This being my first trip to Lucia’s I must say it was phenomenal. Our server I never had better. The food was beyond expectations. The number one thing was it was my girlfriend’s birthday and the server made her day. I will return again, just wanted to give the staff a big thank you!

Neither beet salad was not as expected knowing the quality that Lucia’s should present. We felt inferior as a customer.

We were a party of 6. Food was outstanding as usual. Shrimp Cocktail was massive and the calamari were perfect. Steaks were tender and cooked just right. Seafood dishes were flavorful and plenty. Our only complaint was that we were seated in the bar area and a large party came in and stood right on top of us, actually touching our backs. Our fault for not stating in the reservation No Bar Seating Please. This won't deter us from returning, the food is just too good to pass up!

I had the French onion soup which lacked flavor, but the bang bang calamari was very good. The lobster linguine was bland, even though the description said it had Calabrian chilies and pecorino romano. The Lobster meat in the shell was good, but the lobster pieces in the pasta were dry. The tiramisu was light and tasty even though it was missing mascarpone and coffee flavor. My dining companions had the Seabass, haddock, and fillet mignon, which they said they enjoyed.very much
