Had the steak frites & maple salmon glazed for my friend - it was good! Wish I've tried the lobster roll but I had it also last weekend. Will definitely come back to try more.
What is happening to our favourite local spot? Why all the new staff who have no idea what Lucille's is. We miss the regular friendly staff. This is our 3rd time in recent where the service is horrible. The bartenders use to make the best drinks now they have no idea what they are doing? Would love to know why the sudden change. Not happy that we need to find a new spot for neighbourhood dinners.

Big disappointment with the lobster rolls. We ordered on Uber Eats for $109 & when we received our lobster rolls, there was barely any lobster for the two buns. we had ordered from Lucille's near Centre Bell & knew what to expect in terms of quantity, but the standard wasn't just met here. Moreover, the fries were soaked & humid. Thankfully, the manager was kind enough to answer the phone & offer a refund.
I love Lucille's food in general, but this location is hands down the #1 by far. The service is excellent & really sets it apart. Donovan is super attentive, friendly, & professional. The food was great, the atmosphere was great, & Alek, the manager, was also fantastic & clearly leads a strong team. You can tell the staff genuinely care. Highly recommend!
It is always great whenever we go! Last night was really outstanding because they were testing some of the new items on their upcoming menu. We were brought extra dishes, (mining crab cakes, breaded & fried veal, baked potatoes...) on top of what we ordered. All completely on the house.
Everything was delicious. Service was attentive & music & atmosphere were rocking.
We were in Montreal for a conference & went to Lucille's because we had heard good things about it. I had the steak frites & the steak was cooked to perfection (med-rare) & had very good flavor. Fries were seasoned nicely. Our server, Sarah, was very friendly & made the night better! Drinks were also very good!
It was the first time for my husband & I, at this restaurant on Monkland ave, & definitely not the last time! A nice warm setting, a very clean restaurant that has a good ventilation.
The food is very good, many working staff members, everyone is polite, smiling & working hard, a real teamwork.
The restaurant was packed, & it was only Tuesday. We sat indoors & many people sat on the outside terrace. We ordered shrimp cocktail & a Greek salad as entrées. 6 huge tender, juicy shrimps, so yummy, & the Greek salad with a big piece of Feta cheese was out of this world, so yummy, the best I have eaten in years.
Then my husband had the grilled lobster with French fries & house salad, & I ordered the 2 lobsters rolls with French fries. The lobster was very good, perfectly grilled, tender juicy, & very well seasoned with garlic, butter, so yummy. My 2 lobster rolls were excellent, & the bread was lightly toasted,, the best rolls ever. We drank beer with the food.
As dessert, we ordered the divine crème brûlée, so creamy, so tasty, a big portion, & also ordered the cheese cake, which was a bit on the dry side.
The service was courteous, fast & our waitress Olivia was very pleasant, hard worker, very attentive & quite helpful about the menu, answering all our questions.
This restaurant has a friendly & welcoming feeling which made our dining experience a very happy one. We will definitely be back to try everything they have on the menu.

This was my first time eating at Lucille's. The atmosphere is okay. Nice, but basic. The presentation of the food was quite lovely. I'm kind of mad I forgot to take a photo. I wish the server was a little bit more detailed oriented about my dish, she failed to mention that it was lettuce wraps, with my tartare. Because I would have chosen the fries instead of the sides salad. My tartare dish had nice bold flavor, which I particularly like. It's a 20 minute walk from our house. So I'll definitely go back, to try something else.
I was there with a couple friends & we had their NY strip steak & it was cooked to perfection. Service was good, they were quick. It was our first time but not our last
Easy 5 stars all around. Went as group of 6. Waitress was always available & kind. All rest of staff were very nice. The food was honestly fantastic. Sweet potato fries are crazy, the steaks were perfect. The oysters were great. Even the little house salad was so good. We were all so pleasantly surprised on how great it was & already planning future birthdays there. You really can't go wrong!
Great food, although choices in fish are limited. A bit overpriced. Fries are some of the best in town! Would love them to have more draft /craft beer (took one star off for that). A bit dark but that's up to personal preference

I loved our visit to Lucille's. We were a party of 6 & everyone seemed to love their food. Service can be a bit slow, but the waitress we had was friendly & was able to answer any questions we had about the food.
We had the seafood tower, which is really good, but somewhat expensive for you you get. Don't know if I would get it again
I had the fish tacos, which were very tasty, & my wife had the calamari, which also tasted great, but I wish the portion size was a bit bigger.
My friend & I couldn't decide between the lobster rolls & steak, so we ended up ordering both the lobster rolls & the porterhouse for 2. The porterhouse was the best steak I have eaten at any restaurant & the lobster roll was also great.
All in all, it's a very good restaurant, & we'll 100% be going back.
1$ oysters are not too bad, a bit small but definitely worth it. Food is quite tasty too, I've tried different kinds of things of the menu & didn't disappoint. The place is nice, clean & the staff is very friendly, & also are on point with work efficiency. I would go back & recommend to any family, friends.
Great & friendly service . Our waiter was super attentive . Unfortunately the kitchen is not backing up the overall experience . My tuna tartare was very light on the tuna but more than made up for the missing tuna with too much onion - just awful!
This place is such a good vibe & heavenly gift for the seafood lovers, keeping in mind Montreal is not by the ocean so always accounting for that freshness bit which is why I give it 4 stars. Loved getting affordable oysters (albeit small) they hit the spot & satisfy the craving!!! The Caesar was an absolute DREAM come true. The lobster rolls delivered. I can't wait to go back. We visited with a friend who had a newborn. & the staff were kind & lovely. Highly recommend. Lovely neighborhood
Had a lovely dinner at Lucille's Monkland location last night - the food was spectacular (I wish I could cook a bavette like that!) & the service was second to none - from the hostess, to our waitress & the busy boy - everyone was attentive, professional & friendly. Many other restaurants could learn a thing or two!
