Lucille's Oyster Dive

Not the first and 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 tartar 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 and tomato. The sauce is good too. Not to mention the $1 oysters to start with! The service was good, and the food came out fast. I highly recommend it! And if it was your first time, definitely the monkland location is the BEST

It was the first time for my husband and I, at this restaurant on Monkland ave, and 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 and working hard, a real teamwork. The restaurant was packed, and it was only Tuesday. We sat indoors and many people sat on the outside terrace. We ordered shrimp cocktail and a Greek salad as entrées. 6 huge tender, juicy shrimps, so yummy, and 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 and house salad, and I ordered the 2 lobsters rolls with French fries. The lobster was very good, perfectly grilled, tender juicy, and very well seasoned with garlic, butter, so yummy. My 2 lobster rolls were excellent, and 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, and also ordered the cheese cake, which was a bit on the dry side. The service was courteous, fast and our waitress Olivia was very pleasant, hard worker, very attentive and quite helpful about the menu, answering all our questions. This restaurant has a friendly and welcoming feeling which made our dining experience a very happy one. We will definitely be back to try everything they have on the menu.

I had an amazing dinner experience here! We really enjoyed the oysters and the burrata. The sangria and atmosphere were decent, but the real star of the show was the Octopus salad—absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try more of the seafood.

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 and didn’t disappoint. The place is nice, clean and the staff is very friendly, and also are on point with work efficiency. I would go back and recommend to any family, friends.

So good and consistent, the cocktails top and tartare are always soooo fresh! My personal favourite is always 12 oysters, cheese burgers and a key lime pie. They all do an amazing job however there Monkland location will always be my favourite

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 tartar. Because I would have chosen the fries instead of the sides salad. My tartar 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 heard great things about this restaurant, and decided to come give it a visit during my first visit to Montreal. We got seated right away, because we had reservations, however we did end up waiting for awhile to get our order taken, but staff were very friendly and welcoming. We both ordered half a dozen of the premium oysters and their dollar oyster special. Oysters were sweet and tasted amazing! We also ordered the lobster roll, fish and chips, and for dessert the chocolate mousse. First time eating a lobster roll, and I was very impressed and pleased with how it came. The bread was buttery and soft, a good portion of lobster and the mayo just tied it all together beautifully. Fish and chips were decent, but personally I found that there was too much batter, that I got tired of eating half way through one piece. Fries were mediocre. I wouldn't recommend it. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse which tasted amazing and was the perfect dessert to end the meal. The atmosphere and vibe is dark and busy, but it was an amazing experience and I would definitely come back for their lobster roll!

Easy 5 stars all around. Went as group of 6. Waitress was always available and 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 and already planning future birthdays there. You really can’t go wrong!

Nous allons souvent chez Lucille's avec mes copines et nous alternons entre les différents restaurants. Celui-ci était assez pratique pour se garer et l'ambiance un dimanche soir était très agréable. On nous a bien reçues. À force d'y aller nous connaissons bien le menu. La pieuvre sur salade grecque est toujours un très bon choix, je prends la demi portion car cela est bien suffisant. Sinon je recommande également le saumon sur planche de cèdre, la burrata généreusement servie ou encore le crabe frais. Les desserts sont moins intéressants. Le service était agréable et rapide. On ne peut pas se tromper en y allant!

Really enjoyed Lucille's! The menu was creative and the food was delicious. I loved the tuna tartar with watermelon - it was so good. The steak frites was one of the best I've ever had.

The best of the Lucille's. Great ambiance. The Laval and West Island ones are too warehouse for me. Fish Taco's and steak were good as was the salmon tartare. Bill really added up but a good time.

