Best Authentic Restaurants in West Island

Always superb service. Excellent entrees and cocktail specials.

Always delicious food. We have eaten here many times and we are never disappointed. Nice that it's a BYOB as well. Staff are very friendly and service is great! I also get a kick out of Steve as he explains what he makes on the menu. I would highly recommend this restaurant, but you definitely need to make a reservation because they are very busy.

My wife and I enjoyed the Caesar salad, she had the Bavette steak and I had a shrimp pasta dish, both very good. Finished by sharing the berry cheesecake. Place was packed and loud but all good with our daughter who had a pepperoni pizza. Service was fine. Waitress appeared a bit rushed, maybe due to the large crowd. Overall great experience. Will come again.

As always, Chef Richard Tate out did himself, as he and his staff put together a wine-pairing tasting menu that was a veritable taste explosion. From the creamy corn bisque starter, blackened catfish, shrimp & grits, duck & chorizo gumbo right through to the banana creme brulee, every bite was a mouthgasm of delight. Paired with interesting wines presented by a sommelier, this was a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a Wednesday night. Of course, we hung out with co-owner Chris who was taking care of us behind the bar, and we were served impeccably, as usual, by the dashing Matt (ladies, he's ALL sorts of single now!). Listen, if you haven't experienced Bistro Nolah yet, do your tastebuds a favour and get there NOW. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and if brunch is more your thing, their weekend menu is to die for...fried chicken & french toast, anyone? Lordy, I'm already salivating! We can't wait to go back!!

Amazing food, tastes like home!! Service is impeccable, love going for dinner at Aya’s!
