We had a steak with sweet potato fries, salmon with same, lobster roll with salad & 2 glasses of wine. No appetizer.
The steak, salmon & fries were delicious. The lobster rolls less so because of the type of bread used. The salad was too salty & the bill came to over 200 dollars.
We decided not to go back in the future.

Spent a wonderful evening with delicious food & impeccable service! The roasted cauliflower appetizer was superb & the steaks were cooked to perfection. The ambiance was lovely & our waitress, Maya, truly made our night so memorable. Attentive, kind, & knowledgeable, she guided us through our choices & ensured we had the best evening. A big thank you to the managers, Alek & Niko, who made us feel so special. Will definitely be back!
It was a great experience, although I found a few elements strange. First, the restaurant does not offer plain mashed potatoes; they only serve a cheese mash. Additionally, they do not offer baked potatoes. This was a first for me at a high-end restaurant where steak is a specialty dish.
?The final oddity that will likely prevent me from returning was the'no cream' policy. They do not have cream available for those of us who enjoy it with our coffee. While it is a great restaurant with excellent food & top-tier service, I simply cannot support an establishment that doesn't offer a potato I can eat or cream for my coffee.
Was treated here for my milestone birthday this past February. Wow...the staff, the food, the ambiance 100%. My friend wanted to adopt Baptist, our server. So friendly & helpful. Our steak frittes/salad done to perfection. Yes, we shared the sides. We were placed in a section, not too noisy where we could hear ourselves talk, & no one rushed us out. I so appreciated a free chocolate mousse bomb with a candle on top (again we shared). It's not my first time at Lucille's & it certainly wont be my last. Unfortunately I forgot to take photos except for the chocolate bomb.
Service was amazing. Calamari, ny strip & drinks were amazing. Don't order the bavette. It was cooked wrong & the issue was not appropriately rectified. We sent it back & the same steak, cut in pieces was brought back burnt & overcooked. The service staff was very kind about the issue & did what was within their power to resolve our experience.
Lunch with my friend, I had calamari, which was 5 small rings I total, & steak tartare, that was not cut properly & had weird spices in it. As I am a fan of steak tartare, I found it was poor in taste. We also had a bottle of wine. Service was practically non existent, nobody to pour wine or water, nobody asked if we wanted a dessert or coffee. My friend had a shrimp cocktail that was good & salmon tartare that was ok. Bill came to $170 in total, which in my opinion is insane. Will not be going back.
Our waitress was amazing! However the food was gross. Calamari was ok, tuna tartare top was frozen, order a New York steak medium which was overdone & so tough was hard to eat! Waitress offered to change it but didn't want to wait. Friend ordered sirloin with shrimp, it too was overdone & she sent he's back. Waited a while for it to be replaced but was definitely better. Not impressed & definitely won't return!
Très bon souper! On a vraiment bien manger, le goût du steak est incroyable. Le resto est plein, si vous voulez une place le weekend il faut réserver d'avance. Notez que les toilettes sont mixtes.
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.

Firstly, it was very disappointing that the clam chowder soup wasn't on the menu yet.
I ordered shrimp cocktail & the sauce was way too spicy for me also it was hard to dip them in the tiny sauce dish
I also ordered Filet Mignon steak & it was terrible!!!! Also had fat on it. Wasn't cut like Filrt Mignon. I don't believe it was Filet Mignon personally. It came with either French Fries or House Salad. The salad was just lettuce. No sauce on the steak.
I will not go back there & my husband will not go back either. He had to remind them for his glass of wine which turned out to be the better thing of both our meals
Also he ordered the lobster rolls that came with two little pieces of lobster & the rest was artificial crab meat.
VERY DISAPPOINTING & Pricey!!!!!
We were a party of seven. While we were originally disappointed to be seated next to the kitchen, the manager was able to find us much better table. While most of the food, including my steak & shrimp, was very good, my wife's New York strip was tough & she couldn't finish it.
We loved most of the foods (grilled cauliflower salad, seafood Linguini, Lobster rolls, Ribs & the steaks). The Calamari is OK & the Burgers' Patty's were little overcooked. The service was very good as well as the relaw atmosphere.
I hope they removed this tartare dish.
I've been a loyal customer to Lucille, 2 different times I ordered this tartare, 2 times stomachache. Steak was usually ok, but don't even try this one, probably not clean or something.
