Il Pinnacolo

Food was delicious, service was incredible and the views were an added bonus!

Excellent service, amazing food and exceptional ambiance. Definitely deserves 5 stars. The chef was great and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Come right after lunch, so that you could get your dinner on time :) very slow, very very slow. Taste is food, but probably hunger will make you a extraordinary feeling:)

The food and dining room were great. This is more of a high end french cuisine than italian restaurant and all of the item we ordered were delicious and impeccably plated.

Everything we ordered was perfect on taste and presentation alike. Every item could compete with any of the best tables in the Montreal area, not a small feat. I loved some of the more creative ideas and flavour mixing while the more conservative aspect were very well executed. No obvious complain on the food level, very impressive work.

The main issue I have is the service that was not on par with the quality of the food. The waiter was not able to describe the choices in detail and had obvious lack of knowledge of the menu. She was very nice but you would expect a more professional waiting staff from a restaurant of this quality. Multiple mistake were made on orders and she forgot some of the item we asked for so we needed to ask multiple time. But again all the staff was very polite, joyfull and dealing with the COVID reality. I think a bit of training and coaching could easily fix those issues which are often overlooked by owners.

The name and "authentic italian food" label does not seem to reflect the nature of the experience. The writen menu itself is very shy on explanation and does not sell the experience right, being red and plasticky such as what you would expect from a lower range restaurant.

Overall a lot of potential if they are able to tune those little details. The food has heart and they sure have a spectacular location with a view.

The prices were also very modest for the amount and quality of the meal you will receive. The highest priced item in the 4 course meal was the spectacular filet mignon for 55$ if I remember correctly.

With the right staff management and image correction, the have the engine to be one of the best table in the very prestigious Mont-Tremblant area.