My husband and I had dinner at Lucille's Oyster Dive earlier this week. It was a beautiful evening, so we sat on the patio. It was pretty crowded and the tables are very close to each other. My husband ordered a Manhattan and I ordered a 'Good Thymes' which was made with Ketel One, Les îles, lemon, thyme and soda. Both drinks were absolutely delicious. We then ordered a dozen Lucille's pearls (small oysters), beef tartare and a wedge salad. The oysters were great, so we ordered another dozen. They're quite small but really tasty and fresh. The beef tartare was served with toasts points and was really, really tasty! The wedge salad was with blue cheese and smoked bacon. We were surprised it had pickle slices on it, but they really worked. The entire meal was wonderful and we'd definitely return!

Had a great time at Lucille's last night. We shared dozen oysters and had two lobster rolls each. The food was amazing. The staff are truly phenomenal. Sat on the terrace on a warm evening. Couldn't be better.

2nd visit to Lucille's. Food both times was fantastic. I especially like their unique Greek Salad. Service friendly both times. Will be back for sure!

Great place to dine . The service was fairly quick and their prices are very decent. It is a bit loud however the servers were kind enough to sit us where it was more quiet. Overall the ambiance of this restaurant is very nice. We tried their fish tacos and the burrata as a starter, and as a main course fish. It was delicious, perfectly seasoned and, juicy . I highly recommend trying this with your partner or with friends as an evening get out !

Good vibe here on a Saturday night, although slightly loud. We ordered the fried cauliflower as an appetizer to share between 4 of us and it was actually a salad with fried cauliflower underneath. Not a great shareable plate, but still very good. Not everyone was a seafood lover so we had ribs (fall off the bone) and a NY strip steak that was perfectly done. I had the tuna steak in ponzu, which was so delicious however the tuna a bit stringy in some places. I'm not sure why, but I felt rushed the entire time we were there and our waiter seemed unpleasant with a very fake smile.

I was very impressed with the food, the service, the prices, everything was fabulous. It was a little bit of a drive to get out of the city, but it was definitely worth it. The ambience was great, and I highly recommend this place for oysters, lobster, octopus salad And Barata!

** FOOD POISONING ** Was my first time eating at Lucille's last night. The service was kinda slow and unprepared but nothing appetizers couldn't fix. The food was very good, I ordered oysters and clam chowder and my bf got a crab dip with a bottle of wine. Once I got home I went to bed, and around 3 in the morning I was violently sick. I was throwing up/ dry heaving for 6 hrs straight. I ended up having to go to the hospital to get an IV and antibiotics. I was so dehydrated, nauseous, and weak that I could barely stand. Very very disappointed receiving food poisoning from a well know restaurant that serves sea food. The chefs should be more careful so that this doesn't happen to someone else. This was a very serious matter, I got really sick and I feel like it could've been totally prevented if the chefs had taken the proper precautions before serving. I assumed it was the clam chowder so beware. I am still recovering as I write this and I am not happy at all.

First date night in a loooong time, overdue is an understatement!!! Made day of reservations and was pleasantly surprised that they had room for us. I informed our waiter of my Celiac condition and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. The service was great, friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I started with Oysters i could have had a few dozen myself they were so good, i also had the grilled octopus and the Guedille on a lettuce wrap. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Our first time there and definitely not the last...

Wowww this spot is pretty great. Lots of seafood options and a nice polished environment without being pretentious. The menu is pretty diverse, with a range of different price points. Seafood is always pricey obviously but cmon, cheap seafood would just be a recipe for disaster, haha. The one dollar oysters are actually quite good! Beautifully briney and simply a joy to slurp down. What a great deal. You can feel quite princely as you dine on these delectable morsels of the sea, without paying a princely sum. The takeout option is pretty great in these covid times. The lobster roll is incredible. Buttered bread, big lobster chunks, perfectly seasoned. The ribs and mash are also quite good and very filling. The platters of seafood are kinda pricey, so sharing is probably the best option. Overall it is a nice place, and I'll be back to fulfill my oyster fix.

