    WOW, salmon tartar was a great starter, deep fried quail was mouth watering, and the main was to die for. Great service!!!!Danny Smiles thanks for taking the time to meet a fan. Highly recommended.

    Been here 10+ times
    Sit at the bar. Try as many things you can share. Try daily cocktails. Wine list is inviting. Rap dinner with a couple homemade shooters. This is recipe for a beautiful evening !

    Had the risotto and Arctic char and they were both amazing! The restaurant’s entrance is down a set of stairs so it’s a bit hard to find but the atmosphere is intimate and the staff are excellent!

    Great bar in Old Port that's underground. The staff is great and they play good classic music. Sit at the bar for the best experience to get to know them and talk about whatever.

    My favorite stop on our Montreal tour and an amazing start to the trip. Great service, drinks, wine and obviously the food. But the atmosphere was what was the most memorable!

    Tasted about 6 or 7 things on the menu and everything was pretty solid. I believe the menu changes every so often BUT the scallop tartare was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 and so was the sea bream 😋

    Chuck Hughes' second venture hit the scene in 2011 with nary a whisper of a sophomore slump. The room is a charmer and chef Danny Smiles has serious game. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Incredible food and waitstaff. Top Chef Canada was filming there for a new episode. Gravlax and sashimi is a must. No cocktail list since they create speciality ones every day. Loved this place!

    Best oyster plate I have ever had. The three course special was amazing. Try the salmon chowder, is delicious.

    Great seafood and wine. Reserve on the Terrace if it's not too hot. Try the blue cheese charcuterie plate and the Chocolate ganoche and jelly donuts for desert! You can't go wrong with Chuck Hughes

    The shrimp and cornbread appetizer was out of this world. Also highly recommend the Braised Veal Cheek and Octopus entree. Sounds strange, but if was absolutely mouth-watering.

    The somme seeks out really unique wine at a bargain. He is a human index of where great wine is located across personal cellars and (often older) restaurants.

    Went in for dessert on a random weekday night without reservations--the pot de chocolat was amazing. I can't wait to go back for dinner!

    The salmon dish, cooked on the outside and rare on the inside was phenomenal. The tastes are unique and it's got decent potions but it is expensive.

    Great food: loved the shrimp with cornbread and the cod. Service ok with a bit distant waiter. Music too loud and overall very noisy makes it hard to have a normal conversation during dinner

    They could easily open for breakfast, serve only the pancakes and be one of the best restaurants in the city.

    If things are at all hanging in the balance, lady-wise, a table here and some kimchi Snow Crab will keep you on the "not a mistake" side of her ledger. Read more

    After ordering the entire order at once, every dish would take around 40 minutes to get to our table. Dessert never made to our table and we decided to cancel that dish. Manager was the rudest ever!!!
