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.
Excellent steak, butternut squash soup, & Rose Margarita, however i finished with an Old Fashioned which might have been the worst one I've ever had, bleh.
I liked the steak & really enjoyed the soup. The salad was very bland, lacked flavour, the fries were too much "McDonad's fries", not good enough for a $50 meal, they should be more Parisian style, a bit more crunchy, instead they were rather soggy & lacked a lot of salt. The steak itself was really good but there was too little sauce. The dessert was really underwhelming, could barely taste the chocolate & the inside of the choux à la crème was, although creamy, not flavourful enough, we couldn't taste the vanilla or anything else for that matte
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.
Très bon rapport qualité prix pour ce qui est de la table d'hôte. Le service était aussi très agréable. Je vais clairement recommander ce restaurant
à mes proches.

Bonne cuisine, bon steak, bon martinis, bon service. Seul bémol, les assiettes ne sont pas chaudes & le plat refroidit donc rapidement. Simple à corriger.
