Agréable de retrouver le steak frites pour un français après les poutines & burgers ! Une brasserie à la française. Les frites sont croustillantes & la viande était cuite comme demandée. Le moelleux au chocolat était parfait, tout comme l'accueil. Un sans faute !

Excellente bouffe, steak à point, bon service mais très bruyant malheureusement, on a de la misère à s'entendre parler.. mais on y va pour la bouffe & le service rapide! Le prix est aussi élevé si on prend du vin (demi litre) & une table hôte (150$).

We were pretty disappointed in this experience. This restaurant is half fancy half fast food vibe. Meaning the decor is fancy but they give paper menus as a table cover & napkins instead of a serviette. Our steaks plainly weren't good, they had no flavour whatsoever, definitely missing some spices. The salad was inedible. dessert was Ok again nothing had much flavour. The soup of the day was the tastiest thing on the menu ! Service was good.

Steak cooked to perfection, signature sauce is the best I've ever had!

We had a delicious meal here recommended by our tour guide earlier in the day. The steak was flavorful & tender, & the fries crisp. Our waitress was attentive. We recommend getting reservations here early in the day. We waited until the afternoon & the first available was 8:15pm. This is late for us. However, when we showed up earlier, the maitre'd found us seats earlier, which we appreciated very much!

Vegetable soup was smooth with a good scent of carrot. However, the salad was very mushy & too nutty from the walnuts. Steak was too tough & cooked too much for a medium rare, but the sauce was great. The dessert was okay. You get what you pay for it here.

I recently dined at L' Entrecote Saint-Jean &, unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience. I ordered a medium-well steak, but it arrived almost raw. I had to send it back, which meant waiting while my husband ate his meal. When I finally received my steak, it still wasn't cooked properly, especially given the high price. To make matters worse, when we left a 5% tip based on the poor experience, the waiter confronted us, asking why we tipped so little & mentioning that he needed to share tips with others. He was quite rude, & it made an already unpleasant evening even worse. While I understand the importance of tipping, being pressured like that is unacceptable. I personally won't be returning to this restaurant, & I hope they can improve their service & food quality for future customers.
