Chez Lien — Restaurant in Montreal

I have not been to this restaurant in years as I moved from MTL to TOR. I was down for the weekend and stopped by, unfortunately they weren't opened yet but I had the pleasure of speaking to the lady that worked there, I let her know that I would ALWAYS eat here as a kid growing up and LOVED the food and that I came down from Toronto and she was ready to prep me up some food right then and there despite being closed! I will ALWAYS share this restaurant with my family & friends as not only is the food great but the staff is the BEST!

Thank you for...

Good and affordable dishes. However, the service from the owner was terrible. On the door, it says that the restaurant closes at 10:30pm. We got there at 8:30pm and felt rushed throughout our entire meal to finish. We were given the menus and a minute later, the owner comes to take our order. He came back 2 more times within 2 minutes to ask if we were ready... During the meal, he came to take plates from our table that were not finished yet. At 9:30pm, we were told that they were closed and asked to go pay at the cash. Will not be...

JAMAIS J'AI ÉTÉ AUSSI MAL SERVIE qu'a cette endroit. Pour débuter personne te dit bonjour même si le resto est très peu achalander. Lorsque le serveur ouvre notre bouteille de vin il lance le bouchon sur la table...pas déposer...LANCER......Ma soupe ne goûte absolument rien et il n'y a pas de sauce soya ni Sciracha sur aucune table. Mais le comble est que nous sommes presque prête a partir et le serveur demande à la personne qui est assise à la table si il peut laver la table.......WOW..........deux minutes et nous étions partie, il aurait pu attendre. Je lui demande si il est le patron et il me répond que non...j'avais presque envie de lui dire alors c quoi l'idée de paniquer pcq ton jeune serveur (qui en passant lui était très poli et gentil) à accepter ma carte de crédit alors qu'il n'était pas au courant que vous preniez seulement interac pour pas qu'on vous charge 20% de frais. ET en plus moi trop gentille j'ai laissée 15% de pourboire mais avant qu'on se fasse demander de quitter la table avant d'ëtre prête a partir. ÇA NE MÉRITE MÊME PAS...
