California Pizza
We had pizza and a pitcher of sangria. The sangria just tasted like rotten juice - in a very bad way. The drinks even tasted cheap. The pizza was bland for a place that was supposed to specialize in pizza. It was the Grand Prix weekend in... +
We had pizza and a pitcher of sangria. The sangria just tasted like rotten juice - in a very bad way. The drinks even tasted cheap. The pizza was bland for a place that was supposed to specialize in pizza.
It was the Grand Prix weekend in Montreal so the restaurant was expected to be busy. We thought we were lucky to find a place that was only half full because we thought we would get faster service. We were wrong. Even with the restaurant being half full, and enough waitresses to tend one person per table, the service was soooo slow.

My first time there, I was almost thinking of ordering an appetizer too. Good thing we did not because we already had to take home a lot of food from our dinner.
I already know what I want to try next: the steak tartare! mmm....
It is a bit expensive for my budget so pace yourself.

Interesting combo which makes me borderline wonder about how I feel about this place. This used to be one of my favourite hangouts until my friends and I could no longer afford it. A couple of years ago, you could get a classic mason jar of cocktail for $15 plus tip. Now, it is $19.
Situation happened when we went as a big group and the bar and did not know that the prices were raised by 27%!! My friend who only brought a $20 bill with him got yelled at by the waiter for his $1 tip. It seemed that he was not careful enough to see that the prices have changed in his usual order so he really only had that much left to tip and the waiter was so incredibly rude and tried to embarrassed him as much as possible. It was only his friends but this could potentially have been something else.
The waiter's words were: Usually, you have to tip more than $1 because $1 is telling me that you do not like this drink (which was made by the bartender, not him...) You are telling me that this is bad quality.
My friend responds that he has not even tasted the product yet so how could he know that it is good quality or bad quality. The waiter stayed there and looked all around the table as if he was expecting someone else to pay him extra tip (for his rudeness and uncomfortable presence).
This bar is already one of the most expensive in town. Over time, they have really let their reputation slide downhill...

I disliked the manners of the waiter that we had. The service was slow and his attitude towards the customers were shocking. The food was also bland in comparison to Asian food. Lastly, the prices did not match the value. Being a restaurant located in Old Montreal, an expensive part of town, this place has bench marked itself with other more deserving fine-dining restaurants. Hiking the prices for the prime location is not enough for me to come back to this place. -
