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.

The food quality didn't match the price. Although the wine chosen was good, the waitress unfortunately spilled a some.

Update Nov 2025: went by myself at lunch before shopping for Christmas.

Had the entrée of roasted cauliflower (very nice. Mix of raw/pickled cauliflower & some roast ones, with salad, capers, tomatoes & parmesan cheese. 9/10).

Waitress (Carla) mentioned to get my main bavette medium instead of medium rare (my usual). Great advice by her. The result was great. 9/10.

Wifey & I went to Lucille's Fairview for lunch time, on the 3rd day after opening.

I had a half-dozen premium oysters. I would give it at 9.5/10 for the quality & taste of these oysters.

We both other steaks: one Kansas cut, one filet mignon. We asked both to be cooked medium-rare. Wifey's filet mignon was spot on, while my Kansas was a solid medium (I am not fussy enough to complain/return it). The taste of both steak were delicious! A tender filet mignon with nice french fries. I had a side of garlic mash. They were nice & creamy, but could have used more garlic to reach the wow factor.

We had two glasses of wine (a red & a white). Note that there is a solid mark-up on some basic bottles. e.g. Oyster Bay sauvignon blanc was 55$, when we buy regularly that wine at the SAQ at 20$.

Even if the place opened recently the lunch service was effective & efficient. The staff was polite & friendly.

We would definitely go again.

Used to go on Monkland when they first opened & enjoyed it very much. Since they've expanded I've been to the Pointe-Claire one a couple of times, as well as Laval & Monkland. To be honest, the quality has plummeted since the old days. The prices are quite high for what you get & what you get ain't much in terms of quality. Once had the seafood tower & was served crab legs still frozen. They insisted it wasn't frozen, but when you bite down & feel an icy crunch, it's frozen-thawed. I can cook fresh way better at home & cheaper. They have live crabs at various Asian grocers around town. One time I went against my better judgement & ordered steak. BIG MISTAKE! Honestly, I don't won't why people are impressed. It's over-priced & underwhelming. For seafood, there's wayyyyyyy better in MTL.

We had a fairly large group (25, I think) & Lucille's was kind enough to accommodate us on very short notice.

The venue itself is gorgeous, with seafood & steak vibes & a smart layout (great traffic flow).

Our server was very friendly & methodical & did a great job with keeping things moving for our table (some of our folks had to make a flight).

The food was delicious (the lobster roll & ribs were what I ordered - & boy were they tasty). Everyone else seemed to be pleased with their meal as well.

The price point is spot-on given the quality of the food.

Whether you're shopping in the mall & need a break tof a meal, or just stopping in from elsewhere else - Lucille's is a great place to eat!

I ordered a portion of ribs with fries. Fries were good but the ribs were not good at all. Horribly tough with barely any meat on the bones. I was barely able to break them apart. I rarely review but for the price I payed & how much I heard about this place I was very disappointed. Admittedly I ubered them, but they were still warm & I doubt that them being delivered should have had any effect on the quality.

Ambiance is good, food & service just ok. There are much better options available for that price range & quality, but they are not bad either.

Hello, so i dined at Lucilles Fairview on Feb 15 2025. This was my second time there. The service & ambiance was as amazing as last year, sadly my dish was not.

Last year i had ordered the octopus dish & it was beyond amazing. I was raving about it for a couple of weeks. Yesterday i ordered the same dish & was sadly, wholeheatedly, disappointed. While the octopus was well cooked, the quantity was not the same as last year for about the same price (shrinkflation?), & the underlying Greek salad was not made the same way. Last year there was an almost feta puree included which was a wonderful addition tp the dish, this year they just put a couple of small pieces of feta. Definitely not the same quality dish as last year, & not something i would ever order again at Lucilles if i were to ever go back.

I should also mention we started with the large oysters, & one of the six had a slight off-putting taste, luckily no one got sick.

It's too bad really, they had a winning dish last year which made the dining experience perfect, & well worth the money spent.

