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.
Les avis convergent pour décrire Gus comme un petit endroit intime et chaleureux où l'accueil est attentif et le service efficace; l'ambiance conviviale et détendue, malgré un espace restreint, invite à réserver à l'avance. Le menu est centré sur la viande avec quelques options de fruits de mer, et les plats comme la soupe à l'oignon revisitée et le steak onglet ou entrecôte obtiennent des éloges pour leur cuisson et leur richesse, accompagnés de pommes de terre au fromage et de sauces variées qui ajoutent une touche généreuse; certaines sauces peuvent toutefois masquer le goût de la viande. La carte des vins est intéressante avec des importations privées et des choix au verre, et le personnel aide à faire les bons accords, ce qui renforce le sentiment d'un soir agréable; les desserts et le rapport qualité-prix reçoivent aussi des compliments, et la salade César est souvent citée comme excellente. Des expériences comme des cours de cuisine au bar et des rencontres avec le chef ajoutent une dimension conviviale et mémorable, même si l'établissement peut moins convenir aux végétariens.
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 😛
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.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel completely at home. Everyone was incredibly warm & welcoming, & the cozy, inviting vibe of the place just added to the experience.
The food? Absolutely amazing. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & clearly made with care. The steak dish was perfectly cooked & flavorful, & the sides & starters-especially the arugula salad with apples-were fresh & vibrant. The cevechi dish & asparagus with shrimp were also beautifully prepared & full of flavor.
This place is a hidden gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend giving Gus a try. You won't regret it!
This is one of my all time favourite restaurants ever. My brother introduced me to Dave & his team many years ago & since then we have enjoyed many wonderful, delicious meals there. I highly recommend the Ceasar salad, surf & turf or the bavette as core delights that you can always count on. That said I have NEVER had anything other than an amazing meal. Much love for this restaurant & its incredible food!!!
Food is great! Very tasty, portions are really good! We took the ceasar salad as a starter & the surf & turf to share. They have a good option of wines. The service is really good as well, they were very attentive. I definitely recommend, I will return to try the other dishes.
Small & cozy, the food is always on point. We have been going since it opened & have always had a great culinary experience. The staff is friendly & welcoming, would highly recommend.
I love this restaurant! I've followed the chef David Ferguson since he owned Jolifou & I absolutely love his style of cooking. Rustic comfort food that tastes amazing! He knows what he's talking about when it comes to steaks too! I love the ambiance of the resto as well. Small & comforting. Great place to go! It's open kitchen makes for a great experience to get to talk to the chef too! Highly recommended!
