My friends and I had a very poor experience yesterday at this restaurant, one that tainted our friends reunion and made the evening really unpleasant. The meal was alright. The service, however, made me give me a $0 tip for the first time in my entire life. The servers, particularly this person whose name appears to be Anne, seemed really annoyed at our requests about the possibilies to change the sides of the steak dishes. We had asked a previous waiter, who apparently just gave up on our table and was abruptly switched by Anne, about the possibility to change fries for mashed potatoes. He explained they didnt make mashed potatoes, which we obviously understood, and then we saw they made fingerling potatoes as a side to the trouts. We politely asked Anne if we could have fingerling potatoes with the steak, to what she replied, rudely: “As my colleague already informed you, that is not possible. This is a steak and fries restaurant”. The energy was really loaded and it seemed like they were having some disagreements with the kitchen staff, which a professional waiter would keep separate from the front house. We also felt rushed throughout the entire meal: we arrived at 8:45, unfortunately half an hour after our reservation time, a lateness we of course called ahead to report because we got mixed up and went to the wrong address at Saint Paul. Over the phone, they said it was fine – the restaurant only had about 5 occupied tables, and closes at 11 pm. In other words: our tardness was not supposed to make a difference for them. But Anne came ask us if we were done multiple times throughout the meal, served our wine which was chilling in the ice bucket too quickly, and this service made the entire experience feel wrong and very uncomfortable. We were extremely disappointed to have spent our evening and our money there, and will never again come back nor recommend this place to anyone. They have no clue about how to treat clients, and the food is really bot worth...
Read moreAn absolute gem of a place to eat. I'm always looking around for great dining experiences and steak houses, as someone who loves steak it can be overwhelming to try and find a great place with so many options and places to choose from. When I was looking up intiial reviews, Mignon had boasted some great positive reviews, so naturally I wanted to check it out and see if the reviews match up. Firstly before I get into the main meal service was very quick and incredibly friendly. The place is quite small which I adore as it feels more intimate and unique with just the right amount of space and and a nice decor that feels so cute and warm, you just feel at home and comfy. Appetizers we had on our end were the oysters and tuna. The tuna was fresh and the creme fraiche it came with was so sumptuous! The oysters were some of the best I've had in a while after a bad experience a while ago at a famous named fish place I almost never wanted to eat oysters again, the only regret I have here is that I didn't order the 9 oysters and got 6 instead. Delicious all around. For drinks they Mignon boasts a wide variety of signature cocktails that I enjoyed I got to try the Manhattan, Cosmo and Mochachino and each of them just tatsed fabulous. Now for the main meal and dessert, the steak and fries and sauce were cooked firstly to perfection and tase was almost like butter melting in your mouth, the fries were good I enjoyed them cooked in a way I find tasty. Dessert consisted of a cream cake I forgot the name but held up just as well. I don't usually finish steak meals, but proud to say I did here, and will return again as it was just such a treat. A highly recommended spot that you'll be sure to enjoy time and time again. Thanks for the lovely meal and can't wait...
