Overall you were a good experience. Our server who was a manager was very good. My shrimp and crab bucatini only contained 2 shrimp and some what appeared to be imitation crabmeat in a very nice cream sauce. $49.75 very pricey. Dates steak was great but the smashed Red potatoes did not go with steak. Sweet sauce is a mistake. $69 again pricey. No wine list was provided but I went with the servers suggestion for 2 glasses of average white wine at $20. each ,again pricey. Sorry to say but we will not return. read more

The service made the experience of Lucia's all worth the while. It can be a bit overwhelming as soon as you walk in. Crowded and lots of people surrounded at the bar and tables but once you get seated is a lot more relaxing. We got drinks at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready and they were extremely strong, When we sat the table our server saw I wasn't drinking it and asked why, I explained I just didn't care for it and he took it off my check which was kind given I already paid for it. The food was excellent, the French onion soup is a MUST. everything was flavorful. It's quite pricey, it'd be nice to attend as a special occasion but not a place I'd frequent. read more

Celebrated our wedding anniversary at Lucia's on the Lake and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was beautiful and made the night feel really special. We ordered the steak and the seafood pasta and both dishes were absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. A huge thank you to Jessica for taking such great care of us. Her service was friendly, attentive, and really made the evening even better. She helped make our anniversary dinner one we'll definitely remember. If you're looking for a great place for a special night out, Lucia's on the Lake is definitely worth it. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back! read more

Our reservations were at 6:00pm and we arrived 5 min early and were seated right away. Much to our surprise we were escorted, all the way to what we would call the patio with rattan high top chairs and marble tables, with no more than 5 tables and window bar seating. The restaurant has linen table cloth tables with nice padded chairs which we did not have the pleasure to dine on. We have to say the waiter/bartender was very attentive during our meal. At the end of our meal I stopped at the hostess station and spoke to a manager about our concerns. She advised me I should have said I wanted the dining room, but I explained I had no idea there was an area other than the dining room for dinner to ask for, as I did this over the phone and not online. Normally a restaurant will ask if you are ok with the patio area but that was never asked. When you secure reservations over 2 months prior to an event you would think you would get the main dining room with the linen table cloths and padded chairs. I am not sure what my early reservation got me when again I got rattan chairs at a high top marble table. The manager advised next time I should specify where I want to sit, but I can safely say there will be no next time. This was supposed to be a nice romantic dinner for us, but clearly sitting in the bar/patio area we could have done anywhere.

Lucia's has been my favorite restaurant for many years and overall continues to be one of the best dining experiences in Western New York. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is professional, and the bartenders and servers are always excellent. I have so much respect for the owner because he takes pride in the restaurant and treats his employees well, and that is one of the reasons I have remained such a loyal customer. This visit was especially important to me because it was my date's first time there, and I was excited to show him what I have always considered to be the best restaurant in Western New York for many years. We started with the calamari, which was excellent. I ordered the Sea Bass special for $55, which I almost always get, and it was absolutely amazing as usual. It was perfectly prepared and continues to be one of the best dishes they offer. My date ordered the lobster linguine, which I have had many times in the past and always loved. I wanted him to try both dishes, so he ordered it instead of getting steak because of how much I raved about it. While there was a generous amount of lobster, the lobster itself was slightly chewy and the overall dish had a somewhat unusual flavor compared to how exceptional it has been before, I noticed the chewy lobster the last time I ordered this dish a couple months ago, but thought maybe it was just an off night. Dessert was unfortunately the biggest disappointment of the evening. I really wanted a scoop of ice cream, something that is included with most of the desserts, and when I asked, I was told the ice cream was not homemade, which was surprising at this level, so I ordered my favorite go-to dessert, the crème brûlée. Sadly, it was completely undercooked and liquid inside. It was more like soup than custard. I rarely order dessert and was really looking forward to it, so this was extremely disappointing. I then ordered the flourless chocolate cake after being told that while the cake isn't made in hothe whipped cream was homemade. While the cake itself was fine, it did not stand out, and the very small amount of whipped cream did not taste homemade, which added to the overall disappointment. At one point while clearing the table, a busboy dropped a dirty spoon that nearly landed on my date's lap. He caught it just in time. I understand accidents happen, but it was still concerning. I was honestly disappointed because I had built Lucia's up so much to him over the years. I wanted him to experience what I have always believed to be the best restaurant in Western New York, and unfortunately, he left feeling disappointed. I want to emphasize that Lucia's has earned my loyalty over the years because the food and service are usually impeccable. The Sea Bass continues to be outstanding and the staff remains top notch. However, this experience and my last visit have unfortunately taken Lucia's from my number one spot. I have the utmost respect for the owner and everything he has built. This review is simply meant as honest feedback. I hope the dessert quality and consistency can be improved to match the exceptional standard of the rest of the restaurant. One employee that stands out each and every time I am at this restaurant, is the bartender named Ryan. He goes above and beyond to always make me feel so welcome and does an amazing job at making the best cocktails. I will absolutely continue to return and look forward to future visits. read more

