completely unacceptable. I would not recommend Maggie Oakes, especially if you re looking for a pleasant dining experience for a special occasion.

August 22, 2024

The location was superb so we decided to have brunch there but service was poor. They took 15 minutes to serve us coffee and then 35 minutes for just an Avocado toast and a Salmon bagel. We had plans for the rest of the day which were ruined by them. The food was okay-ish but they completely ruined our day. The server didnt care to rush our order even after we told her 2 times. People who were seated after us left earlier than us. Very disappointed.. dont recommend it.

Steak was overcooked. Most prices were reasonable but some felt a bit ridiculous. Also initially doublecharged on the bill which we had to point out.

★★
August 22, 2024

Servers are great! Inside dining is noisy but restaurant is nice and nicely appointed. Their signature aged beef is priced per ounce, but is prepared in pre-sliced 20oz portions...why not just list the cut by the actual price instead of forcing the customer to pull out the calculator to figure the price of the serving? We ordered the Flank Steak which admittedly is the lowest price cut, but I ordered it because I didnt want to try to polish off 20oz of steak for dinner. Ive had flank steak before and still enjoyed it but in this case I was sorry I ordered it. It was tough, chewy, and flavorless. I would recommend the restaurant remove it from the menu.

We had a great evening on the terrace. The employees are very nice and the meals are excellent!

Worst service ever received. We were 3 girls visiting Montreal, when we wanted to eat on a terrace (without reservation). The hostess told us that there were no reservations, first come first served! Noticing that the terrace was full, we therefore went looking for another restaurant. We then noticed that he had 1 table of 6 free. We asked if it was possible to separate the tables so that we could eat. This is where the manager (blond man) arrived to shout at us and tell us that he was not taking orders from customers. Because of this horrible way of being spoken to, we decided that we no longer wanted to eat at this restaurant. We headed to the restaurant next door to look at the menu. And thats when the Manager once again rushes with a smile and runs towards the hostess of the Jacopo, to tell her not to seat us. He turns to us to tell us that this restaurant is owned by the same owner and that he wasnt going to seat us in that location either. Terrible costumer service. Horrible employee. No life skills, Horrible way of doing things. Perhaps training on how to interact and communicate with customers would be basic.. or just hire a manager who makes sense. I would never recommend this restaurant unfortunately.

Dining at this restaurant is always a pleasure. I selected this place to introduce my friends to one of Montreals hidden gems, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. Despite the heavy rain outside, the staff remained kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. We started our evening with cocktails and wine in the central lounge, which offered a cozy, intimate setting. Although we arrived without a reservation, one of the managers accommodated us, providing a table in a particularly special spot near the vertical garden. The seating was comfortable, and the lighting was just right, enhancing the overall ambiance. Our waitress was friendly and attentive from the moment we sat down. The restaurant s atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern and elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. The music played at a perfect volume, allowing for easy conversation. As always, the food was outstanding. Every dish was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the variety of desserts was the perfect conclusion to our meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend the Steak Bavette, Salmon Tartare, the tropical cocktail, and of course, the desserts.

I decided to celebrate my birthday at Maggie Oakes this year and had no regrets other than missing out on their terrasse experience! By the time I was making a reservation about a week in advance their terrasse was already booked up so I went with a table inside. Our server Alec was exceptional, not only from the traditional point of view of being a professional with quick and friendly service but also going an extra mile to take pictures of us, 7 girls with very specific instructions LOL. Their steaks are amazing and they have enough vegetarian options to also satisfy non-meat-eating appetites in the group. Appetizers are really unique and flavorful. The drinks are nice & boozy unlike other places that charge you the same prices but put half a shot of alcohol and fill the glass with ice until it overflows. Vegetarian options: For a steakhouse they have great vegetarian options.

It s located in unique and vibrant Old Montreal. They offer dry-aged meats. The 45 days aged rib steak was awesome, rich flavor, tender and marbled. We were there at 9:30pm, didn t want to eat two much, but we didn t think the 20oz rib steak was enough for three of us lol, so delicious. The goat cheese was amazing, rich, smooth and creamy. The flank steak was so so, a bit dry.

Came to the place with great expectations but left knowing there is much better places where to spend my money. I got an avocado bread breakfast that comes with salad and it came with one tomato even if in the menu the dried tomates are pretty well emphasized. The bread was way too small, the vinaigrette had no particular taste. I asked for a side order of Bénédictin sauce for my pocket eggs and I found the sauce mediocre, almost tasteless and it costed me 4$. I might come back for a coffee to enjoy the beautiful view of old port on their terrace. Won t be expending more than 10$.
