Food was MEH 🙄😳🙁 and service was the same. Really disappointed because location is great and terrace was cozy. Nope. Not recommend this place. And please. Change your chief 🤔🤐🤐🤐🤐. Salad was not fresh( arugula) and pizza was disgusting. PS. Did you see an owner response? Accusing me of creating a new profile just to put bad review on them? Hahhahahah really?😂😂😳😳😳 I will put a zero star for them 😳🤣 if I can. And I will add: couple sitting near us returned their plate 😳🤨 with a burned onion rings and the server girl never come back to us to ask about our choice of wine 😂😂😂 Well done ppl 🙄🤐🤐🤐

All in all our experience here tonight was disappointing; the food was meh and the service was unpleasant. None of the dishes tasted fresh or were particularly interesting. For instance, the fish & chips were soggy, doughy and lacking any texture. The ribs and burger weren't any better.

The owners have created something very special. The rustic look and feel along with an affordable yet creative menu make this a wonderful dining experience. The owners take care of their clientèle and their passion shines through. Bravo!

We started with the Ceasar salads entrée at 12$ and the plates were absolutely RIDICULOUS I've never in my life seen such a small entrée and especially not for a 12$ salad!! I swear there was like 15 pieces of cut lettuce with their garnishes on a tea plate! I had the 1/2 rib plate for 21$ which were ok because a little dry and the it was served with fries and 1 pickle no coleslaw or sauce, I had to pay 1.50$ for a tiny cup of sauce... basically its VERY minimalist for the price they charge and should you ask for the stuff you usually expect with the same dishes you can expect to pay extra. Not going to go there again. Truly not worth the bucks.

Nothing really bad, but nothing extraordinary either. The burger StMo looks good, but it was a bit overdone and the fries were freshly removed from the fridge 🙂

I was so disappointed.. the soup was of questionable taste, not even served with a bun... The marinated steak looked like it had been boiled.. a person without teeth could have eaten it. And the portion is far from generous. The word gourmand has no place..

Owner with no respect for his customers, overpriced restaurant for foods like frozen fries. Everything is on the container (nice deco) nothing for the content (the food).

September 23, 2024

I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The food was bland and poorly cooked, as if it had been prepared in a hurry. The dishes were lukewarm and sorely lacking in flavor. Additionally, the portions were ridiculously small for the asking price. I definitely wont be returning and I dont recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal

★★★★★
September 23, 2024

Superb romantic evening on the St-Mo terrace. INCREDIBLE duck and scallop carpacio. I dared even though I don t eat scallops and it was really good! The filet mignon skewer was excellent and the pepper sauce with a particularly special and tasty taste. The forest beef tartare was also succulent with a taste different from the tartars we taste! The drinks were also superb! They have a very varied choice of mocktails! I am really happy with our choice for a romantic restaurant! The fried ice cream scoops and specialty coffees are also stupid! They have new owners and it seems damned!

By far one of the best restaurants I have been to!! Impeccable service and a finger-licking menu from A to Z A restaurant that is becoming increasingly rare!!! Not a chain with everything pre-made and frozen... fresh cooking with excellent taste Fried squid starter Filet mignon (delicious pepper sauce) Hamburger the stmo with a meatball to roll on the floor Salmon tartare with notes of freshness that will delight your lips!! And a finale with donuts with cherry cream cheese and amaretto too yummy!!! I recommend this place x 10000

Quite simply the worst pizza Ive eaten in my life! The service was non-existent, never got a glass of water and didnt even come see us. And when she does, she has a nasty attitude. So disappointing! One of the worst restaurants Ive been to in my life! Following the owners message, I am removing a star for ambiances. This type of behavior explains exactly what I wanted to mention. Additionally, the pizza crust is very thin and is overwhelmed with flour. It has no taste, it looks like a hybrid of nan bread and pita bread, but never really a pizza dough. The sauce is also not acceptable for a Margarita pizza. Plus sliced tomatoes that have no place on a Margarita pizza. I read the other comments to see how the owner responds to his customers who are not happy, it is clear that it will never improve. Continue to live in denial.

The food is ok, but nothing more. I had the Saint-Mo Burger with poutine and a non-alcoholic strawberry Daiquiri. The dessert was excellent by all accounts. Brownies with vanilla ice cream. On the terrace outside, the atmosphere was quite calm. Located on the edge of the river. Good service, fast and friendly.

August 23, 2024

Me and my friends had the salmon tartare, it only tasted like the vinaigrette unfortunately, the salad was flat and the fries tasted like old fries, I asked to at least change the fries, but cooked them instead of We used another one who wanted to take our plates back to change them, already the service was long and it wasnt busy. To say that they lost a lot I think. It was very expensive for what we got.

