Sterling in Gatineau

Best Steakhouse in the Ottawa region.. FANTASTIC!! ENJOYED every Bite.

Very expensive but very good! Yummmm

Everything was delicious, really a lovely evening.

Amazing food. The whole group loved it. Steaks - must Food : 5/5

The food was very mediocre, too much and too fatty and few vegetables. This was compensated by the very friendly service. The environment was also pleasant, with good sound insulation. Price-quality ratio is not good.

Ok food and service, not as hyped as the price

The only reason its getting 2 stars is because the steak was delicious. The oysters were awful, server got our order wrong and overall service wasnt great.

Excellent service! Fabulous food but it took a long time to receive it. Otherwise it was very good! I recommend!

Sterling Steakhouse is simply exceptional! The quality of the meat is incomparable, and the cooking is always perfectly controlled. The atmosphere is warm and the service impeccable. It s a must for lovers of good meat. I highly recommend

Sick as experience. Everything is good

Wow, great dinner at Sterling last night and exceptional service by Yan. Everything was perfect especially for a celiac person. THANKS We will return there without fail. Dietary restrictions: They even made me a gluten-free dessert for my birthday. In addition to being able to enjoy fries without contamination. Mmm thank you.

Pascals service was impeccable, we really appreciated it. The beef tartares were 10/10 and the croutons were soft, it was succulent and I highly recommend. On the other hand, there is a bit of a lack of atmosphere, music and color in the restaurant.

Excellent food but the terrace lacks love e.g. A coat of paint

Awesome place

Truly an experience to have. Possibly the best steak I ve had in the NCR. Grilled to perfection and everything that comes with it is just as tasty. Had the Table d hote and enjoyed the salmon tartare, along with the soup and the 12 oz sirloin steak. Finished it off w a Millefeuille for a great night. The whole table had nothing but great things to say about the food and the recommended wine - thanks to our thoughtful and knowledgeable waiter. Waiting staff and overall atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming and overall made for a great time.

Food was really bland and tasteless here. You need to use more spice! Also their servers were really rude and didnt pay any attention to our requests and when we gave a small tip, he became aggressive and cursed in french. Really shocked at the way we were treated here. This was beyond unbelievable. Never going here again to this place run by trashy people.

So good I recommend the tartare, the workers are very kind and make you feel like royalty. Parking: Very well located

Despite the excellent service, I am very disappointed with the meal. Nothing to do with the Sterling before. The poterhouse is no longer offered. We offer you a ribeyes and we receive a rib steak. Cooking requested not carried out. The Monte Carlo potato was indescribably sad. I had the impression of eating in a cheap SteakHouse but at the price of a great restaurant. It was my last visit

Both the food and service were amazing. I enjoy when a nicer restaurant still provides great portion sizes too!

Not as great as we had hoped food wise. Service was fantastic

Very good restaurant, very good service and very nice dishes. On the other hand, I find that the exterior of the restaurant lacks maintenance and the terrace leaves something to be desired. The pavement at the exit is dangerous, the bricks are poorly placed, which caused me to trip and hurt my foot.

Amazing food and service! The steak was unreal cooked perfectly medium rare when asked for it. Great staff Food : 5/5

Best steak house in the region

Came here with my family to have dinner. Outstanding service, exemplary dishes, and very pleasant atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Pretty good food. Didnt expect this type of restaurant near our B&B Food

Very nice restaurant in Gatineau area with great food and service.

A1 all around

Service was excellent and the food as well. My steak was cooked exactly like I wanted. It was not very busy when I went (6pm on a Tuesday) so couldnt tell how they would handle a rush. But it was all top notch.

Food was amazing. Had the cowboy rib steak and it was done to perfection. Beautiful atmosphere and the service was good but with some minor hiccups. Overall, this place is amazing!

Great service and very nice quality steak

Most competent and attentive waiter, excellent wine recommendation. on the other hand, the dishes lacked flavor and refinement, the purees were not smooth and my filet mignon was not cooked as Pittsburgh wanted. For the atmosphere everything was perfect with a bonus sunset exactly in our window.

