We had a wonderful time on the beautiful rooftop terrace on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The view was spectacular, the food was great and the service was outstanding from start to finish. A special thank you to Philippe, our server, who made the experience even more enjoyable with his attentive and professional service. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.

This is a touristy spot known for the views of Montreal. While the views are good of the water and city, they are only viewable from one end of the restaurant. If you don’t get seated at that end, your experience is just of a nice, open air, rooftop restaurant. Overall, with or without the views, the restaurant is good and lively. Service is on the slower side but not too slow. The drinks and food are good quality - tried both mocktail options as well as the grilled zucchini and all were good. If you’re going to this spot just for the views/hype, it will meet expectations just be sure to ask for the correct area for seating. Note that the bar doesn’t have any views. If you’re just looking for a good rooftop restaurant, there are likely better options.

We came here to celebrate the graduation of my friends. The food was HORRIBLE. They charged 38$ for it and it was dry and so mid that i’d find a better burger at a fast food restaurant. I don’t mind paying 73$ for a sangria but atleast give me something special and authentic, not the same pitcher that is served at any other restaurant for half that price. How can I enjoy the terrace when the food is bad and the drink is mid. NOT WORTH IT

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am incredibly sorry to read about your experience, and I can completely understand your frustration, especially knowing that you chose to visit us to celebrate such a special occasion as your friend's graduation. You have every right to expect an exceptional culinary experience, especially at the price points you mentioned. Serving a dry $38 burger that feels inferior to fast food, and a $73 pitcher of sangria that lacks any special or authentic touch, is entirely unacceptable. We completely failed to deliver the quality, value, and memorable experience you deserved to accompany our terrace view. I take full responsibility for these severe shortcomings. I am taking your comments regarding the quality of our burgers and the execution of our sangria very seriously, and I am addressing this directly with our kitchen and bar teams to correct the situation immediately. Best regards,

Our host tonight was Dominique. 10/10 service. We went to celebrate my partners Birthday and he was extremely welcoming. The food was to die for. Lobster rolls are highly recommended. Definitely visiting this place again.

Overall a pretty good experience! Apitizers were dicious and came out relatively quick. The katzu sandwich was interesting, most likely would not get it again. Only complaint was the drinks were slow to come out, took roughly 20 minutes to get our first round. Overall, with the view you get on the terrace I would return.

ear Connor, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your 4-star review! I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed our delicious appetizers and the beautiful view from the terrace. We also appreciate your honest thoughts on the Katsu sandwich, as client feedback is always helpful for us. However, I sincerely apologize for the 20-minute wait you experienced for your first round of drinks. You have every right to expect prompt, efficient service, and we clearly fell short of our standards during your visit. I take full responsibility for this delay and will be addressing it with our bar and service teams to ensure our drink service remains consistently swift. We are thrilled that you plan to return for the view, and we absolutely look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back and provide you with a flawless experience from start to finish!

Came from Toronto specifically for this place and booked two days in advance, only to get a call 3 hours before our reservation saying they were fully booked and that even if we showed up, there wouldn’t be a table available. Very disappointing experience and poor reservation management.

Dear Fjolla, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am incredibly sorry to read about your experience, and I can completely understand your immense disappointment, especially knowing you traveled all the way from Toronto to visit us. Calling you just three hours before your scheduled arrival to cancel your booking is entirely unacceptable. You have every right to be frustrated, and I take full responsibility for this severe failure in our reservation management. We completely let you down, and for that, I sincerely apologize.

Okay so I literally never write reviews. I've been living in Montreal for years and this is genuinely the first time I've felt like I needed to. I live in the Old Port, like 5 minutes from here, so trust me when I say I've been to pretty much every terrace and restaurant in the area. And honestly most of them it's all about just the location and the atmosphere. You sit down, the drinks taste like they forgot the alcohol, the servers are nowhere to be found, and you're just paying for the view. That's kind of the norm around here. Nelligan completely caught me off guard. Like, I did not expect this. HATS OFF TO Amélie & Valter!!!!!!!!!!!! These two were absolutely unreal. Not just good service, I mea the kind where you actually feel taken care of. Warm, attentive, genuinely friendly + always there. And Sarah popped in a few times too and was equally great. The whole team clearly has a standard and it shows. The drinks were also properly made, which sounds like a low bar but if you know the Old Port restaurant scene you know that's actually rare. I really can't say enough good things. This place is the real deal and I'll definitely be back.
