Reviews are very unfair. You have the "5 stars, I haven't got there, but looks nice" or the "1 star, weren't allowed to drink more even I was going to pay my 57th shot of tequila, btw they lost my credit card, oh no it was here on my bra, i'm a dude"

Meanwhile in an other universe: in a cosy bistro in Czech Republic instead of hummus I was recently served guacamole. Weird mistake, but as I hate to waste food I told the totally blushed waitress that it is fine. I love both. She tried to convince me to change the dish, so I asked what will happen with the warm toasts and guacamole on them. She said that they will trash it. So I ate it. And I was satisfied. I didn't want any compensation either as I know that sometimes this happens. If I would ever write a critique about the mentioned place, I'd highly recommend it. (Oh and they have brilliant goat cheese there two! :I )

People who leaves negative reviews weeks later are miserable people who like to complain. A legitimate complaints is reported promptly. Obviously the person had a crappy day & went thru a list of "those who wronged me in past year". 😂 Having worked in food industry for many years as both bartender & server, ive witnessed the most mild mannered people come unhinged when they enter a restaurant. I used to think people left their brains in their pocket before entering to order a meal. No one is perfect & i love the chefs response. Tactful & to the point.

This person ate the whole thing... Really? You have nothing to say my friend. Go somewhere else!

Those who work in food service are underpaid, underappreciated, and always have to deal with this kind of c**p.

I love the snooty comment, ”gruyere isn’t French, it’s Swiss”. Nobody ever said it was French. Re-read the text, it says that gruyere is a “French bistro classic”. It is. It is used all the time in French bistros. They use Gouda, Edam and Swiss too. Cheeses from everywhere for everyone!

Kudos to the chef for a classy burn. BTW, I hate goat cheese and love Gruyere and would have loved that omelet, just like the jerk did who wrote the hit piece. The Swiss and French both have their versions; but, the Swiss is officially recognized as the original, authentic Gruyere.

So i realize that it's not quite the same, but a while ago i was shopping for a dishwasher and reading reviews. I found one that was given a 1 star rating because it was damaged by the guys that delivered it. That seems fair.....

How diner could not distinguish the difference between those two cheeses is amazing. And if he/she didn't like the " substitute " should have asked for something else at that moment. I'm sure the chef would have accommodated the customer.

i don't know what gruyere is until now. i need to educate myself about cheese.

From what I've seen of Yelp reviews I wouldn't rely on them to choose a restaurant. Besides, those critiques probably don't apply to Montreal restaurants anyway.

Gruyere cheese is Swiss in origin and was named after the town of Gruyères in Switzerland. The production of cheese in the region can be traced back to 1115

Such drama over cheese

There's just too many trolls out there.

Well the customer didn't state anything wrong. So although the tone of the review is not that nice the cockyness of the owner isn't great either.

I may be wrong here, but isn't Gruyere more expensive and better tasting than goats milk?? 😒

Gruyere isn't a French cheese, it's Swiss

Even if a place screwed up an order and the service was beyond horrible, I still wouldn't submit a review. There's a solution to every problem.
