I went for a business lunch, arrived 5 min before, asked for the reservation name & they placed me at a different table than my client (same reservation name). Thirst time for me, at least a good remember for my customer & I

Update ** Following their response I proceeded to contact them via email as they proposed only to be left without a follow-up… Awful customer service.

I reserved for a group of over 30 people a month in advance. The GM clearly proposed that we could choose from the lunch menu ($42) or the group menu ($60). He even confirmed that both menus would be placed on the table.

Two days before our reservation, I called again to double-check, & they confirmed once more that we would have access to both options.

But on the day of the event, the staff suddenly refused to let us order from the lunch menu. It felt misleading & unprofessional-especially after multiple confirmations.

For a large group booking, this lack of transparency & last-minute change is completely unacceptable. I would not recommend this place for group events.

As for the food, I ordered the risotto & was shocked at how undercooked the rice was. Instead of being creamy & tender, it was hard, grainy, & honestly unpleasant to eat. A basic risotto should never leave the kitchen in that state.

Went for lunch on December 23rd. The price was $42 for 3 course lunch & it was phenomenal.

For appetizers, we got the lobster bisque & beef tartare. Bisque was nice & beef tartare was a fun experience to eat. Would probably order something else for it since it was out top choice in term of taste but it was a fun experience.

Main entree was duck confit & the chicken Dijon. Both were amazing. The duck confit was tender & skin was crispy. The other ingredients in the dish was delicious. The chicken Dijon was creamy & flavourful. Highly recommend these two dishes.

Dessert was fresh & light. Not too sweet. It had raspberry, vanilla cream & sponge cake. It was the dessert of the day so others might get something different.

Service was great & they were kind & it didn't felt weird for us to eat there while wearing sweat pants. We definitely had people looking at us, might be because of what we wore.

The bread they gave as a complimentary was hard & not really fresh(it felt it was out for a bit too long) but the butter with it was good.

Came in for a corporate lunch, the place is clean & menu was good.

The only 2 issues i had was getting the bill in a timely fashion for us to be able to leave & the place was extremely loud where we were seated.

Service is great! for lunch the waiter will ask about your schedule to make sure you get your food on time so that you have enough time to eat & go back to work on time. I had the chicken for lunch & it was a great portion & great flavours. Only thing that was disappointing were the truffle fries…smells great but seems like it somehow lacks flavour & truffle essence..

J'ai essayé Chez Lionel pour le lunch avec la table d'hôte à 40$. C'était vraiment super bon! Contente de ce nouveau resto proche de mon travail.

Expérience pour le lunch.
40$
Le service est impeccable! Les serveurs sont présents mais discrets. C'est le point fort.
Le lieu est vraiment beau en revanche la salle est vraiment très très bruyante. C est assez dérangeant.
Les plats sont bons. Pour moi, les assaisonnements sont un peu en dessous de la qualité.
Attention au lavage des poireaux (il reste de la terre sable). Les ravioles sont bonnes mais la pâte avait un peu séché.
Le dessert était délicieux.
J' y retournerai.
