    A late Valentines Day lunch was perfect for us. Noise level was not an issue at the time we went but could imagine it could get loud for dinner. Fish tacos were good and the burger was excellent.. fries were average. Our Bellinis were average. The service was top notch!

    Amazing food and service; with an added bonus that we got to sit right next to Jennifer Anniston and Courtney Cox!

    As always stellar service and the food was divine. How do you make a simple ice cream sundae taste like it took hours to develop, ask the folks at Lucky’s!!

    We waited a long time for something mediocre… The waiter did not care at all for us. Certainly do not recommend When you are a known restaurant you have to keep the staffing by being at your best behavior…

    All was good until the Manager came over and accused one of us of “spitting” on a waiter. I am sure what happened was we were 8 people seated at a 6 top so it was tight for waiters to serve and so the waiter leaned into the table and one of the guests did speak to him and since he has a speech impediment he does tend to have saliva come out when he speaks, so there is no way it was intentional. He apologizes for that. I don’t have an issue with the waiter making a complaint, the issue is the GM came to the table and embarrassed my guest by saying we don’t tolerate spitting on waiters - which did not happen intentionally - I would have appreciated if the GM pulled myself or the accused guest off the table in private and sorted it out. No reason to make the accusation in public in front of 7 other guests and ruin the dinner vibe. Given it was in no way intentional the accusatory tone and public display was not necessary.

    The service is top notch, the drinks are as well, and the food we had the Lucky's Chile w cornbread and the spinach salad both were excellent!