Service was good. Music was a little strange (elevator music). Got the salmon with risotto: for me, the salmon didnt taste fresh and was over cooked. The portion was quite large if youve taken a starter. Would recommend reducing the portion and adjusting the price accordingly. Also, the round tables need some love. The edge of the table slopes towards you and for some of us, the plate would pop up and down while trying to cut the food because of the extension pieces. The experience was not worth the price, for me. Quite traditional and nothing innovative, artistic about the dishes.

White glove service has not diminished here. Food was excellent and we were well looked after. Staff made it even more special by adding to our Star Wars theme, played the theme song and drew Yoda in chocolate for the birthday man. Much appreciated

With profound disappointment I write this review. I have been here for many many events. Birthdays, business luncheons, Christmas parties and special occasions. A friend came into town and I raved that we need go here. I was so disappointed with the steak that I thought it should go back. The bone in Cowboy cut was a gristle laden end and contained no bone. lol It was cooked decently, but the cut of meat was just bad. For a place that prides themselves on the cut of meat, I was really quite disappointed. Many times I have been to this restaurant. Always been loyal to the place, but sadly that has changed. New management often brings these things to the forefront. In this case, it certainly did.

Always very well received and service with Peter, Stephane and his team

Service was five star. The filet mignon was top notch. The mashed potatoes came out lukewarm and the side vegetables were a little undercooked. Parking: Parking is behind the building.

Excellent high-end restaurant in Gatineau, impeccable service, cozy atmosphere and exceptional food!

This place is stunning. The food is amazing (kudos to the chef), the indoor decor is beautiful and the staff are the best. Its pricy but I recommend to anyone that can afford it.

Superb dining experience! Excellent service! Awesome ambient music with my favorite type of jazz! Thank you for this great discovery and we ll see you again!

I wish I could give 0 stars.... I recently visited this restaurant on Valentine s Day and had a disappointing experience that has left a bad taste in my mouth, both figuratively and literally. I ordered a rack of lamb, hoping for a delicious and memorable meal to celebrate the special occasion. However, what followed was far from what I had expected. Halfway through my meal, I made a shocking discovery - the lamb was served completely raw. I immediately called over the server, who agreed that it was raw and quickly took it away. Not asking what I would like to do. He then returned with a cooked lamb, but it turned out to be the same piece of meat that I had originally sent back. It still had my bite marks in it, which made me feel uncomfortable and grossed out. At this point, I had lost my appetite and decided to leave the dish untouched. Although I didn t want to make a fuss on such a romantic occasion, I couldn t help but feel disappointed with the quality of the food and the restaurant s lack of attention to detail. Later that night, I became severely ill, experiencing symptoms such as vomiting, chills, fever, diarrhea and general malaise that lasted through to the next day. My boyfriend called the restaurant and informed the manager about what had happened and the manager said the best he could do was offer us a free meal as an apology. While I understand this gesture, this doesnt nearly make up for the ruined Valentines day, making me severely ill, and making me have to miss school in order to go to the hospital for food poisoning. The bill wasnt cheap, which is fine, but people can get very sick, and even die from certain bacteria found in raw meat such as lamb. When my boyfriend told the manager we wouldnt even be returning to the restaurant, his response was I dont blame you. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant. While I understand that mistakes can happen in any kitchen, the restaurant s response to the situation left me very disappointed. Therefore, I would advise potential diners to exercise caution when considering this establishment for their dining needs.

We had great experiences the food was great everyones enjoyed the classy environment service was good and the stuff very friendly but we mostly enjoyed the food wow

Nice service and delicious food

The ambiance is superb I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic. Special thanks to chefB We all enjoyed your delicious food especially the steak I can t wait to come back for another great experience by the way did I mention the phenomenal View

Overall, my experience at Sterling is always exceptional. From high quality food to the greatest service, this restaurant never disappoints. I highly recommend dining here for a memorable experience and satisfaction.

Exceptional service, divine meal Best restaurants in Gatineau

Best steak in the area with the best service

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Excellent experience! Add Stirling to the places to go.

