The whole time my husband and I were there we had very poor service. It took more than 15 minutes for us to have someone take our order. From there once we received the food roughly 20 minutes later the waiter and waitress did not check in on us once. Never came to ask how we are enjoying the meal or if they can bring us anything. Once we finished our meals the servers never once came by to clear our table and remove the dishes. They never offered us a desert menu and never approached us. This is the worst service I have ever received, especially for a Michelin star restaurant. We had to wave down a waiter to get a bill, otherwise it seems like no one would've came and ask or check. The food was mediocre at best, we had the chicken wings to share which was decent. But my husband had the steak and it was not very good, he noted it was cooked strangely and it was chewy. The flavors did not make sense with chutney and Szechuan. And I had the market price fish and it was tasty at the time but later that night I had been glued to the toilet. The whole time I've been at Montreal and eaten all sorts of food this is the only place that made me feel sick physically after. I also noticed that after my husband and I left that there was a coat check at the front, something nobody offered us? We noticed that the other tables received proper service having servers checking in on them regularly. And we were practically ignored the entire time we were at the restaurant. We were going to get a desert but no one came to check on us for more than 20 minutes that we just wanted to leave. Either way this is the worst service I've received anywhere, nonetheless a Michelin star restaurant. The food was mediocre, I will never come back to this restaurant and will never recommend anyone to come here.
Reviews / Ratings for Cadet
Tried this place last night and overall it was a mixed experience. The restaurant itself is very nice and the atmosphere is enjoyable. The sommelier recommended a bottle of wine that we really liked; however, after asking to see two bottles around the $85 range, we were presented with one priced at $120. We decided to go with it and did enjoy the wine, but the upsell was a bit surprising. We ordered four dishes to share. We started with the butternut squash, which was pretty good and well prepared. The lamb T-bone was very tasty and well seasoned, but unfortunately about half of it was fat, which took away from the enjoyment. When we mentioned this to our waitress, she was very professional and immediately offered for us to choose another item from the menu at no charge, which we appreciated. The side of fingerling potatoes, however, was undercooked and disappointing. We finished with the chocolate tart, which was excellent and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, there were some strong points, and the service handled the issue with the lamb very well, but a few execution and value concerns kept it from being a great experience.
Food was amazing. Good tapas. 4-5 plates needed for 2 people. So you get to try a lot of different dishes.
I enjoyed a fairly quick and also satisfying meal at Cadet. The service was quick and very personable. The staff had asked specifically if I was heading to a performance or not so that they could put a rush on my dishes if needed. I settled on the focaccia bread, the zucchini starter, and the cod. Everything was absolutely delicious! Delicious! The only thing for me was that it did feel quite rushed and even with me sitting at the bar, it's didn't feel as cozy or as friendly as I had hoped.
10/10.
Found this restaurant on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list and it didn't disappoint. Food was excellent; service was impeccable.
Had a great time here for dinner. We were a big group and they were able to accomodate us well (service was excellent). I will be back here !
Great place for a hot date. No military presence.
Delicious!
