40 Westt Steakhouse

5.0

While visiting my cousin in Montreal, we decided to have dinner at 40 Westt Steakhouse, & once again, this place reminded me why it's considered one of the top steakhouses in the city.
From the moment we arrived, it was clear how popular this restaurant is. Even though we had a reservation, the restaurant was extremely busy & we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for our table. That said, the wait didn't feel like an inconvenience at all. The staff greeted us with big, genuine smiles, apologized for the short delay, & immediately offered us drinks while we waited, which made the experience start on a very positive note.
Once seated, the service was absolutely top notch. I believe our waiter's name was Sam, & he truly made the evening even more enjoyable. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, & attentive without being intrusive. Everything flowed perfectly throughout the night thanks to him.
The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse-warm, elegant, lively, & very inviting. Despite how busy it was, the restaurant felt very clean, well-organized, & professionally run.
For appetizers, we went all out & ordered a variety of dishes:
Tuna tartare
Salmon tartare
Calamari
Beef carpaccio
40 Westt salad
Scallops
Every dish was beautifully presented & full of flavor. The tartares were fresh & perfectly seasoned, the calamari was crispy & light, & the beef carpaccio was delicate & melt-in-your-mouth. The 40 Westt salad was refreshing & well-balanced.
The real surprise for me was the scallops. It was my first time trying scallops, & all I can say is wow. They were absolutely delicious-perfectly cooked, tender, & packed with flavor.
For the main course, I opted for the New York Strip, & it did not disappoint. The steak was juicy, flavorful, & cooked perfectly, with an excellent sear. My wife ordered the same & loved it just as much. My cousin went with the Delmonico, & he said it was perfectly cooked & incredibly delicious.
We finished the night with dessert & all chose the soufflé, which was the perfect ending to an outstanding meal-light, rich, & absolutely amazing.
I've always enjoyed dining at 40 Westt, & this visit was no exception. I did notice that prices have gone up quite a bit, but considering the quality of the food, the top-notch service, & the overall experience, it's absolutely worth it.
Exceptional food, outstanding service, & a world-class steakhouse experience.
Highly recommended - & a special thank-you to Sam for making our night memorable. ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?

Porterhouse was good. Mostly Tender. Nice sear. Some parts were dry, but it's is probably due to the dry aging.

Our dry aged steak delivered bold beef flavor, with blue-cheese notes & a touch funky. All good when you like dry aged steak, which i do!

Shrimps were cooked perfectly & flavourful.

I would describe the service as efficient. In the middle of asking questions about the menu, the server just left. Unusual. Another server tried humor by insulting us. Not my idea of hospitality. Again...Unusual.

Anyways, we finally tried it. Good food. We will not return due to robotic (but efficient!) service from one server & downright impolite comments from another.

Save the roasting for the steaks, not the guests.

I attended a friend's party at 40 Westt Steakhouse a few weeks ago & had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, perfect for a celebration. I ordered the New York strip, & it was absolutely delicious-cooked perfectly & full of flavour.

What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Our server, Tayler, was outstanding. She was attentive, friendly, & went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our group.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this visit was memorable enough that I felt it deserved recognition. Highly recommend for a night out, a special occasion, or just a great meal with fantastic service!

I took some customers with me for dinner here at someone I knows recommendation. It is a really nice place & is very cool because it feels like you are in a historic building when you walk in & not a newer construction building. The food was pretty darn good but the only reason I didn't go 5-star was we had two steaks out of three that were ordered that were not cooked to requested temp. I ordered Medium & I got well-done. They did make it right & cooked me a new steak. The mushroom ragu was very good along with the loaded baked potato. I got the bone out ribeye which was seasoned perfectly just off on the cook. The second steak was cooked perfectly & was very tender & delicious. I would recommend this place for a nice night out & will bring customers back.

Service was great, mac n cheese truffle entree was unbelievably good. Everything else was mediocre to not good. Steaks are cooked perfectly inside but charred on the outside, like burnt, if you tap your fork on steak its like tapping a table, they say it's because it's dry aged but other steakhouses i've visited with dry age steaks don't have this problem, if you like your steak this way it's 5 stars. I also agree with what most people say, hugely overpriced for what you get.

Went to this restaurant with a big group(15) for a birthday. We were served by Rachid. The service was impeccable, food delicious & the wine recommended matched perfectly our plates. Definitely recommend this place! Although it is definitely on the pricier side, the quality delivers & the experience unmatched.

Great ambiance, quality steaks & excellent service aimed to keep the customer curious, entertained & in the process making the time memorable. Kudos to Rashid & team for a wonderful evening yesterday serving our group of about 12 people. Now to the main course - the food... If you visit this restaurant, do order the seafood tower - you're welcome! Lobster, jumbo shrimp, crab, oysters - in an impeccable presentation. Appetizers - we ordered at the recommendation of Rashid a few - calamari, scallops, an engineered feat of a small pita with cheese & caviar put together at the table, & Japanese Wagyu samplers- the entire team thoroughly enjoyed the starters. At some point someone asked if we even needed any steaks! Now to the steaks. Rashid brought out a bunch of cuts to explain the different nuances - it was obvious that he's done it a few times, as he went through it seamlessly! Most of the team were intrigued by the bone-in fillet mignon, an 18 oz, roughly 2" thick steak with enough marbling to render a juicy steak after it hits the 1500 degree Celsius coal fired grill. The second crowd favorite was the Cowboy steak. Verdict - from an ambiance & service standpoint, I rate the restaurant & it's crew as 5 stars. On the seafood - 5 stars again, a rarity from my side to rate seafood at a Steakhouse for 5 stars. & the ratings for the steaks - 4 stars. & my reasons for not rating them at 5 stars. Start with the Japanese Wagyu samplers - I didn't find the Wagyu samplers to be in the top category comparing similar samplers I've had in the recent past, most notably Blueblood Steakhouse at Toronto Casa Loma. The bone-in fillet mignon was unique & I've never seen this on a menu till now. It was cooked perfectly well & as you go closer to the bone, the flavors increase as well. I definitely enjoyed the steak. Overall, a quality Steakhouse with an excellent seafood offerings in the Montreal area, which I'll highly recommend for any connoisseurs of a good steak!

It was hopping for a Monday night,l (a year ago, late review) which I was very happy to see. We ordered some appetizers to share (salmon tartare, beef tartare, & tuna sashimi). Hubby & mum-in-law loved the tuna sashimi best. For plump oysters on half shell, wait for the season. Now is not the season. Bread basket was an eye pleaser & caraway pumpernickel bread delish. I ordered a filet mignon topped with melted brie on top of garlic mashed potatoes with a reduction of red wine sauce, absolutely sublime. The steak was perfectly seasoned & cooked perfectly medium, & cuts like butter. Our son ordered the cowboy steak, rare, & it came very rare. Its nice to see a restaurant cook the steaks exactly to customer's request. Its so easy to fail it & they passed with flying colors. Looking forward to comming back. & dress nicely, the resto is on the upscale side. Thick linen napkins & table cloth.
