Description: This steakhouse, a favorite of business types in the downtown area, is solid in both décor and cuisine.

The lovely space complements the cuisine, which focuses on USDA prime beef, dry aged for up to five weeks. A variety of cuts are available, including their well-known ribeye, or you may choose from lobster, veal, prime rib, lamb and fresh fish. A selection of robust wines accompanies the hearty meals, and you'll also find live jazz and terrace dining. The Montréal Tea Room is an exclusive private dining and conference facility.

A very attractive restaurant with terrific food, extremely professional service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Don't miss the assorted wild mushroom side dish, which melts in your mouth like butter. My only complaint has to do with some of the prices. We paid about what we expected for the entrees, appetizer, and non-alcoholic beverages. However, what they charged for the wine, dessert, and the $25 lobster salad (which featured very little lobster) was way out of line even for an upscale eatery such as this.

Everyone in Montreal has a Queue de Cheval sticker-shock story. Eight friends and I helped build the place last year when visiting for the Grand Prix weekend. Over $300 per person. And this wasn't even going nuts on wine or drinks. Just a plain ole rip. The wait staff "enabled" our party suggesting the caviar platter without mentioning the $500 price. Have to admit they throw up a fine piece of meat, but I've had the equal for less than half the price at Mortons. Only, and I mean only, on someone else's dollar.

This is the most overpriced restaurant experience I have ever had. Though the meat was excellent their prices were only exceeded by those listed on the wine list. Additionally my appetizer of oysters on the half shell contained shell fragments in almost all 12. I mentioned this to a manager that asked me how my dinner was and when I informed him of the oysters he said their oyster preparers were very experienced and walked away. Great customer care. I will never return or recommend this restaurant to anyone. The restaurant certainly has the ability to provide very good food however the quality does not justify the sky high prices.
