Solemer - W MONTREAL

I went to Solemer today (ex- Sirene de la Mer). We ordered 1 Red Snapper $30cad-kg and 8 shrimps at $47cad-kg. I ordered it from their little shop that is adjacent to the restaurant because my friend and I wanted seafood without the extras (rice-salads-fries). Our fish was 1.095 kg for $32.85 and our shrimps .300gr for $14cad. You think that would be the bill; well wrong. The bill came $52.13cad for Red Snapper and $20.70 for shrimps. I was shocked and fuming because this is TOTAL RIP OFF AND DISHONNEST. I talked to the shop adjacent to the restaurant an said YOU SHOULD TELL CLIENTS THAT YOU CHARGE $27 additional cooking-and-preparation. He was discourteous, rude and non apologetic and replied that complaints should be directed to the Restaurant. My Bill came to $105.57 and the owner of the restaurant presented the credit card machine to pay and clicked automatically on 15% service, on his own. Being POLITE AND WELL BRED, I agreed for the 15%. However the whole experience ws UTTERLY DISTASTEFUL AND UNPLEASANT. Their service was mediocre and doesnt deserve 15% at all. Their entrees olives and turneps were mushy and soggy and when I asked to replace them. The owner wasnt pleased at all and grimaced while doing it. This is a rip off that when you order from the shop directly attached to them they charge you $27cad for preparation without advising you. TOTALLY DECEITFUL AND UNPROFESSIONAL. Would not recommend this restaurant at all, service mediocre, overly priced, and food average.

They have best seafood ever , I enjoyed the food and services great place to visit in montreal, I do it all the time I visit montreal

My favorite restaurant in montreal, they have the best sea food in montreal, I notice lots of changes in there food quality since I visit the same place last 19 years . Good to try

Went with the family for supper, had amazing meza"s as usual and delicious grilled and fried fish. The service is superb; they constantly change your plates, service with a smile, very clean place and always good quality food. It's one of the best Montreal restaurant's; thank you for everybody working there!

Alike Sirene de la mer. Lower prices. Very enjoyable experience. Fresh and fast preparation. Takeout only possible as well.