Lucille's a real treat for those special dinners that you may be planning. The restaurant says 'Dive' but this is by no means a dive. It's a classy upscale restaurant complete with the lighting, leather booths and prices. The food is really really good and well prepared by the kitchen. We had the oysters, the NY strip and the roasted cauliflower salad. The NY strip was perfection and one of the best I've ever had. My friends swear by their lobster rolls which comes loaded with lobster meat. Also one order comes with two rolls, so it's perfect to share between a couple! Service was a little slow even though it wasn't fully packed. At one point I wondered if they would take our orders since they had left us with the menu for so long after bringing our oysters. Thankfully, the rest of the night turned out fine. Prices are on the expensive side, expect to pay for the quality and environment.

good lighting, good oysters, good octopus, good freakin time. 1 star deduction because they ran out of mussels :,)

This was my first time at Lucille and let me tell you WOW WOW WOW, if you want great ambiance and FOOD ( seafood ) you need to stop by and enjoy, amazing staff, great service and great quality food again WOW

My experiences with Lucille's have been limited to delivery orders and a visit to their pop up location at the Atwater Market. Both times, we loved the freshness of the Lobster and overall quality of the food. For our last delivery, we balanced off the order with Ribs and Salmon, both exceeded expectations (they were pricey, so I was happy we were pleased with the preparation). I hear the NDG location is worth a stop by, I'm headed there soon. Will be sure to update my review soon after.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and glad I did. At first feel, it was warm with the dimmed lights and cozy with the soft music. We were two and ordered 4 dishes to share, except for the last one - stay tuned. The calamari were delish, the chowder was okay, the octopus was fab, and my friend had the oysters and said they were great. The amount of food was just perfect. Our waitress was very helpful and polite, which I really appreciated. In all, I enjoyed my experience but thought it was a bit pricey.

Lucille is a decent food experience but I found it off-target on a few things. Location reveals itself as a small modern chic resto and definitely not a dive as per the resto name. Being a small resto, the seating is somewhat limited and more importantly closely packed together. The resto gets pretty busy with a lot of foot traffic. Seat arrangements per table defer from one another and my seating arrangement was one of those slightly uncomfortable tall chairs. It does gets pretty loud in here with the music and other patrons chatting while they enjoy their meal or drinks. I definitely didn't expect that and completely welcomed the quietness once I left the resto. In terms of food I went with their Surf & Turf, something I heard from others and really wanted to try. This dish consists it's a lobster roll with a half rack of ribs and fries. Priced at $36 so I'll say it's pretty pricey. Lobster roll was definitely not lobster tail and I suggest eating it first as the bun gets soggy pretty quickly. Decent overall. The ribs were tender but were somewhat try with a lack of sauce. Fries were good. Overall, a decent plate but at the price-tag, I wouldn't have it again. We also had calamari, it was good but the portion was small. Service was good despite being things being super busy. Booking was online, easy. Paying a bit of a challenge but we got it done. All in all, a decent place if you're in desperate need of seafood. Not necessarily the best location if you want this in Montreal by any means but it's damn well marketed in Montreal so you have to experience it, am I right? Price is pretty expensive for what it is. My friend had a "grilled seafood plate" for over $30 and it barely covered the bottom of the plate. We wanted oysters but at $42 for a dozen, that idea was scrapped. The competition in Montreal provides a better price/value.

I came to Lucille's Oyster Dive to celebrate my birthday. The food was great but our table was placed in the busiest traffic area of the restaurant. We asked to be placed in a different spot but the restaurant was fully booked. Our table was placed right next to the area where the hostess was standing and where people were waiting for their tables. It was extremely uncomfortable because while we were eating, people's bag would be shuffling near our dishes. I do not believe that they should add that table of 2 right in that spot because it was an unpleasant experience. For the food part, I would give it a 4/5. For the month of March, the oysters from PEI are 1$ each. We also ordered the wood-oven chicken and the 2 lobster rolls as mains. The wood-oven chicken was tender and delicious. There was a bit of char on the sides and cooked beautifully. It also came with a metal bowl of guacamole and 2 small tortillas! I was really amazed how good this meal turned out to be! As for the lobster rolls, this dish came with French fries or salad. The taste was pretty good, you can also find big chunks of lobster inside the buns. Overall the experience wasn't that great. I was really disappointed at where we had to sit. The food is very good! I would recommend people to ask for a better seat when reserving over the phone!

