I was really looking forward to eating at Grill Nature. I'm a big fan of the chefs & the concept. When I first read about it, I thought it was exactly what the West Island needed: a simple, old-school menu done right.
Let's start with the chicken dinner. We ordered the whole chicken & when it arrived, it looked fantastic. Unfortunately, it was quite dry. The breast was very dry & the leg was tough to chew. The sauce was excellent, though, & the fries were delicious.
That brings me to the other bird: the duck confit. Again, it was dry, which was disappointing. It also lacked the richness & tenderness you'd expect from a good duck confit. Overall, it was an average dish.
We also had the steak frites. The flank steak was tasty, but there wasn't anything particularly memorable about it.
On the positive side, all four starters were delicious. The burrata, baked clams, & sashimi-style scallops were standouts. The bread was excellent as well.
Service started off strong & attentive, but our drinks took quite a while to arrive. The starters came out quickly, but there was a long wait for the mains. Had the main courses been stronger, the wait would have been easier to overlook.
Dessert finished the meal on a high note. The chocolate cake was absolutely delicious.
This isn't a complaint as much as constructive feedback. I'll definitely be back to Grill Nature because I know it's still relatively new & there is a lot of potential here. That said, dry chicken & duck are pretty fundamental issues, & I hope they're addressed because everything else suggests this restaurant could become something
A great addition to the west island with a fantastic selection of market fresh food, super tasty with an amazing wine snd beer selection. Service was great & we got to watch the kitchen in full action. We ate so well there was no room.for dessert! Oh well we will just have to go back again!
We had dinner for three on a Friday night at Grille-Nature. Drinks were served with mint & limes making a delicious mojitos. Our server was amazing with so much information to share. His descriptions of the menu were very enticing. The food was very tasty & not overcooked. We were even able to watch the hockey playoff game.
Friends made a reservation 2 months ahead & we were all looking forward to a great meal. Our waiter Dean was excellent. Attentive & friendly & efficient. Devore was very nice with a great warmth & attention to detail. My wife ordered the hanger steak. I ordered the thick cut bacon & the New York strip aux poivre. Unfortunately both our steaks were overcooked but we're still tasty. The bacon was delicious & well prepared. My buddy & his wife ordered the Caesar salad which they said was delicious. He ordered the burger which was great & his wife ordered the hanger steak which was also overcooked. Seemed like the kitchen had some issues with doneness this night. For dessert, we had the Marjolaine cake which was good but pricey at $16 for a small slice. Strange considering most menu items were quite reasonable. Our friends had the sticky toffee cake which they liked. Sitting in a lovely restaurant with excellent service is always fun. Will definitely be back.
Excellent food. Excellent service. The Milano ham appetizer is outstanding & the chocolate cake is amazing. I took the shrimp as a main meal: very tasty.
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.
Went to Grille Nature with my wife, & my parents & had an absolutely wonderful experience!
We ordered the ginger shrimp & chopped salad to start! The shrimp were very tasty & the Chopped Salad tasted very very fresh!
For the main, we ordered two specials (New York steak & Black cod) & we also ordered the scallops which is on the regular menu! Steak was served in a jus that was absolutely delicious. It was cooked pretty rare & I wish it were closer to medium but it was still very very good! The black cod was also delicious. It had a slight sweetness to it (probably a sauce), & tasted very fresh! The scallops were very flavourful & super tender! I honestly would recommend all 3 dishes! (Pictures of the mains included)
The service was very polite but I found the pacing was a little off. The appetizers came in a good amount of time but it felt like 35-40 minutes between the end of the appetizer & when we got the dinner. All that being said, the server was very polite & I think she was pretty new so I should give her more slack than I am giving her.
Overall, I really really enjoyed this restaurant. It's so great to have a restaurant of this quality in the West Island
I will absolutely be back & I can't wait to try more things on their menu!
One of my new favorite restaurants, everything was amazing from the service to the food. I was hesitant to try the cheese burger because there were so many tasty looking options, but this burger really stood out it was so juicy & had such flavor, I would recommend it! My boyfriend got the steak frites & it was also amazing cooked to perfection. Even the French fries were really good. Also you HAVE to try the fried squid the batter was so tasty the sauce on the side was also really delicious.
Our server was very kind, & quick to ask how we were doing or if we wanted anything else. Also the host at the front remembering my name as we left & saying good bye was a sweet touch. Overall a really good experience & we can't wait to be back
