Loved the honey pomegranate cosmo, but could only have one, because they ran out of pomegranate. The scallops & the ribs were both excellent, and beautifully presented. Bang Bang shrimp appetizer was yummy.

Now I know why it takes months to get a table here! My husband and I lucked out in getting a last minute reservation - but you have to be quick! The drinks were perfectly made, food was superb and the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Thomas, was top-notch. He was attentive (without being pushy or overbearing) and gave great recommendations (which we were so happy we listened to) for our main entrees and even drinks. Will 100% make the 45 minute drive out to Lucia's again, preferably sooner than later!

The food was absolutely delicious. Service was excellent and timely. The restaurant fills up very fast and we were seated in the bar area by the window which was quite busy/loud. The back bar area is not as noisy if that’s a concern.

The food was excellent. We had a great waiter named Thomas who helped with our selections. We lucked out getting a great table in the far corner by the window. We had an early dinner so it was quiet when we first sat down but got loud as it filled in. The food is high quality but some of the prices are a bit over the top. For example to add a lobster tail to any dish is $89. We will go back for a special occasion.