We dined in for my birthday. It was a beautiful time of day to go, we had a view of the lake out the window and a beautiful sunset. Our server was John A. He was absolutely fantastic. An above and beyond server. He gave us a little scoop of ice cream with a candle while waiting for our to-go dessert; and also his business card for the next time we want to come back! Cider spritzer 8/10 It was a good drink, just wasn't very apple cider flavored to me and definitely did not have a cinnamon sugar rim. Complementary bread 10/10 The bread is fantastic. Fresh and warm. The whipped butter is perfect. And the olive oil/balsamic combo is delicious also. 1/2 dz Prince Edward island oysters 10/10 (special) Perfect, probably the most fresh we've ever had in WNY. The apple cider mignonette was phenomenal, bitter and sweet and a great complement to the oyster. French onion soup 7/10 (special) The soup was good, but I've had better. The broth had a distinct flavor a little different than the typical French onion that I didn't enjoy as much. The crouton had a lovely crunch to it still, and there was plenty of melty cheese on top and onions inside. I also wish that it was a smaller portion, it was a huge crock and can be difficult for one person to eat as an appetizer- definitely big enough to share. 9oz. M-12 A-5 Japanese Wagyu filet 10/10 (special) Medium rare. I have never had wagyu before, and I'm so glad I decided to give it a try! Amazing cut of meat, they do cut it themselves. The cook was so perfect. The crust from the seasoning and sear was fantastic, delicious flavor both inside and out, and I absolutely loved the crispiness of the crust next to the soft tender inside. Pearl onions 10/10 Caramelized beautifully, great flavor. compound butter 10/10 Amazing flavor, and a really great addition to the steak, just adds a touch more savory. Mashed potatoes 10/10 Super simple, and really great flavor. Asparagus 8/10 Average asparagus. I'm not a huge fan of it normally but I tried one, just to see. Short ribs 10/10 Very fall off the bone tender and juicy, with great seasoning, and a really delicious Demi to accompany. U-10 Scallops 10/10 Really good, cooked perfectly, loved the slightly crispy sear on the outside. Parmesan risotto 8/10 The cook on this was perfect, but for the flavor I think it could have been a lot more flavorful. Crème brûlée 10/10 Delicious. The custard was perfect, great flavor, and great consistency. Fresh berries, and a cute little birthday chocolate to garnish! read more

Lucia's is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. I go every year for my birthday and am never disappointed! I had the black cherry whiskey sour which was delicious! I love French onion soup and make it a point to try it everywhere I go if it's in the menu and this one ranks at the top of the list. I deviated from the wagyu steak this time and got the scallops and added a stuffed pepper, which was very good, although I think I'll order the steak next time. For my birthday desert I got the peanut butter pie which was phenomenal and the best I've ever had. Jared was our server and was extremely helpful and friendly! read more

Delicious meal all around. The wine was good sized pours and the bread for the table was hot and came with soft butter and 3 different dips. I got the crab risotto - I thought it would be more lump crab but it was more small pieces. Still very good. My favorite was the flourless chocolate cake. It had rum caramel sauce and sea salt; so good! One tip - they need to make sure their floors are clean/dry near high traffic areas - I slipped and fell lol read more