(December 28, 2023) It s a fact, the Sterling restaurant enjoys an excellent reputation. Treat yourself to impeccable service and an unforgettable table. This is the restaurant par excellence. Thank you Mr. Hafid for the welcome and the selection of wines. Thanks to the entire Sterling team. You honor the cuisine of our region. Its always a pleasure to see you again!

Delicious steaks and excellent service. Highly recommend. You cannot go wrong here.

Great atmosphere Superb service 100 % recommend Food : 5/5

The meal was good and the service as well, but our table was near the window and there was a cold draft. Towards the end of our meal there were loud meat saw sounds coming from the kitchen and the employees seemed to be preparing to close. However, considering the price we paid for our dishes, a bit surprised and disappointed. I would also like to add that the bread served was not up to the quality of your dishes.

Warm atmosphere attention to detail caring excellent service! A culinary experience and wine selection like no other! Thanks to Peter and Tristan for a great evening!

Unfortunately, this last visit was not up to the high price standards.

We had a large group of 25 people. We had one main waiter, and he was seemingly angry right from the start. Im not sure if it was because we were an English group, and he clearly had trouble with the language, so that was an issue. They could have ensured that the main waiter was at least able to speak English since an Anglo made the reservation. Although my steak was excellent, my husbands was not hot as were a few others. Some were undercooked and others overcooked. The veal was tough and hard to cut even with the steak knife for the 2 that had ordered it. The soup was lukewarm, the timing of the service was very slow from taking orders to pouring wine. One was told to wait when asking for a second drink. And the billing was not clear. IMO, they were not prepared for such a large group.

Best Steakhouse in Gatineau/Ottawa Area!

Excellent service, good taste of steaks cooked on maple wood. The shrimp and scallops were ordinary and overcooked, the soup lacked much refinement and was not filtered (large pieces of vegetables present in the bowls). No choice of microbrewery beer.

This is a nice French restaurant. All good with many steak choices good for meat lovers.

Excellent service, lovely location. Food was delicious and well portioned!

Beautiful Restaurant right on the water. Atmosphere is relaxing and service is impeccable. Our waiter Tristan was amazing. Food was cooked to perfection. Great visit, highly recommend

If you want the best steak in the region. This is the place to go. The service is also top notch and it has a nice quiet atmosphere.

Amazing food and services

Could eat all my steak, one end was grissly but the rest of the food was excellent, and the service was excellent too.

Food was subpar for the price paid. My potato and vegetables were cold, steak nice and hot but at this price point I expected perfection. Salad was drowning in a very tasty dressing, a little more attention to detail would have gone a long way The service was really good. Parking: Great easy access to free parking

Delicious, great variety of wines and excellent service!

We absolutely enjoyed our experience at Sterling. The steaks are phenomenal, and so is the wine selection. But my favourite thing by far was the stellar service provided by Gen! She s so knowledgeable and helped us through are meat selection and explained every cut thoroughly! Absolutely would recommend and we hope to visit again as soon as possible!

my first time at sterling, I had a filet mignon and lobster medium rare the best ever I will go back for sure

Great food! Portions are quite big, an appetizer and meal would have been too much for me.

Good service. Party with 20 people. We had a pre-established menu which had not been discussed with us by email (proof later) but the manager came to tell us that yes it was said and nowhere was it mentioned. A pregnant woman with us asked for a well-done steak since she couldnt eat a rare steak and the waiter refused this cooking, she had to insist on several occasions to be able to have this cooking. Went all eating and service good but expensive for what it was.

Very good. Service amazing.

For a good steak, and an atmosphere, this is the place.

I was referred by a friend to come and experience the Sterling dining experience. I was blown away by how rustic and yet elegant the premises were. We were greeted by such elegance and given an amazing tour of the restaurant. The staff was friendly and polite, our waitress, clody, was very attentive to our needs and I was more than pleasantly surprised. The soup of the day was hardy, filling and just as flavourful. The only thing that matches the quality of the food at sterling is the embiance between the staff and the diners.If I could relive this embiance a thousand lifetimes, I would.

