"it was a meal. I loved all my previous experiences at their location in west island. it was my first time in her city. it was a Saturday night after an event in the bell center. we arrived at 945. the restaurant was almost empty, 2 tables of about 6 guests and a few. most employees sat and chat in a stand at the end of the restaurant near the kitchen. They seemed upset when we arrived. it was my hope to extend my evening with my mother after the bell center show for her birthday. she ordered a French wobbles soup and pommes, and I ordered a prime rib (which is always my way to cut at her other place.) my mother had commented that the fact that mozzarella cheese was used would knock the cheese instead of the expected result, but the waiter assured her that it was appreciated by others. the meal arrived quite fast. the presentation was bad. my steak was very fat and was a deep brown tone. my mother's soup was excessively salty and the cheese had clumped in the did in a Galician blob. the pommes seemed to be abandoned and reheated for us. my steak at least tasted decent. 20 min after the reception of our meal comes the waiter to check us, my mother gave him an honest review of her order, gave a heartbeat, but nothing came from it. I was surprised that it took so long until he came back, especially as so few patrons were there. I guess I've been pampered at her DDO site for years, I expected more of it from the chain. I have come to realize that their standards for quality, presentation and service are location-specific rather than part of the chain philosophy. with so many wonderful other restaurants to try in the interior of montreal, I will skip it next time or go to their superior version in ddo."