When talking the best Buffalo has to offer, Lucia's has to be at the top of the list. Both their food and service are top notch, and it's evident they don't cut corners in their preparation. Jared, our waiter was extremely attentive and helpful and deserves a spot on this review. He somehow managed to convince the chef to give my wife a cream sauce from a pasta dish, as a sauce for her steak. Wonderful service! The cocktail list is decent sized, and all sound very tasty. Our Bourbon smash and espresso martinis were very good. The menu is, perhaps, the greatest menu I think I've ever seen. Every dish sounds delicious and it's truly the only negative I have to say, deciding what to order. Amazing seafood, comfort food, and steak options. Our stuffed peppers (with crab meat) were fantastic, and a different take on them unlike the traditional sausage and cheese filled peppers. The Apple cider glazed brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly, and my wife loved their French onion soup (which could have been a meal on its own for the portion) Our steaks were cooked perfectly, and the add-on steak sauces and butters are an excellent touch, like you're eating at a steakhouse. The desert menu is plentiful just like the rest of the menu. With a shot of espresso as an end cap to a terrific dinner. read more

Always one of my favorite spots especially for a special occasion. Dinner consisted of a HUGE French onion soup with a ton of flavor, burrata caprese salad w/ breaded chicken & of course fried cookie dough for dessert. The ambiance here is great, but it is so loud that we could barely hear our server share the specials. I would have expected nothing less on a Friday night. So glad we booked our reservation months in advance! read more

We had such a lovely dinner at Lucia's tonight! We started with cocktails before the meal, and each one was perfectly made--balanced, flavorful, and just right. The cocktail menu isn't huge, but every option sounded tempting. After dinner, the drink list opened up nicely with choices ranging from espresso martinis to classic digestifs, which was a nice surprise. Appetizers were tasty and well done, and the fresh bread service was a great touch that made everything feel welcoming. For our entrées, we tried the halibut with risotto and the short ribs with pappardelle, and both were excellent--seasoned beautifully, generous portions, and full of flavor. In fact, we had enough to bring some home! What really made the night special was our server, Elliott. His service was absolutely outstanding--attentive, friendly, and genuinely professional. He tied the whole experience together and made the evening that much more enjoyable. Overall, Lucia's delivered a delicious meal, great drinks, and wonderful service. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was in town this past weekend and joined a couple who are regulars at Lucia's on the Lake. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of dining room, the sophisticated décor and the incredible Italian-infused menu. I enjoyed meeting co-owner Jay Pasquarella during my visit. He and his partner have managed the restaurant for 10 years. What really impressed me is most of the staff has worked continuously since the restaurant opened. We arrived about 45 minutes early and found a seat at the bar for a large Martini with blue cheese olives. Looking at some of the reviews on Yelp, Lucia's is a favorite of many locals. It's a perfect setting for a special occasion meal, a birthday, an anniversary. When we were first seated, you're served a loaf of complimentary Italian bread, which was warm, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It's served with butter and olive oil with seasonings as a dip. We started our meal with Bang Bang Shrimp and Stuffed Banana Peppers. Two of the favorites I read on Yelp. It was my first-time trying Banana Peppers and I loved them. The peppers are lightly grilled and were mildly spicy. They were stuffed with a three-cheese blend, with Ricotta dominating. Next up one of our guests shared a Chopped Salad with me. Fresh romaine, tomatoes and cucumbers star in this salad. Loved the sweet & sour dressing. For my entrée, I ordered the 12-ounce A5 Certified Japanese Wagyu Ribeye for $139, based on a recommendation from Jay. It should be priced much higher, much like the 32-ounce Prime Tomahawk at $95. It was perfectly seared to a medium doneness. The first few bites were incredibly tender due to the Wagyu's marbling. What surprised me was the amount of fat on my cut of meat. Jay suggested we also order the Gnocchi. It's stuffed with asiago cheese and served with Italian sausage, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Another guest ordered the classic Alaskan Halibut, her favorite entrée on the menu. For dessert, the Salted Chocolate Caramel Pie was the perfect way to close our meal. As much as I enjoyed our meal and the conversation, the pacing of the meal was seriously off. I will say the restaurant was fully booked and had several large tables. Here is the timeline for our meal: * Sat at table at 7:48pm * Starters served at 8:47pm * Salad served at 8:55pm * Entrées served at 9:46pm * Dessert served at 10:16pm Other than our server telling us that the kitchen was really busy, we had no idea the service was going to take so long. For such a high-end restaurant, I was disappointed by the service. That was reflected in my four-star rating. read more

