Souper avant un spectable au Centre Bell, souper est arrivé dernière minute (30 minutes avant le spectacle) donc on devait manger en vitesse, mais sinon service super impeccable pour un resto bien occupé (serveur & busboy toujours présent à nous demander s'il nous manquait quelquechose & il n'y a jamais manqué d'eau à la table) belle ambiance, j'ai pris steak-frite medium saignant, très belle cuisson & j'ai bien apprécié ma bavette & frites. 2 entrées: crabe fondant excellent, mais les pétoncles frits trop cuit & la panure tombait à rien. Je recommande ce resto avant un spectable au Centre Bell, juste commander bien d'avance.
Great food, services, & game time ambiance. We got a table with good view of the game on tv as we mentioned on the reservation comment. Love the tacos, tuna tartare, surf & turf! Though others told me their steak & burgers are a bit plain & dry.

Excellent! rien à dire. De loin un des meilleurs restaurant que j'ai essayé. Le service était rapide & efficace. & la nourriture, Wow! la cuisson de mon steak & celle de ma copine était à la perfection, leurs accompagnement était très bon aussi! 10/10 je recommande fortement pour passer une belle soirée avec de la bonne nourriture & de la bonne ambiance.
Food is great. Service was a bit long to get our food. It was an event night & was pretty full but still took quite a bit of time. Food is delicious though. Our steaks were cooked perfectly.
1st time at Lucille's & everything was great… service was quick & the food was delicious. Only issue I had is I ordered a Caesar salad & it had slices of pickles in it… I removed them & the salad was great.. chicken wings, steak & calamari were awesome. Your staff is unreal.. all were serving & taking care of customers waiting to get in or at the table. Your staff ROCKS!
I've always enjoyed Lucille's for the last few years ,, arrived they had my table waiting for us ,, always the oyster's are great , never buy the cheaper ones ,, spend a few bucks more & get the tastier ones ,,, so I decide not to do the lobster rolls this time , ( I can only eat one , two is to much ) anyways I decided to try the steak & frit omg it was one of the best steaks ive ever had ,, & it was a flank steak. !!!!!!! wt% our waiter was great
The steak was phenomenal! A perfect medium rare & a huge serving of fries. The tartare was also delicious. Great service & quick as well. Did not have to wait long for my food. Definitely a place I highly recommend
Lucille's was fantastic! We went to the downtown location;'Lucille's Avenue des Canadiens', just across from the Centre Bell.
The food was INCREDIBLE!! We ordered 2 dozen'$1 Oyster Special' oysters. They were delicious & fresh! Sourced locally from Prince Edward Island, the oysters pair well with a Sauvignon Blanc.
My wife & I ordered the Steak Frites, medium rare. The food was cooked perfectly, the steak has an amazing herb butter on top, with a perfect crust. The fries were hot & crispy.
Giving the service a 3, we waited quite a while after being seated to actually have our order taken. We waited over 20 minutes, however, once the food was ordered, it came out very quickly.
The atmosphere was great, I would recommend making a reservation!
I'm very disappointed to say that this used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but my recent visit was a terrible experience. I brought my boyfriend here hoping to share a nice dinner, but it turned out to be the worst experience I've ever had at this place.
The order was mixed up three times, & when the food finally arrived, it was a complete letdown. The steak was extremely dry & nearly impossible to finish. The shrimp, which is usually my favorite, were tiny, tasteless, & stuck to the skewer. To make things worse, I received fries instead of the mashed potatoes I had ordered.
I've had the steak & shrimp dish here many times before & always enjoyed it, but this time the quality & portions were shockingly poor. For the price, the experience was not worth it at all.
We had a very nice dinner at Lucille's. From the moment we entered the front doors, Jesse (the manager) greeted us with a friendly smile. The restaurant is modern & clean & sleek. Our server Thomas was nice, professional, & just friendly & attentive enough. A good server, working multiple tables & providing good service for sure.
The calamari starter was good, crispy & flavorful. I ordered the grilled seafood linguine which was literally the best I've ever had. Good amount of seafood & very tasty pasta was delicious. We also got the BBQ ribs platter over fries which was huge! & a steak frites which was cooked well & of good quality & taste. The cocktails were pretty good as well.
Jesse came over to check on our table before & after the meal, & was not only providing great service as a manager, he is also a pretty cool guy. Delicious food, great, friendly service, & a cool vibe made for a great dining experience!
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.
This was the absolute best dining experience of my Montreal trip. The place is gorgeous. Such an amazing atmosphere & aesthetic to the dining room. The server was perfect. She was attentive & so nice. The host was also amazing, & he was great to talk to.
The food was top notch. This is seriously a must visit in Montreal for a perfect dinner. The oysters were delicious & the steak was absolutely off the hook. Best steak I have had in a long time.
One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Every dish was delicious-especially the rib steak ! The service was top-notch. Will definitely be coming back.
I had an excellent experience . Very nice manager jesse greeted us at the door , our server Thomas was super nice . Had steak shrimp & passion fruit mojito - delicious . Highly recommend
