| - I'd give Lucky's 2.5 stars.
In my opinion it's overpriced for what you get. (and over-hyped thanks to Lucky's national tv appearance) Yes, everything is local, freshly made, etc. - as I heard in the 5 minute, unenthusiastic speech given by my server before my meal - but still...
I dropped in for lunch on a Friday afternoon with some coworkers. I thought there were going to be 8 in our party, so I asked for a table for 8. The hostess/waitress literally "harrumpf-ed" and gave me a dirty look after I said that. I know larger parties can be a pain, but the restaurant was pretty empty. She seated me outside on a picnic table in the blazing sun. Once my coworkers arrived, we realized our party would only be 6 people and our cubicle dweller skin couldn't handle so much sun, so we went back inside and asked for a table. More audible sighs and glares followed.
At this point, had I not been with a group, I would have left. But we stayed and had a decent meal. Our server was very ostentatious and at times, condescending. Maybe it's because we were dressed in work attire and she despised us for not being a hipster like her, but our money is just as green.
I had the canoe wreck, a mediocre tofu scramble with potatoes and about 3 pounds of peppers. I've had better elsewhere. (and could make a much better meal myself) For $13.50, I expected it to be mind blowing, and I was honestly pretty disappointed. In our party, the only person who seemed to really enjoy his meal was the guy who got the grilled cheese with pesto minus bacon. I nearly fell out of my chair when they let him make a substitution. I know how strict they are about not altering menu items.
For my money, I can get a much better tofu scramble at Grovewood Tavern or Beachland Ballroom and not have to deal with attitude. I can honestly say I'll never go back.