This place is a monkland staple and very popular so make sure to make reservations ahead of time! Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some surf and turf. We started off with some $1 oysters which were super fresh and delicious with a variety of sauces. We also had the fried calamari with a delicious tartar sauce. Although the pieces of calamari themselves were very big, the plate itself wasn't so I would call it more as an appetizer/side. We then split the surf and turf combo which comes with one lobster roll, ribs and fries. This plate was definitely worth it and the ribs really surprised me, very juicy and melted in your mouth. This was more than enough food for two hungry adults. Although the food was really great, I did think it was a little on the expensive side for what it was. Service was also quite slow and it took us an hour to get just the oyster. That being said, I would go back any time for the ribs and oysters!

My birthday meal was amazing! We had the seafood stack . Fabulous ... I now love oysters because of them. My seafood bloody Caesar was so perfect . Loved my desert. Can't say enough good things and I hope I'll have my birthday dinner next year etc.. and the one after .

Located in plush, Monkland Village, Lucille's Oyster Dive was an exciting and outstanding find for a perfect night. It's a dive alright- nothing flashy, energy was loud, I cracked up as loud as I wanted to and enjoyed every second. Lucille's warm lighting made the evening calm and really fun. Baseball was playing and Bluegrass set the mood in Montréal's funky spot. My cocktail was strong and, grilled lobster was divine. At one point, I didn't care diddly squat, who was around me because I went deep on that bad boy with both hands and enjoyed the rich taste of my Nova Scotia lobster. In all seriousness, Lucille's definitely a lively spot to be in and has been a return of ours!

We've decided to go to this restaurant for Mother's Day because my mom is on diet and she enjoys seafood more then red meat. Since the restaurant is close to our neighborhood, we decided to give it a try. The oysters are really fresh but 21$ for a half dozen, I think I can find better deals elsewhere. The waitress suggested us to take the special of the day which was the grilled salmon with maple syrup glaze come with mixed salad on the side for 29$. This ended up to be my mom's favorite dish of the night. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the maple syrup just added a bit of caramelized sweetness onto the salmon. My grilled octopus was also amazing. It was cooked perfectly, tender but not tough. The only complain about this restaurant was the price and slow service. Though everything was good, it was way too overpriced. The grilled octopus was 34$ for half portion. In addition, the service was pretty slow. Since I read the reviews ahead and I was worried about the slow service, we got to restaurant by 5:45 to avoid the crowd and we still had to wait for about 40minutes for the dishes. Regardless the long waiting time, staffs are courteous and attentive, and I don't mind to wait a bit longer for quality food. Just be aware of waiting time if you decide to go since they don't take reservations ahead.

Love this place! Service is awesome and the food is delicious! We come to Lucille's for every special occasion. It's our go to place because we are guaranteed a wonderful meal!

first time coming here and the service was terrible. the waitress forgot about us. we asked to have a glass of wine with our dinner. we asked one of the staff member that delivered our food. our waitress didn't come check on us or asked if we needed anything. we waited a really long time for the glasses and had to ask another waiter to grab our glasses off the bar. our meal was almost finished by the time we got our wine. the staff were taking shots behind the bar. Irish car bombs and some other shots. We won't be coming back here. even though the food was really good it was over priced. seems like the staff goes to work to party not to do their jobs.

