Great experience with our server Rahman. We just snuck in off Rue Catherine having been in town a matter of hours to try and have a nice dinner. They have us a table right by the street where we could enjoy the ambience of both the restaurant and the street. Drinks, food, and people were lovely. Would recommend!

Rahman was phenomenal and provided fantastic service. Very social and accommodated our questions and service substitutions, while checking in to ensure we had a great experience. Food was excellent, came out quick, and my coffee was a waterfall of deliciousness. Prices were even better than what we pay at home out of province. Keep up to great work, we'll be back.

I love coming to Universal, it’s easily one of my favorite breakfast spots. I honestly didn’t think it could get any better… until we had Sabrina as our waitress. She was incredible. She seemed to anticipate exactly what we needed before we even asked, which made the whole experience feel effortless and elevated. I can’t stress this enough, she is THE BEST. Sabrina alone took an already great place and made it exceptional. I’ll definitely be back, and I’ll be hoping to get her again.
