Atmosphere and location were extra ordinary. Food wise I was disappointed with my chicken and waffles because while the syrup was advertised as maple syrup, at best it was corn syrup which almost ruined the dish. Not only is it false advertising but an insult because Quebec is the world’s major producer of maple syrup. Please do better!!

This restaurant was amazing. Great staff, excellent customer service. Our host/waiter was Kadeem! He was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable with the right wine pair for the meals, his recommendations for entrée were spot on. Every selection looked amazing and fulfilling. I recommend this restaurant and if you get Kadeem as your wait staff consider you night a plus and complete 😉 😀

Excellent service , for the most part (until my coffee was forgotten and we had to ask for it twice). Can’t give it 5 stars for food though. It was good don’t get me wrong, but not 5 star good. A little overpriced for what we had. Steak tartare was meh…not much flavor, as was the crab cake. 3 people for dinner, entrees, cocktails, dinner and dessert with one bottle wine cost me 625$. This place had been on my list to try for a while. Glad I went but don’t know if I’d go back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—we truly appreciate you visiting us and giving us a try after having us on your list. I’m very glad to hear that you found the service excellent overall, but I sincerely apologize for the oversight with your coffee. That’s certainly not the level of attentiveness we aim to provide. I’m also sorry to hear that some of the dishes, particularly the steak tartare and crab cake, did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in our menu, and your feedback has been shared with our culinary team so we can continue to improve. We understand that dining with us is an investment, and we always strive to ensure the experience reflects that. It’s disappointing to hear that we fell short for you on this occasion. That said, we’re truly glad you gave us a try, and we would welcome the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Restaurant Henri Management.

Good food. Nice setting in old Birks store. Can get noisy for a business lunch. Service typically good. Nice crowd.

I do not typically write reviews of restaurants, but I felt particularly implored to do so after experiencing such terrible service. To save my time as well as anyone reading, I'll simply put it in bullet form. -Food was quite good, but lacking in quantity. 22ish dollars for a slice of French toast is almost criminal. -Service was molasses-like slow and for the most part non- existent. It took the entire duration of the meal to get a refill of water. Zero attention to detail. -The Maître d, Maxime, was not warm at all, where I felt almost like a second class citizen, seeing other clients being served even if they had ordered after us. We ordered a salad and a French toast respectively, but a whole table of 4 was served their hot meals well before ours. -Care was not consistent as the table beside us had the courtesy of regular coffee and water refills. -Less than stellar seating even when there was ample room in the restaurant. Save your time and money.

I used to adore this place, but my recent visit was a letdown after a considerable absence. On December 31st, 2023, I visited for brunch with my significant other, anticipating a great experience. While the waiter was amiable and described the food options well, the actual meal left much to be desired. For starters, we had 6 fresh oysters and a delightful soup. However, our usual order of eggs benedict with smoked salmon and the hanger steak was shockingly disappointing. Despite previous satisfying visits, the quality, portion size, and presentation were all notably subpar this time. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos to illustrate. The eggs benedict arrived on small yellow bread with the salmon scattered around the plate, lacking the usual salad and appearing notably smaller. It felt like a fraction of what they used to serve and resembled something from an average all-inclusive hotel in Cuba. The hanger steak, ordered medium rare, arrived overcooked and resembling a brick. The fries were flavorless and overdone, a far cry from what one might expect. I returned it, opting for my usual steak tartare, but to my dismay, that too was disappointing - dry and lacking in taste, with an unappealing presentation. When I inquired about the drastic change in quality, the manager informed me they had changed chefs. While I refrained from stating it, it seemed apparent they should consider replacing the new chef swiftly. Even the dishes served to others nearby lacked appeal. The manager offered three small pastries to compensate for the inconvenience. Considering the $200 CAD bill (inclusive of a surprising $66 for two glasses of champagne, totaling $87 with tax and tip), it felt inadequate. Montreal boasts numerous exceptional brunch spots, and unfortunately, this one won't make it back on my list unless I hear promising reviews in the future. I give it 1 star for price vs quality.

Excellent meal. Started with cocktails (souvenir and epiceree) - both were top shelf. Steaks for two family members (ribeye was extremely flavourful; filet mignon was tender as expected). Other members had the the sea bass and the salmon - also expertly finished. Everything was plated well and was accompanied by equally good sides. Desserts were top notch. Highly recommend!

Kind of disappointed. Was really looking forward to eating here. We were a group celebrating a birthday. Food was overall good, some dishes better than others. My braised beef was good but not anything to write home about. Service was friendly and very attentive at first, but quickly tapered off. We were waiting forever for dessert. When it came time to pay, the server demanded a minimum of 18%, which I was going to do anyways, but the way this was broached could have been done more elegantly. We were a group, so as is typical, were the last ones to leave. When retrieving our coats from the coat check, the servers just took them all and plunked them on the desk so we felt very rushed. I understand they want to go home, but there are better ways to communicate that message.. The venue is beautiful but the restaurant seems to just be missing a few key details to be excellent.

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant during my stay at the hotel, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The kitchen hours are clearly listed online as closing at 10:00 PM on Saturday, while the restaurant itself remains open until midnight. However, when I attempted to walk in at 9:35 PM, I was refused service. The staff was quite rude and initially provided no explanation. After returning to show the posted hours online, I was simply told that the kitchen hours “change sometimes” and that they were already closed. No apology was offered, nor was any alternative proposed. As a hotel guest, I would have expected at least some accommodation — whether honoring the posted hours, offering a reduced menu, or simply handling the situation with professionalism and courtesy. Overall, the lack of communication and hospitality was disappointing, especially within a hotel environment where guest service should be a priority.

Had a great first experience and decided to come back a second time. It did not disappoint! The server was very kind and took the time to explain the menu, which I really appreciated. I love the variety on the menu. There’s something for everyone. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming.

It’s very nice in here, but it is SO loud. I wouldn’t recommend for a work meeting - you won’t be able to hear anything.

Made reservations for breakfast on St Valentine’s Day. Waited 15 minutes for coffee. Complained to the maitre D and got no acknowledgment. Hence we walked out and got better service at Roselys( no reservation).

Thank you for your feedback Pompeo. we sincerely regret that your Valentine's day breakfast experience did not meet your expectations.

While that morning was exceptionally busy, this does not excuse the shortcomings you described. Your comment have been shared with our leadership team for review.

I had a business lunch there a few weeks ago and the food and service were excellent. The Joue de Boeuf Braisée was perfectly cooked, and the chocolate fondant for dessert was delicious.
