Very bad choice, after ordering it took the waiter 1h30 to come back and tell us they have no more of what 2 people ordered, the soup I had was a creme of asparagus... I would rather call it the water they boiled it in with salt, my chicken was over, over cooked they had to put a lot of sauce over it to hide that. The owner was asked for by us a couple of times, even if the restaurant was not full he ignored us.
A restaurant should always take care of its clients and I don't understand how badly they don't care, any other restaurant would of been better.
toujours un bon choix que l Académie, tout y est bon,,,,la popularité du resto fait en sorte qu il y a beaucoup de monde, ce qui rend parfois l ambiance lourd...malgré cela vous ne serez jamais décu du rapport qualité prix du resto
Before my awful experience at L'Académie restaurant in Laval last night, I'd been to two L'Académie restaurants in Montreal (the one on Crescent Street and the one on St. Denis). I had generally been satisfied with the level of service, and the quality of food. My experience in Laval was the complete opposite...
Our orders were taken about half an hour after we arrived by a waiter who rushed off without letting us order drinks, and we never saw him again. Not a good way to start..
The first course was delivered by a new waitress about half an hour later. Normally when I'm spending $200 on a meal for four people, the waiter/waitress doesn't have to ask who ordered what. It's one of those subtle distinguishing features of a really classy restaurant.
The second (main) course came out about 45 minutes later. One person who ordered salmon got sole instead. The linguini with pesto wasn't cooked enough (and I mean still tough, not al dente). I ordered a shrimp plate with garlic cream sauce and it was awful... The shrimp were tough and not properly peeled (still had the legs and chunks of shell on). The sauce was disgusting.. The garlic was burnt so it was very bitter and the cream had curdled.. It was just terrible.
About 45 minutes after we had finished eating, a third waiter came over and apologized that they had forgotten about us. He tried to clear the table and dropped food and cutlery on me in the process.
This was such a disappointing experience. When considering this restaurant I looked for reviews online and unfortunately found none. This is why I spent twenty minutes writing this review - to warn you! If you are looking for a nice restaurant with good food and great service, I suggest you look elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anybody.
