1 hour to receive appetizers, music too loud, 30 minutes to receive water when requested, mediocre food, and to top it off, we decided to leave after almost 2 hours because the main courses had not arrived, and the waitress still added a tip to the bill without telling us, or even letting us choose whether to give one.
4.8/5? No idea how that's possible. We arrived at 5:35 PM. We were told they opened at 6:00 PM. (It says 5:30 PM on the door and on Google). Upon returning, no one at the counter. We could see people behind the kitchen doors. Even other customers tried to get attention and no one came out. We ordered on the machine, but the menu was not the same as at the counter. No curly fries, and misleading AI photos. No one came out until the food was ready. I ordered an extra 2 chicken tenders, I was told it was in my burger... With chicken. The extra mac n cheese tasted like water... We will not be returning. No music or ambiance.
A bit pricy and small portion but delicious tacos. One of our order came out late because the server forgot to put it. A bit loud music and seemed to busy to ask staff for services on fridays.
10/10 across the board. Service, food, drinks, music, views - this place has it all.
15 minutes after arriving at a practically empty restaurant. No service. The bartender looked at us several times and we were sitting at the bar! The staff (4 people) were more busy chatting among themselves than taking care of their customers. It's really disappointing because this place used to be really nice. I order a glass of wine, the first glass is so dirty that there are things floating in it. I ask for a second one and guess what? The second one is dirty too! Otherwise, the place is beautiful and pleasant. The music is not too loud.
A must-see during my business trips. Calm atmosphere, subdued lighting, beautiful music, delicious cocktails and comforting food. The staff are also very courteous and the place is clean as well as nicely decorated. A stone's throw from Place Bonaventure and the metro. To try! You won't be disappointed.
A bit challenging to find Bivouac in the hotel…..rather unpleasant hostess…..delightful server…..very good food (tomato tart, rainbow trout and cod)….very noisy and very loud music. Not sure I would return because of the volume.
A cold cold place in service and prices for a random visitor. I thought this place was a decent Peruvian restaurant but wasn't at all. It was just one of those bars loud and overpriced downtown. I was asked to take a seat at the edge of the counter facing the cashier surrounded a pile of receipts and people to pay there.
A feast of flavors with small dishes, tapas style, to share. It is expensive but the cuisine is excellent and the service efficient. Unfortunately the restaurant is extremely noisy. It's better to come at the end of the shift. It is unpleasant that the restaurant does not answer phone calls that go to its answering machine.
7 of us dined at Milos mid week in December. Milos is on Avenue Du Parc in Montreal where parking is notoriously difficult. Even more so in winter when the streets are covered in snow. I would strongly recommend the valet service or have Uber bring you. We reserved for 6:30pm and the restaurant was already very busy. We were seated promptly and our server was very efficient in getting water to the table. We chose to order family style for the table to expedite the process. It absolutely helps when your host is a regular and knows the menu secrets, but equally I would trust your server to amaze you with a great selection of dishes. To start with we ordered some tomato salad (greek salad to most folks), seared octopus and hummus, calamari and the Milos Special - Paper thin zucchinis and eggplants, lightly fried, Saganaki cheese, tzatziki. It is really really good! We then ordered a whole fish baked in sea salt. Our choice was a Mediterranean Sea Bass. It was perhaps the most tender and succulent fish I have ever had. We accompanied that with some Lamb Chops - they were perfectly cooked, exceptional quality and needed no sauces or dressings. With some hand cut potatoes, grilled vegetables and salad on the side we had a meal that was outstanding. To round out the evening, Milos deserts are great. Baklava ice cream, Greek yoghurt and honey, Galaktoboureko ( a Vanilla and lemon zest custard in layered phyllo) and Ekmek Kataifo (a ‘’shredded phyllo’’ layered with custard cream and homemade Chantilly topped with pistachios) may just blow your mind! Milos has an extensive wine cellar and your serve4 can recommend some perfect pairings. Milos is an amazing restaurant. It is busy - don’t expect much space around your table. Don’t expect a quiet atmosphere. The quality of food and service is exceptional. While they do have outlets around the world, this is the original and best.
A balmy terrasse, the sounds of Greek music, aromas of calimari, lamb, tzadiki andthe like, make for an enhanted summer evening. This spot has been in Montreal's Plateau district for years and still does not disappoint. We were a party of 4, shared a bunch of hugely portioned appetizers and mains, and had a haul to take home. Def. requires reservations on summer weekends for the terrasse, which is graced with real trees growing right beside your table!
A beautiful restaurant, tastefully decorated with Afghan art and beautiful music, offering very good dishes from the chef and owner of the restaurant, Nila; our favorites: dumplings (Manto), cucumber salad and diced tomatoes (Salat Afghani), lamb shank, rice, and Afghan pastry, all washed down with our own wine (Bring Your Wine Resto), all at a very reasonable price. The service is very friendly and the servers very concerned and their customers. A little jewel in the heart of the Mont-Royal plateau, 10 minutes walk from Mont-Royal metro station. An experience we are sure to repeat on our next visit to Montreal. Thank you to the whole team of Window on Kabul!!!!
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
The food and drinks are great, and the service is attentive. However when the restaurant is full/busy it is unbearably loud. You have to yell at each other to have any type of conversation.

Dorsia absolutely exceeded expectations. We originally stopped in just for drinks, no plans for a full dinner but despite being a group of six, they were incredibly accommodating and welcomed us without hesitation. What started as a casual stop turned into the best experience of the night. We began with drinks, and every single one was exceptional beautifully crafted, balanced, and memorable. After taking a look at the menu, most of us couldn’t resist and ended up ordering food as well and I’m so glad we did. The dishes were truly outstanding, easily matching the quality of the cocktails. One standout for me personally was the pickled stuffed olives completely mind-blowing and unexpectedly one of the highlights of the night. The service elevated everything even further. Our server was kind, attentive, and gave excellent recommendations throughout the evening. But what really made the experience unforgettable was Lucas. He handled our lively, chatty group with ease even as the restaurant quieted down and still managed to provide a personalized and thoughtful experience. He went out of his way to walk my friend through the variety of martinis they offer, which was a really nice touch. Dorsia delivers on every level drinks, food, and service. What started as a spontaneous visit turned into a night we’ll all remember. Definitely a top-tier spot and one I’d highly recommend.

THE GOOD: Really friendly front-of-house person and waiters. Delicious food (I had the lamb). THE BAD: Unexpectedly, our dinner featured a singer. He did 2 or 3 sets, circulating between the tables. Nicely sung jazz standards and vintage French chansons. Thing is, the sound system was so loud that we had difficulty carrying on our conversation. We were there to eat and chat, not to attend a concert. I spoke to the person who seemed to be in charge and politely requested that he turn the volume down. He said this was impossible as the sound system was "parametrisé". I pointed out that this did not sound plausible, and anyway that we, not the singer, were the paying customers. This did not change his mind, so I said I would leave a bad review.

We walked over to dinner here primarily because it was nearby and the online reviews seemed good. Our server was very warm and attentive. The ambiance is nicer than some of the other restaurants nearby, and we enjoyed the soul music. I wasn’t hungry for a main dish, so I just had the French onion soup, which was good despite seeming a bit sweet. My fiancé enjoyed his lamb, as well.