Very nice restaurant, most pleasant services and what can I say about the dishes, best experience in a restaurant in a long time. Keep up the good work

Parfait.

First time at Sterling celebrating 3 peoples B-day. 1. Atmosphere is OK, quiet and hot inside. Nothing is special about the setting. I think the restaurant didnt turn on their AC. 2. Price is overpriced. 6 of us took the prefixed menue which I dont recommend. We enjoyed the soup and appetizer but when came to the main course, the Steak was OK, the Boar meat was salty and has citrus taste to it, the Lamb has too much fat and grilled with crumbs on the outside which it turned me away. 3. For the desert, we were all disappointed. We didnt appreciate where they gave 3 people their full piece of cake and took one piece of chocolate fudge cake cut into 3 small pieces then put a candle on and said thats your desert included from your menu.. LOL... DO NOT order sparkling water. Restaurant charged a flat fee of $32 plus for 4 of us ordered sparkling water and didnt get our own bottle. Restaurant used the same bottle that goes around filled up for people in the restaurant, not often enough for the price. Bartender didnt even know how to make a non-alcoholic drink. The server kept trying to push for alcohol drinks. ..LOL.. 4.. Service was OK. the server only stopped by once to ask if food tasted good. 6 people, food only, almost $800. We went to other fine dine restaurants way much better for less.

Its my favorite steakhouse in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. The portions are larger than expected. The steaks are simply awesome. The price is right for the quality offered.

Good cooking

Service wasn t great and the food wasn t as good as I was hoping it would be for the price. In my opinion, the Keg is better and more affordable!

The service was impeccable. Silverware that we used for the first course was replaced. Every detail of the service was impeccable. The food was good but not as great as the service. My house salad had way too much dressing on it. I ordered a crabcake as my entrée and it was unfortunately served on top off more of the heavily dressed lettuce. The crabcake was a bit sturdy (dry, tough). My husband ordered the halibut. It was slightly overcooked, but still very good. The side vegetables were excellent. And it was our anniversary and they gave us a complementary chocolate cake dessert. It was old-school generous, and we appreciated it. I would go back, but I would request my salad to be lightly dressed, and maybe order something different. Definitely worth giving them another shot.

Its been a while since Ive had a decent steak. Can safely claim that my time there has been the best service Ive had all year thanks to Myriam and Shaw-Michael, theyre passionate, dedicated and focused individuals who go up and down flights of stairs for their customers. Lastly the place looks amazing, great views, great historical venue. Perfect spot for a fancy date. You will be treated like royalty and nothing less.

The place is way overpriced and overrated. Would never return or recommend

Amazing hospitality and the food is out of this world. Simply the right place to celebrate an anniversary. Food : 5/5

I adore

Say WOW meat specialist who said that because their Filet Mignon at $70.00 for 8 ounces is hard and not tender at all. Very salty spinach dish and the fries not worthy of a restaurant. I recommend eating a filet mignon at the Sterling restaurant in Laval. Super service by Shauwn Michael a service ace Thats never again for us

Cozy setting, prompt service, delicious food, reasonable price - will definitely return for special occasions!

Filet mignon with a little smoky taste, just amazing!!! Not to mention Yans perfect service

Great place, will probably go again. Parking was a little hard to figure out.

thank you everything was delicious!

Great place for high quality steaks, it is very expensive though.

Last night I was looking to take my fiancé out for the nicest steak dinner that we could get within 100km of our town. We went to Sterling for the first time, we both said that it was the best steak we have ever had in our lives. On top of the delicious food, our friendly server Pascal made the experience even better with his unique drinks. I would highly recommend Sterling to anyone that is looking for high quality dining.

Super!

Nice restaurant. Expensive. Beautiful patio with a view of the ottawa-gatineau river.

