We were visiting Montreal this past weekend with our two children (ages 2&4). I hadn't read many reviews about people bringing young children, so wanted to leave one about our excellent experience! All of our food was incredible & the service was amazing! The drinks & food came out very fast which made dining much more enjoyable with young children. Would definitely recommend & will come again next time we visit - you can't beat the $1 oysters! 😃
Très bon, huître minuscules a 1$, excellente salade Cobb poulet, grosse portion de fillets de poulet pour enfants, très bon tartare de saumon. Avec 2 drinks 140$.
Although the server was very nice, she didn't know the menu very well. She didn't know the drinks available at the bar very well when we asked if we can change mashed potatoes she said pick any side no problem we picked a side & then we're charged extra for the side For changing for two of the dishes. She took away plates before we were finished again. She was very nice just not prepared & that comes from management. The atmosphere is beautiful & for those prices expectations were a lot higher.
Went again dec 20th (4 pm) We are drinking at the bar & after one hr the waiter says'are you ordering food, if not I have to give you your bill now'....in other words if you don't spend on food your out of here. Really made us feel unappreciated....terrible policy if that's what it is.
WOW! one of the best Christmas Staff Parties ever! The service was on point. Nico was managing the restaurant the evening of our party. He greeted us & appetizers were ready upon arrival of all. They were perfectly timed & served.
Alex, who was apparently new on the team who bartending & waiting on the entire 15 of us was absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't say enough about Alex! He not only remembered all of our names but made the most awesome drinks, took our orders without a glitch & made absolutely sure our glasses were never empty (without needing to get his attention) & even made sure our meals were to our expectations. He managed all 15 of us without a hitch!! Bravo Alex!
Great place with great atmosphere for dinner pre-show or game. Service if professional & friendly. Nice looking place. Lots of nice choices on menu. Salmon entree & lobster rolls were very good. Decent prices. Excellent drink selection. Nice house beer.

Boy this place can move people fast! Went before a concert at Bell Centre & despite it being a zoo, we had drinks dinner & dessert in under an hour. Food quite good but our seating was a bit squishy.
We had the salmon & a salad -- it was excellent. We also had a drink with dinner as well as shared a dessert for two. At a price of about $40 per person including the tax & tip; we felt it was a bargain for quality of meal & service.
Dean, the manager, made sure everything was just right.
I would suggest if you would like a little privacy at your table, you make that request with your reservation. Tables are a little close, but still enjoyable.
I had a reservation for 5 adults & 2 kids. We were greeted & seated quickly. My family & I have been to various Lucille locations, & last night was our first time in downtown location. Food serving was a little slow while we asked them to serve whatever is ready first because we all share the dishes. But good thing is that they served our drinks & the kids food rather quickly. Food was good & service was polite & respectful. I really love their cauliflower salad & burrata. Decor is nice but I would say we felt a little hot inside… not sure if the AC was working properly. All in all, we had a good time & love the location for a downtown hangout night.

La nourriture est super bonne (Tacos au poisson, ailes de poulet coréennes, steak filet mignon) Les drinks aussi étaient bons, j'ai pris le Mojito fruit de la passion, excellent! Le service était lent, mais c'était une soirée de spectacle alors je peux comprendre. Ils ont apporté mon entrée avant les drinks ce qui était bizarre. La musique était beaucoup trop forte c'est pourquoi j'ai mis 3 étoiles pour ambiance. Puis on etaient tous cordés comme des sardines à nos tables, Zéro intimité.
We stopped by Lucille's for drinks & bites before the Katy Perry concert on Wednesday July 30th & it was the perfect start to our evening! Jomo, who is a chef there, not only came to say hello, but he also served us with some incredible dishes; his burrata was next-level, the oysters were fresh & briny, & the lobster crab dip was absolutely delectable. The personalized experience left us with great memories!
The service was just as impressive as the food; friendly, attentive, & welcoming. No wait to get a seat, & the staff made us feel right at home, like we were hanging out with friends.
Huge shoutout to Jomo for his talent in the kitchen; he truly made the experience unforgettable for my sister & I. Lucille's is definitely a gem, & we'll be back soon!
I'll start by saying our waiter was very very good, one of the best waiters I've witnessed in Montreal. The stars are solely for him.
I am shocked by the amount of 5 stars reviews, but I am assuming people who come here are fans of chains & have lower standards.
However the food was gross. Me & my friend ordered drinks, oysters, tacos & different types of steak, & it tasted like food from a frozen box. It was the worst steak I've eaten(thought it was from the keg, but this tops it). On top of that, me & my friend did not feel good at all afterwards.
Unless you're solely coming for drinks, I do not recommend.

Overpriced ,service was'ok' not great feeling of being rushed, food can use improvement & a tip for anyone reading this when asking for a soft drink ask for little or no ice otherwise you will get a glass of ice with little soft drink in it & charged hefty for it so just be warned definitely do not get monies worth here
After days of eating our way through Montreal, we decided to go eat by Centre Bell to watch the Habs game & I am SO glad we did.
This was the best service of the trip. From the time we ordered our meals (four of us got a few bottles of red & the seafood linguine, tuna, ribs, & octopus on Greek salad) it was fast. Almost weirdly fast! My Octopus on Greek salad was top 5 best meals I have ever had. Do not debate getting it. Get it! I will be dreaming about this dish until I return again from Vancouver. It was perfectly seasoned, tender, & the sauce…the sauce! I could drink the sauce. I adore how the feta came out sliced as well, instead of traditionally crumbled. So flipping good.
Management - please acknowledge Ryan for his outstanding service. Timely, friendly, funny, knowledgeable. Best service I have had in a long time. He was made to be in the people industry & you can tell that he cares about his job.
Great food , never had a complaint. Service has always been amazing , especially from Arianna who was very attentive & quick. She always has the best recommendations for food & drinks !
