Excellent service and a great meal. We had reservations on a Tuesday night with a 2 and a half year old in tow and they couldn't have been more accommodating. My wife and I both ordered off the special menu and what a great deal with a soup/salad, entree and half a bottle of wine for 35 bucks. Both my beef carpaccio and my wife's canellonis were excellent. The wine was delicious as well as they selected a very nice Pinot to complement the meal. Best of all was the kids meal. My son has never eaten so well for less than 10 bucks. He received a half portion of the canellonis, a drink, and an excellent desert. They brought his meal out right away which was great because it provided a great distraction. Also compliments of the house were a delicious olive tapenade and a guacamole with fish. I would definitely come back and would love to give a big thank you to Michele and the rest of the staff for allowing us to have a nice meal in Montreal even with our son in tow.

Review from Jason B.
Starts - Bread very hard, typical French style baguette.
Salad was fantastic and fresh. Whole hazelnuts. Greens were not bitter.
Entree - here's where it gets really good! Wow, so good; perfect compliment of flavors. Carpaccio, capers, fresh squeezed lemon. Sliced cheese. Salted Portobello mushrooms.
A decent half bottle of wine (red or white) compliments the dinner choice and is part of the fixed price meal.
Service - very prompt, frequent and friendly. I would describe them as a "professional" wait staff. The English speaking is so-so here -

Another restaurant recommendation from the hotel... we were able to walk there from our downtown location. It's funny how small Montreal really is...
They are right about this place.. they are not too careful with the billing. The waitress also mischarged us for a beer we did not get. She did apologize.. as well as for the steak she delivered to us as well done instead of medium. The beef carpaccio was really good though.. as were the mussels. Way better than what they serve in the States with a large quantity.
I really liked the wine that I got as well.. delicious.
Not as good as Bonaparte but not bad.
The scene is like a noisy beer hall with the look of Cheers inside. Not totally romantic.. but nice. -

Be sure to check your bill before you pay.
The evening went quite well for the most part. We had a large group of 20 people and they accommodated us fairly quickly. So if you are starving and you want your food served fast, this place is great.
Menu selection was alright. We came here because there was a $35 set menu. Apparently there are restrictions as tho which items you can select for the $35 or $45 set menu between appetizers, entree and desserts... They didn't state this on their website.
Wine and drink menu, none. You kind of have to ask them until they have something you want. Even when I requested for a glass of white, they didn't ask me from where, or taste preference, neither do they provide a list of the cost by the glass or by the bottle. Not happy about that and they don't let you try the wine before they pour you the entire glass. Fine, no big deal, maybe it was a Montreal tradition...
I was quite upset that our service deteriorated as the night went on because we had no sight of our server to refill water and he over charged my and my friend 3 extra glasses of wine. He made the correction, but it took a while before he came back with our bills and change. Is it REALLY that hard on an electronic system these days?
The food itself wasn't bad. I liked the fillet mignon and I also got the opportunity to try the beef tartare, salmon brioche, and the Duck Confit. The portion of the Duck Confit wasn't very large. It's served like a quarter chicken dinner with drumstick and thigh bone on a bed of mashed potatoes and sauce. I had ordered a separate appetizer before hand, ate a lot of bread, and I didn't order it with the set menu, I was told the entrée portions were slightly smaller if you order with the menu. The beef tartare looked like it was a good portion though. I think it really depends on what you order.
I could come back, but not at the top of my list. -

I was at Beaver Hall this evening and I was very impressed. The food was very good and the service was even better. I dined alone and the waiter and the maitre'd made me feel very comfortable and they were very attentive which doesn 't often happen when you dine alone. I had the steak tatare which was very good and it came with a salad, which was nicely dresses and wonderful French fries. I almost never eat french fries as I don't really like them, but these were wonderful. I had the Baba au Rum for dessert and it was a little heavy but good. I enjoyed the lively atmospher as the resteraurant was up beat and lively, it was not stuffy. The place was filled with locals and the dress was casual. I wish I had another day in town, I would dine here again.

I had my favorite meal in Montreal at Beaver Hall (no rhyme intended). Originally, I was set to go to Europea, the chi-chi restaurant owned by the same chef. However, I was a little too meat and potatoes for that place and promptly left. Beaver Hall however was way more up my alley. Less pretentious, this place has everything you could ask for from flank steak, lobster risotto, french onion soup and more. Reasonable prices for a nice restaurant. The service was super friendly too. The food...well, delicious. I had the flank steak with shallots, mesclun greens and frites. Then I finished it off with creme brulee. If I ever go back to Montreal, this place will definitely be on my list.

Very nice, nice service, but the food is heavy like for winter. Overcooked and heavy. They even managed to make the fish heavy. Looks like they have good fries. Good quality but too bad. The magret of duck was cooked too quickly so the fat still thick and the meat tough and undercooked. Could be good this was only one try. Maybe better for steak frites. $10 glass of wine: first pour was stingy but another waiter served us a nice glass.

I liked both the atmosphere and the food at this place-- very fun. I was dining alone on a busy night for them, but they were super nice & accommodating. Definitely a bustling place-- not quiet, and the service is a bit frantic, but I didn't find it inattentive at all. I had the Parmesan-crusted calamari, which were quite nice as an appetizer. For the entree I had the ballotine of guinea fowl with rapini, butternut squash risotto and garlic cream. The garlic cream and risotto were both delicious, and the guinea fowl was quite nice, though just a tad bit dry for my taste. I don't know what one of the other commenters is talking about when saying there is no drink menu, since I was given one with wine by the glass and the bottle. The only thing I would do differently was the dessert-- the profiteroles were not the best I'd ever had... I think they'd been sitting a bit long. Next time I'd try the crepes suzette. :)
