| - First off, Lucille's recently moved a block down from its original spot. Which I was honestly bummed about, cause I was kinda looking forward to experiencing a more divey, been-around-for-a-long-time kinda seafood joint, with ship steering wheels and fishing net decor, maybe some black-and-white photos of old bearded fishermen standing next to 7-foot tunas. But alas, no such luck.
The new location, while definitely more modern, does try to maintain some of that old feel. Wood paneling, some Harley engines hanging up on the wall, a ship hull overlooking the larger part of the dining room. But the refrigerated glass room filled with dry-aging beef brings us back to 2017.
I dropped by with my partner for a quick oyster fix. And honestly, that was all we could probably afford. Didn't realize how expensive it was going to be. Again, my visions of a seafood dive thwarted. That said, the oysters were amazing. Also managed to budget some fries and grilled veggies to balance out our meal, and both were quite exceptional for what they were.
Would I come here again? Maybe for that octopus. But otherwise, I think the better value would be to split a box of oysters with a couple homies and shuck em ourselves. I never thought of oysters as a fine dining kind of cuisine anyways.
