The food was amazing and cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Jake, was funny and attentive. Restaurant is small so noise level was a bit high but I could still have conversation with my table easily.

Fantastic menu front to back - incredible assortment of highly seasonal ingredients that were largely locally foraged. Michael was personable, well versed on the menu and offered great insight to the philosophy of the restaurant. Definitely a new neighborhood regular spot. Thanks Regards team.

Timely and pleasant service. Menu options were plentiful and the ones we ordered were delicious. Wines by the glass selection was a bit limited but overall worth a return visit especially if heading to Merrill auditorium for a performance.

I cannot say enough glowing things about Lucky Cheetah. From the moment I walked through the door, the music, the colors and the atmosphere had me! The servers were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food and drinks were top notch! Don’t miss the martini with caviar stuffed olives and the king mushroom! So delicious. I can’t wait to go back!

We a had a wonderful dinner before attending a show. Our waiter Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delicious from our antipasto platter, cocktails, pasta dishes and crème brûlée with biscotti. I had the pasta with mushrooms and I would definitely order it again. Homemade biscotti was to die for! Looking forward to returning.
