Wonderful location and atmosphere. The food was fantastic and so was the service. We had a wonderful time and prices were very reasonable.

As usual, the dinner and service was good and the California cousin even enjoyed the ambiance and food

We were served by Allison and she was awesome! The steaks were cooked perfectly, and the prawns were delicious. And don’t skip the crème brûlée! We’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place to anyone.

We ordered the 10oz ribeye steak and the steak was very thin. I'd much rather have preferred a small thicker steak. It was also a little over cooked.

Concerns about service standards:
We used to frequent Le Villa Restaurant regularly (mainly for lunch because it's so close to home for us and it was a quick and atmospheric fine-dining lunch experience!), but we eventually stopped coming because we found the dress attire of some staff members to be unprofessional and more-than revealing. After taking quite the break, we we're persuaded by our friends to return and we hoped that the evening staff would be held to a higher standard.
Regrettably, we encountered similar issues. The stand-in manager who was overseeing things this visit, did not maintain professional standards. She constantly blamed issues with the food coming out late or incorrect on the kitchen or other serving staff (not sure why people other than our server should be handling our food regardless). Her hair was left down and she frequently touched it, raising obvious hygiene concerns. Lastly, she included gratuity on our tab without telling us before, only letting us know after my friend's husband asked about it. Ultimately, the new manager's overall appearance and behavior did not align with the fine-dining atmosphere that we once enjoyed.
We honestly received better service and more professionalism from The Keg, The Grey Eagle, or even Boston Pizza (if you can believe that!) the last times we were there.
This is such a shame as we've really loved the food here! The service and interaction with staff is the only reason we come out... We will be selling our gift card or using it on pick-up orders until it is gone and taking our business elsewhere.

One of the best meals I have had in 2025! The ribeye steak was perfectly cooked and the accompanying sides were wonderful. Definitely will be back again.

Our Server Allan took great care of us! Rick has an amazing restaurant! Great food! Fabulous staff!
Reunion of colleagues and friends; went early to get a quiet table (successfully); varied menu although surprised they did not cater to gluten free diets; restaurant filled up quickly but we weren't rushed to vacate table. No complaints from this group!!

Great service and excellent food make this one of our top 5 in the city. Staff especially Monique are the best. Always atentive and friendly.

The atmosphere was relaxed and the noise level was not really noticed. Our server was wonderful, had a fun attitude and looked after us very well without being a nuisance. The appetizers were a bit disappointing in the quantity for the price, however, were excellent in flavours. Our group enjoyed the Steelhead Trout, Duck Breast, Salmon Filet and Seafood Bucantini. The main meal dishes all presented very well, were filling and the flavours were excellent! The recipes were all just a little different in combining flavours that is quite unique from regular fare. I enjoyed the Steelhead Trout with a jumbo scallop and lobster risotto. The citrus hollandaise flavours and arugla were incredible! There was no room for desert, however, the birthday person was presented with a substantial piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler attached. Nice touch! Great cake! We will be back for the atmosphere and the really good food with a twist from regular.

The restaurant is located in a very quaint location. From the outside it looks rather small. Once you open the door and go inside, one will find it to be very spacious and welcoming. The staff were friendly and helpful. Since there was some extra tables, they offered to move us to a bigger table. We decided to stay at the comfortable table we already had. The server Amanda (?) was terrific. The food was perfect. Perfectly seasoned. Perfect temperature. The presentation of our meal top-notch! Dessert was the dragonfruit crème brûlée. Excellent and extremely tasty.
