    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.

    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.

    The place is just charming and school elegance. This time we sat outside in front of the fireplace. So nice. Plenty of heaters. They have a lovely bar area to sit in or indoors. This was my 2x in 2 weeks - it is definitely my go to Sat or Sunday Brunch. It is a nice menu with plenty of breakfast or lunch options. Everything we had was fantastic. The service is impeccable - shout out to Austin! Value - with a brunch entree you get a beverage, which includes the option for a mimosa. What more do you want?? Have not been for dinner, but it is on the list.

    Classic old school neighborhood gem! Lucky's is a gem. The place is subtle elegance. The menu has everything you need. We went for brunch. This place just gets it. "Lucky" is on the plates, the cups, and even the napkins. The bathrooms have marble counters. The picture covered walls just give you a feel of home. The front patio has a huge fireplace. There is a small bar off to the side. Wood covered walls. This is the type of place I love and enjoy and will definitely be back for dinner. The prices are very relative to the value and location.
