Mignon Steak offers a polarizing experience where guests frequently praise the inviting atmosphere, cozy decor, and the exceptional efforts of the service staff, who are often described as friendly and attentive. While many patrons enjoy the cocktails, oysters, and specific menu items like the tartare, experiences with the signature steak and sauce are notably inconsistent. Some diners laud the quality and value of the table d'hôte, whereas others report disappointment regarding portion sizes, rising prices, and fluctuating food preparation quality. Despite the restaurant's reputation for being a welcoming spot for friends and dates, issues with reservation management and varying food standards have left some long-time visitors feeling that the overall experience no longer justifies the cost.
Where do I begin… I came here for my birthday dinner & it was a meh experience ! We were four & the review was unanimous! First of all, it was COLD. Food wise, the french onion soup & the fries were delicious. The salad, the stake & the sauce were very disappointing. The salad dressing very basic, the steak sauce powdery & not tasty & the steak burnt. The front-of-house greeting was very cold, but the girl who served us was very nice (5/5) & listened to all our complaints & asked if she could do anything to improve our experience.
Very disappointed especially after all the good things I've heard about Mignon !
Waiters were so friendly & nice.
Steak one of them was massively overcooked the signature steak
The fillet mignon was basically a leather boot..
sauce was very watery & tasteless.
The burger patty was another leather boot.. uneatable
Mac & cheese was decent
Fries were good
But i mean the main event , the beef was overcooked & tasteless. I was surprised on how you can make a fillet mignon taste this bad.. war crime on the beef..
Unsure about the food, as we never actually got to eat here. Unfortunately, we felt completely misled. The restaurant advertised a'$30 table d'hôte':
'You loved it in January, so we're keeping it all February. $30 table d'hôte - reservation only.'
We made a reservation for February 13th for our Valentine's dinner based on that promotion. However, when we arrived, we were told the offer didn't apply for Valentine's weekend. I was genuinely shocked… I hadn't realized the word'all' came with hidden exceptions.
The manager mentioned that since the table d'hôte option was disabled on the online reservation system, we should have known it wasn't available. But because it was disabled, there was no way for us to see that information in the first place. 🙃
We chose to leave out of principle. Very disappointed.
Réservation faite pour 20h30 - Un long moment avant de simplement se faire dire bonjour par le staff - On nous place tout proche de la porte d'entrée & de la fenêtre (-25 hier soir dehors) - Nous avons passé le repas en manteau d'hiver tellement il faisait froid dans ce coin du restaurant, nous sommes arrivées frigorifiées & repartie de la même façon - Aucun mot, aucun geste, aucune empathie malgré nos remarques & nos gros manteaux sur nous. Si j'avais pu j'aurais mis aussi mes mitaines & ma tuque.
Service 0* des demandes non répondues: pains sensé être servi avec la soupe voir avant en attendant (il est arrivé à la moitié du plat principal & vraiment mauvais). Une jeune femme antipathique, qui traine la patte & discute en arrière avec notre panière de pain. Peu de sourire & une attitude pas agréable.
La soupe ou plutôt la sauce (liquide) bonne en goût mais c'était un shot de soupe & non un vrai bol de soupe. En plus elle était tiède-froide nous qui comptions nous réchauffer avec....
La prise de commande a été très longue, environ 25minutes avant d'avoir de l'eau & de passer commande.
Le vin est arrivé après la soupe....
Le plat ? Du sel, du sel, du sel. La sauce est plutôt bonne en goût mais texture poudreuse (faite maison ou sachet ?) & la viande'ok' malgré une cuisson pas comme demandée.
Demande de sauce qui arrive quand la moitié des frites ont été mangé.
& la mousse au chocolat en dessert ? Immangeable. Ce n'est pas précisé sur le menu qu'elle venait avec un coulis de fruit rouge par dessus, dommage.
Tout ça pour 49$ hors taxes & hors boissons....(menu table d'hôte= soupe + steak/frite + dessert)
A 23h, & suite au paiement, elle nous dit juste'on ferme la faut partir'. J'ai bu la fin de mon vin cul sec. L'heure c'est l'heure & je le comprend y'a une fermeture à faire mais encore une fois tout est dans la façon de dire les choses :)
Bref si le service avait été bon & sans faute j'aurais rien dit, ni écrit un avis ici malgré une bouffe médiocre, à cela s'ajoute 2h de repas en manteaux d'hiver. HONTEUX en plein mois de janvier.
