On a Sunday night, the restaurant was moderately full. I love the slanted mirrors so you can check out the rest of the establishment. One thing I remember, though, is that our waitress ( who was excellent) referred to us a couple of times as' my loves.' I found that a little awkward. I know I am being a little bit picky, & I don't recall her name, so she'll have to figure out who I am, & I appreciate everything else that she did. It doesn't take anything away from my excellent experience. Oh, & she highly recommended the grilled octopus salad, which was amazing. Thanks for that young lady.
The food was amazing, I had oysters & Octopus with Greek salad & I could not be more pleased. The place was festive & the service impecable, overall a great evening & great food. Strongly recommend 👌

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.
Nous avons adoré notre repas. Cuisine de style bistro. J'ai pris le plat de demi pieuvre. Elle était accompagnée d'une salade grecque & d'une vinaigrette crémeuse qui l'accompagnait parfaitement. Ma femme a pris le trio de tartare & elle a beaucoup aimé. Bien entendu, les huîtres en entrée sont un incontournable, surtout pour le prix de 1$/huître.
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!
I personally preferred the Laval place. I think that this one is so small. I was not amazed by the fish taco that I took as an appetizer but overall it was not bad. They changed the salmon tartare presentation it used to be with salad & rice crunch now it changed. I prefer take it with handmaid tortilla chips instead of the plantain chip just an FYI

Not the first & definitely not the last time at Lucille's monkland location.
The First time I ordered beef capacio, it was really good ! Super fresh beef
Then we had a tartare trio, I found it was ok. But the grilled octopus with salad, it is really good! It doesn't cooked too dry. It is crunchy with cucumber & tomato. The sauce is good too.
Not to mention the $1 oysters to start with!
The service was good, & the food came out fast. I highly recommend it!
& if it was your first time, definitely the monkland location is the BEST
I had an amazing dinner experience here! We really enjoyed the oysters & the burrata. The sangria & atmosphere were decent, but the real star of the show was the Octopus salad-absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come back & try more of the seafood.
From the warm welcome by the hostess at the door to the attentive service from staff like Judy, Lucille's delivers excellence. The steak for two is perfectly cooked, the lucky lime oysters are fresh, & the lobster rolls are rich & buttery. Even the Caesar salad impresses with its bold flavors.
The cozy yet stylish ambiance makes it perfect for any occasion. Manager Jesse ensures everything runs smoothly, adding a personal touch. With gluten-free options & a well-curated menu, Lucille's is a top choice for seafood & steak lovers.
Apps were good. We had the crab cakes & Steak Tartare. Steak was over seasoned with so much sugar. The Caesar salad had barely any dressing on it & the lettuce was dry, the pickles were a weird component. Service wasn't great, we sat waiting to order our mains & order another drink well after we finished our appetizers. The busboy team was great & efficient.

We were visiting from NYC our daughter who attends a university in Montreal. Our server Olivia was amazing as usual. We had oysters, lobster rolls, filet mignon, roasted chicken, ribs & kale salad. Everything was delicious! We will come back again soon 😊
the portion of the food is very small comparing to the price! I just recommend the oyster , to be honest other foods doesn't worth it! we get the fried calamari & crab salad , super small portion!!
The food was excellent. We both enjoyed our meal, oysters & fish tacos to start, octopus salad & grilled calamari for mains. The staff was helpful & friendly.
I've never been to an Oyster Bar, & was very pleasantly surprised. I was there celebrating my birthday & had the salad with shrimp & avocado, delicious! & I did try the oysters, also delicious.

I typically Love this restaurant but there were issues that need to be addressed. First there was an error in our order but it was addressed. Then my salad had absolutely no dressing in it & tasted like raw kale. I wanted to ask the waitress for more dressing but she was not around at all. By the time someone came to see if we were done with our food, I asked if I could take home the salad & if more dressing could be added on the side. The bus boy(not even our waitress) said of course & then proceeded to take my friends cutlery from her salad & place it in mine. Since we are good friends it did not bother me but if I was with a business colleague or someone I did not know well, this would have been a major faux-pas. I asked for the dressing to be added on the side. The salad came back with dressing mixed in. Again. Not the end of the world but this meal cost close to $100 for My portion & for that price, the service & food preparation were seriously lacking. I could eat anywhere in the city for that price & will definitely think about this next time.
Casual. Hip spot. 1$oysters just ok. Avocado snow crab salad delicious . Kansas cut steak one of the best ever!! Calamari steak very good.
Bloody Caesar was amazing. Such good spices around the room. Good lager too
