    Fantastic experience! Loved the live pianist, especially the random guest who actually played a bit and did a fantastic job! Food was wonderful. Started with Rockefeller oysters and crab and shrimp tower. The crab and shrimp were so fresh that it was like having ceviche which was delightful. The oysters were a perfect mix of a spinach dip vibes and oysters. We split the paella and New Orleans blackened red snapper, and both were fantastic! Very flavorful. Cocktails were great as well. Decided to go with the port wine flight as dessert. Great choice, highly recommend the Croft Distinction Reserve We’ll be back!

    This was such a great find! We wanted to eat before a baseball game and found Lucille’s, which was 12 minutes away from the field. From the time we entered, we were made to feel so welcome. Our server knew we were on a time schedule and was so helpful in getting our order quickly taken and food to the table. Everything was delicious. The $10 happy hour slider with fries was wonderful; shrimp and grits and oxtails were both so tasty, and the bread pudding was yummy. Oh, and the Caesar salad with the egg was a perfect compliment to our meal. We ordered the catfish nuggets and chili biscuits for appetizers, and tasting those let us know we were in for a treat. Thanks, Lucille’s!
