Le Swan, Queen West

What people say, in short
Le Swan draws repeated recommendations for steak frites in a French-diner setting rather than a formal steakhouse. Diners praise its atmosphere and steak, including a report of enjoying a striploin with bordelaise. Views are not unanimous: one diner found the meal overly salty with oily, soggy fries, while another thought the portion modest for the cost but would return. The discussion includes more than one steak preparation, not a guarantee of the current menu.
