I ordered a medium-well steak and it came out exactly as I ordered and the steak was unbelievably tender and juicy . Others ordered medium-rare steak and they came out exactly as it should and with no blood. Usually restaurants which can't cook steak would leave you with a pool of blood on the plate. LeVilla had left the steak to rest just enough time so that there was no blood when you cut into the meat while maintaining the medium rare status. Perfect. The lobster bisque was just divine. It was packed with flavor, rich and creamy but not too creamy as to block your arteries.This restaurant is just a hidden gem. A definitely must go for Calgarians and tourists alike.The only thing I would suggest is to prep the restaurant a little earlier - when it opened for lunch, we found the staff still moping the floor - making the place very slippery and dangerous.

The only complaint is I ordered it as the chef suggested, medium rare, but it was not cooked evenly throughout. One side was medium, and the other side was rare. It still tasted great so I did not complain. My coworker ordered the same thing and he said his was cooked evenly.

We happened across this place and have been really impressed by the quality of the service, food, drink and atmosphere in this place. We have just arrived back from yet another incredible meal in Le Villa, and just had to review it. We were served tonight by a very experienced, pleasant and knowledgeable server. She was extremely helpful and made excellent recommendations. We found the selection of wines and cocktails to be very varied and excellent in their variety and range. The atmosphere is sophisiated yet realaxed and not over stuffy. The menu itself provides choice for a variety of palates and tastes. For starters we ordered the baked Camembert and lamb cutlets. Both of the starters were impeccable in taste, presentation and value. Our mains included the trout and beef fillet. The trout was served with scallops, lobster risotto and a salad. The whole dish was cooked to perfection and impeccably seasoned. Despite the portion itself being quite substantial, it was light and not at all heavy. We finished the meal with a home made creme brulee, which like the rest of the meal was incredible.We were informed that all the deserts on the menu were home made, so suffice to say it was difficult one! We would highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.

I wish I lived closer to this location so I could buy a sub more often. The store is a bit older than locations in the GTA, but then again, it's not in the GTA. read more I wish I lived closer to this location so I could buy a sub more often.

I seriously think they should consider selling their fresh bread on its own.
