Restaurant Tbsp. — Restaurant in Montreal

Very slow service despite the restaurant being half empty. Brought clients there for a 3 course meal and we were pretty disappointed. The food is pretty good, you can tell it’s quality ingredients and well thought out dishes but it was generally agreed that multiple dishes were too salty. Our party of 13 was seated and ready to order at 7pm and we only got dessert served at 10:15pm. We had booked weeks in advance, had to come in person to pay a deposit, got called multiple times to confirm and still had very slow service. They also missed one of the main courses and someone sat there without a meal while everyone ate. Minor thing also, a waiter dipped one plate too far on one side while serving and 1/2 the liquid buttery pasta sauce fell on the table and on someone’s plate. It’s ok, those things happen, and luckily also the sauce fell in the place of someone else with the same dish. Those vey flat plates are probably very hard to serve in. Also they were confused about the desserts. It was either “cannolo” or brownie. Cannolo had “cheesecake” as description. Some people ordered saying cheesecake and some cannolo. Some people got a square piece of cheesecake and some got a cannoli. When someone brought it up to the attention of the staff, they denied that they had confused desserts and insisted that both were on the menu (which is probably true on their regular menu but not on our limited big group menu). They then suggested we share the desserts with other people who got what we wanted. (??) The food was fine but really worth it for $100+ per person bill. You could tell some of the serving staff was trying their best too but idk if it’s poor management, an improperly staffed kitchen or what but something is not working properly. Not a bad experience, we had fun, but they cannot handle big groups. Would also not suggest it for business lunch/dinners. I’m not typically one to complain much but when it’s such an expensive meal c’mon you...

NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!! What a disgrace to our beautiful Downtown Montreal!!! Our group of ladies decided to come celebrate a birthday brunch and have a great time. Before deciding to make a reservation, the place was googled and we thought it would be the best place to spend a great time together. Little did we know that the staff and management would be so mediocre. As we were waiting for the rest of the party to arrive, one of our friends got 3 mimosas and 1 mojito all over her by the waitress, it all went directly to her white satin blouse, her jeans, her well done hair and what can I say about her underwear! The staff barely apologized for the incident, didn’t even provide extra napkins to dray my friend’s clothes, they cleaned the floor with a disgusting, dirty and stinky mop, YUKKKK imagine how nasty their kitchen is 🤢 My other friend got her Gucci bag and wool jacket wet too and with ice cubes inside of her bag, none the less, we still decided to have a good time and somehow be comprehensible and give them the opportunity to make it up somehow. To our surprise, not only she did not get the well deserved apology but she got a full bill including all the drinks. After arguing for such obviously reasons, this place’s poor management still made my friend pay not only for her entire bill, but she now has to pay her dry cleaning bill and a hair salon visit. UNACCEPTABLE! And the food and service is not worth the price of each plate. Do yourself a favour and choose another place to have a good time, you might find yourself with a not so pleasant surprise at Tbsp. NOT...

I would not recommend this restaurant. Our experience began with parking; we were informed that leaving our car near the restaurant entrance was not possible and directed to use the valet service at the neighboring W hotel for $25. However, we managed to find free parking about 40 meters away from the restaurant on our own.The quality of the food was rather disappointing. We mistakenly ordered beef carpaccio, only to find out that the restaurant did not offer such a dish; it was actually beet carpaccio listed on the menu. Despite our error, the waiter accepted our request without clarification and brought us beets instead, which was frustrating. Furthermore, when we ordered a dish described as beef steak, what we received was beef cut into pieces and overcooked. Additionally, the prices for kids' drinks (non-alcoholic Shirley Temple & mojito) were equivalent to those of a glass of beer, which seemed unreasonable. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only ten of us for dinner, we were surprised to find an additional 18% charge on the bill for the large group size. Furthermore, the waitstaff included their gratuity in the check without consulting us, which felt presumptuous.In summary, the total price on the bill was exorbitant, considering the subpar quality of the food. We left feeling deeply disappointed; it was a regrettable experience. Don't be swayed by the attractive photos. It is difficult to call this...
