Je suis venu manger dans votre établissement & j'aimerais vous offrir mon expérience. J'ai été servi par Frank, nous étions assis au bar. C'était un moment très achalandés lors de notre passage au restaurant. Tout au long de notre présence, il était attentif & prêt à intervenir au besoin. Il est aller au delà de nos attentes & malgré la période très achalandés, il a pris le temps de nous sourire, nous parler amicalement & non pas juste prendre notre commande comme la majorité des services dorénavant. Vraiment un WOW pour Frank. Si j'aurais pu, pour son service je lui aurait donné un 6 étoiles. Les portions étaient toutefois plus petite en comparaison avec nos visites chez Lionel à Brossard ou nous sommes habitué d'aller... mais la qualité était au rendez-vous & l'ambiance pat Frank surpasse notre expérience. Au plaisir.

This place was amazing. Our server was so kind & respectful. The food was so good & the ambiance was just perfect.

This place is great for work parties or friends reunion, but I'm not sure kids would like it.

The prices were okay for the quality of the food it got. I took the escargot au gratin & the hanger steak.

Excellente expérience Chez Lionel de Montréal !

Nous sommes allés là avant notre partie des Canadiens. Un gros merci à Frank, le mixologue, à qui j'ai donné carte blanche & qui nous a fait passer un bon moment. Il est de bonne compagnie & très créatif dans ses drinks où il mets ça touche personnelle.

Shout out Frank, you're the man !

Le CH s'est fait démolir 6 à 1, mais au moins notre souper Chez Lionel fût un franc succès !
