Lucille's Oyster Dive — Restaurant in Montreal

Boy Oh Boy.... what a dud.... We showed up pumped to our reservation on a Sunday hoping to feast on amazing fresh seafood in a cool ambiance.

We had read from other reviewers that this place wasn’t worth its price and makes incomprehensible mistakes such as using cheap grocery store bacon bits or serving you a fanned piece of iceberg lettuce as a salad but decided to go anyway and make up our own minds.

We started the evening with 15$ drinks hoping for some amazing flavours. Nope, anyone reading this review can do better at home. We also had to remind the staff twice to bring our second round of drinks as it was never delivered. Then we got slack for reminding them.

Starting with the appetizers, we tried the fish tacos (18$) and some fried calamari (18$). Portion wise, this was a joke for both... Anyone has better fish tacos around Monkland for less and as for the calamari, let’s just say we expected more freshness from a seafood restaurant.

Then came the main courses. We ordered the surf and turf, or shall we say, prepackaged boiled up ribs and with tiny and super chewy lobster roll for 36$.

We also had the steak and prawns. The meat was ok but the prawns were chewy and the taste was off. This was also served iceberg lettuce (lazily chopped into a quarter wedge) for 32$. We had the fish and chips, also tasteless and the worse meal of all, the Asian style salmon tartare, served with shrimp chips you can find in an Asian grocery store for 1,25$. This was also served with the lacklustre iceberg lettuce wedge for... drumroll, 25$...

This would perhaps be acceptable at a place like Scores. But with prices rivalling Joe Beef, Bremner, Garde-Manger, etc., we were a expecting a level of quality that simply wasn’t there.

How’s this place still open or worst yet, expand to other locations is beyond incomprehensible...

Shame on everyone involved with this establishment or its brand. Pure garbage at the...

We had a reservation for 10 people... we called to say we were late and they said we will try to hold the table ,but we might have to wait, which was fine with us..... worst ever!!! Didn't even get to eat.... after waiting for a table for 10, 7 adults and 3 children, 6 adults went to the bar to have a drink while we wait, it's already been an hour of waiting...which was fine.... We ordered drinks and a bottle of wine.. 10min. after, we were told you cannot sit at the bar anymore we have people here who want your seats to eat... I explained we are waiting for our table.. they told us very rudely" this is not a bar" and you can take your bottle of wine and drinks and wait outside!! We were dumbfounded!! I asked for the manager and this extremely rude person by the name of Christine came and started yelling at me and our group to go wait outside calling us names, it was unbelievably shocking...I've worked in restaurants in my younger years and frequent restaurants a lot with my partner in all corners of the world and have NEVER experienced something or someone so rude!!! We were celebrating our granddaughter's graduation.... felt very bad for her to witness an employe out of control... screaming at the top of her lungs, waving her hands in my face.. and then to top it off her boyfriend who works in the kitchen jumped out, towards us and said "don't talk to my girlfriend like that"... It was quite laughable and very unprofessional.... We heard so many good things about the restaurant and we're looking forward to enjoying a pleasant evening, that unfortunately turned into a bit of a nightmare... Oh well.... we still had a great evening and enjoyed a great dinner a few doors down.. a cute pizza place that was very happy to have us!! Great pizza and great service!! It...
