Hubby and I came to Saint St Grill for my birthday dinner. It was our first time dining there. The service was fantastic. Our waiter was very attentive and observant. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire menu. The wine and the beer were served at a nice cold temperature.I started with the scallops. While they were a little more rare than I usually like, they were perfectly seasoned and the purees were tasty. The pea shoots were so fresh I felt like the had just been picked from the garden. The whole dish was well thought out and put together.Hubby had the filet mignon. Perfectly cooked, and he really enjoyed the parsnip puree. He's not really a fine dining guy, but he knows his beef and he was very happy with his meal.I had the duck. Again, perfectly cooked. It was juicy and tender. The purees were tasty, as were the potatoes. I found the braised cabbage just a little bit too sweet, but that is a personal preference.The ONLY complaint we have is how uncomfortable the chairs were. We will return, but we'd be happy to stay longer and have dessert if they get more comfortable chairs.Dietary restrictions: Message ahead, or call ahead. They are very responsive. I have a wheat allergy and they were more than happy to accommodate.Parking: Free street parking as well as a decent sized lot at the back of the restaurant with an entrance at the back.

Good service and nice ambiance and the food was alright but nothing special. It was way overpriced for what you got though. The scallop appetizers dish was $20, and comes with 3 scallops, that is right 3, and the only garnish was a squash puree drizzled over it.

Went here with 3 other people. Nice room, with a sort of retro look to it.Our server was friendly and competent, quite pleasant.Our food: we started with the pate, with blueberry compote, walnuts, and crostini. The pate was good. The compote needed a little more acidity, and the crostini were perfect, thin, crisp, and light. I would've liked a couple more.Second appetizer was the prawns, "tempura battered with a crispy potato baton".This dish was a disaster. The 3 prawns were on a skewer and cooked as one piece, in a thick batter, more of a beer batter than tempura ( also, the skewer was left in the resulting mass. Guys, you need to warn customers about this). The prawns were completely overwhelmed. The "baton" was a steak-cut French fry, not crispy at all. Definitely do not order this.Mains: the birthday boy seemed to enjoy his venison, and was quite happy. Two others of our little party got the 16 hour braised beef. It was bland and quite dry. I ordered the duck breast with red cabbage, duck fat potatoes, parsnip puree, and green beans. The beans were great! The cabbage was very nice, the puree was good, although there was too much of it. The potatoes could have used more roasting to build a beautiful crust, and they were underseasoned. The duck skin, sadly, was not crispy and had a rubbery texture, and the meat was very dry. The whole dish was crying out for a sauce to tie it together.Presentation of the food was nice and attractive, although the plating had a very 90s feel to it, but hey, nothing wrong with that.On the whole, dinner was average, with hints that it could become great. Maybe it was just an off night.

The plan was to enjoy a lovely night out with a friend and that is what we did. We wanted to go somewhere different and so glad we did! First we were warmly greeted and coats checked by the friendly hostess (Lyn). Our server prompted joined us and brought us our delicious lemon drop martinis. The menu has so many delicious options we decided on sharing course by course, mostly starters. Great choice! Then we could try lots! Our favourite were the scallops, they were perfect! The aranchini balls also piping hot and delicious. Everything paired with excellent sauces. Everything we ordered was great. The service fantastic and the ambiance lovely. I would HIGHLY recommend dining here, we will be back!

I had Duck Breast, it was delicious. Our waiter was very professional and polite. The restaurant has a European Vintage look to it, it sort of feels like you are in a different country and an era. I really enjoyed our night.
Was not upto expectations as I reserved a table for husband’s birthday dinner. Wouldn’t recommend it for special occasions.

Wow! I had an amazing dinner here. We don’t dine out often but we went out last weekend and ate at a different establishment that was very disappointing so I gave this place a try this weekend. We were amazed. Good wine, great appetizers, dinner and fancy coffees for dessert. Definitely an upscale dining experience for Port Moody. I highly suggest you check it out. The service was exceptional as well!

Revisited last night and was stunned as to why we haven't been here recently, as it was great.Started with sable and paté both excellent then on to the most wonderful Coq au Vin and fillet cooked perfectly blue.Served by an effective and friendly team in a nice room with character.To show however that everything cannot be to our taste, the bread was ... don't know, not perfect? as all else was! Ha.*5 years ago,Started with mushrooms on toast, very good.The steak was without question perfect, however while the brisket was prepared very nicely, was on the dry side.Service excellent, room pleasant, and tablecloths!
