Lucille's Fairview. usually quite busy, guess that's a good thing but we always find seating whether its just 2 or group of 4. Varied menu, sea-food, the usual meat choices. We have been there several times. always something however. Last night we had lobster rolls (my date...of 40+ yrs) & i ordered an eggplant creation (ordered this previously) & some'premium oysters'. the food was fine, the salad that came with Lobster rolls was quite good. My encrusted eggplant wasn't' as good as last time : taste wise it was same but in FEB the veggies ( zucchini/ radish slices) was an artistic creation of supper thin zucchini, in a swirl pattern. Last night the veggies were just plunked on top.
the service is always attentive. > now the oysters< ...super small , apparently the $1 oysters are same size, but i paid $21 for 6 ($3.5 each).
Not complaining, but these were not premium oysters. our drinks were fine (Caesars ...double & virgin)
Enjoy.
On a busy Friday night, the restaurant was absolutely booming, & the energy set the stage for a wonderful dining experience. The food did not disappoint. I started with the clam chowder, which was hearty, flavorful, & very satisfying. For my main course, I chose the octopus served over a Greek tomato salad, & it was absolutely delicious. The octopus was tender & generously portioned, perfectly cooked. The salad itself was fresh & vibrant, with high-quality feta cheese & a dressing that was full of flavor.
Dessert was a fresh key lime pie that was light, refreshing, & the perfect ending to the meal. Service throughout the evening was excellent - attentive, friendly, & well-paced despite how busy the restaurant was,
The only downside to an otherwise great evening was the seating. Despite making my reservation well in advance, the table felt crowded & didn't offer enough space to fully relax & enjoy the meal. That said, it was a minor drawback compared to the overall quality of the food & service.
Overall, I left very satisfied & would definitely return. The excellent cuisine & attentive service make this restaurant well worth another visit.

Our waiter Ali was attentive even though the restaurant was very busy. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. The atmosphere was lively & inviting. The food was outstanding. The service was impeccable.
In spite of our visit being on a very busy Friday night, the service was superb, the best in recent memory. The wait staff was polite, efficient & friendly without being overly so. They responded to our requests without delay. The service was deserving of 6 stars. The food was excellent, portions were generous & it was delivered promptly without any hint of rushing us. The decor is a bit bleak. The unfinished concrete floor does not give the restaurant a cozy ambience. Also, vegetarians & vegans may be offended by the overwhelming display of meat immedately inside the front door.
It's been quite some time since I have eaten at one of the Lucille's restaurants & it was my first visit to this location.
The decor is modern & the atmosphere is inviting. When entering the premises you are greeted by huge slabs of beef.
Our reservation was for 7 pm on a Friday. It was not very busy, yet the hostess tried to seat us at the worst table near the toilet. Ya, not happening.
Once we got to another place to sit, we ordered IPAs & dinner.
I had the Surf & Turf that consisted of a lobster roll, ribs, & fries. My husband had the Steak & fries. Mine was delicious & a nice size portion but my husband's, even though it was very tasty was a small portion. He walked away hungry.
My order of ribs was tender & fell off the bone but not very meaty. The sauce was tangy & ever so sweet. The bun of the lobster roll was lightly buttered & not overloaded with lobster. Too bad. I was expecting more. I know the prices of food have gone up but charge another $5 & serve a bigger roll.
Service was very friendly, efficient, & quick.
Will I go back? Probably. The food was good.