Excellent service and very welcoming and the location is superb

Very over rated. We ordered steaks. Two of them were not cooked to the desired doneness. The other steak was mediocre, a bit chewy. The prices are high end resto prices (which I do not mind). But when you charge prime you cant deliver a mediocre product. The service was ok but nothing special. I would have been of fine with this product quality somewhere that charges 40/50$ a plate . But at 90$ a plate, ofcourse thats plus apps plus drinks etc.. its just not worth it.

Excellent meal in every way. Very professional and attentive service from Émilie. We will come back!

First time visiting this restaurant and was not disappointed. Service was great, thank you Shawn Michael...food was amazing...well definitely be going back. Highly recommend.

Disappointing first experience. The welcome was correct and the service ok, nothing more. Place the plates without going behind the customer. The most disappointing thing was the food, at this price you expect a little more. Baguette and very ordinary butter. Soup too salty and thick texture. My meal: Halibut in a parmesan crust with curry and coconut milk. Really not tasty, it just tasted like paprika and curry powder...My boyfriends steak was tough covered in a yellow sauce that wasnt tasty at all. Dessert was ok. The atmosphere was lovely on the terrace and the waiter was nice, which is why I give it 2 stars. At $92 a table d hôte it was very disappointing.

A little expensive but experience 10/10 thank you Yan

We will not hide the fact that Gatineau is not overflowing with top restaurants. However, the Sterling is located in the perfect location with a terrace that allows us to enjoy the view which makes the experience solid. Finally a restaurant that serves lamb at its true value and not as if it were a rare antiquity. I had 6 chops on my plate and not 2 or 4 so well done. It was very good and not more expensive than elsewhere.

Ive been fortunate to celebrate many milestones at Sterling, and I keep returning because its simply one of the best restaurants in town. The food is always delicious and well prepared; the service is impeccable. I highly recommend trying it out for a classy, intimate vibe.

Super good service and excellent food! There were so many choices that looked delicious that I had a hard time choosing! The temperature of the food and the cooking of the meats were just perfect. The service was fast and efficient and we had a nice, quiet little corner for a romantic meal. We are already planning to go back to try the other dishes that tempted us. Parking: Free public parking located behind the restaurant.

The location is amazing with a river view, and the Gatineau hills in the background. Our food was excellent, but was not served hot. The server was knowledgeable, and friendly without being overbearing. My major issue was both the server and the busboy had dirty fingernails, the uniforms were slovenly, and the table settings were those of another era. I expected more attention to detail from a restaurant at this level. However, the server still received 20%, and we will be back.

Nice place to have a steak.

Exceptional meal and service. If you are looking for a restaurant where you will have a quality meal, this is the restaurant you want.

Great dinner out with friends! Most of us opted for the table dhote and the one who didnt, regretted it (of course their a la carte meal was also amazing) Food was cooked perfectly and served at a perfect temperature, wine selection and drinks were great, and the service was impeccable. Was our first time, but well be back again soon Im sure.

This place used to be the best steakhouse in town but I have been 3 times in the last 2 years and they miss-cooked the steak in all 3 times :/ Sure they offered to correct their mistake but it takes forever to make a new one and I end up being forced to eat an overcooked steak Quality of the food went down as well This place is no longer that good unfortunately and that s sad as I used to love it

Second time back to the Sterling, always top notch

In my opinion, best food in town!

The place is falling into tatters. Its beautiful inside but the water leaks on the ceiling, the deteriorating exterior cladding... its weird with crooked frames that it looks like Im the only one to have seen... I was shown that the dining table high at $92 (I didnt think to ask for an a la carte menu). I said to myself, its not my place to ask... poof the sterling... Im not going back

Great service, the staff is very attentive! The food is more than excellent I highly recommend

Great steaks and impressive wine selection. Great service. Enjoyed our night.

Fabulous

Prices went up. 350$ for 2. The food and service was great. We enjoyed our night.

Food is excellent! But maybe because of many people we have to Wai a little bit longer time for dishes.

Une traite ! Cest certain que pour ce type de restaurant nous nous attendions à la perfection. Et cétait effectivement très bon ! Haute qualitée de nourriture et excellent vin pour accompagner. De plus seulement deux personnes sur cinq avait une table dhôte et vu que cétait la fête de mon conjoint, nous avons tous eu droit à un dessert sans demander! Jy retournerai!

