| - Came here on a Friday in December for the free pizza. Normally, I'm not one to complain about service, as I've been a server in the past myself, but our waiter was exceptionally rude and seemed clueless about the menu. He neglected to tell us that during the month of December, the normal drink menu is nonexistent, and that he didn't know what the happy hour deals were. That all would have been fine if he had even given us the time of day-I suspect he thought we were underagers, as Lucille is notorious for not carding (even though we were all 21.) Besides our waiter, the rest of the staff seemed like they didn't want to deal with our group (of only three people at 4 in the afternoon, I might add.) We were told that we had to sit upstairs for some unknown reason, even though there were multiple tables open on the bottom floor, and essentially that we had 1 hour to eat and then leave, since they were booked up with reservations at 5. We definitely didn't need more time than that, and obliged, but it truly seemed like the staff did not want to serve us/ deal with us at all. The pizza was good, but nothing I'd pay the absurdly high prices for if it wasn't free. The cocktail my friend ordered was a whopping $12 and served in the tiniest glass I've ever seen. One thing I do like about Lucille is that the vibe is very sophisticated, and the décor is really cute; I really, truly wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, the insane price tags for mediocre food, and the condescending staff is really deterring me. This restaurant needs to get off its high horse.
