What is your budget?…read more This is the first question you'll hear out of their mouth when you show up to visit their facilities. Renting the building and its furniture only did not seem like an option at all. We backed off because of the poor attitude of the staff. (+) Large space (-) Location; Low ceilings; No 'wow' effect. Please be aware that they are not asking what they can do to make your event special. They are really focused on getting the most $ out of you. The one staff wanted to charge 400$ per person for a 3 service banquet type of event or else he would serve corn to our guests! ...all of that even though we told them we would hire our own food service. This is not the way potential clients should be treated and it gave us a pretty clear idea of how their customer service is running after you sign a contract with them. We met two staff during our visit. The first one was nice but still very focused on our budget while the second one should be fired.

It's an event space attached to the McCarroll Pub. There is a seperate entrance and you can't hear…read morethe noise from the bar at all. I've been to two events/conferences here and I have quite a good impression. Pros: - Good ambiance: as you walk up the stairs (2nd floor), there are little blue lights in the floor that makes you feel like you're in space. - Good food options: they have different menu choices for different price points. They include vegan/halal choices. They have a poutine bar or multiple courses - Good portions: the portions are huge and the poutine bar was quite delicious. For the multiple course option, they bring out big plates that the whole table shares, but it was more than enough for the 6 of us. - Good food: the rosemary bread was amazing! It was warm, soft and the rosemary taste really penetrated the bread! The antipasto platter was also incredible. All kinds of cheeses, meats and olives. However, the baked tomato + feta casserole was probably my favourite thing Cons: - They removed the plates as the next courses were ready, which is understandable. However, there were always a lot of food left and I find it incredibly wasteful. Had they left the food longer, we would've definitely eaten more. Case in point, the wild mushroom farfalle casserole was barely touched. I was discussing with the conference hosts and when I turn back, they had already cleared the table. There wasn't a dessert afterwards, so they could've left it a lot longer. - The food got less and less good as the night went on. The bread and antipasto scored 100% on the tasty meter, the main dish was a 30%. It was pieces of chicken wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with cheese, spinach and other things. The chicken was extremely dry and not very flavourful. The farfalle casserole was very bland. It was a sad end to a great start. - The waiters did not announce what the dishes were. There are a lot of people in my group who couldn't eat porc or things containing alcohol. However, the waitresses did not announce anything as they placed little things that look like sherbet in front of us. It was after that some of us tasted it that realized that it contained alcohol. We had to run to the others to warn them before they ate it as well. The same thing happened with the chicken wrapped in prosciutto. Overall, it was a good experience for me, but if you have any dietary restrictions, you should definitely ask them to explain what it is before eating any of it.

We had a mixed experience working with this company to plan our wedding at their Salon Richmond,…read moreand felt it was important to share. On the positive side, the space is stunning and the food was excellent - both were highlights for us. However, our experience on the planning side raised several concerns. Communication and expectations were unclear from the outset. We initially believed we would be working with one team member, but later learned that a different person would be managing our wedding, which was not clearly communicated and created confusion early on. Throughout the process, we found the planner's approach to be rigid and not particularly collaborative. We were open to guidance, but often felt that our preferences were dismissed in favor of doing things a specific way. During our tasting, for example, some of our menu selections (chosen directly from the venue's own offerings) were criticized as not being "classy" or "elegant," which felt inappropriate and unnecessarily condescending. There were also multiple instances that felt unprofessional, including meetings starting late and recurring interruptions during scheduled time together. We also encountered a significant issue regarding payment transparency for a vendor booked through the venue. A deposit we paid was invoiced as a payment toward the band, but was not fully applied as such, and this was not disclosed at the time of payment. The matter was only resolved after escalation. While it is clear that the team is capable of executing events, our experience did not reflect the level of professionalism, transparency, or care that is essential when planning a wedding. A wedding is not just another event, and the planning process requires a level of respect, communication, and client focus that we did not consistently experience here. Due to these concerns, we ultimately chose to move forward with a different venue, as we did not feel confident continuing with the planning process. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this venue for weddings. Couples should proceed with caution and ensure they have a clear, documented understanding of vendor payments, responsibilities, and expectations before committing!

But it's definitely in a good location, walkable to Old Montreal. I booked the Mega Guest Room, which was very spacious and came with a bathtub in an open bathroom layout. The FH&R benefit also comes with free breakfast and a $100 property credit, which we used to dine at the hotel restaurant (see my Restaurant Tbsp. review). Rather than a buffet breakfast, we got up to $50 credit per person and ordered à la carte. Overall, the service was great and the room was clean and spacious. Definitely a good use of the Amex FH&R benefit.

The woman that checked me was seriously sweet and hospitable, I wish I had gotten her name.
