Restaurant Calvi

CA$100+

This place is okay, but it's not authentic. The octopus was really good, but very small portion. The calamari was okay, nothing special, there was no tentacles. The truffle pasta was okay also and the risotto dish came with a big piece of Osso bucco, was not expecting to have a big piece of Osso bucco, I thought it would be bone off. But I can say that the creme brulee was really good The service was actually amazing, the waiter was really friendly. I had ordered an espresso martini with my dessert but they had forgotten to put khalua in it and it taste horrible, when I told the waiter about it he was doubting me on why I wanted to return the drink back but then he realized that it was the khalua that was missing in the drink, he brought me khalua in a glass so I can mix it in my drink. This place seemed to be more of a place for groups, they had private rooms. If you are celebrating a birthday party or a big get together in Laval with Italian type of food, I think it's a good choice.

Went on a weekday evening, hardly anyone there but yet the service was lacking. Caesar salad was made with green lettuce instead of romaine. Became very soggy. Plates did not look nice. Steak was very hard to chew. Where was the veggies in the shrimp and veggies dish? Cold and tough shrimp. And the ravioli was just ok. I expected so much more from this restaurant. I was not impressed at all. Did not finish plates. Sprinkling tomatoes does not make a plate look nice..

CA$60–70

Just Avoid this place. The restaurant was empty, The manager name Adil welcomed us. However, he didn’t seems to happy, since we were with 2 kids. Therefore, he gave us a table in an isolated room, where it was very hot. As soon as we wanted to sit, he even closed the door. It was 42 degrees Celsius outside. I asked him “is the air conditioning working in that room, he told me yes”. Which was not true. Therefore we decided to leave and we came to Sterling Steakhouse right next door. They were very nice and accommodating and helpful with the kids. Mr. Adil I hope you have kids and if you do, I hope no one’s treats you like how you treated us.

Worst service EVER .. blaming it on « Covid » Is not an excuse! Can’t even tell you who was the waiter except he had black hair serving front portion of the restaurant! Completely ignoring us .. table of 6 … acting like he dosent here us … the service was difficult from the first minutes in and the Fkn 4 hours after !! It was my birthday.,impossible to eat the « fish » he recommended after I tried to order the « seabass » .. I returned the dam fish for the « kitchen »to return the same fish but all cut up … uncooked 🤨 waiter dint give a fly that I ate or not until I requested the bill and started to talk load how horrible the waiter was and how « he « Wasn’t looking even to my face … well He looked at me and said «  I’m here now « So I gave him my $.50 cents and told him never again I will come !!! Bill came … full .. i was beyond insulted … after 10 minutes.. he came back with a corrected bill .. this was my birthday supper !! Ruin by the Calvi service

The service was pretty bad. We found a bug in one of our glasses and after removing the insect, our server tried to give us the same glass of wine since the ''wine was still drinkable''. The food was good but the service was very off putting.

We were a group of 14 in one of their beautiful private rooms. Our server, Jessica, what is absolutely outstanding. Smiling, fluently, bilingual, and very attentive to all of our needs. The food was exceptional and served hot. Calvary never disappoints.

Great service (!!) but the food and ambiance here are absolutely nothing to write home about. The food was mediocre and as such acceptable, but the overall experience feels tired and dated. I understand that not every place wants to be trendy, but Calvi lacks a sense of pride.
