    Bartender handled multiple execution specific beverages really well. Great presentation. Menu is excellent and service was quick and responsive. Minor quibble was on execution of food. Lions mane cakes just took on a lot of salt. Nothing major. I like what this place is doing.

    Lucky just wasn’t up to the Restaurant Week pace. Our server was fine; attentive and personable. First course (like a mini charcuterie) was absolutely fantastic. Next, the oysters were perfectly fresh and delicious.. (we wished there had been 6, not 4). But we waited over 35 minutes for the next course, and I must say, that was excessive. Their brussels sprouts are so delicious, it almost made up for the lateness. But by that time, we were pretty frustrated. When the fried chicken arrived, it was overcooked. So we left unhappy. Also no dessert offered for restaurant week menu. :(
