| - If you happen to have a tuning fork somewhere in your rumpus room, pick it up, find a hard surface and strike it. Now hold it up to your ear. Hear that tone? It's perfect. It hits a nerve.
That was my experience at Lucky's Cafe. From beginning to end, a magical experience.
We were in town for a wedding and were seeking a local place to grab some breakfast before heading for home and thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I found Lucky's not eight minutes from our hotel. Nestled in a quirky neighborhood which reminded me a bit of Mass. Ave. or Broad Ripple here in Indy, I was getting some warm fuzzies as we pulled up. The host was extremely friendly and gave us some good-natured teasing as we entered.
We were seated quickly, which was a nice surprise and after ordering our drinks we took a quick tour of the gardens. Talk about fresh choices - we were just steps away from the produce that would eventually make it to our table. Tomatoes and peppers and herbs, oh my. I was envious of the gardens, to be sure.
Our server, also perfect for this restaurant, was passionate about the place and treated us like regulars. We had two kids in tow, and treated them with patience, too. That's important to parents.
The food, oh, the food. So delicious. It just made you feel good to eat it, knowing you were enjoying fresh ingredients. My wife and I split the Shipwreck: A heaping plate of eggs, cheese, veggies, hash browns and bacon. Easily shareable.
The girls split a delicious waffle with some outrageous toppings. No complaints there!
Lucky's Cafe is one of those places I wish we had around the corner. If you live in Cleveland, if you are going to visit Cleveland or anywhere within about a five hour drive please take it upon yourself to visit this example of what can happen when we eschew the norm and support local businesses.
