Small and intimate steak-frites restaurant. Open 7 days a week. Good wine list & classic Martinis. Daily specials on appetizers & desserts. Chef Pat Marion.
Reviews of Mignon Steak describe a cozy welcoming room with a warm vibe and attentive service that many diners appreciate for a night out with friends or a date. The food is generally well received, with the steak frites frequently praised for taste and balance and other items like tartare, oysters, and seafood earning positive notes. However, a number of visits note inconsistency, including steaks that are burnt or undercooked, dishes arriving cold, and portions or timing that can feel off. The service ranges from outstanding to slower or distracted depending on the night, and a few reservations or seating issues have left guests feeling frustrated. Overall the restaurant tends to deliver strong flavors and a convivial atmosphere that invite return visits, even as some guests caution about value and variability.
I had the pleasure of having dinner here last night & its a date I won't soon forget! The vibes were immaculate & that terrasse in the back had the perfect amount of privacy. The staff (Alexa & Shay) were excellent- very knowledgeable & able to recommend options for our tastes. The food & drinks were delicious & the portions left nothing to be desired (except maybe a return visit in the near future). Definitely coming back for that oyster deal! 🤤 What a wonderful experience, y'all made my week 🥰

I understand the hype now, & i'm totally hyped over this place 😍 The spot is super cute, has the best golden hours. Also the best 5a7 1$ Oysters 🦪 The food is just incredible ; the meat cooked to perfection, creamy & hearty soup, fries are perfectly fried crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside, the butter is home made, the sauce is homemade too & super flavorful, desserts & drinks are on point 👌 I'll come back for the rest of the menu hihihi i want to try tartare & the mac & cheese 😁 !
Solid 8/10! Service: The service was great. Our waitress was really nice & made sure we were content. Free shots were given to everyone which was cool of them. Our waitress also took on of our drink requests even though it wasn't on the drink menu. Atmosphere: I really like the ambience of this restaurant. We sat on the terrasse for a bit which was really comfortable. Unfortunately it started to pour, so, we moved to the bar inside. The bar isn't as comfortable of course but the atmosphere was. Food: We had the Mac & cheese for our appetizer. Although we both thought it was missing just a tad bit of salt, it was very good. It's the only Mac & Cheese I've enjoyed in a restaurant. I had the PEI Canadian AAA beef. The flavour of the meat was there, delicious. Fries were addictive. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the signature sauce. It is quite dry on the tongue, which isn't very pleasant.. My partner had the beef tartare for his main dish. It was decent but not the best he has had. I'd dine here again.
I love everything about this place. Food is great drinks amazing staff are so fun to be around. Only thing is their tables on the patio are abit too small for two people.
Nice place for a date. Service was quite slow but drinks & entrees were pretty good! I have to say, the sauce on the steak could be better.. they made us wait so long for our main meal that they were cold. Next time I wouldn't ask for the famous steak & fries & would go for the beef tartare or the burge
The service was extremely slow. There was one other couple sitting at the bar & it took 15 mins before the waiter took our drink order. Although the food was delicious, the waiter only came near the end of our meal to ask if everything was okay. It was also very cold in the restaurant, my bf & i ate with our coat on.
Our server was lovely, the drinks & oysters were delicious. My friends really enjoyed their steak frites. However, I ordered the asparagus salad as it is one of the only vegetarian options on the menu. & it was genuinely one of the most disappointing vegetarian dishes I've ever been served. It was essentially a pile of unseasoned, wet vegetables on a smear of hummus. It was not worth the cost. I would strongly recommend that you consider replacing your vegetarian option. An actual salad or adding back a vegetarian steak replacement for the steak frites would be much better options. I am not usually one to write feedback, but I wanted to share my opinion. Thank you.
Great service, very friendly, not too long, great drinks / wine. Fries are sooo good. Salad soup & dessert as well.
Appetizers ok but missing taste, except the sauces were really good.
Vegan steak did not like, tastes like vegan meat loaf from the groceries.
It's an ‘okay' spot. Probably won't go back there as often as I had hoped to at first glance.
The room looks cozy & super inviting. They've definitely done a great job redesigning it.
The service is excellent. The staff is pleasant, helpful & very courteous.
The drinks are disappointing, especially the cocktails. They're working with a ‘twist' on classics, resulting in major flops (I definitely would not recommend the dirty martini twist). What's even more concerning is that the resto doesn't have a dedicated bartender: the person making the cocktail is rushing them in between waiting tables & loading dishwashers. That's the sign of a poor cocktail right there.
The steak is definitely not ‘mignon'. It was okay, a solid 6/10. Hiding under a lake of peppercorn sauce, one struggles to get an honest taste. But that's what they're going for. Also, there's way too much fries on the plate, making you wonder if they're overcompensating for something.
Dessert was also underwhelming.
I also found the oysters gravely mispriced ($4 a pop is aggressive to claim without backing it up with quality).
Bref, an entrée, main plate & two glasses of wine should not cost as much as it did considering the quality.
The service, the food & drinks were top notch & beautifully presented. Portions were just right. The apps were beyond amazing, especially one of the specials - cantaloup with ricotta, basil, puffed rice & edible flowers. Steak was great quality, frites perfectly crispy. & the prices was more than reasonable.
great ambiance, staff was knowable & attentive good fresh & local starters good drinks , unfortunate to say less than impressed with the steak which is the signature dish.
