Un grand merci au chef Michel pour le succulent homard dégusté ce soir au restaurant chez Lévêque sur la rue Laurier. En entrée & en repas principal: tout simplement dé-li-cieux! De plus, le service est toujours mais toujours excellent avec des serveurs attentionnés & drôles. Merci à vous tous!
Nous avons passé un excellent moment chez lévêque. Service incomparable, personnel courtois. Tous les plats commandés étaient excellents, de l'entrée au dessert. Petit plus : le menu enfant qui a su ravir les papilles de nos loupiots. Nous recommandons!!
Menu pouvant être très raisonnable pour la qualité des repas.
Le personnel est au petit soin & hyper attentionné. Le maitre d'hôtel est excellent!!
Je vais manger de temps en temps depuis une année dans ce restaurant & j'ai vu une très grande amélioration quant au service. Les plats eux étant toujours aussi excellents.
Petit souper d'amoureux, belle ambiance, repas très goûteux. Mais quel service exécrable! Serveur hautain...nous nous sentions juste pas invitée! Très désagréable, comme si on dérangeait! Franchement, pourquoi cet employé reste là?! Nous y retournerions avec plaisir mais jamais avec un service comme ça! c'est dommage car la nourriture était parfaite!
The three of us had dinner tonight & despite the fact that the food was good, the service was horrible.
The different servings came in way too fast, I had french fried with my course, I asked for mayo, which I never received. We had ordered an expensive bottle of wine, never once, a server came over to pour other than the first glass. We never saw the original server we had, & it looks like everybody else would serve us whenever they would come by or thought about it. Two of us had finished eating while the third person was still eating, & the young server came over & cleaned up everything in front of the two of us, despite the fact that she was told that one of us was still eating. The worst service we had in a long time!
Je n'ai pas du tout aimé mon expérience. Le serveur était peu attentionné & hautain. En outre, il y a eu un problème avec ma facture & on m'a traité avec beaucoup de condescendance. Le serveur s'est permit d'ajouter le pourboire sur ma facture sans m'en informer.
I had always been curious about this place, so i decided to hit it one day to try it once & for all. Reviews i've read on the restaurant for bunch had generally been positive with a trusted long-standing reputation. To my disappointment, however, I didn't enjoy my experience all that much to be honest. Menu was pretty bland, standard, & service a tad snob. At least I've tried it, so no more wondering.
