It looked trendy, modern and always had a line up. It seems those days are gone and the last few times I have been, it hasn't been that busy and the decor hasn't changed in years. They constantly used to update their huge chalk boards with specials, but now it always says the same thing. Their selection of fish used to change often as well as their menu giving this restaurant an element of surprise at every visit, but I noticed that the menu hasn't changed at all in the last two years. Makes me a little sad, I would hate to see the end of an era.\n\nThe service is always fantastic. The same wait staff have been there for years and they are always friendly from one visit to the next. The owners are always there as well. They typically seat the guests and consistently watch over the cooks and the wait staff throughout the evening. \n\nThe jalapeno corn bread is always my favourite. I always end up having to ask for a second plate. It is always fresh and has a really great flavour that isn't spicy at all.\n\nI started off with the oysters. I thought they were fantastic. Very fresh! There wasn't anything extraordinary about them, but good oysters shouldn't need much to have them taste good. This was definitely the case. Don't mess with a good thing! We also had the bacon wrapped scallops. The scallops were overcooked and didn't have much flavour, but the bacon was great!\n\nI had the Mediterranean salad. It was really good! I have a shrimp allergy, so they had no problem adding extra scallops instead. They gave me my choice of what I wanted at no additional charge which I thought was really great and accommodating. I love the pairing of the feta cheese and pine nuts. Gave it a really nice flavour. The dressing is a raspberry vinaigrette. The only thing I didn't like was the tomato was chopped up extremely small almost mush, like what they would use for a fresh pasta sauce, so I felt like it had been prepped ahead of time and used for multiple things as opposed to having tomato freshly sliced for the salads specifically. The seafood was grilled to perfection - not chewy at all. I did have one scallop that tasted like I bit down into sand that I had to put into my napkin. It was a bit of a turnoff, but I'm not sure that is something they can control as it didn't appear to look any different from the other scallops. I have gotten this salad many times before and will continue to get it. It is one of my favourite items on the menu. \n\nIt happened to be my birthday, so they brought me a brownie complete with whipped cream and a candle. It was delicious and a really nice touch. \n\nIf you sign up for their newsletter, every year they mail you a free dinner coupon on your birthday. Love this. Use mine every year. The bill still comes out to be quite pricey once you add on the other guest's meals, appetizers, drinks, etc. This is definitely not a cheap restaurant to go to. \n\nHonestly, if it wasn't for the birthday coupon, I'm not sure I would make the drive from Oakville to Lucy's any longer, but when I do go, I enjoy it. They need to switch up their menu and pay a little more attention to presentation and quality of the small things like the steamed vegetables (clearly from a frozen package and then steamed) and scallops they use."^^ . .
