NY hound looking for group dinner suggestions

[norton]

Hi All,
I will be visiting Montreal soon, and I am hosting two dinners for friends. Both groups are around 6-8 people. Since these are celebratory dinners, price isn't an issue. Where can we get the best food and an atmosphere where we can hear each other?

Thanks!

Don't forget Anise (104 Laurier West, 514 276-6999). Zen-like decor both modern and antique; unobtrusive, highly attentive service; exquisite, spice-infused and gorgeously presented dishes with roots in contemporary France and the Middle East; smartly chosen wine list. It all adds up to a dining experience that's unique in Montreal and probably the world. Plus the restaurant is on three levels -- a more spacious first floor and two intimate upper floors both open to the space -- so your party can be both part of and separate from the action (such as it is).
