A hidden gem in the West Island. Crab cakes were delicious & paired well with it's side. The pan seared sea bass was excellent & I would recommend the 14oz. rib-eye steak. The homemade banana cream cheesecake was on point & very flavorful.

Cozy restaurant with relaxed vibes. It's not too loud or crowded. It's a soothing atmosphere. Dim lighting that sets a mood. Great option for a date night! They have a diverse wine list. The service was great! From our waitress to the timing of the food coming out, as well as ensuring our water glasses were always filled. The team was on point. The bread service was delicious. The bread was fresh out of the oven with coarse salt flakes on top. The garlic butter was delightful. The honey butter was not my preference, but my partner liked it. The olives were tasty, but the green ones were on the bitter side. We both order the rib eye steak with fries. Their homemade fries were beautifully done. Perfect amount of seasoning, & I love when fries have a little bend to them like these ones did. The rib eye steak was a little underwhelming. I asked for not too much pepper. It was cooked properly. It was charred nicely, but I found it lacked seasoning & overall flavor. It didn't have pepper or anything, really. It was disappointing when you ordered a high-end item on the menu & expected a quality that wasn't delivered. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience,

Review from someone that just loves food in general from fast food to fine dining. Rating is based on the lowest score. Service: Top service, food arrived fast, new plates in between, checked in on regularly. No issues at all. Atmosphere, simple dim light open room concept. Sound travels so it was a bit difficult to hear my table. Open kitchen so I think kitchen seats might be interesting. Food: Interesting menu items. Had taken several appetizers & a steak. What's interesting when you have menus without images is your expectations & I think everything was on par visually. Calamari was as expected, portion size & both tentacles & rings. Crispy & not chewy. Horseradish sauce (which I make & prefer) plus other sauce was nice to have. 8.5/10 I would prefer to have again. (Example of bad calamari is Lucille's 18$/8pcs). In general calamari should be under $20 & few good places have them in $16-18 range. Mushroom Tartine: Extremely above expectations. Flavour was just something different. Definetly a dish I would want to recreate myself & was the highlight at the Bistro. 10/10 Oysters: Oysters are Oysters. Choice of Lemon, Tabasco, Mignonette (a bit under on flavour) & that Horseradish tomato again. I typically just go for Oysters on Oyster days, or shuck a box myself. Salmon tartare: I love salmon & beef tartare (& when presented table side) but this one just didn't have any burst of flavour, it didn't give my taste buds a new experience. 7/10 Basically decided from my last 2 experiences that I'll just stick to my own home made tartare. If you are ordering a Salmom tartare for the first time, this dish would be a safe introductory to get over "raw" fish. Beets salad: To me, it was just a beets salad. I enjoy beets already so nothing new of a flavour profile came out on this dish. 7/10 Sirloin Steak frites MR: Had expectations since their mains are fairly beef related. For nearly $50 it isn't changing anyone's steak expectations at all. There are quite a few steak places to be had in the sub $40 as a complete. Fries also under whelming. That malt vinegar mayo, noooo. Overall the place is a nice little bistro. Annually for the past 4-5 years we go to the same restaurant for their tasting menu & wine pairing but this time I wanted something different this time hoping Bistro Grace can bring in something different. Come to think of it, there was a reason we kept going back to our same resto because expectations matched & I guess we will see them next year.

We had great service. The waitresses were attentive & sweet. For food, we started with the crab cakes on apple slaw & they were very delicious! The 10oz sirloin steak was just ok but it had a nice sear though. For dessert, the key lime tart had a soft mushy crust. I would have preferred a crunchy crust, but the filling was nice. It was not too tangy nor too sweet. We also ordered the dark chocolate pot de crème which was amazing.