Usually, I understand that sometimes restaurants may not always offer what the customer was expecting. However, today I felt the need to write to you, because I am very disappointed with the order I received today, and frankly, feel that I was purposefully misled. I have seen Lucille's food truck, and it seemed really popular. I rarely eat out (on average, once every 2-3 months). So today, being in the area, I decided to try out the food truck. I asked the saleslady what I should get, seeing how I am not a big fan of seafood, and she recommended the cheeseburger and fries, saying that she herself really enjoys the cheeseburger. She was very nice and very friendly, and I took her advice. All in all, the cheeseburger (9$) and the fries (5$) came up to 16.10$ (with tip). When I arrived home and excitedly opened my box with the order, I was very taken aback.The cheeseburger is minuscule... I literally took a can and compared the size of the burger to the diameter of the bottom of a soda can. They were the same size, and that is including the bun! The diameter of the patty itself was smaller than the diameter of a soda can, and the thickness was less than the width of a dime. Seeing how the cheeseburger sells for 9$, I thought that common-sense would allow me to expect it to be the size of an average burger. Needless to say, the price of the burger, combined with the recommendation of the saleslady made me feel as if I was misled to believe that the Lucille cheeseburger was worth 9$. It was not. I am sorry to say that I do feel taken advantage of, and I expected more from Lucille. When I sent this same review to the Lucille customer service email, the response I received was the following: "Hi, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. I will speak with the chefs to make sure the size of the burgers is respected off the food truck. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks and have a good weekend," Needless to say, I felt completely dismissed. I am not going to return to Lucille.

I came here for the first time when they had the dollar oyster promo with my family. We were pretty excited to try this spot since my family loves seafood. Good: The oysters were great, they've got some great sauces that pair perfectly with it. The service was pretty friendly, despite how busy it was. Bad: When we ordered got our first 2 dozen oysters for the table, we've noticed that it was missing 4 pieces, so we had to notify the waitress. She told us that she'll add it in on the next 2 dozen round, but when we received the next round, it was still missing so we had to remind them again. The place gets packed really quick, so our table was uncomfortable close to everyone. Even going to the restroom proved to be an obstacle course.I just remember being underwhelmed by that $36 lobster roll and how there was barely any lobster. I don't really even remember much of the food because it simply wasn't outstanding. Bottom line: I couldn't justify how average the food was considering our bill was $200, but I did return again for just the $1 oysters. Aside from that, I don't think I'd want to try anything else on the menu.

There are many places around town that offer $1 oysters. This is not that place, and thank the heavens for that! I ordered 6 oysters to start and was rewarded with a beautiful platter of oysters accompanied by tiny vials of vinegars and sauces that made the molluscs really sing. As a second course I had the half octopus (quadropus?) which was yet another fantastic course. Perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and one of those dishes that sneaks back into your memory, beckoning you to revisit the flavours. So good!! The missus had the clam chowder and enjoyed it, but she was disappointed by the fish and chips. She's a maritimer so her standard is pretty high. Mainlanders like me would probably think that it was fine. Do over? Probably.

