I am still shocked on how good the food was. My NY steak was so tender & flavorful that it needed no sauce, & I am a sauce girly. The cheesy mashed potatoes were amazing! The vegetable of the day was asparagus with parmesan & it was so flavorful just a bit undercooked, but everything had so mich flavor in general! I never had such an amazing steak to begin with! Also, the drinks were great as well! Not overpowering, just delicious! I loved the service as well. She was so kind & respectful. She always made sure we were well taken care of. Anyways, 10/10 & I will be back for sure.
Desmond & his staff were nothing but amazing while we had dinner. His mother's cheese cake recipe is the best dessert! Anyone that chooses to eat here must get a slice. Amazing drinks, amazing food, yummy shots. I will never get over the juicy filet mignon & lobster. Could not recommend enough!
The server gave us a warm welcome but from there it went downhill.
My filet mignon was charred & tasteless although it was cooked at the right temperature. In the menu it said that every steak came with confit cherry tomatoes & horseradish. When the steaks arrived at our table they were missing both of those components. Our sever told us the horseradish was gratted over the top which we could barely see & asked if we wanted her to bring us the tomatoes on the side. Well for $60+, yes I would like to have all the components I am promised on the menu on my plate. She was nice enough to bring us a few tomatoes & some actual horseradish on the side. However, the cherry tomatoes were not confit, they were barely cooked & my garlic mushrooms lacked garlic.
Next, my mother is lactose intolerant. She wanted to order the salmon but it was made with a cream sauce. They told us everything except for the risotto was easily modifiable. They said the cream sauce could be made without the cream, but the salmon came out with no sauce at all. She asked to replace the brussels sprouts with mushrooms as she has trouble digesting them but her plate came out with brussel sprouts & a few mushrooms over the top. Thankfully when we sent it back it took little time for them to fix the mistake.
The only good part were the drinks & the half cornish hen. We also had the seafood mix for our appetizer, way overpriced but good.
The cooks need to be trained better because when you order $60+ steaks you expect something juicy, perfectly seasoned & not charred. As for the servers, please ask them to look over the food before it is brought out to ensure everything is as it says on the tickets. Again for the price of these plates, the service has to be immaculate.
Do not recommend.

I've been coming to Sel Noir regularly & it never disappoints. The steaks are consistently on point, perfectly cooked, full of flavour, but honestly the mac & cheese deserves its own mention. Rich, indulgent, & the perfect companion to whatever cut you order. The drink menu is where they really surprise you though, unique cocktails you won't find just anywhere, & they're as well-crafted as the food. Add in attentive service that makes you feel like a regular & a vibe that's moody, lively, & just plain cool, & you've got a spot that's hard not to come back to. If you haven't been, go. If you have, you already know.
Nice little spot for a steakhouse. Dim light & dark ambiance make it into a perfect restaurant even if it's for just a drink. As for the cocktail, I had a NY sour, one of the best I've had. We started it off with the beef tartare served on a bone marrow & for the main plate, we ordered a rib steak with some fries on the side. Steak came out lukewarm at best & it was lacking some salt. Prices were on the more expensive side especially for the bone marrow but all things considered a decent steakhouse.
Amazing experience! I came with a group of 10 to celebrate a birthday, & everything was on point.The food was delicious - perfectly cooked tomahawk, rich mac & cheese, & amazing truffle fries. Portions were generous, drinks were great too - my amaretto sour was really well made.
Special shoutout to Xavier, who made our night. He explained the menu, gave great recommendations, & made sure we were well taken care of the entire time.
Highly recommend - great food, drinks, & outstanding service!
I wanted to love this place so much… the salmon tartare was a joke, nothing short of disgusting… Brussels sprouts were also really bad, nothing short flavor, no depth, no nothing… you can tell this place is trying. They try to take classics & reinvent them with bold ingredients & their own unique twist which I admire, but if the star ingredient is muffled by everything else, you're back at square one. I for myself will not be coming back for a while… until they make some changes. I hope this review is taken seriously & that they work on the basics of their menu because this place truly has the potential. Other than that, the staff was awesome for the most part, super friendly wait staff & great drinks.
J'ai été quelques fois à ce super resto!
La bouffe est délicieuse, le service & le staff sont merveilleux. Les drinks sont tellement bons. Les proprios sont géniaux! Je recommande!! Ça vaut le détour!
I had such a great experience here! The oysters were absolutely delicious, & my favourite dish of the night was the tuna tartare so fresh & full of flavour. The drinks were perfectly made &
We also loved our server, Gabriel he was attentive, friendly. I would definitely come back again!