Le lieu est sympa et le service charmant, mais les portions ridicules. La photo montre une salade césar à 19$! On a demandé à la serveuse si c était la portion entrée servie par erreur et elle a répondu non, indifférente. C est rire du monde, il devait y avoir pour 2$ d ingrédients là dedans. Un conseil, allez au trou du diable en farce.

Very nice bistro and very good food, the hamburger was good meat and the poutine was good too. The only negative thing is that almost all the desserts are alcoholic, only one is not.

August 23, 2024

The waitress was really nice, but the service was very long. Our reservation was at 8:40 a.m. and we ate at 10 p.m. What the waitress cant control. The food was very disappointing. Small portion, poor cooking.

★★
August 23, 2024

The atmosphere and food was excellent, but the service was very poor. We were a table of 5 and we were served by the owner and/or manager. We were given a table of 6 on a small landing, but we had a person with reduced mobility with us, so we asked to change places. The waitress seemed discouraged. She didnt even offer me a drink. And the dessert took more than 30 minutes to get. I went to see her and she told me that the kitchens were doing it. Finally we had a big bowl of ice cream with 5 pieces of brownies in it. She thought we were stupid people. We arrived at 5:30 a.m. and arrived home at 8:30 a.m. knowing that we were 5 minutes away. of the restaurant. Following the other comment I saw, I find that the owner is very unprofessional in the responses she gives. She makes mistakes and responds by ACCUSING the customer. Wheelchair accessibility: He didnt have any

We ordered the beef tartare and the beef flank. 1- flank steak much overcooked, I specified M-S, or medium, the flank steak ends medium well-well cooked. Disappointing for $40 no choice to make for side dishes, its only fries and vegetables. 2- beef tartare, ok but not the best, for what we have eaten elsewhere. So bill at $85+ tip, ordinary We will not go back By the way the owner responded to the review *we asked for no change in side dishes other than rice to replace the fries, but they didnt have any so we didnt complain about it. We are clearly the same customers you are talking about and not Karen if you look at my other reviews, they are all very fair to my experience.

My favorite restaurant with the best cocktails in town

May 23, 2024

Honestly, go somewhere else!! 20 minutes before having water, 1 hour before eating, very very disappointing food, uncooked vegetables and pitiful service. When a customer is not happy the goal is to offer them a great experience, argumentation has no place. Coming from an owner, it is unethical to act in this way and I have rarely seen this in 17 years of working in restaurants.

The owner and staff are passionate. Perfect atmosphere for a date or an evening with friends. Not too noisy and the staff makes sure you dont miss anything. Looking forward to coming back Edit: After reading the comments I want to make a few comments. Me and my friend had the owner as a waitress and she gave exceptional service. I read below that the owners get angry at the slightest negative comment. Something tells me that you didnt say it in a polite way, because I mentioned not liking my soup and the owner took the time to give me my comments and why I didnt like the soup. All with mutual respect. Smearing a local restaurant because they dont let their toes be stepped on is ridiculous.

★★★★★
May 23, 2024

I loved my first visit :) We were served by the owner. It was a pleasure to meet her and discuss the dishes and menu. She was totally open to our comments, to constructive criticism, and was very inspiring in her passion for her restaurant. The dishes and our drinks were very well executed and delicious. We felt very welcome by all the staff. There was no excessive waiting. The atmosphere, decor, menu, and service were impeccable. Ill come back :)

The service was good! The atmosphere is fun and its in a beautiful corner of Shawinigan. On the other hand, on Thursdays they now have an open mic evening which may not be to everyones taste, because it varies from one evening to another. Our main courses were a bit bland, but the prices are good and the dessert was delicious (fried ice cream in sugar cream sauce). Parking: Free two-hour parking on the street next to the restaurant.

Once again memorable experience at Saint-Mo! Definitely my favorite restaurant! Chef Davids dishes are completely exquisite, full of originality and for all tastes. We came as a family, a nice table of eleven people and everyone was as full as possible! The atmosphere is warm and the service team is very friendly. Thanks to Stéphanie and David the two owners for all the love they put into their restaurant! Greedy by nature, I couldnt help but give my name to work in their company and be able to share this passion with them! Come eat at Saint-Mo, you wont be disappointed!

