I’ve always genuinely enjoyed coming here, which is why this experience felt a bit disappointing. To start on a positive note, our service at the table was excellent—our waiter was attentive, warm, and really added to the evening. My own dish, the ris de veau, was very good and lived up to what I’ve come to expect. However, some of my friends didn’t have the same experience with their meals. One found the portion size quite small, and there were comments that the vegetables were overly firm, which took away from their enjoyment. What stayed with me most, though, was how the evening ended. We moved to the back bar to celebrate a friend’s birthday with one last drink, hoping to keep the good energy going. Unfortunately, the atmosphere there felt quite unwelcoming. We had the sense of being overlooked, and it was difficult to get any attention from the staff. It left us feeling a bit dismissed at a moment that was meant to be special. I’m sharing this because I’ve had such positive experiences here before, and I know how wonderful it can be. I hope this feedback is helpful, as I would truly love for future visits to reflect the high standard I’ve come to associate with your restaurant.

Hello Mr. Raper, Thank you for your visit yesterday, and thank you also for taking the time to write to us. We are pleased that you enjoyed your meal. Regarding your friend who found his plate too small, we are very sorry, but it is difficult for us to respond, as we don't know what he ordered. Certain luxury items such as scallops, foie gras, and sweetbreads would simply be prohibitively expensive in large portions, and we believe that in order to cater to a wider range of appetites and budgets, some plates have to be smaller than others. Nevertheless, our plates are generous and very reasonably priced compared to the market. Your server can advise you on portion sizes and guide you towards the right choice for your appetite; please let us know. Furthermore, regarding the group moving to the narrow, adjoining back bar area, it was perhaps a bit intrusive to arrive there as a group without prior notice. Our commitment is to provide warm service to all our guests, and I believe we have done so with you. This is a restaurant, and maintaining a refined atmosphere for all our guests is essential to the experience we aim to offer. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Best regards,

After having an amazing experience eating there a few years ago, every time I am in Montreal, I make a special trip to the Rose Ross. This time, we had the "4 services" menu. I had a delightful white rum cocktail -- called Panango maybe -- with praline syrup (who knew!) to start. The food was superb -- from the amuse bouche that looked like a tiny empanada, through the main course of almost-melt-in-your-mouth Ballotine de lapin. Our server was lovely and quick to answer all of our questions. Additionally, I find the atmosphere and very imaginative faux-train-car decor distinctly relaxing and pleasant. I'm pleased to see that the restaurant has expanded into the spot next door -- I hope to try out that side the next time I'm in town.

Outstanding table d'hôte and wine pairing. Excellent service, fresh, seasonal local plates and great wine recommendations. One of my faves in Montreal. Chloe was a delight👌 and made us have a memorable dinner experience.
