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 🥰
5 STARS!
I went there for dinner with family & we ordered the dollar oysters (5 à 7) & the polenta fries (both great). For our mains: the steak frite which was a bit chewy for my liking, the trout which was excellent & the mac & cheese that was ok. We got a new server but she was very sweet & checking up on us very often. We sat outside which had a nice atmosphere & music. Overall a good night!

i feel cheated & roped off because I went for 1$ oysters & it said on the menu from 5-7 oysters are 0.99 but after the bill came saying 21$ & when I asked they said it changed but I ordered based off of what the menu said so instead of 6 I pays $21 which isn't cool in this economy honestly but the place where service was amazing, I just felt like they ripped me off
I understand the hype now, & i'm totally hyped over this place 😍 The spot is super cute, has the best golden hours. Also the best 5a7 1$ 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 😁 !
Got the buck a shuck oysters (actually 1.99) & the jalapeno sauce it came with was awesome. The steak tartare was very good & came with a super generous portion of fries. Came in on a Monday night at around 6 so it wasn't that busy. Sat at the bar & bartender was really good. Very friendly & provided some good suggestions.

Food was just so underwhelming. The steaks had the consistency of liver (as if they were first boiled in water or soaking too long), the oysters were not fresh, & the salad was meh. The fries were amazing, though. Overall, Mignon is was not worth it at these prices.
Stopped by on my way to go running with friends when I saw the $1 oysters sign. Who doesn't like a spontaneous deal when you're hungry?! I saw the white napkin rolls, fancy-ish looking place, & then realized I was wearing neon shorts. Yikes. But the staff didn't flinch - I got a great seat on the beautiful patio & the servers were super attentive. The oysters were really delicious as was the mignonette!
Everything was perfect. The steak was well done, the fries were excellent! Crispy, hot, salty, what more could you ask for? UNLIMITED FRIES! That's what! Oh & give the dill pickle martini cocktail, it was just what I needed after a long day. I didn't have any oysters but, the oyster special was very popular with the finance bros at the next table.

It was our first time at Mignon, & we'll definitely return. Great little place, with a simple yet delicious menu. We both had the steak & fries & it was excellent! The meat perfectly done with a good sauce, melts in your mouth. & 1$ oysters to start! If you're looking for a warm atmosphere to enjoy excellent steak without overpriced trend, this is it.

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.
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.