Despite being 3 minutes from home, we haven't been here since the first year they opened, probably because people are always saying it's impossible to get a reservation; Tuesday at 5pm, however, no problem at all. Our reservation was for bar seating, we were seated at a high top in the bar area. We had bang bang calamari as an appetizer and a couple of craft cocktails. Dinner was amazing, plenty of delicious food, the presentation was beautiful (I only snuck 2 pics cause put your phone away!) You know I love leftovers for lunch the next day. They had everything timed perfectly, get you in and out in 90 minutes without feeling rushed. We'll be back soon. read more

We have driven many times past Lucia's on our way to and from Jamestown NY to Buffalo. Until we watched Speil the Wine with Kevin LoVullo we really didn't know much about it. Once we watched his segments we became curious. It does take a while to get a reservation and after going there last evening for an early dinner, I can see why. The moment we walked in the place is aesthetically inviting as are the greeters, wait staff, bartenders, servers, etc. Our server Jared Gugino was one of the nicest informative servers I think we've ever had. Upon Kevin's recommendation, he mentioned that we should ask for the the owner on which we did. Jay Pasquarella the owner was so friendly and gracious. He stopped by to check in out us a few times even though the place was packed. Lastly, may I mention the food? I had the blackened chicken with asparagus risotto, amazing! My husband had jambalaya. As large as his portion was, he almost licked the plate except he knew he had carrot cake on its way to celebrate his birthday. I had to take half of mine home. I'm looking forward to finishing the leftover. One thing we both noticed is that our food came out hot which is not always the case at many restaurants so there was no need to hurry to try and finish. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Jared and Jay for a lovely dining experience. read more

6 years and probably hundreds of visits later, my initial 5 star rating still stands. Food, service, and atmosphere - always top notch, and the view is just absolutely incredible. Can't get a reservation? Show up before 5pm and grab some bar seats and you're bound to meet some friendly regulars who are always striking up interesting conversations. Our forever favorites include the bang bang calamari and pork belly, though the meatballs, truffle fries, and stuffed peppers (get it with the fried egg!) are always great too. If you like shrimp cocktail, you'll be in for a real treat with their enormous colossal shrimp. All the soups and salads are always fresh and delicious, especially the French onion soup and the goat cheese salad or the burrata salad, depending on season. And if you just want a snack to nibble on - the cheese/charcuterie/bread boards are great options too. Our go-to steak entrees are filet mignon and N.Y. strip and if you enjoy truffle, make sure you get the truffle butter! I also love the short ribs and the halibut, and occasionally when I feel like a carb-filled meal - the lobster linguine is my go-to (with a side of lump crab meat). We normally don't have any room for dessert but the Brimley will forever be my favorite... only if they would serve it in 1/4 of the size, I'd probably order it all the time! My current favorite is the lemon ricotta cake, as we're obsessed with everything lemon. It's light and not overly sweet, which is a perfect way to end the meal! There's a recent addition on the side of the building with a second bar and huge windows. Seating is first come first serve and offers a limited menu (apps and salads etc.). The view is even more breathtaking and there's live music on weekends. There's a reason why this place is always packed and seemingly impossible to get a reservation. It's fantabulous!!! read more

Really good food and our fourth/fifth time here. But...the reason we probably won't go back. It's usually pretty loud, but doable. This time it was just too much. We were seated in the back room, which we initially thought was great. There was a table for eight right next to us. A table of four in front and behind us. The noise level in the room was so much, that it ruined our birthday dinner celebration. We kept trying to ignore it, but the table for eight was yelling across to be heard. We couldn't hear ourselves talking to each other. The waitress even had to get down between us to explain the specials. She apologized at the end for how loud it was. The food was very good, but I've had excellent filet at a few other establishments in town. If I'm going out for an upscale meal, I really want a relatively quiet place. I don't mind hustle and bustle near the bar, but we were two rooms away. Maybe they could make that back room tables for two or four only??? read more

Amazing dining experience. Our first time at this beautiful restaurant. Located on Lake Erie, with a view of the sunset that you cannot imagine - but the real joy happened when we entered Lucia's. We felt welcomed - by the hostess; the bartender ; the server; and the manager! The food was delicious. I had the salmon special: Asian flare with fresh vegetables. It was incredible.

