Lucilles has been on my restaurant bucket list since I saw the location was set to open in Pointe Claire years ago. The service was incredible. From the hostess greeting all the way to the cheque, the staff was present, attentive without being intrusive, fast & friendly. We were left to our conversations but never left looking for another cocktail or other service. Sadly, the food was extremely disappointing. A dozen premium oysters lacked any sort of brininess that they're known for. Accompanied by 2 slim lemon slices & dry horseradish. Clam chowder lacked seasoning & the cubed potatoes were undercooked & crunchy. Six calamari rings were nearly $20 & had so much snap to them. Lastly salmon tartare which was billed as "Asian-style", was fresh & firm but lacked any sort of flavoring, served with a head of iceberg lettuce cut in half, with dirt between the leaves & crispy rice noodles that had potential but also had no seasoning of flavor to them. Both other people at the table ordered steaks which were served on wood cutting boards, which were cracked so leaked juices on to the table. I had such high expectations for this experience & I was incredibly let down. I hugely appreciate the level of service that we received but in seeking a great dining experience, I think this Lucilles' location majorly missed the mark.Voir plus

Not the first time here. Went for an early dinner with friends. Place was maybe 5% full to the 1 main area. (3 seating areas available). $1 Oysters (small) are still a good deal. Oder 100 if you need to, it's still a better deal than $3 oysters. Had the lobsters which came with very basic greens. Lobsters looked like 5oz which are 2/$10 or $15 depending on timing. Smaller than expected for $44 but delicious. Best deal seems to be the Surf & Turf where you get a full rack of ribs (dozen bones), a lobster roll & fries for $38(?). Ribs have the flavour of Baton Rouge. The real disappointer was the calamari coming in at about 9 pieces for $19. Compared to Keg, Baton rouge or Scarollies, you get x2 x2.5 volume for the same price else where. I would order something else. Service was fine starting off because of the empty room, but later that night it took about 15 minutes+ to get a bottle of wine delivered to the table which is the easiest minimum $50 order you can sell. Water replenished & served as needed, no issues with wait staff keeping an eye on your table.Voir plus

We ordered the $1 oysters to start. They were nice & fresh. The watermelon tuna tartare was interesting & flavorful. Their two junior cheeseburgers were also really good.Voir plus

I ordered the lobster tails & salad. The salad had too much salt. The $1 oysters had 4 oysters that were smelly & seemed spoiled.the rest was excellent. I did not eat the oysters. Thx

1st time at Lucilles & we were impressed! The oysters were beautifully presented, the seafood pasta was delicious (plentiful grilled seafood & a spicy cream sauce), & the tiramisu was fresh. The service was friendly & attentive.Voir plus

Our table enjoyed the new addition to your menu , the fried chicken . 3 of us had steak that was awesome , we all loved the seasoning on the steak . The sweet potato fries are some of the best we have had . The other 3 had the lobster Roll & enjoyed very much . The waiters were attentive & the bus boy was amazing , brought new napkins & cutlery for each course . Everyone enjoyed the appetizers that had , I really loved the Caesar salad, the pickles were a nice touch & I liked that the salad had the right amount of dressing. The hot crab dip was delicious , the oysters were a hit , calamari was great .
Drinks were delivered quickly & the waiter kept the water bottle full . Very great experience .

This is a re-review of this new Lucille spot. When I first came, their dollar oysters were paper thin. They were essentially worthless. Now, I find them to be better, more thick, & more substantial. The taste isn't anything to celebrate but for the price I'm satisfied. For a high-priced bar, I would expect them to be able to freeze a large cube of ice & serve a Negroni the right way. Not with mere ice cubes, but with a substantial cube that melts over time, providing a Negroni experience as it was meant to be enjoyed. They still only have small cubes, the same as you get at your local dive bar. Why did I pay for something nice, but was served something you expect at the local pool hall down the street? I honestly wanted to give 3 stars as I did previously, but this time I tried their beef tartare which was truly amazing. The service was also quick & the bartender properly identified a bourbon I chose to pair with my dish. So, overall, they have left me impressed & adequately satisfied. However, it is inexcusable to charge exorbitant prices & serve cocktails with ice cubes. Such a simple solution (freezing large cubes) yet they ignore it for reasons I cannot fathom.Voir plus

I go to Lucille's specifically for oysters, since there isn't many places you can go for them. I got there & waited for the rest of my party, by the time they got there we waited 15 minutes to be served & be taken our orders. Because of the time limit put on our table this gave me a lot of stress. When we got our food my oysters never came & when I asked the waitress & just told her to cancel them (since I wouldn't finish them at that point & can't take 18 oysters home) she sighed & walked away with an attitude. As someone who works in service I am not one to complain & understand that when you're stressed it's hard to filter a reaction, but some kind of compensation would have been great. Not even an apology or anything to help me enjoy my experience at the restaurant which should be the manager's main priority. I was still polite & left a good tip, I understand but I am disappointed with my experience.

December 31 we arrived for our 1800 reservation. The first thing the hostess told us was that we have to leave at 2000. That's fine since we were also advised on the website when making the reservation. We ordered oysters for the table, 2 bottles of wine, we each ordered starters & mains. They gave us the bill, which was wrong, they put my food on the other gentleman's bill rather than my husband's, waiter never asked. At precisely 1925 the hostess told us we had to leave, while we were still drinking our wine. I was stunned!! I mentioned to her that we had our table until 2000 & she completely ignored me. That whole scene was completely unnecessary & extremely rude. I hope this review falls to the right person.

Dollar oysters are unbelievably small.
The oyster in the shell is the size of a dime.

We went last friday. Service was one of the best I have had in a while. Drinks were decent, the rib steak was good, the premium Oysters were really good.The Pecan pie was meh (like it cooked too fast at a high temp, but not long enough so top & bottom was burnt but the middle was doughy. The price was expensive (but we were full & happy)Voir plus

The plan was for an entree of oysters & a main. The result was 6 regular & 6 premium oysters paired with a great bottle. Twelve more premium oysters were added. They were outstanding. No room for a main but will be back for the octopus.

Second visit for my wife & I, brought our daughter & family to enjoy dining at Lucille.
A dozen oysters were enjoyed by 4 of us.
Our choice of main dish varied from sea bass to surf & turf, fish & chips for me ( quite salty).
Our daughter enjoyed her wedge salad, a dish not found in Europe she says. Younger grandson had the grilled octopus, & polished it off.
We had a dry Prosecco with the oysters, & a btle of Sancerre for the main course , both suggested by our attentive & knowledgeable waiter Baptiste. Bravo

why offer oysters for $ 1 each when they are too small to enjoy ?