We thoroughly enjoyed our office Christmas lunch. The setting was on the main floor with lots of natural light overlooking the stunning Ottawa River view. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Two of our party of 16 were not so keen on the accompanying sauce for the salmon. Otherwise the favourite was coq au vin; most ordered lamb shank with mushroom risotto and vegetables. It was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to returning!! Thank you!

Delicious filet mignon. The calamari is very tasty as well.

Fantastic!

I am not even mad, I am disappointed With that kind of money I would go to The Keg, Attelier, Brassica, or Next Food. Much better food in the same price range. Service was awesome and both servers were really attentive. However out of the 6 dishes we ordered in our group, 6 were overcooked. Even the Maigret de Canard was fully cooked! La Table DHote, was extremely bland, flavourless! Soup was cold, the ceviche had no taste (If you want an awesome ceviche go to Petit Peru in Hull) Also, there was a special, and I think the special was beef that was almost going bad, because both my wife and me had stomach issues that night (see other reviews with the same issues. In a restaurant whose specialty is the beef, there is no excuse of serving overcooked, going bad, food.

Disappointed, food was tepid and we had to send it back. Restaurant was not overflowing so this was not the reason Given the prices at this restaurant, about $300 for two, expected better and has been in the past. Service was sloppy. Will we be back? Not sure.

Very good service and meal

Beautiful view of the Gatineau river sitting on the nice patio. Food is amazing, had a delicious New York steak with all the different sauces on the side , for appetizer braised Scallop and a spectacular Burrata salad! Service was really good. A definite thumps up, you wont be disappointed.

Between Ottawa and Gatineau - this is the only true steak house.

Excellent steakhouse! Filet mignon cooked to perfection and the burrata salad was excellent!

Excellent restaurant, Stephane our server was perfect, we had a wonderful evening there. The dishes were succulent and the portions generous. I will come back with pleasure, an address to know.

Amazing stake house right cross the river

Very good steak

Amazing service and excellent food! Our server was Stefan and he made our night! The anniversary touch was extremely thoughtful! We will be back for sure!

Correct nothing more, server a little haughty.

This place is the definition of the best steak house in the capital region. Amazing views, exceptional service, and some of the best food I have I had in the city. The 20oz cowboy steak melts in your mouth and was exploding with flavors. Stop going to trash steakhouses and go to Sterling to discover what a steak should taste like.

Great service. Best steak in Québec (therefore best in Canada). Best view around in Gatineau

Food was horribly cooked. Worst experience at Sterling. Been there often and always loved the quality and service until my last visit. Meet was not cooked as I requested and it was cold. Oyster were hot, not even touched them. Soup was cold. It was safer to eat at McDonald than Sterling.... AVOID

The road was not very good

Expensive but delicious!

really nice experience

My boyfriend and I went to Sterling last night, spent almost 400$, as much as the meal was good, the service was very poor, we sat outside when we realized that their was a bumblebee nest underneath our table, we told the server and he said if you dont move that much you should be ok, he was full aware of the bee nest! Then our food arrives and the bee s got crazy and even stung my boyfriend, we needed to move around to finally go inside, by then our plates were cold. We bought a bottle a wine which was never poured by the server, and a really stupid comment but totally makes a difference, change your cheap toilet paper! Its suppose to be a fancy restaurant and you have the thinnest toilet paper! Any ways, we wont be going back, we would have expected a much better service for a fancy restaurant!!!

Patio view is great, service is very good. Due to manpower shortage, serving is very slow. Only got soup and appetizer in the first hour. Steak is 5 star. But scallops are not recommended, almost $10 for each.

Expensive yes. Steak and salad will cost you almost $100 dollars per person but the food was probably the best I have ever eaten. Compliments to the chef. The flavours, staff, and presentation of the food were world class. Huge outdoor bbq and steaks cut in house. Great job!!!

