Love this place on a Saturday night to sit at the very energetic and entertaining bar with our favorite bartender / mixologist "Allison" and her fellow awesomely friendly & inviting other bartenders "Leo" and the rest of the staff there. We always order the same thing to share and it is always PERFECTLY cooked and delicious, "The Steak"! Thank you Good Luck for always providing a delicious and fun experience!

Good vibes, food, and service. My eldest and I went the first time to have dinner after moving her back to college. We ordered the oxtail ragout and bolognese. Everything is ordered for sharing. I am a root beer fan and theirs is above average. Plenty of parking in a private lot. Dark lit and chill vibe. Good for dates, conversations. read more

Good luck is great! We were a party of 2, went here on a Friday night for dinner. I believe this is a farm to table restaurant with a limited menu. We ordered the beets for appetizer and sicilian pizza and red lentil curry for entrees. The food was great! Out waiter was also peppy and friendly. For dessert we got the lemon cheesecake which was fantastic! Overall, very satisfied with food and service. read more

A favorite! Good food, service and atmosphere. Especially welcoming after dark when the experience is upgraded by the many candles. read more

The drink selection was top notch. The food was great, but I thought the burger was a bit over rated. However the fries make up for any flaws. The setting was nice and relaxed. And the service was friendly and attentive. We had a great night. read more

It wasn't bad. It just was not good. I get the concept, but I don't think it's for me. First off, the drinks. We each got one at the bar while waiting for our table. I enjoyed mine, but my dining companion's (the Saturn) tasted like straight juice. With dinner, I wanted to get a draft beer and was able to sample the two IPAs. While one was tasty, I didn't order one because the beer was lukewarm. I got a burger, and companion got the black cod. The burger is $32 and a full pound and served with a heap of fries. For the price, less than impressed. The overly thick patty was just too much. It was dry and just not for me. I would rather have two well-seasoned and juicy thinner patties. The fries and sauce were good. But not $32 worth of good. The cod itself was decent but it came in a sauce that was cold and odd tasting. Ambiance is fine. It was loud and crowded, but clean. Service was friendly. read more

Good Luck is a fantastic restaurant with a lively atmosphere, creative dishes, and excellent service. The food is flavorful and beautifully presented, making it a great place for a night out with friends or a special dinner. Highly recommended! read more

Good Luck was a great experience from start to finish. Service was top notch, and the atmosphere is lively, fun, and energetic without feeling overwhelming. We tried the pizza, saganaki, and spinach salad--everything came out fresh and really well done, perfect for sharing among a group of four. The standout was definitely the burger: huge, juicy, and served with a generous pile of fries and a really solid dipping sauce on the side. It's also a great spot to grab a few drinks and hang out for the evening. read more

I really loved the food and the vibe. It was a little busy and loud. The waitress wasn't very good and the menu was definitely confusing. We ordered way too much food not realizing it was family style. We weren't mad - it was all amazing food. Also the couple next to us had about a 25 year age gap which made us feel a little odd. I'd definitely love to go back and try more on the menu. Probably the best fries I've ever had at a restaurant. The wings were very very good. The saganaki was also unreal. read more

The second you walk into Good Luck you can feel the good vibes. We made a reservation for two and were seated immediately upon arrival. I loved that there's a free coat check, it was very helpful due to the rainy weather. The menu may seem short, but we wanted to try every item. We ended up trying the Ox tail ragout which was so rich and decadent and full of flavor. The bread was an excellent mode of delivery. The Burger was HUGE. Definitely made to share. The fries were crispy. The burger was juicy and melted in my mouth, a must try. We also got free champagne since we were celebrating. The drink menu itself is presented in an interesting manner with something for everyone's taste. Good Luck was an excellent experience from start to finish read more

Great service, good cocktails, good food. I'm old school, it was a little pricey. But if you're looking for a good night out and being waited on with a competent, high energy server, this is the place. read more

Great place. All the good is good. Get their 2 lb burger. It will serve multiple people. You can't go wrong.

