Main Steakhouse and Deli Revisited The Main Steakhouse 3864 St. Laurent Blvd. Montreal, PQ.

Frequented mostly by locals who live in the area, but I have traveled cross town for years to enjoy their General Tao Chicken. The open kitchen emanates cleanliness.

https://www.playground.ca/entertainment/new-years-eve-2020#nye What better way to bring in the new year? Great food, vintage wine, and live entertainment. I would expect an event of this type anywhere in Montreal, Toronto, or New York City would have a $150 ticket price. And rightfully so.