Cowboy beef taste very very good. I feel Scallop too expensive and small portions. Beef tata appetizer and soup is average.

Was told for years that this was the place for high quality food in the area, with a price to match. We went for my birthday and it was quite the mixed bag. The food itself was up and down. Appetizers were absolutely phenomenal, you have to try the escargot and spinach layered pastry. The steak was very average, with probably one of the worst peppercorn sauce Ive ever had. The catch was the cake. On its own, delicious. Not homemade-level delicious, but delicious for a restaurant cake. However, each and every person who had the cake (about half the table) found themselves sick the day after. Me? I had extra cake from someone who didnt eat his for the day after and, shocker, I was sick both days after I ate it. The food isnt worth 2 stars, but getting sick after eating a restaurant is not good at all. The extra star is for the great appetizers and the bar having almost anything we were asking for.

not worth the money. was ok. steak and shrimp overdone do not think I would go back or recommend.

Wow quite an experience They are incapable of respecting the cooking of the meats, the lamb and the steak were simply raw. flavorless, same thing for potatoes and vegetables, flavorless. The warm soup as well as the snail puffs and what about the blueberry cake, I think he bought it at WalMart. Wine, 3x the price. I got a bottle for $65. I can see that there are good comments, so that tells me that there are no standards, I may have come across the wrong chef... All this for a nice $387 for two people, at that price they had no room for error.

As always, the steaks were incredible & the maître D, Peter, was beyond accommodating and so very attentive.

Great food and service. We were seated inside but the restaurant has a great patio with nice views of Ottawa River. The pationis by the road but it does not seem too busy. I had surf and turf apetizer which consisted one jumbo shrimp and 1/4 cup beef tartare served with yummy crackers. Perfect size of appetizer in my view. Tasty and nicely served. I had a goat cheese filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes. Good size portion, not too big and not too small. Goat cheese adds amazing and interesting flavor to the steak. Potatoes were very smooth and tasty. Nice presentation however the dish could use a nice garhish of fresh herbs like parsley or chives but that is a very small detail. For desert I had peacan cake. I though I was getting and pie but the piece was bigger then expected. Coffee was a bit bitter. Overall a great experience. Parking: Plenty of parking.

Very nice evening in the company of a great team. Thank you to Peter, Myriam, Arianne and Stéphane for your warm welcome. It was a pleasure to be in your company. Thank you for your service and listening to our various needs. Annie and Stéphan.

Probably one of the best dinners Ive ever had. The best comparison for this steakhouse is Gibbys in MTL, and the steak at Sterling just way outmatched it. My other dishes were just as wonderful as the steak. Absolutely bonkers that they could develop this flavour profile in their steak, its just a unique experience. The menu had a nice amount of protein and seafood options without being overwhelming. Its such a red flag if a restaurant menu is too long, and this one is perfect. Service was incredible, I had the best time. Super considerate, experienced servers that you just dont find elsewhere. Everyone knew their stuff. Had an awesome little tour from the manager and a great conversation. The wine list is comprehensive and has a ton of price points. They had our favourite Portuguese import! Atmosphere is also unbeatable - Really gorgeous restaurant. Yeah, no notes, super thankful for the experience.

Simply the best restaurant I have been to. The service is very professional. Amazing views from the patio. Generous potions and fantastic food

Wow excellent

Delicious. Amazing menu

Summary: I wanted to love the place but left disappointed. More than two star but not three based on the ever elusive price/ambience/service calculation. The highs; classic steakhouse decor in an old rambling house on the Gatineau River, great views of the Ottawa and Gatineau Rivers, tuxedod wait staff. The lows; overpriced, unimaginative, poorly prepared food. After we were there, my 26 year old son who had been there before unbeknownst to me summed it up to me as Overrated . Hmm. More details: When you enter the restaurant from where you would mostly likely park, you see an outside presence that says We dont care . See photos. Seriously!? Rotting siding with the styrofoam insulation showing. A back entrance that is dumpy looking (its better in this photograph. I was there a month before but my phone was out of power.) It looked like a place for the staff to smoke, litter and leave trash. They didnt know how to make a Vesper Martini. Should be a well-known classic by now. To their credit, they deducted the sickly sweet lemonade vodka cocktail from the bill. Its a steakhouse. They should know perfect doneness. My medium rare pushed medium. The accompanying mushrooms were layered with a floury red wine (?) sauce. They forgot the fries. After reminding the server, they came back with a stainless steel container of overcooked damp fries. Blah. Wife and other son were also left unimpressed. Cant imagine ever returning soon except for the ambience and view.

