That was a 5 stars experience to me and my friend. We had two drinks, both very good.We both had steak tartare for starter (hands down the best tartare I've ever had) which was a pretty decent portion. Then we had two plates of pasta: I purposely picked the simplest one: paccheri with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, pepper and basil, so you can really tell the quality of the ingredients. It was heavenly, the paccheri were cooked to perfection. My friend had a more elaborate pasta (can't remember now) and it was ridiculously good. We had dessert and the bill was 230$, plus I left 22% tip because the staff was amazing: very attentive and professional without being too stiff as you see in some places that confuse 'high-end experience' with bloated stiffness and too much form. We felt pampered and looked after, just great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also beautifully balanced: we got greeted by a really lovely girl who made us feel immediately at home, and took our coats. The interior design is classy and elegant (and I mean elegant, not douchy-bro-gold-chain "elegant"), soft lights and a pleasant crowd on the younger side. I'm taking my girlfriend next week, absolutely loved it. Definitely came for the name (I love the movie) but stayed for the quality of the food and staff. Thank you guys!

We had an amazing overall dining experience at Dorsia tonight. Did the 4 course tasting menu, all of the dishes were fantastic, the decor is beautiful, and service here was flawless. This truly is a special restaurant to visit for a special occasion, we were blown away tonight and would highly recommend it here!

Phenomenal experience at Dorsia!. While it was a pre-set menu for valentine's day, it did not disappoint. The highlight however, is the attentive staff, be it the servers, hostesses or mixologist, they all distinguished themesleves with their care and attention to detail. Special shout-out to Sebastien at the bar, who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable- made our experience memorable.

We went there, the night before Valentine‘s day, to celebrate our anniversary, the ambiance was impressive and chic. Our server Guillaume was very professional and competent. We ordered the steak tartare, the agnolotti, the cavatelli and the wagyu striploin, and everything was delicious, but the pasta specifically stood out. We also had the matchatini and the lychee martini and were really tasty. Also, Maude and all the other servers, runners, and bussers were all extremely attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants a wonderful dining experience in Old Port.

I will leave my original review up so you can understand why we returned. My first experience was so positive that I gathered some friends to return and what a disappointment. From the moment we arrived it was a terrible, terrible experience.From the way we were poorly greeted, to all dishes being barely warm, and pretty bland, it was like a totally different restaurant. Yet the price was super steep so for that reason I would no longer recommend Dorsia. We did share with management our genuine disappointment so hopefully they can level back up .. in the meantime, there are too many other amazing places to eat in Montreal! An incredible evening and meal! This restaurant delivers on all fronts, chic ambiance, attentive staff, superb cocktails (especially the limencello martini), and incredible food! Not a surprise that they are en route to a Michelin Star. Well deserved!

Great meal at Dorsia. Love the environment and the service is really good my only suggestion is to be faster coming around to ask if guests want their bill, we waited a loong time for ours.

The atmosphere was nice. The food was really good , however the service was a bit slow. We had to wait almost an hour for our main. I would recommend to try the tiramisu dessert for sure!

Phenomenal dining experience. Refined yet relaxed atmosphere and decor. Server Guillaume was the best waiter I have had in a restaurant, very attentive and knowledgeable. Food was exceptional. Delicious variety of appetizers (I recommend the Mille fueille with chicken liver mousse) and pasta. Both seafood and steaks were cooked and seasoned excellently. Cocktails were very good as well, with a broad selection of wine, my personal favorite was the Negroni with olives. Dessert left much to be desired was our only gripe with this other excellent restaurant. Bathrooms and facilities were also in notably great condition. This was one of the best dining experiences all around I've ever had. This restaurant alone can make a trip to Montreal worth it.

Had a good experience at Dorsia. Heard a lot about it and was happy to try it out. First of all - the place is truly beautiful, well designed and tasteful layout. The service was good. We tried a few different dishes. The highlight was the red beet agnolotti and tuna carpaccio were standout dishes: unique presentation, texture and flavours.

Yummy yummy food, wine and cocktails, too bad they made us feel rushed during the meal because we had to free the table for the next group. Server tried pulling my plate away before I even finished. Long wait between services.