I love Lucilles, I go to this location pretty often but I was very disappointed last night to the point where I have to share my experience.
Went for dinner with a friend last night, we waited an hour & 15 minutes for our main dish. In between this, we did have an appetizer. The waitress kept telling us that it wouldn't be long & that our food was coming but the wait was just ridiculous. If the restaurant was busy, I would completely understand HOWEVER, there was barely anyone left inside as it was way after 9:00pm. At one point the waitress came up & said since it's been taking so long, she will try & get us a free dessert.
We got our main meal around 10 & finished up around 10:20. At this time, the waitress tells us the dessert options, I asked for a creme brûler but because the kitchen was closed, it wasn't an option. I asked for the maple cheesecake & as I said that, she starts to walk away without asking my friend what she wanted… My friend asks what other options there were as she was not interested in the maple cheesecake which is when the waitress told us she could only offer us 1 dessert.. EL OH EL. 1 dessert for two friends to share is cheap. If I was with my husband or if my friend was with her boyfriend that would make sense to share, but telling two friends to share a dessert??? The waitress clearly could have done more to rectify our situation, an amount off our bill, a free drink each , two desserts at least but no. I don't understand how one could not be embarrassed telling two people to share a small dessert. Very embarrassing, especially when we couldn't order something else even if we wanted to since the kitchen was closed.
Lively ambiance, the restaurant is always busy & buzzing with energy. The service is good & the food is delicious. The drinks are well made but a bit on the pricey side.
Their seafood & steaks are recommended. Great place for a romantic night out or for a group of friends.
Another wonderful evening at Lucille's! Reservation for 7 on a busy Saturday, but the manager was able to find us a better table after he saw my less-than-enthused face (original table was right beside the bathroom). For the rest of the evening, the service was impeccable, well above average, & the food & drinks were on-point & delicious. 4 of us ordered filet mignon, all with different cooks, & they all came out perfect. The menu has changed slightly since our last visit (no clam chowder & no lobster tails to add to a steak) but we found some great alternatives like the Thai scallops. At no time did we lack for anything, as service was anticipatory & so very friendly. All in all, a fabulous experience!
NOTE: the only thing I would point out as a minor negative is that they did not have any gluten-free bread, which would have been perfect for the celiac-sufferer in our group.
I recently visited this restaurant & had a mixed experience. For appetizers, I ordered the burrata & fried chicken, followed by the Wood Oven Chicken for my main & tiramisu for dessert.
The food itself was very flavorful & delicious. The fried chicken & tiramisu were standout dishes - both were incredibly tasty & memorable. However, I was disappointed with the portion size of the Wood Oven Chicken. For a main dish, it only came with six small pieces, which felt underwhelming - especially since the fried chicken appetizer was actually larger than the main.
It's worth noting that this is more of a seafood restaurant, & I didn't order any seafood, so other guests' experiences may differ. That said, even if you're not a seafood eater, there are still good options available.
Service was a bit disappointing. Our server seemed rushed & annoyed, didn't explain much, & appeared more focused on getting our orders in quickly rather than creating a welcoming experience.
On the positive side, the restaurant had a cozy, casual, & lively atmosphere, & it was very clean with some unique decor elements that added charm. Despite being busy, our orders were accurate & arrived in a reasonable time.
In terms of value, I felt the experience could have been better - especially given the rushed service. While it's more of a higher-end spot, the prices weren't outrageous.
A plus was the easy parking since it's located in a mall, & our reservation ensured there was no wait.
Overall, I'd recommend this place for the food, especially the fried chicken & tiramisu, but I'd suggest going in with tempered expectations for portion sizes & service. If you enjoy seafood, your experience may be even better.

I had a fantastic first experience at Lucille's! Despite the restaurant being busy, we were promptly greeted. I tried the Mediterranean seabass filet, recommended by our amazing waitress, Maya, & absolutely loved it. Maya's friendly & attentive service truly made the night special. Hoping to come back soon!
Group of people, so took over the patio. Food was regular pub style, but good. Service was spoty, but it was rather busy, & we were not expected, about 30 people.
Strangely, it was not very busy for a Father's Day supper at 6pm. I was able to reserve a table for 4 just an hour before. Not a complaint to be able to get a table. Our waiter was good, the atmosphere was average, nothing spectacular. Perhaps we were early. Anyhow, we dined at Lucille's Tremblant & Lucille Laval many times. We felt both places were better than Fairview, even atmosphere wise. My kids both ordered the salmon tartare entree at 21$ each, which at the other locations, came with 1/2 boston lettuce. Here, there was none. I was going to ask but by the time the waiter pops over, my kids already finished the tartare. It was a small portion!!! The food, don't order the demi-snow crab appertizer. It was two tiny legs in a huge plate of ice for 27$ about. Not worth it. I had the steak frites for 35$ which I find it's good, but nothing spectacular to choose it over other places. We had to order the seafood linguini for the kids as they were still hungry. Overall, we spent ~250$ service included for a supper of 2 adults & two kids with two alcoholic drinks, a Shirley Temple & a Gingerale. Not a cheap meal. I should have gone to Kiku Monkland for sushi & probably have a better supper & experience for the same price.
I had the lobster rolls. Delicious!!!! At first I thought that it was pricey, but the portions are quite large. Way too many fries though. The waiter was friendly & quick to offer drinks, but he didn't check on the non- alcohol drinkers very often. When our group had all arrived it took a bit before he took our main course order. & since it was busy it was hard to converse with everyone at the table.

I made a reservation for 2 by mistake instead of 4. They were very accommodating to fit us in. Restaurant is very busy & the staff are excellent to get the meals, drinks, etc... out.
Based on the fancy decor, well stocked bars, & professional staff, you know this is a popular & happening place! They are a bit too busy & can use more staff to help?
Lucille's Fairview is a decent & good place to eat we came here on A Wednesday night. Pros: 1) The food here is absolutely alright & delicious. 2) Our waiter & Servers were kind & always positive. 3) Food was not too long to wait around 20-30 minutes. 4) The Cesar Salad was amazing & it had pickles in it & the dressing was the right amount. 5) The Lamb chops Hamburgers & The Lobster rolls that my we ate & shared are amazing & cooked well. 6 Atmosphere is very nice & it feels like a home. 7) Washrooms are unisex & clean. 8) They have a bar with drinks & a wine list. Cons: 1) Parking might be a challenge. 2) We had only one waiter & some were serving so if it's busy you may have less service. All in all I would come back here again in the near future because the food. Service & everything else were good & top notch. I would recommend you guys try & rate it yourselves.
We were seated next to the entrance to the kitchen & so it was busy ..our waiter was not really around very much. He was polite but not super attentive. He took a long time to take our order. I am always quite surprised at how quickly the food comes out..it's a little too quick!! I love Lucille's, my husband & I go often.
It was really busy so service was a little slow but really not complaining. I just want others to know it is a busy restaurant so service might be not super fast.