We were a group of 10 for dinner celebrating my wife's birthday. Service was great. My wife & I shared the porterhouse, it was just warm enough to eat. My parents shared the chateaubriand & it was room temperature at best. My sister ordered the tartare as a meal, portion served was the entree, they forgot the crusty bread. The management offered to refire the chateaubriand, & comp'ed us desserts for the table. Having been to this restaurant many times before, I have noticed a steady decline in quality & attention to detail. Overall experience was okay, not what you'd expect from Lucille's.

I dined here on Saturday August 24th at 5PM. We were a party of four & had a great time. I ate at the Brossard location a few weeks ago & wasn't too impressed, however this time it was a real game changer. The restaurant was pretty empty at that time, I prefer eating early since I dislike crowds & enjoy a more quiet atmosphere. If you don't have a reservation you can easily find a table before 6PM. We were greeted right away, service was prompt & friendly. Our group tried two types of appetizers, the fried calamari & kentucky style fried chicken. Both were delicious, fresh, left us wanting more. I found the portion was pretty small compared to the price, for $19 the calamari was just enough for 2 people, not meant to share with a whole table unless you only get 1 or 2 bites each. Our main meals were 3 different types of steak, one opted for a large rib eye, a new york strip & filet mignon, & one person had the salmon. We upgraded sides to the cheesy mashed potatoes & sweet potato fries. In all we were very impressed with the food, the flavor, cook & portions for the main meals were excellent. I wish all of their french fries had a thicker cut, the regular fries are kind of like shoestring versus the sweet potatoes are thick. This had a far better texture. Steaks were cooked to perfection & well seasoned - this was entirely different compared to our last experience at the Lucille's in Dix 30. The servers took time to refill our water & clean the tables in between meals, change our cultery too. I could tell there was a particular attention to us. I think it makes a huge difference when you are basically the only table in the restaurant at that time. This a great place to enjoy quality food if you like seafood or steak in particular - the atmosphere is modern, there's lots of place to sit both indoor or outdoors & the service was top notch. I would come back for a special occasion, I felt very satisfied with the whole experience.

Horrible service & mediocre food. Ordered several dishes to share for the table. The first dish arrived, calamari which was actually delicious, but tiny, then we waited over 45 minutes for anything else to show up while we watched every other table around us get their food. Our waiter passed by our table table several times & never once acknowledged that we were sitting with an empty table. Then at the end it took another 30 minutes to get our bill. The lobster rolls, once they finally showed up were quite good, albeit way overpriced, the crab cakes & salmon tartare however were unappealing, no one in my party cared for them. The cheeseburgers were just ok, would not repeat, lacked seasoning. I've been to Lucille's many times on Monkland, this visit to Fairview was a huge disappointment, & way overpriced for what you get, both in quality & portion size. Stick to the steaks or ribs & you'll be fine.

Both my wife & I got pretty bad food poisoning from our dinner tonight unfortunately. We used to go to this location quite a bit with family but have seen a pretty bad decline in the food quality in the last year. We unfortunately won't be eating there again.

We had a great experience at Lucille's. The food was high quality, the service was excellent & the atmosphere great as well. The oysters & hot crab dip were delicious. The steak & seafood for the most part was excellent. Out of the 4 meals, the only disappointing thing was the lobster roll (lobster was excellently cooked, but the roll lacked flavour). The Lucille's bloody Caesar's, which we've had before & we're delicious, were just not up to the same quality last night (watery). Overall a good experience.

I expected more quality for the money. I don't mind paying, as long as the quality comes with it. 2 people, steak meal plus 2 drinks for 150.00 $, deserves a higher level of quality than what we got served, in my opinion.

Great food , service & ambiance. A huge bonus is that they make very good cocktails. I really recommend their margarita. I had the rib steak & my wife had the filet. Both were amazing. I don't usually like the taste of filet mignon but I tried my wife's & it was as if I was in Texas. Simply melts in your mouth. The side vegetables are also very good. They grill fennel. How cool is that? Dessert was great . People around me were fun / friendly. Totally the vibe I am looking for. Shout out to our waiter was Nick who gave us top notch service! They gave us new cutlery & napkins after the appetizer. Very nice touch. Our water kept being filled. I see come reviews saying that it's pricey. I find it very comparable to other restaurants that don't out the same superb quality. Honestly, very impressed but I like quality & am not opposed to paying a high bill if it's worth it. . I can't wait to go back
