I stopped by LeVilla Chophouse while in Calgary a week ago and decided to try it out since there was a Groupon for it. The food was alright, the ambience was awesome, but the waitress we had was RUDE and I had to pay for HER MISTAKE!!!
In terms of ambience, it was super chic and modern and I was quite impressed when I first walked in because it was a very nice place with large booths great for larger parties. Such a cute place! On top of that, they provided validated parking, which was a definite plus!
We walked in around 2 pm and the place was nearly empty except one other table. We ordered the lobster bisque, stuffed meatballs, lobster mac and cheese, and the seafood club. While ordering, my friend was debating between getting soup or fries as a side, and I told him that because we were getting lobster bisque to start, that he should get the fries instead. So when the appetizers came out, the waitress presented us with two bowls of soup and the meatballs. I thought it was a bit strange that they brought the soup out in two bowls, but assumed that she had just brought two because she knew we were sharing, so she brought it out in two separate plates. She ended up charging us for two bowls of soup instead of just one. When I told her that I never ordered two bowls, and I thought it was just one serving split into two bowls, she was super rude and told me in a snobby voice "that's what you ordered. It's $10 a bowl". I replied that I wasn't aware that we ordered 2 bowls, and she replied "well that's what you said". It was incredibly rude, I ended up paying the extra $10, and I regret tipping her anything.
In terms of food, the lobster bisque had real chunks of lobster in it, which impressed me. However, it tasted a bit too fishy - and I am a person that loves lobster and seafood! The stuffed meatballs were actually quite delicious, and I would recommend them to others! My lobster mac and cheese was just average. There was a half of a tail of lobster, which was impressive, but the mac and cheese on its own was incredibly disappointing. Not cheesy and somewhat dry. My boyfriend's seafood club was tasty and full of seafood.
Le Villa definitely had potential, but with the rude waitress, I couldn't justify giving the restaurant a higher rating. However, I think if there hadn't been that confusion or if the waitress would have handled it better, I might recommend giving this place a try!
