| - This cafe has all the makings of a five star joint, except that our service went from good to meh. Even with its popularity in the neighborhood and on the Food Network, we were able to get a table within 15 minutes of arriving. They had a large pitcher of cucumber water available while we waited (nice touch!).
Lucky's has its own organic garden, short but delicious menu, full pastry case, and an eclectic vibe that makes Tremont so great. I really like this place!
The food was positively divine! Straight from food heaven.
Between the five of us, we enjoyed their famous rueben sandwich (that clove!), biscuits and gravy, breakfast burrito, and oatmeal waffles with rhubarb compote, homemade cream and toasted pecans, with brown sugar bacon on the side (not worth the hype, sorry!). The coffee was also robust, and every bite was worth the calories. The only major issue we had was that one of our orders arrived after the rest of us had finished (and it was the second of two orders of biscuits). We had to remind them to bring it out, and they barely mentioned it, even though it was their error - seemed strangely dismissive.
Ah, well.. I suppose you can't be perfect every time.
Thankfully, our portions were big enough to share, so our friend got to enter in to our food bliss while he waited for his order to arrive.
Carrot torte, salted caramel brownie, and key lime tart for the road.
It was a good day.
