Went to ritual house when I was pregnant for a birthday dinner and was dying to go back. It did not disappoint. The drinks were yummy and the food is mouthwatering. The orchard flatbread is one of my faves, and the halibut was to die for. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to go back.

I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.
