L'academie Pointe-claire

Went here as a couple for dinner on a Sunday night and it’s quite hard to describe the experience adequately because it really was inconsistent. The building itself is decorated nicely and the service was above average. Not excellent, but certainly solid and polite. The starters we both had were nice but not exceptional. My wife followed with the duck breast and it was lovely, and cooked medium just how she likes it. The vegetables could have been warmer, though. I chose the veal with two-pepper cognac sauce and I received three slices of brown meat that didn’t taste of anything covered in a congealed, thick sauce that didn’t look appetizing but actually tasted pretty nice. I can only think that both meals had sat under a heat lamp while the duck breast was finished. The desserts are very clearly mass-catered and of about the same standard as any supermarket. So really, some good, some bad and so I can only average out with a mid-range score. Probably won’t return, however, as there are a lot of better options locally.

We went to the west island location on May 16th 2023. We ordered a Cesar salad (not fresh, from the fridge and old rusty salad at 12$ each) (It was not a good sign). We then ordered the surf and turf, the shrimp were good, the lobster tail was ok, but the filet was over cooked, warm (not hot) and we both couldn't eat it. ... it was terrible. We mentioned this to the waiter and asked if the manager was aware... seems they didn't care, brought us the bill and we spent 200 bucks and left hungry and disappointed. IT WAS BAD....

We went for lunch. One lady ordered mussels. She sad that they were incredible. One lady orders steak. When the steak was overcooked, a new piece of steak came out very quickly. One lady ordered gnocchi, which was delicious with a very generous portion. The dessert cakes were light yet delicious. Nico our server was very professional yet helpful. He really knew the menu. We had White glove treatment. Nico even came to open the door as we were leaving. We will return for celebratory lunches.

We visited on Easter Sunday and the restaurant was completely packed with large groups. This place accommodates close to 300 people so it can get quite loud at times.Overall the food was delicious from appetizer to my main meal. We had the Caesar salad and fried calamari to start and I ordered the Veal Parmigiana as my main meal. The service was amazing, speedy and efficient.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu availableParking: Large parking available in outdoor strip mall

Onion soup lacks taste. Chicken parmigiana was a bit dry.
