This restaurant isn't in Scarborough, but Sauvignon Bistro is close, at the east end of The Beach on Queen Street near Woodbine. It's a popular more upscale jaunt in the area, not exactly high end, but a bit higher priced than your usual bistro fare in Toronto.
The selection is eclectic, with a good range of dishes. For appetizers we had a nice pureed jerusalem artichoke soup topped with a bit of duck confit, and glorious grilled sardines. It was a great start.
Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. My Berkshire pork chop was appropriately cooked and very tender, but was imperfectly seasoned. Too much salt took away from its otherwise good mix of flavours. The sable fish stir fry with coconut broth was also quite flavourful but unfortunately was laden with far too much oil.
The ambiance and service were good, and overall the food was not bad, but the prices were not justified for the quality of food. If the main dishes had been under $20, I might have been more forgiving, but at these prices, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