Went there last night. From the parking to the attentive staff to the meal we had (table dhote).... everything was great. We thoroughly enjoyed the expérience. We will be back. À bien tôt !

Excellent service from arrival to departure. The food through the presentation and cooking as well as the wine/cocktails were at the height of this restaurant, impeccable. We had a pleasant evening of celebration and will definitely return. I highly recommend if you are a fan of high quality steaks and seafood. One recommendation I would make would be to add a tomohawk or wagyu steak to the menu and offer an additional poultry dish.

Super great steak house

Parking: Easy access parking Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility

still make an outstanding steak. so glad they survived covid and returned with the consistency we remembered.

You can see how many dead mussels here. For such a fine dining restaurant, it is totally unacceptable. Asked several times for the bread and it comes together with starter, maybe the bread was just ready at that time. The service is good and staffs are friendly.

Service was horrible Food has gone downhill

Food was okay, service was bad. Over priced and they charged for a refill of machined soda Diet Coke.

Unfortunately a restaurant that has lost a lot of its quality. The food was average, the shrimp tasteless and way overcooked and the filet mignon not up to the expected standard. On the other hand, the service was excellent. Not recommended, there are plenty of better options nearby

Amazing food, staff and ambiance. Highly knowledgeable staff make sure you have exactly the perfect pairings. Parking: Parking on-site many spaces

Bravo! Très bien fait! The tartar, soup, steak and roasted veg were perfectly executed. Their sauces were superb (had and opportunity to try the port reduction and peppercorn). I tried a morsel of my brothers bison steak and that was even better than my perfect steak. Very pleasant and attentive (but not intrusive) service. Warm atmosphere and very pleasing ambience. Excellent!

Great steak. Service was slow, but gave us time to chat. We had a great evening. Great wine list. A must in Gatineau/Ottawa. Best steak in the region for sure.

Beautifully restored old house, located over looking a river.we had steak cooked to perfection. Bread was freshly baked. All in all was a very good experience Parking: Parked free on the restaurant parking lot,

This restaurant was very good, unfortunately not anymore. It is very overpriced for what serviced. The quality has drastically gone down not to mention the horrible service. Our 2 waitresses where completely unprofessional and non challant. Very disappointing when your dropping at least 200$/person to be treated so badly is really unacceptable in a restaurant of this caliber. Vet your wait staff better.

Never again. I have been to corporate events at this restaurant 40+ times and it was good most of the time (except when the manager offered lobster tails without authorization during pre-established menus). Dinner with my sweetheart, reservation for 5:30 p.m., door locked at 5:20 p.m. We return at 5:35 p.m. At the entrance, the chef shouts with someone at reception, we are told that this is what happens when people are passionate. Were customers, but that shouldnt count. Christmas table dhôte, the soup of the day was lukewarm, pitiful (beans/vegetables) and the portion tiny. The scallop was good, but not the portion. The main course, the prime ny steak 12oz, not edible. Fat, covered in yellow sauce and asparagus...since when has a steakhouse covered its best dish?? The rest of the meal was uninteresting/problematic. I dont know what happened (quiet day, our urban clothing, the carelessness of the restaurant), but our meal was not worth 50% of the price paid. If it was my first time, I would say we ll see . But given my many previous experiences at Sterling, Im going to say we wont see in the future, sorry. $250 for two tables d hôtes without wine, for this result, finished! Adios.

Food was great...service was fantastic..the atmosphere was more private. I give this place a two thumbs up

Food, service, and ambiance all STERLING.
