On Gibby’s Steakhouse Restaurant Saint-Sauver Chef Deck says:
In writing this next review, I’ve been experiencing quite the moral dilemma considering the fact that whenever I go I have a great experience, and whenever others go they have a horrible one. Let’s delve a little deeper into this conundrum to discover if it is I Chef Deck who has the bad taste, if the people have reason, or if consistency is the problem. When I go to Gibby’s there are only a select few dishes which I order, and they never disappoint. As my appetizer, I will get the Karnatzel with mango chutney (or oysters in season) and it is always perfection (even better than the sausage sampler at the Q). My main will either be the St-Sauver rack of lamb, the Steak Diane, or fillet mignon with a Bernaise sauce which are all quite delicious 95% of the time. Now onto the many complaints; it seems that for every good meal there is a bad one and people hate the service, which I will not discount because it’s a common occurrence. People say that Gibby’s St-Sauver restaurant is horrible compared to the Old Montreal restaurant but I think the opposite. So since I’ve really gotten nowhere with this argument, let’s blame it on consistency and say that Chef Deck’s pallet isn’t that of a peasant.

This restaurant was a childhood favorite of mine and that is why I keep going back, even though every meal I have had since I’ve been 15 has been shit. The last time was the worst. The Scampi were still frozen, and for some reason they don’t understand what rare means. Chef Deck you disappoint me

I’ve never been to the St-Sauveur restaurant, but I’ve been to the Old Montreal local, and I was incredibly dissapointed. After everything I’d heard, I was expecting a good steak.
Everything was flavorless and drab. They didn’t cook the steak the way I asked and really the whole experience was mediocre at best.
This is known to be a Montreal favorite, but nothing I saw/tasted there could back up the reputation.
I’d suggest leaving it out, especially if you’re only here for a visit.