We popped in for just some drinks. Service was quick. I tried the kitsune and French 75. The kitsune was actually spicy with wasabi flavor and I liked how it was served over crushed ice. The French 75 was well made. Definitely want to try food next time. read more

Always the best food and atmosphere! I try to eat there once a month and always get the sicilian pizza. You won't regret it! Staff is friendly and you never wait when you reserve a table. Go there!! read more

Good luck is one of your weekly-monthly go to restaurants :) Absolutely love the vibe and I always pick bar seats! I love the bartenders as they are great mixologists and make the best drink, on demand; even if I go off menu ;) I recently went for their fried chicken night which was great; crispy chicken with a side of fries hit the spot I can't say enough about the baklava cheese cake, it was so moist and delicious!! If it's not be menu it's a must have Their drinks are always amazing - I love the violently citrus and the Sunday shirt! read more

Nice variety of large shared plates! All orders are family style ! You've come here several times! Although it is probably on the pricey side, most of the dishes are very tasty - especially the large burger and fries! We always order the burger and fries that's been cut into fourth and the wonderful fries, the kale, Caesar salad, hummus chicken. They have new offerings, sprinkled with into the menu every now and then. The cocktails are interesting mix of items that normally would not be together. Will definitely return. read more

The ambiance is warm and elegant. Waiters are always polite and the musics are nice. The food might take a while to get ready, which is great! At least you know someone is putting the work in and making everything fresh. We got pasta's and burgers for the table. Burgers are to be shared but careful with Pasta. That would be adequate for one person. read more

My spouse had the Good Luck Burger and loved it--juicy and full of flavor. I went with the Asparagus Salad, which was light and fresh with a great mix of textures. But the fries? My guilty pleasure--crispy, perfectly salted, and totally addictive. The vibe is always lively, and the service is on point. Definitely recommend for a delicious and fun night out! read more

Alright I have now been to good luck twice. The first time I was very disappointed with my pasta dish because the portion was extremely small and they advertise that meals are family style. I decided to give it another chance, and I came back to get what they're known for, the burger. So as soon as they placed the burger on our table, we saw that the fries were completely burnt. They tasted totally burnt, they were just not good at all. And my friend was telling me how they are usually really good so I was really disappointed but we didnt want to be the jerks who sent something back. So my friend finally mustered up the courage to tell the guy that our fries were very burnt and didn't taste good - and the guy said "yeah I actually felt really bad giving you guys those fries, I can get you a new side of them" We were totally baffled. You knew that you placed totally burnt, basically edible fries on our table?! I'm sorry I just feel like that's totally unacceptable, especially for the prices that they charge here. The ambience is amazing. I will give it that. But the service is just really hit or miss I guess. Our waiter was really nice and the hostesses are super friendly. But that whole situation just really irked me. The crostini and orange pie were the best part of the meal imo. read more

Well everything was downhill after salads and drinks. Service was decent but expensive steak was literally cold and pizza had no flavor at all. Heard nice things about this place but Good Luck getting us to go back! read more

Delicious food with an absolutely outstanding staff. Was absolutely taken care of--the meals may be family style but so was the service XO

This is our 2nd visit and it was better for the last time we were in town. Service was incredible as was the food. Entrees were the burger and a chicken dish. Wine and cocktails were great. read more

Okay so the camera did NOT eat first here, we ate it all as SOON as it was out on the table, but if you're ever in Rochester definitely get a reservation here! Food is all made "family style" which means any entree you get is made to share among the table (big entrees). You HAVE to get the Good Luck Burger. It's massive and the fries on top are absolutely seasoned to perfection. Mainly street parking, but there's a small lot across the street. It's a big building, great staff (amazing service), and menu has lots to choose from. Environment is set in a darker lighting which is great for intimate groups or date night. Great visit when visiting or if you're in the area. read more

When will you change menu? It's been same for months more selections needed for returning customers

