I am changing this score from a 2 to 4 stars.  Wow, what a difference a few months make.  The IHOP is not brand new anymore and the hot spot for people in QC who have been acheing for a diner to open in town, or any restaraunt for that matter.  I think with the huge volume of customers and the huge staff they had to accomadate them, the management was able to see who were the keepers, and who to lay off when things got slow.  We have been there a few times lately and it is not overly crowded (you can find a parking space) and the remaining staff are outstanding.  It is still IHOP, and I can't see myself giving an IHOP 5 stars, but the service is much better now, and the experience also much much better.