While a dinner at Lucille's still has its highlights, Saturday night's visit was disappointing on multiple levels. While the Lucille's on St. Catherine is being renovated, I noticed the branch on Monkland has started taking reservations. I booked a table for 3 at 7:45pm on Saturday night. We get there at 7:40 and every table is packed. The maitre D could barely grunt at us while burying his head in a full sized Apple MacBook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, we're standing in the doorway and nobody is telling us when we will be seated or what the problem is. Some eye contact or even an explanation would have been nice, but Mr. Maitre D was too busy looking important and officious. The only words uttered to us by the staff were "could you move out of the way so we can pass by?" More people started arriving and seemed to be seated before us. After about 8-10 minutes of the silent treatment, I was just about to go check out Taverne Monkland or Local 75 down the street when they called our name and sat the 3 of us at a table that was barely big enough for 2. In fact, the entire night, the doorway of the restaurant was jam packed with people who had to wait to be seated. The waitress informed us that Lucille's was offering oysters for 1$ each the entire month of February. I wasn't planning on getting oysters, but at 12$ for a dozen, what the hell, right? Big mistake. Lucille's should be ashamed of themselves. You get what you pay for. The first oyster I tried to eat wasn't detached from the shell. Of much greater concern however was the fishy and funky taste. Something didn't taste right. My wife and her sister both agreed that something was off. Clearly, Lucille's was serving oysters that they had no business selling. Thank god we didn't get sick. I think I had 3 or 4 oysters. Maybe 1 of them tasted right. We could have been very sick. What's worse, almost every table was ordering a huge platter given the price. If you're wondering why I didn't complain, it's because that's not my style. Yes I know they likely would have replaced the dish or not charged for it. It doesn't change the fact that subpar food is being served in the first place! The restaurant is called Lucille's Oyster Dive after all. You would think that they know their way around an OYSTER! The shrimp cocktail was quite good as was the salmon tartare. I opted for the rib steak which at about 55$ is on the pricey side, but worth it given Lucille's sterling reputation for dry aged beef. Unfortunately, the steak that was served to me was a few steps down from what I had previously ordered at this restaurant. The steak used to be quite thick. This time however, it was cut thin to about half of an inch. This cut is usually reserved for run of the mill delis and diners; not restaurants who claim to be specialists in steak. Yes it was tasty and cooked to my desired medium rare. That said, they had previously broiled it with a crispy and almost sweet outer caramelization. Think Ruth's Chris. This technique was nowhere to be found this time. The "chimichurri" sauce served with the dish tasted downright weird. (Try Tuck Shop for a proper chimichurri. Hint: It's not supposed to be completely soupy and yogurt -like ) Given the small cut of meat, and the pedestrian cooking technique, the price tag on this dish is about 10-15$ overpriced. It was still enjoyable, but I remember being absolutely blown away by their steaks in the past. This steak was a large step down from what they used to serve. Finally, while service was friendly, it was also somewhat lacking. I ordered a Red Stripe beer when I first sat down. As my main course was served, I pointed to my beer and asked the waiter for another. Thirty (30) minutes later, she comes by and says they are out of Red Stripe and would I like something else. I've already eaten my dinner. Of course that didn't stop me from getting a second one, but she should have been back to tell me that in about 3 minutes, not 30. When Lucille's first came onto the scene in Montreal it was a huge success. It's still completely packed, but from my perspective, it's slipping. You cannot cut corners and expect to get away with it in the longterm. Moreover, you cannot call yourself an Oyster Dive and serve rotting, old, decrepit oysters no matter what you are charging. It's a matter of public health.

First off, Lucille's recently moved a block down from its original spot. Which I was honestly bummed about, cause I was kinda looking forward to experiencing a more divey, been-around-for-a-long-time kinda seafood joint, with ship steering wheels and fishing net decor, maybe some black-and-white photos of old bearded fishermen standing next to 7-foot tunas. But alas, no such luck. The new location, while definitely more modern, does try to maintain some of that old feel. Wood paneling, some Harley engines hanging up on the wall, a ship hull overlooking the larger part of the dining room. But the refrigerated glass room filled with dry-aging beef brings us back to 2017. I dropped by with my partner for a quick oyster fix. And honestly, that was all we could probably afford. Didn't realize how expensive it was going to be. Again, my visions of a seafood dive thwarted. That said, the oysters were amazing. Also managed to budget some fries and grilled veggies to balance out our meal, and both were quite exceptional for what they were. Would I come here again? Maybe for that octopus. But otherwise, I think the better value would be to split a box of oysters with a couple homies and shuck em ourselves. I never thought of oysters as a fine dining kind of cuisine anyways.

Restaurant with atmosphere on Monkland street. They leave bottles of water on the table. I came with a group of 15. The service was slow and disorganized but maybe due to the large group. I got the fish tacos for the appetizer. It was really good. They ran out of shrimp zoodles which is what I wanted to get as a main. Instead I got another appetizer which is the tuna poke. It was very small and spicy. And it came on a friend crispy thing. I didn't like it. A friend got something that looked like chicken tacos. She said it was good and she asked for it not to be spicy. They let you bring in a cake from outside. I would give this place another try.