Severely overpriced and overhyped. Their "massive" burger for over 30 is like a little diy project for some reason and comes with more burger than fries. I would say you're paying for ambience but the building feels half finished. read more

Excellent ambiance and stellar service from a fast-moving staff that helps each other out. My waitress, Kimberly was very kind and helpful, and her assistant, Peter was absolutely fantastic. I had the shiitake mushroom and crab dish, which was wonderful. My favorite part was their "Violently Citrus" drink, which was tart and floral. A very unique blend that was refreshing. Since many establishments close before 11 PM, Good Luck is one of the few places that are open and that is great news because this is a place to visit. read more

This place is an absolute MUST! Service, food, ambiance, drinks. Their burger is out of this world, do don't skip if you're ever in Rochester read more

All dishes served family style. Loud, boisterous bar and restaurant. Locally grown and sourced ingredients. Even the drinks are concocted with love. Personal favorite - Good Luck burger with fries piled up in the middle of 4 juicy portions. Service is impeccable with subtle refills and staff is knowledgeable of all menu items. Perfect for a date night or out with a group of friends. Do not recommend for children with noise level. read more

This is probably Rochester's best restaurant, still going strong. The atmosphere, the food, the service, and even the drinks all exhibit not just perfect execution but an artistic flair and interest. It's always booked up well in advance. It straddles a line between fine dining and casual trendy so well that it's truly surprising. read more

Had a great experience here!! Great food and our server was very nice and friendly. She explained the menu to us and provided some great recommendations! There is a large drinks menu and a bunch of fun cocktails. For food, we ended up trying a bunch of different things. I love how varied the menu is and how you can organize the food to come in courses. My personal favorite was the hot shrimp. Soooo good! I also really enjoyed the Parisian gnocchi. The place was packed on a Thursday night and we had made reservations online, which I highly recommend doing. It seems like it can get very busy and it did take some time for the courses to come out. The overall atmosphere is great though and we really enjoyed our food. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and this is where my boyfriend and I went for our anniversary dinner. We had reservations for 9pm, but were seated at around 9:30pm. The place was bumping. It seems like this is the IT spot. We ordered a bottle of wine, and our server knew it was our anniversary and gave us each a glass of champagne to celebrate. Our server was great and accommodating. I enjoyed JJ (I'm pretty sure that it his name). We started with the octopus carpacchio and corn nuts. They were both fantastic. The octopus was amazing. We then shared the walleye and steak meals. Both were absolutely delightful and had great flavor. We ended the night with some ice cream. We had a really great experience here and I wouldn't hesitate in coming back. read more

I am so disappointed for Alex a strong business owner. Passion has obviously has been lost on his staff. Check # 355 on December 4th at 4:24 . Because she didn't give us her name on the receipt. I just left from having surgery and stopped for my first meal of the day. Not only did the app. Salad and entree come out within 5 minutes of each other. When I asked for her to box my meal because my hand was in cast she said , " my boss won't let us" that it's a health code violation. Keeping in mind there were only 4 customers in the restaurant. I paid the bill still left a tip because I work in the industry but absolutely so sad that for how hard Alex has worked the staff isn't keeping true to his legacy. Also the manager was of no help and refused to box my meal that I didn't even get to eat. read more

Service - ok Cocktails- 2 not good at all and at between $12-14 Entree- was 16 oz steak shared by two- preparation was cooked very good but at $65 it is served NOT presliced on a board, with a half charred lemon, small head roasted garlic and small pile of collard greens. The menu at a different restaurant for same cut and portion was $45 and served with French fries! What has happened to this fine establishment? The one owner Charles used to be behind the bar making fabulous drinks! He is definitely needed behind that bar again . read more

Great welcome, great service, and great food. Especially the Halibut special with Red Lentils on the side.

Wow, we had a gift certificate here and couldn't figure out why it took so long to get a reservation. This place is a 12 out of 10. We split a Sicilian pizza, rabbit rigatoni, and a burger between 4 people and it was enough plus.... will definitely be back.....now i understand the time it took, 100% quality. ... read more
