"I was very pleased with my choice. Service was a little slow because it was Mother's Day weekend, but the staff were very friendly, the food was excellent. The menu has plenty of selection, even deserts. I also liked the decor, they really went all out in the marine theme (the salad bar is a boat). All in all, I would definitely go back to that restaurant."

"Decided I wanted to have lobster for a change and with the restaurant being known for seafood, I was looking for a lobster tank. I did not see one, so I was not sure to expect in regards to the quality of lobster. The server said that they had a very large lobster tank, so I looked around as he went to get our drinks. As I walked about the restaurant looking and wondering if I required new glasses, a server asked me if she could help. I told her I was looking for the tank, she laughed and said “follow me “and we went through a door and I saw the lobster spa. Luxury lobster living. We had a laugh and I was relieved I did not have to purchase a new set of glasses."

"On my second visit in 2013 from Toronto with my parents, we found the service to be excellent and the food excellent. The noise level was as the ratings lists “energetic”, but as my 94 year old father said “Good sign all this talking, means that people are enjoying themselves”. Also found it very pleasant that the owners took the time to visit each table several times over the evening to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. Will be making a third visit this year for sure."

"For the price - and it is quite expensive! - we would expect the seafood to be way fresher!! We've had better seafood at less pretentious places. Fish and filet mignon were ok but not extraordinary. But the worst part was the staff! It was a slow night and they seemed quite bored, but to have them just sitting nearby, staring at us, probably overhearing our conversations was extremely annoying! To makes matters worst, some waiters were sarcastic, not to say very cocky! It is the customer's right to ask questions about the food and be picky, we pay for that!! The lovely decor and salad bar were a nice touch and seemed so promissing... but overall it was very disappointing, not at all what this place is hyped up to be..."

"When home in Montreal visiting my parents, I always try to make Terra Mare a must do. The attention that is paid to ensure that the customers’ needs are taken care off is exceptional. If you’re a seafood lover, the sole or salmon are a must do. Looking forward to my return visit to Montreal. Also never leave with out experiencing Creme Brule that is done right."

"A dozen fresh oysters are always a must at the Terra Mare probably the best in Montreal and reasonably priced to. We were 3 for lunch and everything was excellent from the perfectly cooked provini veal chop which was suggested to us but not not on the menu, to the spicy Cajun Salmon that was worthy of any Cajun restaurant in New Orleans that I've eaten at, to the perfectly concocted Curried Shrimp. The Chef here has game and it shows in everything that comes out of the kitchen.
Once again the Terra Mare hit it out of the park and we all enjoyed ourselves. My guests really appreciated their meal and can"t wait to go back again to try one of those 4 lbs lobsters that was being served on the next table.
