I came here for lunch with a friend before going to the symphony at Roy Thomson Hall on a dreary Sunday afternoon. We got here around 1pm and it was pretty empty inside; no reservation necessary.
I ordered the roasted veg and goat cheese panini with sweet potato fries (so typical me). My friend asked if she could have one of their wraps on a panini instead, and her request was graciously accommodated.
Our food came out fairly quickly, however I noticed that my panini came with fries instead of the sweet potato fries I had ordered. I can be harsh and critical on Yelp but I'm really meek as a lamb in real life, so I didn't want to mention it. Our hawk-eyed server somehow noticed my friend and I muttering about the mix-up and she brought an order of sweet potato fries to our table right away. Amazing.
My panini was quite good - warm roasted vegetables with plenty of goat cheese on a chewy bun that was nice and crispy on the outside. The sweet potato fries, on the other hand, had a bit of a greasy taste that I wasn't the most fond of. I didn't have anything to drink other than water for fear that I would nod off during the symphony, but they have an extensive list of martinis that I would go back to try one day!
Service was pleasant and quick, and we were in and out in about an hour. Also, everything on the menu seems very reasonably priced - my total for a very filling lunch came to less than $15! As mentioned by other reviewers, the decor here is funky and cool, making Hey Lucy a great pick for a girls night out.
