We had a reservation and (whom I am assuming to be the owner) welcomed us in immediately and showed us to our table. Our server knew a lot about each dish and the little details about it, which is what earned the two stars.\n\nThe food, though. Oh goodness gracious, so dry and tasteless! If I am paying $28 for an entree, I kind of expect a few bells and whistles. I got the Berkshire pork. Do not get the Berkshire pork. Get the BC cod, like all three of my friends that I went with. It is just as tasteless, but not as dry. The pork was sad, rubbery and tasteless. And the beans and cabbage just did not set it off like I was so desperately hoping. We also got chicken liver pate as a starter. I've had really delicious pate before and wanted my friends to experience the same. I was so utterly disappointed because they are now turned off of it forever. I mean, I know we did not fit in with the typical Lucien demographic, being a good twenty years younger than the patrons of that night... But we know good food when we see it! And we did not see it.\n\nYou can tell a lot about a restaurant by its bread. I am a firm believer in this, as it has been proven true again and again. Lucien's bread was not free and not warm. It was served with a nice oil, which added a small touch but not enough. It was slightly dry and I used the rest of my pate on it, since the portioning of the appetizer left us all with too much pate and nothing else for it to thrive upon. I've had better bread. \n\nWe used a groupon deal for it, which significantly reduced our bill ($143-something without tip). That was a relief too, because I would cry if I paid full price of a meal I did not end up liking or finishing."^^ . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . . "2"^^ .
