We were in the front room and it was cozy and quiet ! The best bonus was our waitress, Kim! Easy, skilled and set the tone for a fun meal out for us! We had the 100 layer lasagna, rich and flavorful and the Rock Shrimp Scampi - the sauce was divine. Complements of Kim we had the Neapolitan sundae! The ice creams were flavorful and loved the toasted meringue and brule banana We will be back.

I found Lucille’s on Google when looking for a dinner spot one evening on a work trip. I could not have been more pleased with my dinner. I ordered the yardbird and best friend (drink). The food, drinks, and service were fantastic. I will definitely be back when I'm in town!
