Just dined at this new restaurant in Montreal. Although it is way too early to judge this table (only in its first week), here are some first impressions:

-Service: of top level, on this dinner (attentive, courteous, great balance between formal and casual)

-Food: technically without any particular flaw (cooking well timed, modern presentation where it needs to, slightly more rustic where it has to). The cooking of meats (had a superb veal filet and their lamb rabbit ragu was succulent) seems to be their strength. They just need to be a bit less liberal with the salt (some of the dishes were a tad over-salted, although still packed with great flavors).

-Decor: lovely contemporary setting, with comfy chairs, plenty of wood and granite, you can look inside the kitchen through a big glass window.
