We had heard about Luckenbooth and decided to check it out for the first time. Our first impression was of an above average cafe with some very nice extra features.
The place is extremely neat and clean and off to the side there is a Tea Room that is quite fancy and very inviting. They have watercolors on the wall for sale by a local artist and the works are very nice too.
The owners were very friendly and laid back which we like.
The menu was simple and straight forward which is a big plus in our book. We really dislike overly detailed menus.
Our food was good to very good all the way around but off enough to pull this review down to 4 stars.
The bread was delicious (some of the best "appetizer" bread we have ever had) but we would have liked some whipped butter with this and had to use butter packets instead. Not a big deal though.
We ordered fish which was very good. (not sure what the economics are for this area but an all you can eat cod dinner for 9-10 dollars would be nice. We recently had an all you can eat cod dinner for 7 dollars at another location.) The fish was cooked perfectly and the breading was not greasy and very good.
The coleslaw was very good but the vegetable dish was unusual. It had a good flavor but the carrots were hard and undercooked. Not sure if this was how it was supposed to be or not.
Mashed potatoes excellent.
Our dessert was well made and of large proportion.
