    Super belle ambiance et excellent service aux tables. Portion généreuse de pâtes pour le prix. Petite déception de l'assiette de guédille de homard. Pour le prix, nous nous attendions à avoir deux morceaux.

    We were looking for seafood while on business in Montreal. Seafood was available but choices were limited. We had the cod fritters and they were deep fried and dry. The lobster Ravioli was good but not "wow". The steak is a waist of time ordering it was small and you could have bounced it off the ground. The plate was messy with mashed potatoes and so many veggies all over the plate. Not a place I will return too when visiting Montreal in the future.

    Food was good, but to be told at 7 that they no longer have cod fritters as appetizer was quite disappointing and makes you wonder why ?? The lobster roll was very good as well as octopus and tuna tartar. The service was extremely slow and when we asked for regular coffee was brought americano which we do not drink. If you don’t have just be honest .

    Pincette was amazing - 4 of us had the delicious lobster rolls - our awesome waiter, David recommended a "lettuce wrap" lobster roll instead of one with bread of those of us not wanting bread. He was very friendly, knowledgable and helpful.The atmosphere is comfortably rustic. We were headed to a Cirque show and had plenty of time for a nice dinner before. We would certainly return!

    Service impeccable. Fricassée excellente; Queues de homard (2 convives) trop cuites. Extrêmement dures. Autres mets présentés: huitres, entrées, cocktail, desserts excellents. Pour cocktail pincette au crabe, je suggérerais de casser la pince davantage car c'est très difficile à manger. Dans l'ensemble: bonne première expérience. Nous reviendrons.

    We chose from the Happening Gourmand menu and the choices were varied and interesting. The breaded mussels were delicious. The clam linguine could've had a bit more flavor. The deconstructed lemon cake was delicious and all the dishes were presented beautifully. No bread was offered during the meal. The atmosphere was warm and familial. It reminded me of Nova Scotia (my home province).
