The food (and drinks) live up to their ratings All three steaks orders were cooked to perfection… the chicken and the poses were as well and their accompanying sauces were authentic tasting … very creamy and simply wow …

Always visit when I make it to Montreal for work, great food, friendly atmosphere, bilingual severs which helps with my limited French. Steaks are amazing and cooked to perfection.

The ambiance and service are OK but their food is not good. I went with 3 friends and all the plates tasted like frozen food bought from a supermarket. For the price you are paying, I was expecting something better. Service and presentation were good but taste very mediocre.

It's a cool concept that it's inside a church, but the prices are way too high way too much and they don't have much variety. There's not much on the menu, drinks or expensive to $10 for a beer. I took fish and chips was all right. Homemade fries but they're cheap on the sauce and the fries are very skinny. If it would be more food on the menu and maybe cheaper it would be a not bad kind of place..

Overall ok experience. The location is nice and concept is fun but the way the tables are setup is a bit weird and it was very hot. Everyone is nice but service is extremely slow. They were out of oysters at 6pm which i thought was a bit weird since they open at 5pm. The portion of tartar you get for the "meal" option at almost 40$ is extremely small and has no taste. The burger was amazing and juicy though. It felt like there was missing something or someone in the kitchen since the table of 4 next to us took an hour to receive their entrees. I will try another restaurant next time I am in town.

OMG WOW...we ordered 4 meals so we can test each one. Onignon soup to die for. Octopus amazing. Desserts top notch. Our waiter was so nice answered questions, gave us his choices. The food omg the food delicious. The fish of the day flavorful, gnocchi wow , fish and chips yummy. Risotto melt in your mouth. All I could say is I'm definitely going back.

This location has had many bars and restaurants in the past, this one is shaping up to be my favorite so far. The new owners have breathed some fresh life into this old church with a wonderful menu and great service. New ideas for old favorites like their Grilled Ceasar salad is what sets them apart. The owners are really trying to make this a special spot in the area, and from my 3 previous visits I'd say they succeeded. My favorites are the Bavette and the catch of the day has been spectacular. Don't forget the cocktails!! And superb wines as well. Definitely worth a visit!!

I start by saying the personal 5 stars For the rest, my partner ordered 22 dollars for his octopus entree for 2 pieces as big as a finger and drown in oil. As a main meal of duck tartare the portion is also tiny. For me, I ordered a steak that had more cartilage than cold vegetable meat. No packaging on the tables. Then if you decide to spoil yourself and you have a baby of mine age at 3 months no table in the bathroom to change it bathroom or the heating does not work, then you have to change the my babys diaper on a cold bathroom floor I really do not recommend No caliter price ratio

For our first experience, the service was excellent with our waitress, Sandrine, she is awesome and professional! Our food was very good: gratinated onion soup, grilled octopus, salmon tartare, beef tartare and fries! One star is missing because we had a table near a wall with no lighting and no ambiance, very dark! (this table lacks a little love) Were going back, thats for sure and very soon!

We reserve for 7 hours for 2 people. No room, we were temporarily placed at another table. Okay, no big deal. 45 minutes later, we finally got placed in our place. Have ordered and we are waiting. Returned 9 hours nothing received we asked to speak to the manager. Stupidly he tells us you ordered at that time. He doesnt even apologize for the delay and the mud service. I didnt know what to say, I was upset. 10 minutes later we arrived. We didnt even have a knife to cut the octopus which was okay, not bad but not wow. My tuna tataki was terrible. Tuna is best in grocery store sushi and served on a bed of ICEBERG!!! I freaked out after that, they dare to describe it as fine cuisine. Well it continues at 9:40, 2 hours and 40 after having arrived at our 7 hour reservation not yet received our main course we just left. Worst experience of my life.

While passing through Valleyfield, we took a chance to book at the last minute and they found us a place for 2. Wow, beautiful place, fast and friendly service, one of the owners even took the time to chat with us a little. Their choice of cocktails is impressive, we really enjoyed it. Fish n chips for me, mussels for Madame, everything was excellent. If we had more time we would have stayed, the DJ had just arrived and the atmosphere was excellent.

The service is TOP, but the steak was tough and there were nerves. I asked for rare, they brought me medium well cooked. My fries were horribly dirty and the vegetables were soft. The bar was dark and it was cold in the stars...in

Not impressed at all. My friend and I had a reservation for dinner, and even though there were many empty tables, the server put us at the top of the stairs, with no room to move and not even enough room on the table for our bottle of wine. We asked if we could get another table, but we were told that everything was reserved... Which I highly doubt because no one showed up. The food was ok, but nothing special. We asked what was the restaurants best dish and the server read the whole menu. Staff was not friendly, nor pleasant. Wont return thats for sure!

We were there for a team dinner. We had a reservation at 6 p.m., but the table was not yet ready at 6:15 p.m. on the pretext that we had a 4 to 6 with our union before and not everyone had left. We finally got a table after 6:30 p.m. on the 3rd floor. We ordered our dinner at 6:45 p.m. and at 9:15 p.m. we still hadnt received anything. I even had to go get a bottle of wine from the bar directly, because the waitress didnt come back to ask us if we wanted a drink other than water after ordering. When I canceled my order at 9:15 p.m. (with other colleagues), I had to insist and was told not to worry that life was good... My interactions with the owner and bar attendant were either lengthy or unpleasant. I wont go back there again. The only reason for my 3 stars is that when I ordered during covid the food was good (but delivery not always on time).
