| - I'm kinda torn between giving Lucille 2 or 3 stars. I want to like this place- it has a great aesthetic, I love the garage door style windows that can open up and really ventilate the place and allow you to enjoy the outside even though they don't have a patio, and the bank vault downstairs is fun.
I've been here for drinks a few times, and the drinks are awesome. They change up their cocktail menu fairly frequently, and I haven't had a bad one yet. The tap list is usually interesting and they have a few decent wines.
I don't think I'll be coming back for food though. I ate at Lucille this summer and everything save my one cocktail was disappointing. And, I actually ordered a second cocktail, but it never came to the table, although they did try to charge me for it at the end of the meal.
We had two appetizers to start. The cheese curds were decent. The Artichoke dip app was sad; the dip itself tasted fine even though it wasn't quite hot, but the tortilla chips served with it were downright inedible. They had seemingly been cooked in cold oil, absorbing the poor quality (maybe old) oil making them soft in some places, greasy all over and tasting very stale.
We had a Detroit style pizza that was very lack luster. I mean, it's pizza, so it was edible, but it's not something I would choose to eat again. The crust was kinda chewy, but not in a good way. The cheese was very bland, they would be better off using Wisconsin brick cheese- higher fat content and more flavor than mozzarella. Sauce was unremarkable. The toppings were fresh and good though.
Service over all was poor. I try to give waitstaff the benefit of the doubt, I don't know everything that's happening in the restaurant while I'm there, but I barely saw her unless she was walking quickly past my table without even glancing our way.
TL;DR : Drinks are good. Style is great. Food was barely palatable. Service was awful.
