Bistro Gaston

Came here for a business lunch and ordered several à la carte dishes for two. After waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes with no food, we had only 10 minutes left before we had to leave—so we ended up paying $250 for an empty stomach. When we asked about the delay, the waitstaff insisted that this was the normal wait time due to the “starter-then-main” service. However, all I received in that entire time was a single salad as a starter. Was the food great? I don’t know - it seemed cold and salty to me by the time it came out. Not for me—never again.

Best to make a reservation especially for weekends. Cozy interior dining area with a few tables outside. Service is very friendly and staff are always ready to help with the menu or the wine list. Food is definitely more flavorful than the usual French cuisine. Would be back again to try other items on the menu and explore their wine list.

Enjoyed dinner with my friends. We ordered olives, Salade D’endive, Rumsteak Boeuf Angus with 2 sides and Profitéroles. Highlight was steak! Meat was nicely done. I love their sauce. If you go there on Wednesday, they have promotion for steak. Staff are all friendly and very attentive.

Went there to celebrate a special occassion. Had three entrees and a main consisting of foie gras, special of the day scallops, escargot, and the main which is a fish stew. Service was good. Food was good. From the entrees, the L'entree de la mer at that time was scallops which had a taste that was similar to ceviche. Sour, sweet, impactful tang, and very refreshing. Escargot tastes great and offered a playful touch of contrast in texture as it was served with a crispy pastry shell which complimented the garlic butter and the salad beneath it. Foie gras was served with a strawberry jam and a jelly. The foie gras itself was ok but lacked a savoury impact. Interestingly, it was the jelly that took the spotlight. For mains, we had the fish stew (pochouse bourguignonne). The fish had a good crispy brown skin, flesh was tender and flavourful. Combined with the mussels, and cream sauce. It was savoury and not too overpowering. The potatoes in the stew are soft and gave the dish a more full bodied creamy texture. Overall our experience was great but dishes are priced slightly on the expensive side. But this establishment offers an interesting set lunch meal as well which tempts me to visit again.

Did not have a meal. So not rating that! Had heard about this place but never been. We just stopped for post dinner wine and cheese :) They have an excellent selection of wines! Will will have to go back soon!

Absolutely love the place, atmosphere and the friendly staff . I had the Ricard aperitif which was refreshing to sip between every course (it's pretty strong 45% alcohol content). Leek fondue was so yummy, escargots in the pastry shell were scrumptious, and the beef stew in red wine with mashed potatoes, divine. Dessert of yeast cake in liqueur and cream was the perfect ending to the lovely dinner.

Thank you for tonight dinner. This restaurant is really great, so kindly and friendly. And it is nice cuisine. I think that I want to come again next time with family.

I’m such a huge fan of this place! Moreish, really flavorful and YUMMY French food from Burgundy that feels homey and generous yet really elevated. Standouts for me were: Starters: 1. Escargots - made with a pastry shell so you can pop the whole thing in your mouth! So fun + the crispy shell adds great texture. So garlicky and good 2. Gougeres - warm crisp cheesy fluffy 3. Ham & Cheese Croquettes - these are quite strongly flavoured, but sooo yummy if you enjoy the flavour of a strong cheese and the salty hit of ham Mains: 1. Ravioles with Chives - silky pasta and really strong cheesy sauce. As a cheese lover this was to die for 2. Fish Stew - Creamy, with perfectly cooked barramundi with mussels and potatoes Make sure you also save space for dessert because the French toast is crazy good. It’s so caramelized and crunchy on the outside and fluffy and light on the inside. Profiteroles are also yummy! Service is also amazing and the atmosphere is homey and unpretentious. Can’t recommend this place enough and recommend it to everyone I know.
