Review from Ms. V.
Mont-Royal, QC

We were looking for a bite before the hockey game and ended up finding a parking spot in front of Deville Dinerbar...its purple lights beckoned so we decided to give it a try.
The decor is cool - like a very modern retro diner - very sleek.
We mentioned to the hostess that we were going to the game and would be a little rushed to eat and she assured us there would be no problem. In fact, our waitress was already waiting at our table upstairs with a menu and a smile and assured us we would be fed and out in plenty of time.
The menu was pretty extensive and I would have loved to have more time to browse every interesting but delicious-sounding offering but time constraints being what they were I chose the first two dishes that caught my eye.
We started with the chorizio and cheese cigarillos - fried tortillas filled with chorizo and cheese - which were greasy but delicious. The tomato-mint dipping sauce didn't really add much to the dish however. I followed up with the brasa sandwich - basically chicken, ham, cheese and pineapple on a country roll. It was a very geneours sandwich served wih an equally generous portion of matchstick fries and all of was good to the last bite!
Our service was impeccable - our waitress was quick, efficient and very sensitive to our time constraints. She brought dipping sauces for the fries and extra napkins without being asked and was helpful without being envasive.
It was on the pricier side with 1 appetizer and 2 sandwiches and 2 beers totaling 70$ before tip. But I did enjoy every generous bite! -

I completely COMPLETELY agree with Wes N.
Tried this place for the first time yesterday for lunch.
First of all, there is nothing appropriate for lunch there. Like Wes said, the menu WAS very frustrating to look at. The seating is so small in the single 2-seaters that our super long menus barely fit in front of us - I mean COME ON !!!!
I ordered the "Deville Club" and it was so gigantic (ridiculous) that I could not eat it. I asked the waitress if they could cut it into 4 pieces rather than just two, and I was provided with a STEAK KNIFE.
I hardly ate any of it. The waitress said it is more of a "Fork and Knife" kind of sandwich... should I have to eat a sandwich with a fork & knife.... REALLY?! The Manager came to our table asking for feedback and kindly gave me my meal free of charge - but regardless, I did not enjoy myself at this resto from start to finish.
This resto is definitely NOT Return-Worthy. Thanks for reading! -

Atmosphere, Service, Food - the essentials
Atmosphere: DeVille Dinerbar is a new edition to the flock of trendy cafes / dinners on Stanley street. Unfortunately however, DeVille as a late comer - gives off the air of trying too hard, and borders on the pretentious. It is themed to look like a trendy 60's dinner - but goes overboard with the usage of cliche and tried props like pink neon, semi-circular booths, and the menu printed on the walls (look for spelling mistakes!). It could be a good place to have a business dinner though.
Service: For a place that aspires to attract the young and hip as well as the old and established - DeVille does not do a very good job at grooming their waiters and waitresses very well in the art of service. The staff, it seems, has been plundered from various other places, perhaps with the lure of a higher pay-cheque, and as such do not have any connection to the place. Although the service is polite and pleasant, mistakes are not out of the question.
Food: Perhaps, DeVille's fatal flaw. The food is nothing to write home about, and at the prices listed, they are in no way shape or form enticing enough to come back to. Since the menu, contains lots (lots) of items, in many categories, choosing the right meal frustratingly difficult. The fact that every dish has a pretentious (there's that word again) name, is also a drag.
Wants to be cool - but ends up trying too hard. -

Another chi-chi burger place, another disappointment. What's a burger? It's a patty, its cheese and a bun. I don't need 2, 3 sauces, caramelized onions and short rib and both sesame AND poppy seeds. Can we PLEASE keep it simple and also... do all burger places have to make horrendously huge frakking burgers?
DO NOT call it Philly cheesesteak. 1, Cheesesteak is only made in Philly, you can drop that part. Plus it's made from rib steak, not shoulder. If yer gonna wit' whiz it, at least use Cheeze Whiz, not a copy brand. But as a beef and cheese spring roll, it work pretty good.
I could go into details, but I'm not up to it.
They made a tasty Tom Collins though. And the lemon pie was awesome. -

The menu at Deville Diner Bar is extensive but concise. You might think it's a bit of a contradiction to have something varied but focused, however, the kitchen is making each and every menu item for a reason. However random you might think the pairings and dishes are, I found the menu here extremely thought out and conscious. Respecting the tradition and concept of a "diner", these guys are playing off dishes that we've all grown up with.
Deville Diner Bar takes those tastes that we are all used to, the flavours that we all love for sentimental value, updates them, buys them a Bluray player and an iPhone and welcomes them to 2011. They acknowledge any emotional attachments to classic dishes we have, takes you by the hand and leads you the way to show you what they've done with them.

This place is definitely a cut above the rest. The retro, chic decor combines the American Diner style of the 50's along with a sleek, modern edge. I've been here twice and truly enjoyed my dining experiences. They have a varied drink selection that can accommodate all tastes...just ask for little ice cause they do go overboard with it. On my first visit I ordered a Sweet Craig...Vodka, Chambord, Amaretto and lime/lemon soda...it was FANTASTIC!!
As for the meal, my friends and I decided to share a bunch of appetizers. We ordered: the mini lobster rolls, Philly cheesesteak spring rolls, calamari and fries. Everything was really fresh and super tasty. I must add that the staff is very friendly, helpful and they smile! For dessert we chose The Big Easy Beignets--new orleans style donuts, they come with a caramel praline sauce and a chocolate Bourbon sauce....SOOOO GOOD!!!!
On my second visit, my husband and I ordered: the bacon wrapped dog sliders appetizer, if you're a fan of hot-dogs you'll love these. For our main meal, I ordered the pastichio-Greek style lasagna, and my husband ordered the Fat Cat burger. I loved my pastichio, it was a big portion so I got to take the rest with me. My husband on the other hand was not impressed with his burger, the waiter failed to ask him how he wanted his burger cooked....and being that my husband is well traveled and has eaten in great restaurants all over the US--that was a big fail for him. A waiter must always ask how one wants his meat cooked!
For dessert we ordered the 5 & dime malt shake and the Big Easy beignets along with tea/coffee. The desserts were great and we could've used another shake!! Also, they offer a connection to the restaurant's music app...sort of like a personalized jukebox where you can request songs from your iPhone. However, we weren't able to connect to their server to select music. When we asked the hostess, she said she wasn't sure and asked her manager, who basically ignored the request, and said there was nothing wrong with their server. Why advertise this option on your placemat menus, which are sitting on every table, and then not make the service available to your customers!? I should add that my husband is an executive at a well known American computer company, and thus would know if their server had a problem! Besides the insignificant glitches the overall experience at this restaurant was very good, and I must reinstate the fact that the service was EXCELLENT!!! A definite do!!! -
