    Seeing a show at Centaur Theatre and wanted a good meal before the show. Recommended by Centaur Theatre and they were spot on. Ophelie (sp?) was our server and she was great. We were two and shared the Smokey Shrimps with maple syrup and lemon, the soft shell crab club in a brioche with bacon and lemon aioli, the Zaatar carrots and rapini with parmesan and burnt lemon. Everything tasted fresh and delicious and was well presented. Serving time was spot on too. I started off with one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had, and my tablemate and I had the white sangria. Look for the hanging “Epik” sign above this little gem - as it is in the lobby of the Hotel Epik. You have a choice of 3 parking lots just around the corner on St. Francois-Xavier. We’ll definitely be back to taste the rest of the menu!!

    Ignorez le commentaire en sous, cette personne a probablement passer une mauvaise journee. Je vien au polisson a chaque semaine, le staff est hypee sympathique, la nourrierure elle est delicieuse, et le service est excellent. La poutine au poulet est merveilleuse. Les boissons sont excellent et l’etablissement est plus propre que la maison de Martha Stewart. Garantie une belle experience

    Le personnel était vraiment très gentil mais la nourriture très ordinaire. Un morceau de fish and chips et quelques frites pas assez dorées pour 27$ ce n’est pas intéressant. Malheureusement, nous n’y retournerons pas et nous ne recommanderons pas cet endroit.

    Nice restaurant tucked into a small space on the ground floor of a boutique hotel. We shared the calamari, coconut shrimp, and seafood spaghetti. All three were cooked just right. There are some reasonable wines by the glass as well as by the bottle. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Restaurant was around the corner from our hotel and one of the few places that still had available reservations, so we did not have particularly high expectations. But we had great appetizers and wonderful mussels for an entree. Service was very good and waiter so personable.

    Adresse à ne pas manquer dans le Vieux Port. Super moment passé en semaine, avons beaucoup apprécié le concept de la carte (change tout les jours et plats de partage). Les plats étaient savoureux, l’ambiance très sympathique. Équipe souriante, dynamique et soudée. Le temps nous a permis de profiter de la terrasse joliment décorée.

    We arrived and were seated right away. The appetizer burratta was fine but nothing spectacular. For our entrees we had shrimp scampi and mussels. Once again it was fine but nothing special. The mussels themselves were sweet but the broth was flavorless. We ordered a side dish of roasted carrots with labneh which were tasty. They were short staffed which I understand in this current labor market however they were running out of menu items by 8:30 pm.

    Très belle terrasse, calme. En entrée, calmars frits délicieux et quantitée généreuse. J’ai mangé la guédille au homard. Super bon. Mon conjoint a mangé le burger et a trouvé la boulette très salée (épices). Un bon 8.5/10 pour l’expérience.

    For what we paid, this really wasn't worth it. We were eating out to celebrate a friend's birthday and we informed the staff beforehand. They did not do anything to assist us in celebrating or making it a special occasion whatsoever. It all just felt overpriced, impersonal, and lacking.

    Fantastic little spot in Old Montreal. The food was very good. The risotto was especially excellent. The drinks were very good - the server's recommendations were spot on. And the service was superb. Overall, I think the price/quality relationship on this restaurant is spot on. Well worth the money!

    Accueil, service, nourriture excellents! Très petit bémol: servir un tartare de saumon avec des nachos...il manquait des toasts ou, à tout le moins, des tranches de baguette. Nous aurions apprécié une musique plus cool et relax, un volume plus bas. Côté boissons, avons beaucoup apprécié qu'on nous prépare un cocktail sans alcool, à notre demande. Rapport qualité-prix très bien! Je recommande ce restaurant.

    On a passé une très bonne soirée, les employers sont aux petits soins et attentionnés. L’ambiance est très paisible avec une bonne musique d’ambiance et une terrasse vraiment bien isolées du bruit de la ville. On se croirait ailleurs et en plus très mignon. La nourriture est vraiment excellente. Je recommande fortement.
