   Unbelievable. One of our best meals ever. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They really seem to enjoy working there. And the food was both adventurous and delicious. We had several different dips for the oysters and I noticed one was based on flavors from Zimbabwe. (We have the only Zimbabwean restaurant in the US in Durham, NC, which is the only reason I would have recognized this.) Enjoy!

   Pros: The food was wonderful. Service was outstanding. Ambiance was very hip. Great for a younger crowd! Cons: The noise level was very high, which made it difficult to carry on a conversation with my date. The facility is not wheelchair accessible. Parking is not fun...especially if there's an event downtown. While the food was good, I didn't think the pricing was reasonable for the quantity of food we were served. Overall, we had a nice dining experience for two people who don't get out much!

   Every time I go I don’t think it can get better… but it does.. I came here for a business dinner 7 years ago and it keeps getting better and better. The attention to detail in the presentation, ingredients, flavors is unmatched. They go beyond just ambiance, this is a full experience with no detail left unturned. Even down to the cocktails that hit every sense from the look of the glass, first smell of the garnish to the balance of flavors. (For bourbon lovers try the Cube and check out their amazing selection of bourbons) This is the perfect date night, solo dinner, out with friends, business meal, or just when you need that Lucky flair! Their flavors pull from all parts of the world. It is art from the moment you walk in to the first sip and the last bite. You know those moments where you take a bite of amazing food and suddenly everything else going on doesn’t matter? Where you look at the person across from you with wide eyes and smile shaking your head like “wow”? Those moments happen on every bite, every cocktail, and each dish. Lucky is a must go to when you are any where near Roanoke! #cheers

    I used to love Lucky, it was quite possibly my favorite place to eat in Roanoke. I'm all for small plates, but if I'm being fully honest if you're going to charge someone $30 for two scallops then they need to be mind blowing. They were good, but not $15/scallop good. Also, some of the dishes feel unnecessarily small. Like the mushroom caviar, why not just put it in a nice dish and then give us 4-5 pieces of baguette. That way we at least feel like we're getting more bang for our buck. We spent over $200 and felt like we needed to go eat somewhere else afterward. We'll give it a shot again someday, but I'm hoping they can work out the kinks with the new menu. The cubes, bourbon selection, and service were wonderful as always!

    If you are in Roanoke you must go to Lucky! The craft cocktails are the best and the farm to table food is to die for! Sit at the bar if you want to watch the bartenders do their magic. If you want a more private setting, a booth is perfect. Everything about Lucky is pretty fantastic!

    Definitely lost a lot from what it used to be. I don’t even think it is even owned or operated by the same people. The menu was much better, don’t like the new tapas. Not worth it for what you get. The service was excellent and the drinks were impeccable.

    I brought customers here before the pandemic and had a wonderful experience. Totally different experience this time. This is what we had: caprese salad: very good dozen oysters: very good, but sauces were bland...no horseradish octopus: very good gumbo: no flavor, dry and undercooked rice scallops: $30 for 2. Not much flavor flatiron steak: very good Mochi bites: good taste, very tiny bites Asked for salt and pepper half way through the meal, which made some things better. I just expected much better seasoning and flavor for the portion size and price.

    We were gifted a $50 gift card to Lucky with the warning that it wouldn't get us (2 people) all that far at the notoriously pricey Lucky. We had a great time and made sure to research their offerings in advance as to not be taken aback by the pricing, portion sizes, etc. Our cocktails were delicious and featured local goodness and were definitely a summer treat. The servers did a great job of explaining the menu and cocktail concept, describing our dishes, and making recommendations. We enjoyed cocktails, the oysters (and especially loved the shakalaka topping), caprese (admittedly more of a greens-heavy salad than a true caprese, but still delicious!), short ribs, and the quail. Everything was balanced, well-seasoned and fun. My biggest tip for visiting Lucky: be prepared to treat yourself and approach it as an adventure, not your next stuff-yourself meal. I think there's something to be said for small plates. Are you really enjoying your 20th bite of ribeye and fried potatoes? By the point, I think taste leaves the building. We savored every bite of each plate at Lucky and, as farmers, are grateful for the farm sources listed at the bottom of the menu. Looking forward to returning the next time they have a menu change-up!

    I was a bit reluctant to try the “new” Lucky because I really LOVED the “old” Lucky. BUT…we gave it a try and really loved everything we ordered. We had a party of three and each ordered 2 items and the cheese plate. And we were pleasantly full. Sharing was nice with this group however I wouldn’t want to share with less familiar people. Each dish had excellent flavor and there was a nice variety. We thought about ordering “ the menu” but didn’t because there were a couple of items that no one wanted to try. Favorites included the short ribs, potatoes and caprese salad. Drinks were excellent! Menu is pricey. We will definitely go back!

    I was excited to see the new menu. I liked it better than the old menu except I miss their amazing Brussels sprouts! I hope they change it seasonally. It’s pretty expensive for the area too, but the cocktails are amazing.

    Despite enthusiastic attempts from the lovely Lucky staff to prepare us for the fact that you need to spend a lot of money and order many plates to leave without planning your takeout delivery to arrive at your house half-way through your meal, there's nothing that can quite prepare you. The food was creative and interesting. There's no doubt everything was local and much thought and talent was put into each dish. This does not change, however, the extreme issue. There was NOT enough food to constitute a meal. If you'd like to not leave hungry, you are going to need to order the entire menu of small plates (for 2-3 people if everyone likes almost everything). This alone will cost you about $180. We ordered four plates (one scallop - literally, octopus, salad, and potatoes) for two people. We both had to eat when we got home. That, a glass of wine (5 oz) and a couple coffees the size of cappuccinos set us back $80. Lucky's wants to be fine dining. Which I can understand and it seems like they have the chef talent to do that. However, they need to couple their small plates into actual meal sets. I've been to plenty of tapas restaurants. Few of those experiences could have prepared me for a $15 scallop (singular). Some other potential suggestions: - mark vegetarian/vegan plates as such. It's hard to understand all of the menu item ingredients (because so many are quite rare). - include free bread or SOMETHING. I've never before left a restaurant hungrier. - thank your wait staff - they're doing some heavy lifting for you. They did a great job, still didn't actually feed me. - include decently priced wine you can get at less than $11 for 5oz. Common. House wine. - get some stevia for your coffee - as stated above - figure out a way for people to easily leave knowing that a certain price will actually leave them full. To say I'm frustrated at that is an understatement. If I know I need to spend $100 to be full, at least I can know that.

    Had been in the past and the menu was better and there were entrees available. The new “small bites” menu was very esoteric and small. Had to go home and eat a frozen pizza. The Hurricane drink was good.

    Great place to eat if you like food that is fairly tasty, stupidly pretentious, and equally overpriced. A couple of examples. A plate of scallops for two that only has one scallop. A plate of alleged octopus that might have two grams of actual octopus suspended in gelatin. All that, paired with a wait staff that spent more time talking to each other than paying attention to customers. This is the new version of Lucky, a formerly great restaurant. Now it's just a place for people with more money than sense.

    Very nice atmosphere. I’d suggest getting “the full menu” option for a date with two to just get every plate. They came out and talked about each plate and what it was which was a nice touch. Waters and cocktails were refilled frequently. Just a cool place.
