This place is a bit pricey and the acoustics of the space are horrible. Even when it is only half full the noise level makes it difficult to hear the person sitting across from you. The acoustics are so bad they would generally keep me from ever coming back. However, what makes up for all this are the Lobster Rolls. Simply put they are hands down best in the city. The serving is very generous and worth the price tag. You get two rolls, generously stuffed with lobster, and fries. The fries aren't bad, but the lobster rolls are terrific.
To lock in my love for their lobster rolls last week I decided I could make my own lobster rolls. Being lazy and not wanting to deal with the hassle of cooking and de-shelling a fresh lobster I went out and bought some frozen lobster and made myself some lobster rolls for dinner. Upon the first bite of my homemade rolls I immediately had an even greater level of appreciation for the lobster rolls at Lucilles.
Rating Lucy's becomes a bit of a challenge. I've tried some of their other dishes, but nothing is on the same level as the lobster rolls. In fact if it were not for the lobster rolls I would likely not go back as the rest of the food is not really worth the price and the atmosphere is the pits due to the noise levels. Did I mention =, you can't even hear yourself think in this place? So all in all the lobster roll is 5 stars, the atmosphere is 2 stars and the rest of the food, when taking into consideration the price, is 2.5 stars. So I guess the average works out to 3 stars.
