Wanted to go to a steakhouse that wasn't some major franchise but not so fancy it would break the bank.
The food here was actually pretty good but not the best we've had. However, unlike other reviews here I did not think it was overpriced. They are not cheap but offered prices that were expected for the quality and selection.
Their plating was a 4.5/5. Each meal was well presented and done with care. Flavour wise, we had the meatball as an appetizer and it was pretty good. The rib eye I got was a little on the salty side but not overly salty. It sat on mashed potatoes with some vegetables

Been here a handful of times now and it has always been sensational.
The servers are friendly and professional. The management is caring and competent.
The food is always perfect and the menu truly has something for everyone. I have had the trout almost every time I visit because the flavour from the combination of ingredients is just unbelievably delicious. The server (or management) always has an informed opinion on a great wine pairing - have yet to be disappointed.
I love that when we dine with our children, we have always felt incredibly welcome when walking in the door. (You'd

This was my first time visiting this restaurant and it probably won't be my last time.
The restaurant is split into two areas: 1. Lounge area: slightly dark but perfect if you want to drink some scotch; and 2. Atrium area: feels like you're dining in the garden - large windows that face a green area. I'd recommend requesting to be seated in the second area - it'd be an ideal place for a romantic date.
Service was great. The server was extremely attentive and always anticipated what I needed.

First time at this restaurant and it was decent but not great.
Atmosphere is fantastic with open kitchen concept and the staff were super friendly. Enjoyed the choice of still water or sparkling at no cost.
Menu choice and drink selection is above average with lots of variety.
Shared Pot stickers (4 pieces?? but delicious) and Caesar Salad (was well made and not over dressed) Main entree was 10 oz NY Strip loin with vegetables and Yam fries (excellent).
Dessert was the chocolate molten with ice cream but was told 15 minutes to cook and was underwhelming which kept it from 4 stars.

Amazing food! Oh my gosh! This place has mouth watering everything. From the butternut squash soup I started with to the lobster tail meal to my hubby's ribeye steak dinner- we loved it all. The drinks were delicious too.
The service was slowwww, so make sure you have lots of time...but our server was amazing. She apologized for coming to us late and paid for the first round of drinks.
I was so happy with this place. The rustic but cozy interior make you feel like you're all the way in the mountains too.
Very well done people of La Villa.

We chose this place for our wedding anniversary. First impression when we entered was that it had a nice ambiance. The menu choices were an excellent variety offering several fish and steak cuts as well as other choices you'd only expect at a higher end restaurant. The wine choices were excellent and they even had our favourite wine.
So why the single star?
We felt quite rushed from the moment we sat down. We had barely even had a chance to look at the menu when we were asked twice if we were ready to order and pick our drink choices.
My wife chose the Caesar salad to start and I chose

Have been to LeVilla twice. Once a couple years ago for a friend's birthday, and once last week for an anniversary dinner. The food is tasty, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is pleasant. If you want a solid, consistent, meal with right-sized portions, then LeVilla is for you.
We dined at 6 pm, so lots of 50+ folks and grey hairs, so I will assume that the straightforward menu choices and traditional feel is attractive to this age group. If you are looking for innovative, trendy dining, you won't find it here.
Atmosphere 4/10 (no special view, etc.)
Service 6/10 (a bit slow

This is for the 1800 4 st SW location, since I cant find it on Yelp, and will apply to them all, as it's another 'branch' of the same restaurant.
Okay, just googled it. The one on the address above has gone out of business this month, or, at very least, have left the building (rented out by Strategic Corp)
Frankly, this chain was never even in the running, as was knocked out of contention by Calgary's odd restaurant habit of ambitious pricing. I'm only getting around to reviewing the above location now, but around $80 for a 2 course steak meal!? Come on!

We have been here few times already; they can accommodate larger group of people and kids friendly too; the food is just perfect, service is outstanding, atmosphere is great; it is just on the higher side for the pricing but you will get what you pay for; the food quality had always been the same; desserts are fantastic; will definitely recommend and will repeat.

It was good. The service was good. Tables alittle too close for comfort. Was it value for the money? No. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I expect something special or at least unusual when I have to pay more than $30 for an entree but I'm not impressed when it's for a pork chop potatoes and carrots. It's too safe a menu for the price.

Le Villa is a class restaurant in SW Calgary, the food is great and best of all it's big enough to be comfortable for big groups.
It's also romantic and chic enough for a date night.
Very cozy, and classy environment, the service was good, the staff were clearly professional and
It's not cheap but worth every penny!

I came here on a Sunday night with my parents. Even Sunday night, the earliest reservation we could get was 8pm because the place was PACKED!
Had the set dinner and all three of us were pleasantly surprised:
Starter: Clam Chowder or Lobster Bisque
Both were excellent. Lobster Bisque was traditional creamy, and heavy, and a very generous portion. Clam Chowder was full of clams and chunky potatoes.
Second: Coquille St. Jacques or Thai Shrimp
BOTH great again! The Coquille St. Jacques was very creamy and filling. Thai Shrimp was super crunchy and very spicy and just wonderfully prepared

We've been to Levilla a few times and always enjoy everything about the place. The food is very good and the atmosphere enhances the whole experience. The lamb is so good that I just can't seem to talk myself into ordering anything else but my husband always enjoys his choice, which is usually a steak. Appetizers never disappoint either.
Update - we went to Levilla for lunch yesterday (Feb. 11/10) and left the restaurant totally full and happy. Now, if you're looking for an inexpensive lunch, this is not the place to go. If you're looking to get what you pay for then