December 23, 2023

The beauty of this restaurant is incredible. Unfortunately the rest leaves something to be desired. I write this comment knowing full well that the owners response will be just as disappointing. But it will represent the restaurant exactly. We wondered why the restaurant opposite was full and this one was empty. A sunny Saturday, empty terrace, equally empty restaurant. A reservation for 11 people, the second table was behind. So a table of 4 away from the other 8 people. Until then...it happens. On the other hand, the restaurant was not at all at a capacity which would have prevented us from all being together. The service was slow, and confusing. We are served starters without having cleared the table completely of our empty starter plates. We have to call the waitress back to ask her to take them back. However, the waitresses assigned to our table were polite. No arrogance on their part if I look at other comments. Disappointing meals. We are asked for our opinions but if they are not what we want, we are criticized by telling us that our tastes are disturbed. No one in our group was disrespectful. We were passing through Shawinigan. Obviously we wont come back.

December 23, 2023

A group of 12 people including myself came to eat at your establishment yesterday and were extremely disappointed with the quality of the food that was served to us. Of the 5 hamburgers ordered, 3 were burnt, one returned to the kitchen and came back almost the same, the children were also disappointed with their food and yet its not difficult to please a child, the poutine sauce was oddly sweet and the The inability to make a pizza just with cheese is disappointing. I have been working in catering for 3 years in the kitchen and I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in the preparation of dishes. But at least the drinks were good and the waitress was very friendly.

I have never seen such an insolent owner in a restaurant with his customers. Bad business men, his co-owner must be chomping at the bit. -My salad was very good! Really. Aim... - No openness to criticism. -No worries about the customer experience unless it is good. -Pay for meals that have not been eaten (one bite) due to cooking. She wouldnt have paid for this plate if she had had another meal anyway which she didnt as she was disappointed with the starter. So no logic he would lose the price of the meal anyway if she took something else (?!?) -The other 4 people, the meals were good except for one, her burger patty was like meat pate, she didnt finish it. She blamed her personal tastes. Its true that it also happens that we dont like it and were not complaining. But my other friends situation was different... Never again. Make sense that I never hear my friends or others suggest this restaurant in my city. I wish I didnt give a star just for the owners desirability factor. He has resources for men who struggle with emotional management. Its not far Its in Trois-Rivières (where your restaurant. Wouldnt live long) Mauricie Accord it s called.

We were a group of 4 people and we were very disappointed! We took the St-Mo Burger, quite difficult to miss a Burger, the egg was uncooked, questionable meat, we couldnt tell what meat it was. Our couple of friends had a starter of fried squid and found a hair inside. Entries are small and expensive. We really dont recommend this restaurant!

December 23, 2023

Went to this restaurant with a couple of friends from Quebec and I will never bring people there again!!! Caesar salad not fresh, meat mediocre. Entries way too expensive for the price.

Beautiful evening! It was very good. I think that some people are not aware of todays reality for restaurateurs........when I go out for me its a pure moment of relaxation so Im not in a hurry. The lack of staff makes life difficult and puts enormous pressure on everyone who works in catering. And customer demands are completely absurd in the face of this new reality. The staff in the kitchen I say well done because they are doing the impossible.....Owners do not give in under stress even if it is extremely difficult I know and thank these people who work hard to meet the expectations of very demanding customers Sometimes.

Everything is good, the decor, the atmosphere, even the little details like the door handles in the toilets! The dishes and cocktails are sophisticated and well thought out. This time I had the Empoiré, the cauliflower wings, the semi-cooked salmon and the lime tart and everything was delicious! Only downsides: - I was amazed how small the Empoiré was. There was about 3 ounces in my cocktail...but so good! - the orzo served with my salmon was completely plain, I asked for extra lemon butter from the salmon to give it flavor... Perhaps more choices on the menu without meat or more fish? Aside from all that, a place to return for sure.

I had a smoked Caesar. It arrived in a bell with very impressive smoking. I would have stopped that there but unfortunately the vodka arrived apart from smoking in a separate glass. Too much or not enough. My partner took a piece of melted cheese like in the photo, much overcooked or the oil needs to be changed. With the soup of the day which was much too acidic she added a little cream afterwards it was really good. I took the MO Burger as my main dish. Very juicy but the meatball alone had a funny texture. Also we had the price of the nachos they were very good nothing to say. The service was fast, it must be said that we were just 2 tables in the restaurant.

Les nachos sont bon, la poutine steak sauce aux poivres par contre, je ne recommande pas ca à personne. Je nest vraiment pas aimé la poutine. Genre de truc que tu fais chez vous, quand il ne reste rien et que tu veux trip bouffer... Excellent service, belle ambiance, Mais nécouter pas les recommendations des serveurs, suivez votre coeur.

