About the restaurant

Four by Brother Luck- A new American Restaurant focusing on Four Course tasting menus. Bravo TV Celebrity Chef Brother Luck is influenced by the IV key sources who supply our ingredients; the hunter, the gatherer, the fisherman, and the farmer. These people are truly the beginning of every dish we imagine as the seasons change. The seasonal menus have been set up in four courses with multiple selections within each course, allowing you to "choose your own four course adventure" with the option of wine pairings selected by our expert sommelier. All items are also available a la carte. We offer happy hour Tuesday - Sunday from 3pm-5pm, with discounted drinks and bar appetizers. Dinner service begins at 5pm Tuesday - Sunday.