Lucille's is the perfect for date night. Cozy, small restaurant located on Monkland. Great low volume background music, warm and cozy interiors. The food; it's great, average portion size. A dozen oysters over conversation, the steak was cooked to perfection! Highly recommended if you're looking for a date night spot! :)

Food was decent. There was a power outage and they told us to leave but they seated 2 other girls. It was my birthday too and the lady on the phone who checked on my reservation still told me to come despite the outrage. We waited 30 minutes for the lights to come back. Then we were seated. They could've seated us until the lights came back like they did to the other two girls. Was looking forward to my reservation here. Sad. For the price , horrible customer services

seriously i did not have any expectation for this place. i had lobster rolls in Nova Scotia and they were delicious!! never tried in Montreal though. but oh my was it good!!!! ofc it is expensive (23$CAD for a roll and fries) but it's lobster right? everybody was friendly and nice, place is beautiful, and they have red stripe!! how nice for a change

Fancy little gem on Monkland street. It's super busy but not over the top crowded like their other dive bar in downtown. The service is wonderful. Beautiful waitresses dressed very well and enthusiastic to please all of your requests and hunger! They have wonderful cocktails and fine wine selections to chose from. I went for their white zinfandel sangria and their grilled octopus. My friend had their snow crab. He was a little disappointed with the size since he usually gets the alaskan king crab from the keg white is way bigger and easier to crack open as it is already pre cut for you and easy to munch on hehe. However, I Was super satisfied ! I don't think i've had better octopus anywhere else and whenever I feel like having octopus this is my first option! I am super delighted with their outmost freshness and service you will not leave here disappointed! If you are looking for faster service I would recommend to dine at the bar where they serve the oysters quicker and build a more personal relationship with you ! Overall, the ambiance, food and service was amazing and I can't complain ! A++ definitely will be back yummmyy

So I'll start by saying I'm happy to have a new place to go when visiting NDG friends. I like oysters a lot, and wine outside, and crazy Ceasar cocktails with crab legs poking out of them, and very friendly knowledgeable charming service. Lucille has all of these things in spades and these are great ways to win my heart. Uncrowded on a weekday 5a7, the patio bakes in the sun for the first hourish but then the shade hits and the spot becomes more comfortable, and the crowds come sauntering in. The inside is cool, literally and figuratively, though walking sort of through the kitchen to get to the confusingly signaged washrooms is perplexing and of dubious hygiene. My biggest gripe: the oysters were overpriced and 3/4 of the ones I tried had shell in them. I don't mind paying for perfect, but this wasn't it. I had a lovely time anyway, but man, nothing sticks in my craw like grit in an oyster.

Look I love Lucille's but they need to have better drink specials drink are way overpriced. And the dollar oysters are hot and miss on quality. But overall great vibe and pretty amazing dishes

Pricy for sure. Not for the faint of Pocket But extremely nice, sea food was flavourful. Grilled Octopus was on point, Lobster rolls are tasty, oyster fresh and wine selection was good. Most definitely will return.

Casual urban chic. Fish & chips likely the best in Mtl. Surf & turf (lobster roll & ribs) excellent. $80 for 2 w/ no drinks.

I've been a handful of times but this time I was really not impressed. We ended up going because we were having a hard time finding a resto close by that wasn't going to close at 11 pm and also I hadn't been to the new location on monkland yet. I had the surf and turf which is usually a favorite of mine but the lobster roll was small and soggy. So sad. It used to be way better!! WHAT HAPPENED to this place!?!! Also my ribs were overcooked. My boyfriend's piece was juicier and more fatty than mine so I had some of his because mine was dry. I liked the sweet potato fries better than the regular fries and I never say this because I usually find sweet potato fries are too sweet for what I feel should be salty. I had the Caesar and it came with two big shrimps, two oysters and one clam. I gave my bf the clam (Hahaha) because I'm not a fan of clams and he did not like it. The oysters and shrimp were good though and I enjoyed the Caesar. I'm really hoping this place was just having an off night. :(

