Steve Steakhouse — Restaurant in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

Interesting concept they have no bar. You bring wine or you drink water. No chilling bin provided for your wine either. Server opened our wine, but did not pour it.

We ordered starters and got up to smoke outside- alerted our server and left our bag on the table (with our $70 bottle of wine). Returned to a manager? Owner? Having written on our table with pen “VIP”. This was absolutely tacky as hell. With five people working front of house, and my bag sitting visibly in the table, it’s easy to communicate that the two at that table stepped outside.

I was wearing ripped jeans and my mukluks- while I don’t exactly ooze “old money” we chose that establishment to have a decent dinner in our small town. I make good money and I like steak. Pretty simple.

Having come from a previous life before tech as a restaurant manager, it was clear they thought we were gonna dash.

We ended up eating starters, filet mignon and beef cheek, two desserts and coffees.

While I was thoroughly unimpressed with the tacky “vip” written on our paper tablecloth in pen, I tipped 25% on our bill and let that say all it needed to.

I will not ever return.

Considering you can’t afford to keep your bar stocked, judging someone by their jeans and doing something as tacky as writing “VIP” on their table in pen was a terrible decision. I just wanted to treat my best friend to a good meal, I work crazy hours as a product manager in tech, and I am not getting fancied up for “Steve’s” in Saint Jean, it’s not Michelin starred or in a golf course. The bill was like $140? I sat down with a $70 bottle of Osoyoos LaRose wine from...

This steakhouse is a true hidden gem. I visited with friends from the area for dinner, and we were immediately impressed by the welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. The restaurant boasts two seating sections, both spacious and bright.

Each bite was a testament to the chef's skill, with our steak cooked to perfection and the fries crispy and flavorful. The accompanying sauce was a highlight, truly elevating the dish.

Service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. The prices were reasonable, adding to the overall value of our dining experience. A unique feature of this steakhouse is the option to bring your own wine, which added a personal touch to our meal.

A standout moment was meeting Steve, the proprietor. His warm hospitality and genuine care for each guest made us feel like VIPs. Steve's attention to detail and dedication to excellence were evident in every aspect of the restaurant.

The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding a touch of elegance to our meal. Thank you, Steve, for providing such a memorable dining experience during our travels in Canada. This steakhouse is a must-visit for anyone seeking great food, exceptional service, and a...

Being anglophone, the name of this restaurant felt like there was a good chance someone spoke English. Once we started to speak everyone addressed us in English. The food was fantastic, the steak was cooked to perfection, the ribs were literally fall-off-the-bone, and so delicious. It didn't matter that the music playing was all in French, it was delightful to listen to, and really set the atmosphere of the restaurant. The eating area was clean with tables nicely spaced. The tables were set with everything needed. To look across the restaurant it all came together beautifully. They do not serve alcohol, or maybe it was just not beer, but they encouraged you to go to the convenience store across the driveway to purchase your alcohol and drink it in the restaurant. Very friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant. The prices were a little on the higher end but what you received in service, food prep, presentation and atmosphere is worth...
