Review from Emma B.
Toronto, ON

A great place for drinks and creative food after work!
Atmosphere: A very urban take on western, barn-like chic. Comfortable without being too trendy. Bathrooms (located up stairs) were gorgeous (I'm picky like that)...unisex, individual stalls/rooms with a shared marble sink.
Food: We initially went just to have drinks after work, but after checking out the menu of tapas, cheese, oysters, etc...we had to try a couple things. So we ordered 3 tapas dishes to share...smoked salmon chopped and mixed with pecans, mini bison burgers, and ceviche. All were to die for but the salmon in particular was amazing.
Service: It wasn't very busy when we first got there but got really crowded later. The service didn't change...our waiter was attentive, super helpful (provided recommendations when asked, translated when I needed it, suggested wine to go with out order, etc). Really friendly...and when I wandered trying to find the bathroom (there were no signs), one of the chefs saw me (they make everything out in the open in the mid-back of the restaurant) and pointed out were to go...really nice guy!
Would definitely head back here! -

Interesting restaurant . . . very quiet for a Saturday night, almost too quiet. Perhaps we were just there too early.
Very sleek atmosphere . . . almost a little cold, but yet still comfortable. Staff was nice and non-intrusive. Tapas were unique! Some very good, some underwhelming, but A+ for creativity! -

Came here late with a group of 6 - atmosphere was certainly unique - sleek but rugged, and the servers dressed in black and white plaid. I like the way that Emma B describes it ("urban take on barn-like chic").
We were given the late-night menu, which of course was in French. I've found most places in Montreal have English menus if you ask for them, so I asked if they had English menus. Our server was not super pleasant - he gave us a rather gruff "no" and then walked away. When he came back 10 minutes later to take our order, he offered to translate the menu for us, but it would've been nicer if he'd done that in the first place. One of my friends spoke a fair amount of French and tried to order in French, and the waiter refused to answer him in French - it was kind of awkward.
Food was pretty good - we got the olive and nut app, I got the Bison burger which was small but tasty, my friend got Green Bean Poutine and his cheesecurds were out of control good. The Tuna Tartar tasted like smoked salmon - straight delicious. Portions were small, but in general people were happy with the food they ordered. So yah - food was pretty decent, but with a very hot-and-cold waiter I could take or leave this place. Also, there was a spider in my wine glass, so I'd check your glassware closely before letting them pour! -

Lovely restaurant--great food and wonderful service. We brought our two kids aged 5 and 7, and I wouldn't recommend that if your kids are picky eaters. Ours are, and total meltdown was only averted by the wonderful attentions of the handsome waiter who brought my 5 year old daughter unadorned cheese curds. The children were graciously welcomed and treated extremely well, but unless yours are adventurous eaters, you'll need to feed them elsewhere.

We ran across this place, located outside the craziness of Old Montreal. The waiter translated the entire menu for us, complete with commentary on what each dish is comprised of. The wine list is great. And most of our dishes tasted amazing. We really liked the beet carpacchio (who knew?) and ceviche salad. The bbq duck was okay, not great. But overall, great service, nice atmosphere (trying towards Western/"barn-like"), relaxed, and small, tapas-like plates. One of our best dining experiences in Montreal.
