Our family dined at Lucien for the very first time and besides a ridiculous bill, we really didn't have much to show for it. Portions are among the most modest I've seen in all the fancy restaurants I've been to. Taste-wise, it was alright...palatable but not noteworthy. We all agreed on two major pet peeves. Served by the owner, we felt we were repeatedly "pressured" into ordering extra because he kept asking if we wanted any appetizers/dessert/alcohol. Of course we understand it's part of his job to upsell but his demeanour could've been a bit more relaxed. Most aggravating was that we were charged for water! There may have been a mix-up in him serving us Evian water over tap water but seriously, shouldn't tap water be provided and refilled automatically without asking? Our table had to request water refills at least five times! But then again, the slow refill service may have stemmed from him thinking we only wanted Evian water. If it indeed was Evian water, we sure couldn't tell! It tasted exactly like tap water and we were served in what appeared to be refillable glass bottles that had no cap...hardly Evian...
Overall, nice for a one-time experience, severely gouges your pockets and will leave you swearing that you'd never ever return.
