Mignon Steak

We were a group of four, & at first everything was amazing-the food was incredible. Unfortunately, there was about a 40-minute wait between the appetizer & the main course, which made us lose our appetite. Then, it took another 20 minutes for the dessert to arrive. Aside from the long waits, the food itself was excellent. Bummer they never apologized for the delay.

We came for the MTLàTABLE event, which offered a four-course menu.

My mushroom bruschetta was great, but I was surprised that it was such a small portion. My boyfriend ordered the crab cake, which came out the size of a toonie. I usually don't like crab, but decided to try a bite & couldn't even tell that it was supposed to be a crab cake because it just tasted like old fryer oil. Could not taste crab.

Our next course was just the house salad. The dressing was extremely mild & we could barely taste it. The lettuce pieces were huge & hard to eat without cutting it up… which is not what I want from a basic salad. The walnuts were the best part…

The main was steak frites which is usually one of my favourite things to order. The fries were clearly just out of a bag & looked/tasted the same as what I'd get at a cheap chain restaurant. I ordered a medium-rare steak, which is what I always order & was surprised to see that about 1/3 of the steak was totally gray inside. The very middle could pass for medium, but it was overcooked. My boyfriend's steak was also quite overdone, & we alerted a member of staff. I was impressed that they took it back to the kitchen immediately without asking questions (does this happen a lot?), but was then talked down to by a different member of staff who I assume was the manager. He explained that he had a look at our steaks & they looked fine, & the kitchen uses thermometers to determine doneness. Okay…. My steak was still gray & not medium rare. I mentioned that we do, indeed, go to many steakhouses & know what a medium-rare sirloin looks like (which is not gray anywhere, & bright pink in the middle) & the waiter recommended that I should have ordered a rare if I wanted that. It felt condescending, & I did not appreciate it. I had never ordered a rare steak in my life, but he decided that he would tell the kitchen that I wanted it rare. On the second try, it came out fine but was definitely medium-rare, not rare. I really liked the sauce that came on it, but it was overall just a fine steak & nothing special.

Finally, we got cheesecake for dessert which was alright. There was a bit of strawberry sauce on the very top, but definitely not enough to add anything. The cheesecake was no better than what I'd expect from a grocery store one.

If you're a tourist who is unfamiliar with upscale steakhouses, you will probably be satisfied here. I assume that is their target audience based on the mediocre food.

The food was really good but they took too long to bring it; looks like a joke the amount of time even just to bring the dessert, theres better places around

We were looking for a place to feel like home & hit the jackpot. It appeared most folks dining were locals. We were in the mood for a burger & the food did not disappoint. The cocktails were on point & the service could not have been better. We knew we were at home when the bartender came & sat beside us to share a shot & talk for 5 minutes. This will be our first stop on our next trip.

Steak was too well done & sauce lacked flavor. Average meal.
