| - I "heart" brunch, who doesn't? If you don't... well, I don't know you. Lucky's is a hit or miss brunch option for me in Tremont.
Here's my take:
I absolutely love the concept of this place. Their eco-friendly, farm-to-table, local farmer lovin' idea is why I keep coming back. The outdoor picnic area is such a great vibe. Everyone ends up sitting together at the tables and it's really fun. You can see their garden in back where they make their own compost and harvest fresh produce.
The inside cafe area is great too, and run like a proper one too. You can order at your table with a waiter and they'll give you a number. Or you can order at the counter and you're food will be brought to you. The interior is just really cute. I can't quite explain it.
Although I've only ever been to Lucky's for brunch, the food is always fresh and so tasty. Homemade ingredients, vegan-friendly menu items, healthy and indulgent choices. Whatever mood your in, you can find something delish. Plus it takes the hardship out of finding a great place for brunch with variety for my herbivore friends. As much as they love oatmeal, they should have more choices than that. Lucky's offers them lots!
What I can't stand is the crabby wait service. First of all, as everyone else has mentioned there are no substitutions. Not only that, but the removal of any item from your dish is out of the question. That's ridiculous. If you have an allergy, how hard is it for someone to remove some toast from your plate? It seems that Lucky's would rather waste food than cater to their customers. Hmmm... not good. Beyond that, I always just feel like I'm rushed to get out of there. Like I'm just another diner, no one special. I don't need to be pampered, but jeez...at least make me feel welcomed.
So, yes. I will stop back at Lucky's when I'm in Tremont and want some brunch. It's fantastic food and I can't deny that I crave some of their menu items. I wish I could say that the staff bothers me enough not to come back, but that is false. Oh well...
