I went to provide this review because the quality of service from the manager Shay & her hardworking service staff as well as the excellent quality of the food myself & my friends experienced at this restaurant yesterday. However, after reading the most recent review I feel compelled to respond in support of Shay & her staff by providing the context the previous reviewer conveniently omitted. In my years of dining out I have never witnessed a group of people act with such disrespect & entitlement towards restaurant staff. While I was waiting for a table prior to the restaurant opening at 5pm, I saw two men walk onto the terrasse while the restaurant was still closed & begin to try & dismount the tv to turn the game on for themselves. I then heard the manager politely ask them to stop a few times, which I believe was entirely reasonable as it was clear her & her staff were working hard to finish up getting the restaurant ready to open, & also because from my perspective, their behaviour was embarrassing & inappropriate. Instead of stopping as they were politely asked to do, they aggressively raised their voices at her telling her to calm down. The manager responded by matching their tone & telling them to get down off the bench. Unlike the two men, I then heard her apologize for raising her voice, which to me demonstrated a level of professionalism & character these men did not deserve. At that point the only reason I didn't step in & say anything is because these men are clearly hostile & entitled & I didn't want to make the situation worse for the staff. Once I was seated my friends & I witnessed this group continue to disrespect & insult the staff for the entire time they were there. I believe the only reason they stayed for the length of time they did was to harass the staff, as they barely ordered anything. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I was with how the manager & her staff maintained their composure & professionalism throughout the entire experience. That group of people should be embarrassed & ashamed, they were cruel, rude, & entitled & I could not in good conscious let the previous review go unaddressed. If a poor review is warranted, that is totally fine, this was not warranted. I hope they see this review & know that to those who were there to witness what happened know the staff were excellent & that your group were a public embarrassment.
Extremely bad service. Shae should learn some manners before working in a restaurant. Swearing at customers is unacceptable & to reach that point of pure disrespect & ignorance is by any standard, a shame. Unfortunately, Aurélia not only attained a higher level of ignorance, but instead of trying to fix what her co worker started, told us to pay & leave.
Management should work on their staff's manners, the bare minimum really. Service work standards like these ones should not be accepted in any respectable restaurant.
Je me suis fait servir par Aurélia & le service était absolument impeccable, elle avait une belle énergie positive, & j'ai surtout remarqué qu'elle a pris le temps de bien serivir les autres clients de façon professionnelle

The sea bass with mashed potatoes & asparagus & beef tartare are delicious! Service was good but not as attentive as expected. Overall, great restaurant.
We had a great experience & the food was top notch . Sebastian was great & provided great recommendations we will be back. Thanks you for the great food
We have been here a few time before with great memories of the food & service.
Sadly we will think twice before coming back after this time…
We can in & it was busy. So we expected having to wait a bit for the service. But after a good twenty minutes, the waitress finally came to take our order for drinks. There was a couple that came in after us & had their orders taken before us.
We had ordered beef & salmon tartare & escargot for entree. Main dish was steak frites. After roughly 15mins, the main dish came out so we were slightly confused. Waitress had forgotten to order the entrees. Too bad because we really like the tartare here & were excited to have it. But since we got served the main dish right away, we decided to just cancel all the entrees. As apologies, the waitress offered free cocktails.
After we finished our dish, we ordered one dessert to share which was disappointing…chocolate mouse.
When we got the bill, the waitress said she didn't charge for the drink as apology for forgetting our entrees. However, the price of the main dish was the price of the table d'hôte instead of the price of the dish on regular menu. We never ordered table d'hôte! Either way, because she didn't charge us for the drinks, the bill came out as if she did charge us for the drinks. We still gave her a 25% tip btw. That was our farewell.
The food was honestly delicious for a casual night out. We never have problems with the food & drink. Just the dessert was disappointing.
Just the fact you say you give her free drinks because you forgot to serve the entrees but then overcharged for the main dish is a complete lack of transparency & honestly.
We are saddened because we really like this place but will no longer support a business that is dishonest.
Great experience at Mignon Steak! We were warmly greeted, received good service & enjoyed delicious food & drinks. The $1.50 oysters were a great deal (happy hour) & the espresso martini was perfectly made. The atmosphere was warm, laidback & inviting. My only downside was that the food portions felt quite small for the price. Overall though, a lovely spot for date night or catching up with friends!
