    This was the first time visiting The Lure. We sat two tables in from the door. We came for brunch. The food was average, nothing special. Our server was awesome! The front doors were open and the noise from the outside was streaming in as well as from inside the restaurant. Inside, was extremely loud. The worst part was the dog hair floating in from the pets. On exit, I noticed the rugs covered in dog hair and then saw a dog in the booth behind us. I acknowledge the added benefit of allowing dogs to accompany diner’s outside, but all things dogs should be kept outside. I didn’t stroll thru the restaurant, but the decor was cute.

    Food was great. Little mix-up with our table at the start of the evening, but it all worked out. Will definitely come back.

    It was a little loud, but tons of fun. The server moved us to a bigger table when more friends joined--very appreciative of this!

    Not bad. Interesting menu. Some really tasty dishes. The place is crowded so the servers are busy and not really attentive.
