luxe bistro

here is the thing. i went once and i remember that it wasn't bad food,serviceok. it lack something or it pretent to be something. would i go back? no. but i could be wrong. at your own risk or should i say that i am on the fence.

nice atmosphere, excellent service. order moules and fries very good. theserviceexcellent. food very good and well presented and tasty. the salmon was also tasty.

came here for lunch, and ordered the 14oz boneless rib steak with mac & cheese.

the steak was cooked perfectly rare as requested, and had a phenomenal sear. very delicious. the mac and cheese could have used a touch more sauce, but was still quite good.

it was incredibly hot outside, and unfortunately it didn't appear that they had air conditioning. however, the staff was very attentive with refilling water, and ensuring everything was great.servicewas definitely on point.

the price is on the high side, but given this is a higher end place, it was expected, and it was one of the best steaks i've had in a restaurant, so i believe it was worth it. would recommend if you're looking for a nice meal out for a special occasion.

lunch on the deck, couple of good caesars, crispy chicken burger and the surf & turf burger - pricey, messy but sooo good. frites are addicting,servicewas excellent.

came here with my co-workers for lunch and it was a wonderful experience! theservicewas very friendly, although it was a bit slow even though the restaurant was still empty when we arrived. the food was delicious! i had the seared scallops with sweet potato risotto, apples and pomegranate. it was an interesting combination of flavours and the pomegranate added a nice taste that balanced the creamy risotto. loved it! my co-workers seemed quite impressed with their stroganoff and steak tartate as well so i'll definitely be trying those next time!

i've eaten at a lot of places and i wouldn't go back to luxe. pros: ambience,service(our waitress was so nice) and the steak and lobster poutine we ordered were all great.
cons: everything else we ordered, the wine tasted a little rancid, burgers were inedible, and fish tacos tasted more like fried mush and nothing like fish. we struggled to finish the meals and just gave up after a while. to their credit, they took the food we hated off the bill but i'm just disappointed because, given the price, i would have hoped for much better food. sorry luxe, you have to do better!!

decor is very nice. bar area is pleasant in the morning sun for a brunch.servicewas good but the classic breakfast was below average. fruit was a small quantity and in sorry shape. over priced for what you get. they need to stop making smoothies at the bar. the blender sounds like a jet engine, very noisy.

greatly disappointed. overpriced. food is just average.serviceis not friendly. even our reservation for 4 had not been written down, and even though the restaurant was nearly empty it seemed to be very hard for the staff to allow us to sit at a table. will definitely not go back.

gave it another try.... i revisited luxe after having been underwhelmed previously. this time my dining partner and i both ordered caeser salad to start, the salad was good with nice pieces of real bacon. it's the kind of salad that almost has to be cut with a knife because the lettuce pieces are so big.
for our mains we each had a steak, one 8oz and one 12oz. i had the buttermilk mashed potatoes which were creamy and tasty. the steak comes with a "complimentary" sauce so i had the red pepper compote, which was quite peppery (like peppercorns). my bf had the frites with au jus which was good.

theservicewas prompt and courteous.

something is missing.... had dinner at luxe a few weeks ago on a friday night. i was out with my boyfriend for a late dinner. we hadn't made reservations anywhere so we had to wander around to find an available table. we went to two other places before landing at luxe. should have tipped us off, every other restaurant was pretty well packed and luxe was half full.

there was nothing particularly wrong with theserviceor food it was just missing something. we each ordered the organic greens to start, too many walnuts and not enough goat cheese. the dressing was "meh" nothing to write home about. i had the french onion soup, and again there was nothing wrong with it but it was missing something.

overall, uninspiring.

don't know where the criticism are coming from. my wife and i ate at luxe and we found the food andserviceto be exceptional. our only problem was that we couldn't eat more! i fully recommend luxe bistro.

been here twice and each time the steak was way over cooked. had the steak oscar and they covered it in sauce that was ice cold making everything else on the plate cold. overall over priced, not greatserviceand poor quality coming out of the kitchen.

great experiences over and over.... i have been to luxe bistro several times with my friends, yet to find a reason to dislike it. each time, i was adventurous and tried a different dish off the menu. although i don't treat myself to red meat often, i have to admit, the steak was the best i have ever tasted! i'm a seafood buff, and the fish and seafood i have tasted has been delish!
my friends had the same experience as me, lots to choose from, and really yummy.

theservicehas been impeccable. the servers were very helpful in choosing the correct wine for my meals, keeping my price range in mind. and the luxe martini's…addictive!

this is one restaurant where you leave feeling that life is good!

excellence. i have been to lux three times to date, each time was wonderful. twice was for a simple lunch and last and most anticipated was dinner.

we tried crabcakes and the scallops apps both were a taste sensation, the scallops were a slight favorite if i only was going to have one.

my date had a daily special and loved every bite, i had one of the fish off the main menu and it was sublime.

we were there on a sunday and little bonus 20% discount on wine so we had a couple of nice bottles.servicewas perfect, we never had to touch a wine bottle and not till the end was our glass ever empty.

100% recommend..

ps: the fries are fantastic.

we've had consistently good food. we've eaten here several times lately and the food is always good. we had the filet minon steak and frites which was delicious. their specials are good too. theserviceis helpful without being intrusive. we'll go back.