I am not going to describe all the unacceptable gestures and words that were made about the group of 30 people that we were in, but 3 months later, I would like to warn about the attitude of those who, I believe, are the owners of the restaurant. If you go there, know that if you mention a small negative point during your meal, you will be entitled to relentless argument since you will never be right. In addition, you risk not having a drink (even during a heatwave) if you go in a large group. Maybe the experience with 2 is completely different, but in a group, its 0. I gave it 2 stars because the restaurant is overall very beautiful and especially with the view of the waters edge. We had booked for a 5 to 7 formula with probably around 15 people who were going to eat there. People from Montreal were with us. They had their order refused at 6:00 p.m. because they had not mentioned earlier that they were going to eat. In short, a detour that leaves a very bitter taste..

Overcooked onion rings, a tiny Caesar salad for $12 and a mistake in my order WITHOUT BACON...badly cooked flank steak, fried apple ice cream NOT FRIED and tasteless and apples that taste old... . I was PAID FOR EVERYTHING!!! Terrible service time... A total lack of respect for customers on the part of the two owners! The menu is eye candy! I forgot, squid cut into pieces and fried so as not to give too much... The interior is just beautiful but what is on the plate is overpriced for the quantity. I now understand why on a Saturday evening there werent many people... Dont waste your money there.

Beautiful atmosphere with its decoration, welcoming staff and background music. The menu is varied, the plates are generous and perfectly prepared. I recommend the Hawaiian pizza which is to die for with its explosions of flavors. The key lime pie is perfect! A place to visit, facing the St Maurice river and with a view of the energy city tower!

The Mac n cheeze burger is incredibly good and the service is also excellent, what bothers me and the reason why I gave 3 stars is that the fish n chip was soft like jello and the owners responses in the face of negative comments are immature and sometimes false. For the price you sell your food for, I suggest you get a classy tent

Super beautiful restaurant, we met the super friendly chef, very appreciated service from the waitress, who seemed very embarrassed by the cooks answers when we asked if it was possible to make some changes to our dishes. Let me explain: if you have even the slightest intolerance or allergy this is not a good choice of restaurant!! Or if you re a little picky like me . We ordered nachos, I dont like black olives and sour cream, so we asked if it was possible to put the olives on the side and the same for the sour cream since my partner loves it. No its not possible, so far its not that serious. I ask for a burger for the main meal without the tomato and mayo, the waitress goes to ask the chef and tells us that he can just remove the mayo . As if it was all done in advance... I finally took the fish and chip which was very oily (it was placed on my fries; as a result my fries were soft and coated with the oil from the fish and chip) the breading was crispy on the outside but in no way cooked inside. Inside the fish was bland. When the waitress asked us if it was to our liking, we told her about the breading and the soggy fries. First and last time at this restaurant for us unfortunately. Unable to post a photo of my meal unfortunately

Come quickly, it s this way Divine!!! that s the word that came to mind as we finished these succulent dishes. We chose the filet mignon, for dessert the lime tart and the ball of fried ice cream excellent presentation, I loved it both in taste and in the eyes. You can feel the work and passion behind it all.... We who love good food, this is truly worthy of a French restaurant! Congratulations to the chef (Owner) and his entire team We are delighted to have chosen your restaurant. The welcome from the waiters and waitresses is excellent; We were served by the owner, what a privilege very attentive and keen to make our meal as pleasant as possible. The industrial and chic style decoration is very pleasing to the eye Don t miss this unique place!!! Dear owners and the whole team, stay as you are. We wish you the best...

I have never had such poor, ridiculous service. Arrogant owners. The waitress completely ignores us. After more than an hour, the starter finally arrives, cold, no utensils. After 2 hours of waiting for a burger and a fish and chips which was still missing, we informed the waitress that we had to leave and that we were willing to pay for the starter and drinks. The owner arrives threatening to call the police if we dont pay for everything even though we still havent received our dishes. The so-called boss (also owner) comes to yell at us claiming the lack of employees. There are far too many tables for the capacity to manage employees/owners. I dont understand how a business can operate like this. Avoid at all costs. Edit: This is my first time commenting on your restaurant. Not the third. There was no coronation on our part. We remained calm throughout. The customers around us arrived after us, were served and left before we received your entry. I offered $30 which is more than enough for a cold, greasy onion ring without utensils and napkins and two glasses of sparkling water. It s you and your wife who are liars. Your reply clearly demonstrates your arrogance, lack of respect and good manners. Thanks for proving my point.

If I understood correctly we are the first or in the first to take to bring (Take out). We have order last Thursday September 9, 2021. We ordered a strip steak, a salmon steak, and a poutine. Starters: fried squid and fried black pudding. We asked for a specific cooking and it was perfect, exactly as we asked for it, which is not always the case in other restaurants. The starters were also excellent. The poutine was a little disappointing though. The waitress who served us was a little cold... She may have been in training, if thats the case, It was probably nervousness. But the boss immediately came to see us and made us feel really welcome, a good jack as they say! I recommend this restaurant! Enjoy your food ;)
