Wanted to love this place but fell way short. Staff is very nice. Restaurant du coin kind of vibe. I can see why some people may love it. Service was good. Everyone is nice and helpful. My wife and i shared the ceasar salad. It was good. Expensive but good. Made fresh in front of us. My wife took a steak (onglet de boeuf) and i took the entrecote which was supposedly a top 4% grass fed cut from a local farm. Everything was drenched in the strangest butter sauce. You couldnt even taste the meat. I rarely send food back but was not able to stomach it. I dont mind butter on my steak but this was a strange fusion of butter and i dont know what...onions or chives. Anyway in my opinion steak should just be grilled and served. Sauce should be on the sode. It camouflaged the meat and couldnt taste anything but the sauce which i couldnt handle. My wife had the onglet de boeuf which was quite good. No sauce over it but it laid on a bed of vegetables that were cooked with 5 lbs of butter. Again we dont mind butter but this was exaggerated. I sent back my steak explaining i couldnt stomach the sauce. I know its not their fault but i was expexting at least a dessert or coffee on the house. They charged me everything. A little disappointing considering its not a cheap place. Suffice to say that i will never be going back there. I wouldnt recommend the place but i also wouldnt tell someone not to go of they asked my opinion because the place has potential and they know how to cook, but it needs a little finesse.

We do recall your visit.
To clarify; neither of your dishes contained butter.
The sauce with the conterfilet was as a 'Faux-Bernaise'. Finely diced dried shallot are poached with rock sea salt canola oil until tender. White balsamic is added and further cooked until the shallots begin to jam.
While hot, the oil and shallots are whisked into 4 eggs yolks.
We add fragrant dried tarragon and chopped rehydrate ancho Chiles the mix.
The potato gratin served with the onglet is made with cream. The cream is infused with guajillo Chiles and dried porcini mushroom and baked for 2 hours. The cream mixes with Chipotle veal jus.
Regarding the price of the caeser. It is 24$, large, and most often shared, as your wife and yourself did. That is 12$ per person. We use Spanish extra virgin olive oil, Parmigiano regiano, and salted anchovies. Each salad is made from scratch.
Even Les Cage aux Sport's caeser is 9.50$, and I highly doubt the dressing is even made on site.
Regarding the transaction:
I just spoke with your server.
You and your wife were asked twice while eating if everything was correct. And they were told it was.
When it was noticed your steak was not finished, the server offered to wrap it up.
Only then was comment made that you did not enjoy the dish.
The server asked if you wished us to fix it, or make something else.
They were told "no, we are done".
When asked what was wrong with the dish, the reply was as you said in your review. "Nothing is wrong, it is just not our liking."
Perhaps we could have taken the dish off you bill. But it is a hard call. We had offered to fix it, or replace it.
Just as if person brought back an item to a store, and the store replaced it, or offered another item at a similar price.
However, unlike a store we can not re-sell a partly eaten dish.
We do remove meals from people's bills when we are told during quality check. Or most definitely if the seasoning or cooking is off.
But to assume a dish would be removed after two quality checks at the end of a meal is a bold expectation.
Moreover, our deserts are lovingly filled with butter.
Thank you
Best regards
