As many negative as positive for the IL Martini Restaurant

I have a shared opinion regarding the IT Martini Restaurant, located in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville.
The food is good, the restaurant is large enough, the servers are friendly and the terrace, near a fountain, is magnificent.
But there were no details on the menu which forced me to ask several questions to the server that, fortunately, knew very well the various dishes.
The service was quite long and I made the jump when I received my plate of lobster ravioli which was excellent, but that contained only eight ravioli! Yes, you read that right: there were only eight in this pasta dish which I was charged $ 29.
The restaurant offers the possibility for some dishes, choose a half portion (which was not the case for my ravioli, we understand why). The person who accompanied me has ordered a half portion of cannelloni and received a plate containing only two small cannelloni with no accompaniment!
Fortunately, the waiter filled the basket of bread and small toasts with garlic as soon as it was emptied.
The fried calamari were good as was the red sauce that accompanies them.
Unlike food portions are small, if you order a glass of house wine, you get about 250 milliliters, which is more than in most other restaurants.
It offers different choices in its wine list.
Some entrees are offered at prices similar to the competition, while some others are more expensive. Entries are quite expensive. These include, for example, a Caesar salad to $ 10 shrimp cocktail and $ 22.
The menu includes several choices of pasta, dishes of shrimp and salmon and scallops and steaks.
The restaurant is separated into different sections including a small bar area.
I did not hate my visit to this restaurant, but I did not really appreciate either. I invite you to form your own opinion, but I can not recommend it highly or tell you to avoid it.
-Note: 6/10
-What Me most of my visit: there were no details on the menu and there were only eight ravioli on my plate
