hussein sAugust 10, 2014Restaurant with jazz on weekends. Their dishes (burgers) are delicious. Very pleasant. Superb service. You can also watch some sport games. Good drinks. Kind of places where you would go back.

Elizabeth BasralianNovember 2, 2014the Robin Hood salad was an excellent variety of flavours. The paella was so-so. Mac-n-Cheese was made with Poutine curd cheese,interesting. As for local talent. I have cd from $tore that's better!!UpvoteDownvote

- Elizabeth BasralianNovember 2, 2014Menu on foursquare is NOT what the actual menu is for supper and lunch. The only right thing was the Griffontown burger. Disappointed not to get what we were hoping for.UpvoteDownvote
- JgreenzFebruary 12, 2012Ribs are very chewy - splurge on the pulled pork tacos instead!UpvoteDownvote
The hamburger is an amazing experience. Juicy, tender, full of taste. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Christine L.January 12, 2014Stay away! Waited for 45 minutes to be seated, then waited 20 minutes to get our lattes (they were cold). Had the Mac&Cheese, it was pretty much tasteless. Terrible service for a 60$ brunch.UpvoteDownvote
Janna HazeSeptember 1, 2013Used to consistently have the best brunch in montreal, but it seems they changed their dishes. Average food at best now. New owners maybe?UpvoteDownvote
KuualaJanuary 16, 2011Great selection of bourbons, and live jazz, blues, & bluegrass music.Upvote1Downvote
Kay AhmedJanuary 26, 2013Meh...brioche French toast was just okay. Mac 'n cheese lacked cheese and any flavor. Had high expectations but am leaving disappointed.UpvoteDownvote
Sebastien TremblayJune 29, 2013It almost got the looks of a good place but is far from having the taste of it. Expensive trendy trap. (And real slow service)UpvoteDownvote