My meal was just OK. It was very bland and it had lump crab and shrimp and pasta, but they had very cooked strawberries mandarin oranges in it which I did not expect I took them out. I needed to put Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to make it better I just think when you spend that much money, you would expect great food and a quieter experience not so crowded so many tables in the room it was loud ! the high light of the evening they had a new room at the end all windows that you could actually enjoy a drink. And watch the sunset I would suggest anybody that goes there to order the meat dishes It seems like the meat would be a better choice. My husband had the pork chop he loved it read more

We have always enjoyed dinner when we visit lucias. Consistently good food and the service is ok as well

We enjoyed everything about our experience at Lucia's. We were fortunate enough to book a last minute reservation on Valentine's Day weekend and stopped in for a visit while in the area. We were greeted so kindly by the hostess who instantly made me feel incredibly welcome. We had no wait and were given an amazing seat with the best view of the lake. Our waiter, Thomas, was also very kind and attentive. He offered us suggestions and outline the specials of the evening. We started with the bang bang shrimp. These are amazing. We also ordered crab cakes, and the pork belly. My husband enjoyed the pork belly, but I would probably skip the crab cakes next time and stick with the bang bang shrimp. The drinks were good and strong as well. For our entrees, we had the lobster ravioli and the filet mignon. I really enjoyed the lobster ravioli, and found the serving of lobster was plentiful. Our server suggested adding extra on the side, but it was not needed. I did add on brussel sprouts, but they weren't seasoned well and tasted lackluster. My husband enjoyed his filet immensely. He paired it with a side of truffle fries which were delicious. We can't wait until our next visit. The food was awesome and worth the hype. read more

I came here for the first time on December 4th to enjoy a Christmas dinner in celebration of the women in our office. The inside was bustling with energy from guests and servers alike. The overall decor is elegant and tasteful just as I expected. We started off with a few appetizers: The Bang Bang Shrimp, Spinach Artichoke Dip and a charcuterie plate that was a special. The shrimp was huge! The spinach dip was delicious (nothing that stood out from other spinach artichoke dips I've had at other restaurants) and the charcuterie board was massive with a little bit of something for everyone. My only complaint about the charcuterie board was that the cheeses and meats weren't labeled. For dinner I ordered the Lobster Linguini and added four scallops onto it (go big or go home, right?). This dish was phenomenal to say the least! The amount of lobster is insane, and the scallops were seared to perfection! I would recommend this dish one hundred times over with or without the addition of the scallops. Our server, Jared was great and very attentive to our group. I can't wait to go back in the summer and experience the amazing view in person!!! read more

As always, Lucia's does not disappoint. We came in with a $200 gift card and left stuffed and very happy. We were able to get five different appetizers as well as two scallop entrees for $200 which I thought was very impressive. Everything was delicious except for the crab bread which was a little bit fishy and we probably wouldn't order that again but otherwise would order everything else! The scallop dish was our favorite part but everything was amazing. Our server was particularly fantastic and really could read the vibe of each table he was serving. This has become my favorite restaurant locally and I'll continue to come back here. read more

Lucia's on the Lake offers scenic views of Lake Erie and offers upscale dining perfect to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or for a date night. While most diners were dressed up, not everyone was. We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary after hearing such great things about their food from friends, and seeing them on Spiel the Wine. We enjoyed a fantastic dinner and had a great experience overall. Everyone we interacted with was professional. For an appetizer, we shared the stuffed hot banana peppers which were served over garlic bread. That was delicious but almost filling by itself. For my entree I had the halibut special which was served over crab risotto. It was incredibly flavorful and I took half of it home since I was full from the peppers. We ordered 2 slices of key lime pie to go, and our waiter gave us a little candle since we were celebrating our anniversary. We also ordered a bottle of Dr. Frank's Riesling, a favorite of ours. Really appreciative to see a Finger Lakes wine on their wine menu. Highly recommend! read more