We went to the location on monkland, I was craving a lobster roll and when you crave lobster you think of this place! .. so I'll start off by saying that we ordered calamari, beef tartare & lobster roll. The calamari was out of this world! Honestly the best God dam calamari I ever had!! The beef tartare was another story.. it was a beautiful way to present a "beef tartare" however not for this type of restaurant! I felt like I was a judge on master chef which you think is a compliment for this dish.. which in all honesty it was really beautiful but I wanted something that I'll be comfortable to eat and enjoy digging into. Every element in that dish was placed perfectly. If I went to a more of elaborate set style restaurant it would make sense, but not for lucilles in my opinion they can totaly make this dish rustic and more in the flow of the rest of the menu. The lobster roll was all the yumms needed! And ofcourse the service was amazing as always

We went to eat oysters and seafood. Too pricey for the quality that you get. The portion size of the main dish is small yet loaded with fries to fill your appetite. The servers are not helpful as they are trained not to customise your dish. Highly kid unfriendly place. One thing bothered me the most was that there was class system amongst the servers. The order taker just took the orders and collected the tips. The food serving and clearing was done by hardworking associates who did not get any rewards. The waitress treated them in a derogatory way. Coming back to the food - extremely fried non tasting food. Oysters were too small and waitress had no knowledge about the origin. They should learn from Pearl Diver in Toronto.

My husband and I visited Lucille's for dinner one evening and noticed that while the food tasted fine, the portions of food weren't as plentiful for the price as other seafood restaurants of this class. The most disappointing part of our experience was the service. Another customer came in who was some sort of celebrity as many people were coming to their table to serve and speak with them. Some patrons were taking photos. Our server ignored our table the entire rest of our time there. We needed things and no one came by to help. When it came time to pay, we had to get up ask someone for the bill. We waited 30 minutes for someone to come back with a bill (I kid you not, we watched the time!). We explained to that server the issue we had with our previous server while we were paying. Our concerns were brushed off and then we were told that we must add a tip of a certain amount onto our payment. We explained again that our negative experience with our server was not deserving of a tip and we were shocked that she even suggested that. No one made it right for us. We would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Would have given Lucille's 4 stars as the seafood was fresh and tender but the prices are frankly ridiculous. This is Monkland Village not Manhattan. Mixed grilled seafood 32$ included exactly 4 mussels, 3 pieces of calamari, two shrimps and two to three slices of chorizo. Came with a side of fries but it was the size of an appetizer. Complained to staff and they said sorry the chef weighed it out. Meaning they put what 100 200 grams of seafood? You can buy a whole bag of mussels for less than 10 dollars at the grocery store. Just chuck in some cheap whitefish but don't call yourself a seafood place then refuse to provide more than a teaspoon of seafood to your guests. If you can't make money at those prices then you are doing something seriously wrong. If you like oysters go to some buck a shuck place . 42$ for one dozen. I hope they were harvested by hand by a mermaid!

Came to dine with my best friend from school last summer. Great caring service, ample portions, the steak is the best!

Overall great experience. I highly recommend the Surf n Turf (for big appetites), which comes with a lobster roll, baby back ribs, and fries, as well as the cheesecake (so creamy!). Service is very friendly, the waiters are always kind and your water glass is always filled. The interior is very dim but it's a nice vibe. A bit pricey though: Surf n Turf was 36$, fried calamari starter (very small) was 18$, cheesecake was 10$. Still, I would recommend this restaurant if you're not on a budget!

Traveling to Montreal on business. Appreciated the vibe at Lucille's. Nice bar with all the seafood and none of the uptight!

This is our favorite go to restaurant. Everything is good on the menu especially the oysters, plank salmon and tuna poke bowl. It is a bit pricey, crowded and loud and I'm sorry they started taking reservations so we can't just drop in...but its still really good. Suzanne from Westmount

Don't believe the photo's of the lobster roll! That was the whole reason I went there with my family and we got two thin toasted buns with at least half of what is on the photos. It was tasty but not worth the money. Don't like to give bad reviews on resto's but if they were what we saw on here I would have been very satisfied...Sorry we feel duped. Clams were good but not great. Fries were ok. Ribs were tasty and obviously were prepared with an authentic smoke style.
