    I Ate dinner here the other night with my fiancee and father-in-law to be and I was pleasantly surprised by Steak Frites. Overall the service was great, the food was good, and the price was very reasonable.

    My fiancee and I shared the escargot for our entree. The escargot themselves were very nice and tender. The sauce was exactly what you would expect, a lovely mixture of butter, garlic and herbs. Vampires beware.

    For my main, I had the duck confit, which was a steal at less than $20. The duck showed good technique, with crisp skin covering a juicy piece of leg meat on the bone. The vegies and potatoes that came with were equally well cooked. My fiancee and future father-in-law had the tagliatelle and mussels, respectively. Both of them really enjoyed these dishes. However, I think the tagliatelle is an odd thing to order, or to even be on the menu, at a french restaurant.

    The portion sizes were very appropriate and left us with not quite enough room to enjoy some desert. Next time, I may have to forgo the escargot so  I can try the chocolate mouse or lemon tart.

    Since we live down the street from Steak Frites, this just may become our new neighborhood restaurant.

    Went here for dinner with the wife. In the neighbourhood so was hoping to love this place. Unfortunately, it was just OK.

    Decor / atmosphere is fine. Generic "french bistro" but not annoyingly so.

    Wife had the escargot, which was OK but had to ask for bread to be served with it -- thought this would be automatic. I had the paté which was a huge portion, and was also OK (but I've had better store-bought) and served with a nice salad with absolutely no dressing. Mains were both really fatty. I realize duck confit is supposed to be so but then why drown the veg and potatoes in butter, too? I had the rib steak -- really fatty and overcooked. Ordered medium-rare but nary a pink bit in sight,

    Service was very corteous. Can't complain.

    Overall an OK place but there's better in the neighbourhood. I should mention that the price is quite reasonable. Hopefully we just caught them on a meh night,
