Reviews of L'Académie describe a stylish, comfortable setting with generous portions and a diverse menu that blends French and Italian influences, and the BYOW option is welcome; service is often praised for attentiveness and efficiency, and many guests note good value and a convivial atmosphere, though there are occasional drawbacks such as slow service on busy nights and inconsistencies in dish execution, with some seafood and pasta dishes not meeting expectations; overall, the restaurant leaves a positive impression and guests say they would return.
Service plus qu'ordinaire, on venait d'arriver que le serveur nous rushait pour qu'on parte au plus vite. La cuisson des steaks de tout ceux qui l'ont pris dans notre groupe n'était pas correcte. Pour une cuisson « médium saignant », le steak était presque bleu. Le serveur nous arrive avec le plateau de dessert mais précise que dans leur restaurant, il n'offre pas le dessert à une personne fêtée. Bref, nous n'y retournerons pas , trop décevant pour le prix.
Excellent service pour le reste c'est ordinaire
-C'est la fête de ma femme & on offre pas de morceaux de gâteau (celui de Laval l'offre)
-Pas de permis d'alcool (celui de laval en a un)
-On demande de la sauce arabiata pour les calmar, on nous apportent petit contenant ridicule d'a peine 30ml
J'arrête ça la & J'irais à celui de Laval la prochaine fois
Lost the fift star as they would only accept one of the 50$ prepaid coupons from Costco while all others accepts both. It killed the momentum when a owner starts making there own rules.
I will not return & spend my money at other Academie from now on.
I was very dissapointed, I had the same meal at the Pointe Claire Restaurant & the food was far superior to the one offered in Ste-Therese. I felt that the food was kind of thrown on the plate, no presentation whatsoever ..... The price of food has gone up & I understand but an effort could be done to give a nice presentation. There is no cost in the presentation! When we go out & spend $100.00 for two we expect somewhat a little finesse. We had veal but the sauce was overwelming & heavy, veal normally deserves a light sauce, the pasta on the plate looked like it was thrown in a huge lump.
Service was good. Server was polite & eager to please. Hoping this is just an adjustment period. We so enjoyed L'Academie in Pointe Claire for lunch & dinner,
