Petit steakhouse. Grandes saveurs. Le restaurant Gus se distingue par l'approche culinaire unique du chef David Ferguson qui s'inspire d'un large éventail de cuisines allant des grillades assaisonnées et des épices du Sud-Ouest américain aux classiques relevés du steakhouse traditionnel. L'ambiance de ce petit restaurant de quartier est conviviale et chaleureuse et les sauces piquantes maison sont savoureuses et enflammées. Steak et fruits de mer.
Gus est apprécié pour son ambiance intime et conviviale, son personnel chaleureux et attentif, et un menu orienté viande avec quelques options de fruits de mer. Des plats comme la soupe à l'oignon revisitée et l'entrecôte arrivent riches et savoureux, avec des portions généreuses et des sauces remarquables qui ont pu sembler trop fortes à certains. Le choix de vins et le service aident les groupes à trouver des accords, et de nombreux convives retiennent la salade César, les viandes et les desserts comme des moments mémorables, faisant de l'endroit une sortie animée mais détendue. Certaines visites reflètent une expérience plus mitigée sur le prix et l'exécution, avec des préparations trop gourmandes qui masquent la saveur de la viande et une impression de potentiel à affiner. Dans l'ensemble, Gus est perçu comme un bon choix pour les amateurs de viande cherchant une ambiance chaleureuse et une cuisine de qualité, et beaucoup prévoient d'y revenir.
Quelle belle expérience. C'est la deuxième fois que nous allons chez Gus & certainement pas la dernière. La salade césar est divine avec sa lettue croquante, les croutons fondant fait maison, une vinaigrette fais a la main pour chaque commande & on ajoute une tonne de fromage rapé directement dans le bol, quoi demander de plus. Pour les plats principaux, y faut y aller pour les découvrirs! Ah oui garder vous de la place pour un dessert.

The menu is inspired & the food is delicious. The staff are knowledgeable, warm & very friendly. We were a group from out of town & were made to feel very much at home.
Double date night with friends, I never heard of this place before. They seem to have their share of regulars at the bar, but the atmosphere was friendly & relaxed so we felt at home.
It's a small space, so I recommend booking in advance.
The menu is unapologetically meat based, with a bit of seafood. We had the onion soup & the rib steak. The soup was classic French but with a few twists, like avocado, which actually worked well, although the chucks could have been cut a bit smaller.
The steak was great, cooked to perfection & I loved the cheesey potatoes, which was a bold choice of side considering the steak had a fine amount of fat & topped with delicious compound butter. It was rich but oh so good, & the portions were generous. The desserts sounded good but we were stuffed.
I also really enjoyed the sauces available, not that my steak needed it. It's those sauces that make people think that this is a Tex Mex joint, but it's not. Just because there's Sriracha on the table doesn't make it a Thai restaurant 😜. The Kansas City style sweet sauce & the green vinegar based sauce were my favorites, but all 4 were solid.
Another thing worth mentioning was the wine list. Lots of private imports, from tried & true wine regions to more funky offerings. Good selection by the glass - including dessert wines - & cocktails, too.
The waistaff was cool, I liked that they knew their menu well, & helped out as a group to pick out our wine.
Prices are aligned with what a good night out costs these days, but I think there's good value here, & I would definitely recommend this place, unless you're vegetarian 😛
Great food, service, & atmosphere. The dishes were all so flavorful. Had a fun night with a group of 6. Small, intimate, & lively spot that feels welcoming & relaxed. Would definitely go back!

Wanted to love this place but fell way short. Staff is very nice. Restaurant du coin kind of vibe. I can see why some people may love it.
Service was good. Everyone is nice & helpful.
My wife & i shared the ceasar salad. It was good. Expensive but good. Made fresh in front of us.
My wife took a steak (onglet de boeuf) & i took the entrecote which was supposedly a top 4% grass fed cut from a local farm. Everything was drenched in the strangest butter sauce. You couldnt even taste the meat. I rarely send food back but was not able to stomach it. I dont mind butter on my steak but this was a strange fusion of butter & i dont know what...onions or chives. Anyway in my opinion steak should just be grilled & served. Sauce should be on the sode. It camouflaged the meat & couldnt taste anything but the sauce which i couldnt handle.
My wife had the onglet de boeuf which was quite good. No sauce over it but it laid on a bed of vegetables that were cooked with 5 lbs of butter. Again we dont mind butter but this was exaggerated.
I sent back my steak explaining i couldnt stomach the sauce. I know its not their fault but i was expexting at least a dessert or coffee on the house. They charged me everything. A little disappointing considering its not a cheap place.
Suffice to say that i will never be going back there. I wouldnt recommend the place but i also wouldnt tell someone not to go of they asked my opinion because the place has potential & they know how to cook, but it needs a little finesse.
Possibly one of the best cesar salads, steak/fries, cocktails & chocolate cakes that I've had in a long time. Staff & patrons created a welcome, cozy atmosphere on a crisp, cold 🍂 night. I will defintely return.

A small place that makes a big impression. The chef visiting your table makes you feel at home, but the cuisine is way above home-style. Carefully chosen produce imaginatively ( but not fussily) prepared. Memorable
I loved it! One of my new favorite restaurants. Fairly priced dishes & they were all delicious. We had the Ceasar, nachos with foie gras & the ceviche as appetizers. I had the bavette as my main dish with the apple tartine with a Jameson sauce? I was not expecting those nachos to be that good! I crave them now. Definitely coming back & already recommending it to my friends & family!
Chef David est le meilleur en ville. Salade César préparée fraîche a la portion & a la commande. Viande toujours excellente & le poisson divin. Tout le personnel est très attentionné & parfait
