But the mains felt a little heavy and plain, and it took forever to get our check at the end. It's a cool spot to try once for the unique vibes, but I probably wouldn't rush back anytime soon.

We split a mixed order of pierogi for our app that were so good, we bought three dozen to bring back to New York. For entrees, my husband had the pork chop, which was fine, but he definitely had FOMO when he tried my krokiety. Insanely good!!

The decor is very dark with a floor to ceiling center bar, large windows through out the dining room, and excessively loud hip hop music. The crudo starter was stellar. The texture difference with the crumble and delicate fish was out of the ordinary. My entree short ribs with peanut sauce fell short. The meat was extremely tender and juicy. The peanut sauce a blend of whole nuts and puree was a delicious pairing. But one of the four ribs was meatless and just the bone. The server explained the meat had simply fallen off the bone and was in the dish. But the meat was no where to be found in the dish. The one item that perplexed me was the server's uniform. Considering the swanky mid upscale atmosphere I couldn't determine why the female servers wore Hooters attire? The male servers were covered, t shirts and pants. But the females wearing baby tshirts and micro mini shorts. This mismatch of poor taste uniform compared to the overall theme of jellyfish could use immediate improvement. I failed to observe this type of server attire anywhere else dining in Montreal.

Great place for a nicer dinner. I started with the bramble cooler which was tasty, definitely a…read moresweeter drink. For 3 people we shared the olives, 2 pizzas (o'cipolla was our favorite), and the chicory and citrus salad which surprisingly ended up being enough food for us. Our server was very nice but the food runner just slapped down the food and walked away quickly without saying anything which was odd. The atmosphere is nice inside with a huge pizza oven in the center and farmhouse-esque style. Definitely recommend for an occasion or nice dinner.

I've had phenomenal meals here and slightly more lackluster ones. Funnily enough, it kind of seems…read morelike the more simple I go with my order, the more impressed I am with the food. For instance, a basic cheese pizza (which I ordered from the kids the last time we went) was the best part of the meal I had last time. I've also had some hit-or-miss cocktails there (the spicy ones have honestly been the big failures for me--REALLY spicy in some sips and then virtually tasteless by the end). But I feel like when it's good, it's so good, so I fully intend to return for future meals. Also, I have never had bad service there.

The garlic pesto bread was wonderful, and the fries and dipping sauce were among the best we've ever had! They were perfection. Also loved the Rigatoni bolognese. Drinks were on point.

Price: $8 and up Food: Tried both the Rustik cold and hot plates, consisting of Romanian caviar, bean salad, beef salad and eggplant, the hot plate Chicken liver, mushrooms, breaded cheese and Romanian sausage, closing off with Polenta with sour cream. The food was passable, nothing stuck out as being particularly inspired. I did see some cabbage roles with with polenta that looked good, perhaps worth a try. Summary: Nothing to make an extra trip for, but worthy of a try if one would like to sample Romanian cuisine. There is also apparently singing entertainment on the weekend.

My go-to meal is a Guinness and the German Plate as it's filled with all the goods you want: schnitzel, sausage, spaetzle, sauerkraut, and potato salad!

We were not disappointed! The schnitzels were amazing! You can choose from pork, chicken or cheese and some different gravies and sauces as options.

Shout out to the mushroom gravy!