I would like to give this place 4.5 stars, with only deducting half a star for the espresso martini I ordered and being seated right next to the loud bar. This was our first time here and which happened to be on NYE. We booked our reservation earlier in the year as this appears to be one of the hardest places to get a reservation at. When we arrived, we found parking, were seated immediately, and our waiter was one of the best I've had in the States. In fact, I can only think of another place in Buffalo where our waiter/waitress was genuinely good and personable. We were seated at a two person table right next to the bar and right next to the speaker. This made is extremely hard to communicate, though I'd expect it to be quieter when it wasn't the night of NYE. A couple of staff strongly suggested a couple of their cocktails, but I decided to order an espresso martini. My wife ordered one of the suggestions they recommended, and it was awesome. My espresso martini was surely one the worst espresso martini I've ever had. It was basically Kahlua in a martini glass and with three coffee beans for $14. We ordered the calamari, which was perfectly prepared with a perfect concoction of garlic and peppers. Both our entrees were also very good and with nothing to complain about. This made for a good end to our 2024 and a perfect date night. I would definitely come back with my wife, though I would suggest ordering anything but the espresso martini. read more

Came for our anniversary and had a great dinner. We've seen the restaurant on Spiel the Wine many times and had been wanting to go here for a while. Figured our anniversary would be the time. Service was great and the menu had a nice variety of options. I splurged and got a wagyu ribeye which was delicious. There were a few seafood options I wanted to try as well but had never had wagyu so I went with that. The wine list was good and included some NY wines including Dr Frank. read more

If you get the opportunity to eat here do it!! The food was absolutely delicious. Yes it is a bite pricey but honestly worth every penny. They do not skimp on the seafood at all in these dishes ! To start we got the charcuterie board which was beautiful. It has a variety of cheeses (blueberry goat cheese was outstanding), meats, fruits, honey etc. It was great for a table of four. We also shared the lobster poutine which was a special but should become a permanent item on the menu. And I got the clam chowder which was good but standard in comparison. For entrees I got the filet au poivre which was a special as well and the sauce and toppings were great. The flavor was perfect and cooked to temperature too. Others at the table got the lobster ravioli, crab bucitini and lobster linguine. All of their meals were huge. Everyone had a ton of leftovers! Not to mention the views were spectacular for sunset. Only thing to note is that it can be extremely difficult to get a reservation so book well in advance ! read more

Great service, lake views, and a lively atmosphere. Very nice ambience with a great bar area. Unfortunately the food was either hit or miss. The stuffed banana peppers were the best I've ever had and the meatballs were really good. For the mains, the bolognese was bland and not authentic. The seafood linguine would've been really good if the pasta and sauce weren't bland. However, the scallops in the dish were absolutely terrific. The Artic char special was a big miss. The fish sat on a bed of mushy "risotto." We got two desserts, both great. We plan on returning and are hoping that the main dishes were ordered just had off night. Next time we'll stick to the nice offering of prime and wagyu steaks. read more

Well I finally got to try this restaurant. A lot of my friends and I find it frustrating to get a reservation. The view is great. Their Bang Bang Shrimp were spot on. My wife loved her beet salad. Next came our entrees. I had the Lobster linguine and she had the shrimp and scallop linguine. Neither of us were impressed! My lobster tail was tough and over cooked and the dish lacked flavor. Her Shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly but again the linguine was lackluster. Next we had theirBrinkley Dessert. Big enough for 4 . Four large scoops of ice cream with deep fried cookie dough and brownie with Oreo cookies and chocolate and caramel sauce . My wife, the dessert expert, wanted more chocolate syrup. Service was the best I've had in a long time. The view is terrific. I read where a lot of people thought it was over priced and didn't think so compared with other higher end restaurants. read more

The food wasn't great great, the lobster was shit, the pasta was bland as hell, yall need to at least put something else that tastes good on or even in the pasta, I did appreciate the service the waiter was pretty nice but yet like the other reviews I'd rather have my appetizers and drinks to come at the same time, the ambience, Jesus, it was way too loud and not as nice as it should be, maybe a noise limit should be added, people need to definitely know how to act but that's on them, other than that it was okay. Oh and they didn't tell us about the rip off of a tip which I'm expecting that to come back. read more

My family members and I went on a Wednesday with reservations made about two months ahead of time. It was packed when we arrived. We waited a few minutes before we were seated. The waitress was very friendly and gave us a good amount of time to review the menu before we ordered. We first ordered the poutine and arancini for apps. I went with the scallop risotto for my entree. Everything was delicious! The roasted pistachios on the risotto took it to another level. As usual, the meal was fantastic and I cannot wait to go back! read more
