    We've visited multiple times ad have always enjoyed the restaurant. We are warmly greeted as return customers and are fortunate to get a seat at the bar. Enjoy sitting there because it's like dinner and a show. This visit we tried the lobster toast and i was excellent. My wife and I shared the appetizer and it was just right for two without ruining dinner. Pork shanks were on the menu and we immediately knew that's what we wanted. Had it on a previous visit and thoroughly enjoyed them. This time was no different. Pork was tender, fell off the bone, and had a delightful taste. The peas and greens were very complimentary. Couldn't finish that so got a "to go" box and my wife made an excellent soup with the leftovers the next day. As usual, the service and drinks were excellent. Lucky's has a well-stocked bar and the bartenders are knowledgeable and professional. Looking around patrons were engaged in lively conversation and seemed to be enjoying themselves. We look forward to returning soon.

    Our server we excellent. Apps were fantastic - server recommended the fried green tomatoes and the brussels, both of which didn’t it disappoint! One of us had the steak - good flavor, cooked correctly but it was terribly tough. I think it was just a bad cut of meat, nothing that the restaurant did. Other entree was the black cod with orzo which was amazing. Will definitely be back!

    We had a phenomenal meal at table 50. Every dish was delicious. We had the mussels for an appetizer the tuna and the buttermilk chicken were our entrées. Cocktails were also good, I especially liked the pink martini. Our server was attentive and was always right there if we needed anything. Noise level was good. We had people on either side of us and all we didn’t have to yell to be heard, we also felt like we were able to have a private conversation.
