Exofood and amazing service. Nice romantic ambiance. Loved the place!
After reading & hearing so many outstanding reviews for this restaurant, I had high expectations going in. However, I didn't love my experience, and will likely not be back. To start, our waiter was lovely, but relatively absent throughout the evening. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed that night, but the restaurant was only about 60% full and we had difficulty flagging our waiter down. The salted caramel espresso martini I had was amazing, but unfortunately the rest of the food that followed was lackluster. We ordered the arugula salad, truffle fries, and octopus to start - everything was simply 'ok' - except for the octopus which was inedible and covered in some sort of congealed fat. The restaurant kindly covered 50% of the dish because they noticed we hadn't touched it, which was super appreciated! For our mains, I ordered the Gamberi Fra'Diavolo (spicy shrimp and spaghetti) and my fiancé ordered the pasta with lamb meat sauce, and both were solid, but we had to wait over 1.5 hours to receive our dishes. Again, the restaurant was not even close to capacity, and not once did our server come by and acknowledge the wait time. By the time we finished our mains, we just wanted to leave and not risk ordering dessert/coffee for fear of how long it would take. I wish we had had a more positive experience to report, but for the price - we did not find the service/food adequate. Maybe the restaurant was just having an off night, but there are no shortage of amazing Italian spots in Montreal which we would recommend instead of Bis!
Amazing food and service totally recommend!! Best homemade tomato sauce ever!
Always a warm welcome , food and service is always incredible . Always grab the specials of the day ! Espresso martinis are to die for !
We had a delicious meal and wonderful service from Partha. Great wine recommendation and food was amazing. We had seafood risotto, veal and carbonara. Would highly recommend for authentic Italian.
I was very disappointed, and embarrassed, in how one of our guests was treated. When he ordered a salad which was all he wanted to eat, the waiter told him that was not acceptable and he would have to order another dish as well. This kind of attitude is unacceptable when serving a table of 6 and everyone is ordering their meals (most with appetizers and main courses) along with cocktails.
A little Italian gem.
The food, service and atmosphere at Bis never disappoints. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
A very special place! Excellent food and the service is professional, yet friendly. Ambiance is cozy and romantic.
Have been here 4-5 times it is always a great experience
Food was really good, service was great but slightly slow, very quiet & easy to talk, almost too quiet lol, tables were close so you can hear other peoples’ conversations. Would recommend.
Great food and great service
Excellent attention to my gluten allergy. The know what they are doing!! Food was amazing !
The food and service was amazing. Everyone was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Hidden Gem!!!
Always amazing. Thank you Marcello for another amazing meal with fantastic service.
Amazing service!
Food was tasty and well presented. I was just a little disappointed with the wait staff. Maybe it was just the waiter that we had specifically. Everything felt very rushed. The communication from the waiter was very short and felt like he didn’t have much interest in listening to any questions. I have a gluten allergy and the communication in terms of what was gf was poor. Just a recommendation to get something grilled, and any follow up questions were brushed off. When I ordered a dessert and I asked if there was anything inside that would contain gluten It was once again a rushed answer. So when it arrived with a gluten containing ingredient, and I asked to have it remade, the response from the wait staff felt as if they were annoyed. I think overall it’s a good restaurant, my experience just didn’t feel very welcoming.
