    First of all, on my reservation I put that we are celebrating my sons 16th birthday and I would expect the server to bring that up and there was no mention of it even when they brought the desert. It was very slow, I think they were maybe short staff. The speaker was on top of our table and we all found it annoying to hear the same stupid beat over and over. It was way to close the speaker to the table for that kind of music. I ordered fillet mignon medium rare and it was only rare. My husband and son tried it and they both said the same thing so we send it back so they can cook to the right temperature but it came back the same. Fist time ever I did not like my fillet mignon. We ordered beef tartar, it was delicious but for the amount of tartar there was too little crackers. My kids ordered drinks when their food arrived and it took for ever to get them. They had to stop eating to wait for their drinks. Anyway, I was very disappointed, we were so excited to go there but it turned out really bad. I would unfortunately never go back more recommend to someone else unless I know it's changed. I'm sorry for the bad review

    I was thoroughly impressed by the service. I didn’t just get good service from one server, but the entire team, from reception all the way to the manager. I was in Montreal on a business trip and went to Méchant Boeuf for dinner. Sarah took great care of me. I observed that she never stopped paying attention to all her customers regardless if she just took orders from a table or serving drinks. Jean who brings my order from the kitchen was also super professional and polite. He accidentally hit the chair across from me when bringing a dish. His first reaction was not his pain but apologizing to me for shaking the table! While I was eating, I also noticed Manager Simon fixing a decorative plant that flourished a bit too much under good care from the staff so it doesn’t drape too close to the table next to it. When I commented to Jean that the service is quite impressive, he shared that they have a great team there and he’s very happy doing his job. When I provided compliment for Sarah and Jean to Manager Simon, you can tell he was genuinely appreciative of the feedback and he really cares about customer experience at the restaurant. My review focuses mainly on the service as it is really impressive and rare to see exceptional service and a happy team like I saw at Méchant Boeuf. There are plenty of good food in Montreal. However, if you want to have a pleasant dining experience with good food and exceptional service, Méchant Boruf is the place to be.

    Food, service, was excellent. Went above and beyond. Steaks were cooked perfectly and made sure we were happy with our experience. The gentleman who took care of us was professional and attentive, went above and beyond. Unfortunately I didn’t get his name. Over all, 5 stars.

    Bel endroit, possibilité de stationner avec l'hôtel Nelligan juste à côté. Excellent service. Nourriture : Entrées excellentes, bavette ok. Mon conjoint a prit la côte de bœuf = juste un os et du gras. Nous l'avons mentionné au serveur qui a avisé sa collègue qui nous a offert de refaire le plat ou d'en choisir un autre. Refusée par mon conjoint, son plat a été retiré de la facture.
    Méchant BoeufResponded on February 25, 2025
    Merci pour votre retour détaillé ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience dans son ensemble. Cependant nous regrettons que la côte de bœuf n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes, et que cela ait entaché votre expérience malgré que notre équipe a su réagir rapidement pour rectifier la situation. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau bientôt, espérons pouvoir vous offrir une expérience 5 étoiles.

    The food was tasted amazing (though the cesar salad had a few too many extra bacon chunks for my liking). The server was attentive and respectful. The ambiance was great. The venue was excellent.

    We were underwhelmed and expected so much more from a steakhouse. The wine list was good and the appetizers were good to great. We had the dumplings and onion soup and would recommend both. The filet mignon was good quality but not cooked to the preference requested. Avoid the striploin! Just don’t do it. The salmon dish was good. And braised ribs, how can they be served cold??? Even after sending them back to the kitchen they were brought back lukewarm. And by the time it was returned the rest of the table had finished their meal. Our server apologized but no discount offered for the poor service from the kitchen. If you decide to go I hope your experience surpasses ours.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value all comments as they help us improve. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the appetizers and wine list, but we apologize that some aspects of your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll address the issues you mentioned with both our kitchen and service team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a better experience.
