| - I would give Le Saint Tropez 2-1/2 stars.
I really wanted to like this place, as the service was very courteous and friendly, and the restaurant was very charming.
I love French food, however I was extremely disappointed with the food. I ordered the venison (medium-rare), which most of the pieces were overcooked and chewy. The veg on the side was overcooked, bland and lost its color. The other side of scalloped sweet potatoes was nice, but strangely looked like a whole boiled sweet potato (the slices of potato molded were back into its original form, how funny).
My friend ordered the salmon, which was also dry and overcooked, and the side of basmati rice was undercooked.
I didn't find the food very French-like, and the presentation was rather bland and boring (like banquet food).
The tulip nouget dessert was very nice. The ice cream had a lot of vanilla and you could tell it is homemade. It was served in a phylo-dough tulip and a light mango coulis.
The prices reflects the King Street/theatre district locale, unfortunately the mediocre food didn't doesn't quite live up.
