Re-visited the Lucky Penny on 9/30/17 and so glad we did. I can see major improvement that deserves high praise. The general manager, Freshta Soltero is concerned that each person's dining experience is a very positive one. She has managed to greatly improve the chef's attention to the quality of the food as well as the wait staff's attentiveness to the guests. Our waiter Arturo, and the shift manager Camila were as pleasant and helpful as they could have been. Both were very personable and attentive. I hope we see them on our next visit!
If you go there you must try the Maine Lobster Roll which is one of the best I've ever had. The freshness of the lobster and the perfectly toasted bun were fantastic. Perfectly spiced and a large serving with fries. I tried the Old Fashioned Cherry Bombe milkshake and it was great. So many cherry pieces and spiked with bourbon! My husband enjoyed the freshness of the hummus on the Mezzo Board Small Plate. He also had a Dirty Burger that was HUGE with pieces of pork belly on it. It was very good. Both entrees were perfectly cooked. Our favorite was the Small Plate of Zin Braised Meatballs. This was absolutely fantastic! We did not have desserts simply because we were full.
There are many interesting small plates and entrees to be tried on a return trip. The menu is innovative and has interesting twists on comfort food items such as meatloaf and potato soup. Continued success, Freshta!
