    Hot Bird sandwich is delicious. The heathbar bread pudding is one of the best desserts I have ever had.

    I decided to give Lucy’s a second chance after having a poor customer service experience a few weeks ago. I am glad that I did. The staff was outstanding and the food was good. You get a good value for the money. I will go back.

    Food and service were excellent. Nice variety of food and drink choices. Can be noisy, but typical for a sports bar. Only drawback was limited parking. When nothing is available in the restaurant lot, street parking and a bit of a walk is required.

    Always a great experience at Lucy’s. I believe we had Kayla as a server for brunch and she was a delight.

    Food was amazing as always but our server was not good. She took our order but we didn’t see her again until the food was served. Our water was not refilled. She didn’t come back to ask about our meals. She didn’t thank us.

    The place was very busy. It was nice to see that they had good business. However, our waiter was gone for long periods of time. My dish was missing the avocado, and I had to flag down another staff person to ask for it.  The waiter came back after we were almost done eating.  I can only give it a three at this time.
