Lu Cas is a long standing traditional Italian style restaurant. The primary reason is the food is traditional well prepared Italian dishes. The service was attentive. There is no bar or liquor served so you need to bring your own.The cost for a lunch for 3 was a bit high at $ 80 plus gratuity.

We ate at LouCas often before the pandemic. This was our first time back since March 2020. The only bad part of our experience was that it took over 10 minutes for someone to come to our table to ask what type of water we would like and to bring a basket of very good bread. There were only 6 other table in a large dining room, and there were several waitstaff ignoring us. I had to ask that someone to open our bottle of wine as this is a BYOB restaurant which is a plus. After that, we had a wonderful waitress who was pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious. We will go back.

The restaurant was packed which is great however we were seated in a table that seem almost to be in a walk path. We watched 3 other table be seated, water poured and bottles of wine opened. I was finally able to grab someone's attention and ask him to find our server. It was almost as if this table was not assigned to anyone. I think he felt bad for us and ended up taking care of us. The food was delicious which helped make up for where we were stuck and being oversighted for the first 20 or so minutes.

Last night I had the tuna special! It was fantastic. The restaurant was a bit on the loud side, lots of parties happening. The noise traveled to the main dining area. Once the parties ended it was much better, and it quoted down. My entire party loved their meals!

Just not up to par with cooking there meats since most of the time it's overcooked and tough. Some of the wait staff need further training on how to talk to the guests. I could go further but what's the point.
