Bistro St-Sauveur Apportez Votre Vin BYOB — Restaurant in Saint-Sauveur

We arrived on a Sunday evening with no reservation We were told with only 2 people in the entire restaurant that they were Not sure they could accommodate us by a surly young wait person who did not know how to smile She consulted the waiter and he condescending told us he could fit us in. Though not everything on the menu would be available. At it's peak There were 9 other people present and they turned away another party of 3. The young woman who brought the water and bread and was asked to serve the wine (it is a byob) Disappeared and we ended up serving ourselves. The waiter arrived and took our order again stating that not everything was available. My friend ordered an entree and a main Was told main was not available My other friend ordered an entree and a main and was told ..ok It was the same main. Lol.we pointed it out and we were back on track The food itself.was excellent. In fact we asked to speak to the chef to give our compliments. The waiter then stated he was the chef as well as the owner

We told him the food itself was excellent however the front staff service needed attention as they were arrogant and generally unpleasant. When we tried to talk to the waiter/chef/owner constructively when there were no other clients left..he did not receive the compliments of the food and the suggestion to improve the general wait service. In fact he commented on the way I walk. I am a 58 year old woman with some medical issues and this had absolutely no bearing on the services. I have been to low end and upscale restaurants and this restaurant is a definite pass...It is unfortunate because the locale and the food were excellent. However with so many restaurants to choose from, this place and its pitiful front service staff leave too much to be desired. Spend your money somewhere else. We left 10% tip only This reflects the good food but poor service. We had a wonderful dinner the evening before with excellent food and service from Papa Luigi only a minute away down...

• update for our second visit *

What better way to celebrate a wonderful new find but to invite more friends? Tonight we went as a party of five and those of us us who had already been, could do nothing but order the same thing we had last time. Those new to our party ordered fish (Salmon and Dore). The verdict is in... we all agreed the food was as excellent as the first time and the service, as passionate and proud as as we remembered... and rightfully so.

Another wonderful experience and we will be back again... and again.

• First visit * What an incredible surprise!

My wife and I went to this restaurant with a friend tonight and it was our first time visiting.

We were immediately greeted by our waiter who seemed extremely proud of the restaurant and its food. He asked if this was our first visit and when we told him it was, he took some serious time to explain the menu and he promised in no uncertain terms that we were in for a serious food experience. To be honest, I wondered if the food could possibly live up to the descriptions we were getting but I must tell you, every single dish was absolutely outstanding.

We started with a Caesar salad and gravlax. When the host says the spices are unique, believe when I say they are not filling around. Absolutely the best Caesar I’ve ever had. Our main courses were equally delightful! The meat, the pasta, and the vegetables were done perfectly and each dish was creative in its execution.

The desserts were equally amazing and we all agreed that this is without any hesitation, the best restaurant experience we’ve had in Saint Sauveur (and we’ve had many many great experiences) in as long as we can remember.

My only regret is that I did not get to say hello to the chef but my wife did.

We will be back very soon and look forward to another...

Edit-Je pense que vous pouvez jugez par vous-même la situation en lisant les autres réponses aux commentaires moins positifs. Veuillez noter que Anick G et Sonia G travaillent au restaurant.

We were three moms and a baby eager to try this place. What a disappointment… Our reservation was at 7h15, and we received our dishes 2 hours later. After an hour of waiting, the waitress said there was a mixup and our food would be out shortly. 45 min later, still nothing. We had to ask 2 more times for our food until it was brought out. Now, we were expecting a « gastronomie » experience, but that is not what we got. My friend ordered the arrabiata pasta(34$), thinking it would be homemade pasta. It was instant pasta, no herbs, nothing special. My fish and the lamb shank were ok. The chef came to the table to ask how the food was, we said ok, but it took a long time. He automatically got defensive and blamed the wait on the order being punched in late and my friend being lactose intolerant, no apology. A few minutes later, he came out to apologize and offer us desert on the house. A « haute gastronomie cake cooked in brandy ».That made us feel better about the experience, but it was 3 hours later so we asked for it to go. We nearly fell off our chairs when we got home and realized this cake was grocery story marble cake with sprinkles of coconut, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Guys, be warned, this is not a fine cuisine restaurant. Some people seemed to have gotten good service and enjoyed their experience, but go at...
