    Our first time at Lucky’s and based on today’s dinning experience it won’t be our last. Reservations were easy to make and we were warmly greeted upon arrival by both the friendly hostess and engaging maitre-d. Seated at a nice table and immediately served water & just warmed bread with soften butter. Our easily shareable appetizer (burrata & tomato) was delicious and the Bellini added a very festive ambience. Our entrees were perfectly cooked (smoked salmon Benedict & filet mignon sandwich) and tasty. Service was both friendly attentive. We’ll be back soon!

    Atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server was good with the exception that she/they forgot to bring our salad. We’re not sure if that was a slip up by the waitress or the kitchen?  Steak was super tender. Asparagus were large and delicious.  The escargot were delicious, however, one was missing so we got five instead of six and they were very tiny for the price.

    A triumphant return for us to Lucky’s that we’ve been looking forward to for months: it did not disappoint. Food was better than I remember, (& I remember it being spectacular), & the service was also excellent. I had the strip steak & my wife had the Wednesday special filet mignon stroganoff. Rounded our meal off with a glass of superb Tokaji making it a superb evening all round.

    My 86 year old friend got sick dining with you on 3/11/25. She's a local and she won't be back.

    Our experience at Luckys was great. The food and atmosphere were stellar! Our friendly busser, Diego, was extremely helpful and ensured we had a fantastic dining experience. Definitely will be back.
