We gave our waitress a price range & basically asked them to surprise us. The quality & quantity is off the charts. Was really happy with everything that was made & served to us.
Came for McMillan's expertise & philosophy.
My expectations were obliterated. In a good way !
It's a foodie's dream experience. It's a new Montreal classic. Big portions, Fine flavors, fun plates, quality driven but not pretentious. It's very''festive'' & this lacks a lot in the culinary world. Like a crossroads between a Paris's Bouillon ambiance & abundance, a Lyon's bouchon respect for quality ingredients & a Paris' Bistrot for the presentation & attitude. All of this driven by a clear pride of Montreal's gastronomic culture &''way of life'' where the most important thing is to share good food with good friends. The vision is very unapologetic & I loved it. Shout out to the chef's own farm that supplies fresh & quality ingredients. It shows.
Mr McMillan himself walking through the dining room greeting customers. Service staff was very profesionnal yet very funny, the food amazing, the drinks perfect. Everything is on a human level, nothing feels over the top, except maybe how good it tastes.
I am emotionally drained & I will come back as often as possible.
Outstanding experience at Grille Nature West Island! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. Every dish tasted like it was made with high-quality ingredients, & the portions were generous. The staff was warm, attentive, & made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, & perfect for a relaxing meal with family or friends. I'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend Grille Nature West Island to anyone looking for delicious, healthy food & excellent service!

Went on a date night we had a later seating. We were sat next to the bar. We waited 1 hour for appetizer that that we had ordered to share, we each got three shrimp. Another hour for our main course. Watched the owner come to the bar & slam down glasses of wine, super happy he got to enjoy himself. I watched the a waiter scrape butter off the table & plate it at the bread station. Way over priced, you have to pick your sides & pay for them, which when we got them, they didn't really pair well with the meal. Very loud, bright & uncomfortable seats, it seems like it's about seeing who is there rather than the quality of food & service. Save your money, unless you just want to go to show face.
Had high expectations considering the reviews & pedigree of owners. Unfortunately, very disappointing. We had 8pm reservation for 5. Only given menu from someone 10 min after being seated. Waiter did not arrive for another 15 minutes. All this time we browsed the menu & chalk board deciding what to order. When waiter finally arrived & explained the menu, many of the options on board were no longer available. Waiter was friendly & knew his stuff but it would have been nice if person who gave us the menu informed us of all the dishes that were sold out. Also it's strange that so many items were no longer available since it was only 8pm. Waiter really pushed the porterhouse steaks & I'm sure the quality is good but we're more into ribey & there were none. We ordered multiple dishes to share. Some were just ok but several were flops. Some dishes were way too salty or the chicken dish that tasted like the sauce came from a low cost bottle. Basically, the execution was not very good. The atmosphere & look are beautiful. Our table was located under the vent so we were freezing. Also, I sat at the end of a long table but there was a piece of wood attached to the corner legs that made it very uncomfortable to sit because I had to sit with my feet under my chair or stretched out over the piece of wood. I'm tempted to give them another try as maybe it was just a bad night. It happens.
Invited by friends for my birthday! Don't let the location undermine its authenticity. Service, while friendly, offered no flexibility for simple side alterations, no was the quick answer! Atmosphere could benefit from an upgrade, toilets were under par. They hit the mark with the food quality. Originally the chef was at Joe Beef, & now here. Overall, might need another visit to experience a better service.
The service in the dining area was excellent, & the food quality was truly top-notch. Our server was number one as well,exceptional, attentive, & truly made the experience stand out. We go back again.
Was excited to come here because we were finally were getting a'Montreal downtown quality' restaurant on the west island.
& to be clear, the quality of the food is excellent. The prices are high to match, but where I was let down is in the ambition.
West Islanders want downtown quality food, without it taking an hour to get there in weekday traffic & then having to find parking. We want the exact same thing we can get in the best restaurants downtown, but closer. I thought that's what we were going to get.
Instead we got a'dumbed-down' menu & a more'middle of the road' wine list.
David we spent an hour plus fighting traffic to get to your old restaurants downtown because we could have a gastronomic experience that is hard to find - this crazy creative/quality/price ratio that does not exist anywhere in North America except Montreal.
That's what we want.
We don't want it to be dumbed down. We don't want it to be a'suburban' restaurant. We want the same creativity & menu ambition of Joe Beef, Vin Papillon, Mon Lapin, Beba, Parapluie, etc. But now we still have to go downtown to get that.
Overall, we had a great experience, with a few areas that could use improvement.
The service & staff were excellent. Everyone was attentive & friendly, the food arrived quickly, & the pacing of the meal felt well thought out rather than rushed or sluggish.
The menu is genuinely interesting, with a lot of tempting & well-curated options. It feels creative without being gimmicky. The drink program is also a strong point. Cocktails were very tasty, & the wine list is solid, offering great selections both by the bottle & by the glass.
Food highlights really stood out. The calamari were excellent, perfectly cooked & flavorful. The scallops were cooked just right, & the fries deserve a special mention. Honestly, they might be the best fries I've ever had.
That said, a few elements didn't fully live up to expectations. The 8oz bar steak was cooked perfectly in terms of temperature/crust, but the quality of the meat itself wasn't there. It was chewy & had noticeable sinew, which took away from what should be a highlight at a grill-focused restaurant. The mortadella appetizer was also overhyped by our waiter. It ended up being very standard German-style mortadella (Leberkase), nothing bad - even very tasty, but nothing memorable either. I would skip it next time.
I'd give the restaurant a solid 4 stars, but a few details pulled the experience down.The bar stools were extremely uncomfortable, to the point where my legs were going numb. We eat at bars often, both locally & while traveling, & these were among the least comfortable bar seats I've encountered. It really affected the enjoyment of the meal. The steak knives also felt cheap. It may sound minor, but ripping through meat isn't appetizing, & for a place branded as a grill, this feels like a basic expectation. Lastly, the toilets were a bit dirty, with things like urine on the floor. Nothing dramatic, but still unacceptable for an establishment at this price point & level.
Overall, it's a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes, but the food is very tasty. I would definitely go back, & if some of these issues improve, I'd be happy to update my review.
