Once again they do a top notch job. (did i just write top notch?)
Great service here, good food too. we ate off the dinner menu, but in the lounge. thought id shake things up a bit.
Found a nicely priced tasty New Zealand wine to sip on and everything was great.

Great spot. You need to be on the rooftop patio in the summer, fantastic view of Crescent St.… Read more »

Of all the bars and lounges we visited in Montreal, i'd say that this was my fave.
It was classy, lounge-y, somewhat low-key, the patrons were not creepy or annoying and the servers both nites were very nice and efficient.
I'd recommend for a nite out of town -

I have been here for a few evening meals, never to the dance club, so I can't comment on that! The food in the restaurant was very good, ambiance is nice, upscale. Service was good, attentive, it was very busy each time I was there. The lunch menu is OK, tho I think there are better places for lunch in Montreal. I agree with other reviewers that the upstairs restaurant is the place to eat, but the downstairs bar/ lounge is not a bad place to hangout, have a drink and look at the beautiful Montrealers.

super pricey for what you're getting, pretty good cocktails, good service.
The food is crazy over-priced here (maybe it's a Montreal thing), so too were the drinks. BUT, on the other hand, this was the only place I could find in the downtown-touristy area that had a bottle of Angostura bitters, so the pretty friendly barkeep, tough he'd never heard of it before, let me walk him through an Old Fashioned, which was great (and I'd been looking for an Old Fashioned for days by that point, but nobody carried bitters). Also tried their version of a pomegranate mojito, which was also done really well - tart instead of sugary, which I liked.
The decor is shamcy-low-key, mood lightning, swanky. It felt great to get out of the snow for two hours and feel a little chic, and I was really happy to have a good bartender, but I don't think I'd be back again. Trop cher pour moi.
[this will mean very little to most people, but Le Newton found an AMAZING designer to do their business cards. I want to know who's responsible. They're incredible.] -

Newtown is a visually deceiving place. From the outside, the staircase leading to the main floor looks like an intimate restaurant/lounge but once inside, it's actually fairly huge.
Inside, it's gray and white minimalist decor with low violet lighting (or at least I thought it was violet lighting).
Towards the back are two sets of staircase, one leading to the terrace for the summertime and another staircase leading to the bar downstairs.
Everyone one of the staff was really cool and accomodating which was refreshing considering the type of service received during a New Year's party. They didn't have Tanqueray for the open bar package which was fine since the Gin & Tonics still tasted good and not watered down.
The music was was a mix of electro house, hip hop and top 40 music kept the crowd moving till 2am.
Overall, the experience was great and a lot of fun and I'd definitely come back when I'm in Montreal again. -

In the second floor, there is a gourmet restaurant, which in my opinion is one of the best of Montreal... or Maybe, Canada!!.. every dish we tried was AWESOME!!!.. The chef was the best Chef of Canada some months ago, and we realized why he won that award!!.. He really deserve it!! .. In my opinion one of the best gourmet food I've tried in Montreal!!... the service was great and the wine was delicious!!.. I would like to go back there a lot of times more!!...

My coworkers came here for dinner our first night in Montreal (a Monday) and were not impressed. Apparently on Sunday & Monday the regular restaurant is closed so there is only a bar menu.
We didn't realize this until we sat down after just sprinting in to get out of a thunderstorm.
The decor is the nicest part - modern and funky with nice open windows (luckily the rain wasn't coming in!) and a good view of Crescent St.
There was only one waitress working who was doing her best (to be fair), but she needed help. She was scrambling around and we had to track her down for everything from menus to ordering and getting the check.
Food was kind of a joke. The menu was not cohesive or complementary at all. Charcuterie plates, hamburgers, and grilled cheese?
Prices were also ridiculous (the grilled cheese was $1 more than the hamburger?) and not worth it.
I'd stay away. -

I was not particularly impressed with this place. The meal started out promising enough with the goat cheese appetizer. However, my cod entree with potatoes was served with some sort of sauce that I could not quite describe. Perhaps I just didn't suit my taste, but it just wasn't that good.
The service was friendly, if a bit slow at times, especially considering there were only like four tables eating at the restaurant (we got there after 10PM).
The upstairs bar and downstairs bars were packed, so perhaps this is more of a nightlife location as opposed to a dining location. -

I was disgusted by their service!!! I sat myself on the patio and waited for at least half an hour to get a drink from our server. No one approached our table. Irk and irritable, I went to the bar. Order our drinks, waited another 5/10 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Once it did, my martini tasted like club soda. I know I like my drinks stiff but my martini tasted like a water down soda. I should've saved my money and just ordered a 7-up. The manager, a young lady approached us about experience. My husband informed her how disappointed I was and she said she would have another drink order for us right away. Thirty minutes later passed and never came. I gave up and left. This place left a sour taste in my mouth.

We chose this place because we wanted beef tartare. Worst experience ever. I picked a cocktail - off. I picked another - off. I ordered a 3rd one and it never turned up. We ordered tartare and they didn't have anymore. I complained. I asked to see a manager - none ever turned up. In the end, they "found" a portion of beef tartare which my date had since it was his birthday. I ordered salmon tartare, which was a ridiculously small portion, with two small cubes of water melon as an accompaniment. That is what I call taking the piss. The waitress was lovely; it wasn't her fault and she listened and apologised, but I will never go back there again.
