Disappointing at best. Apparently it's just a joint in the Chateau; I am bewildered by the great reviews. The oysters were ok, but thin & limp (unlike the ones I had the night before at Albacore - highly recommend). The Caesar salad was so overdressed there was a bowl of soup left over. The only thing that was pretty good was the beef tartare, but that only came with 2 thin toasts. I used the croutons from the Caesar to compensate. I did have a beautifully made cocktail but in general the bartender/server was distracted by everyone else. I was seated at the bar, with no view, so I was hoping for more from the food & service. At least I had a fabulous cocktail to drown my sorrows in.

We made reservations which I highly suggest. This is a fabulous restaurant located in the Chateau Frontenac. The decor, atmosphere & service are exquisite. The food presentation ws very attractive & reasonably priced compared to other restaurant menus we see about the city. Some tables are overlooking the terrace & the St Lawrence River. A wonderful experience.

The Sam Bistro is an amazing experience once you enjoy their menu & drinks. The view is beautiful & the service is excellent. Laurie the hostess saved our night because there was an error with our reservarion, & David provided the right recommendations for food. I would highly recommend this place, as you get to enjoy a nice dinner at the Chateau Frontenac with an amazing view.

The consistency & quality of the cuisine & service can always be counted on au Château Frontenac. Sam's Bistro remain one of my usual go-to places in the city. I had the Seafood Casserole this time around & it did not disappoint. A real pleasure for the palate, highly recommended!
