This was our 'sentence filler' that was suggested by the host of the restaurant we were about to…read moredine in while waiting for our table. See Urbanista as a happy-go-lucky spot in the Plateau Mont-Royal area where music keeps playing and smiles don't stop. Their style is mish-mash but comes together in their own funky way: Cabbage Patch Doll perched up on a shelf, some small decorative palm trees and tchotchkes everywhere. The bar looked is stocked with a nice arsenal of bottles but our Midori Sour and hubs' Jack & Coke drinks were pure juice and no strength. To add, when I tried using my Yelp check-in offer, I was told that they didn't know anything about the offer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Plus it was almost upsetting that they thought I wanted a 'free' drink when it was actually an 'offer' their business put out. Anyhow. The owner(?) was pleasant and even though she didn't know about the Yelp check-in offer, Urbanista's vibe is really up our alley. Since cocktails didn't wow me, perhaps their bites would've.

Every person on the team seemed fully in sync, effortlessly anticipating what guests needed before they even asked. It's rare to see that level of teamwork executed so smoothly. We ordered: * Le croque-pétoncle (scallop sandwiches) * Brochette de langue de boeuf (beef tongue) * Boeuf de pâturage (raw grass-fed beef) Oursin QC (sea urchin): It was silky, and has that nutty toasted richness from the brown butter. Parfait de foie (liver parfait): It was smooth, and velvety without being heavy. It's the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the meal ends. I still occasionally talk about it. Every dish was thoughtful and balanced, not a single bite needed extra seasoning. The flavors had depth, and precision. And though the scallop sandwiches and dessert didn't quite hit the same high notes for me, but everything else more than made up for it. Amazing food and amazing service! I can't wait to be back again and just for that parfait de foie alone.

Before I get into it, this place is cute and trendy. I liked that aspect before it turned bad. I…read morewent for an event with my university, mostly just tapas style and it pretty good. The service was the bad part. They skipped over a lot of people and were kinda rude. They told a few people that "just so you know so you aren't like your friend, tipping isn't included"... They were being rude because they didn't tip when it's always optional. The people who didn't tip weren't really served and didn't eat... I don't know, not an ideal situation for the group mixed with the service. The lady that serviced us was super nice but the two men who helped with the party were not. It would probably be better as just a sit down casual spot and not for an event.

The interior was really fancy - so if for nothing else, you'll get a great photo from visiting this place. The bartender was friendly, but we didn't like any of the cocktails he recommended. Maybe we weren't very good at describing our flavor preferences. The service overall was great, and we even got some free shots for willing to switch seats for other customers. After visited few other speakeasies in Montreal and Quebec City, I can conclude that this was our least favorite stop.
