Lucky's was such a cute way to kick off our Hamptons getaway and celebrate our anniversary. We were able to snag a last-minute 5 PM reservation and were seated in a cozy corner that felt intimate, elegant, and very date-night worthy.
I'll be honest, our interaction with the hostess when we first arrived felt a little awkward and had me wondering how the night was going to go. Thankfully, our waitress Lauren completely turned that around. She was warm, attentive, gave great recommendations, and truly made our dinner feel special. She was definitely the MVP of the night!
We caught Lucky Hour and tried the Mr. Lucky tequila cocktail and the sliders, which were really good. The sliders are nice and thick, so if you're particular about the temperature of your ground beef, I'd recommend specifying how you like them cooked.
For dinner, I had the half roasted chicken, which was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy with a simple seasoning that really let the chicken speak for itself. The gravy was very flavorful. My boyfriend had the burger, and honestly, his fries ended up being one of the stars of the table. Piping hot, perfectly seasoned, and dipped into that chicken gravy? Yeah...I stole them and we basically switched sides.
I ordered the mac and cheese, which was good but a little too rich and thick for my taste alongside the chicken. Lauren had suggested the broccolini, and in hindsight, I should've listened to her!
And I cannot forget the warm freshly baked rolls and butter- perfection.
What started off a little awkward ended up being such a memorable dinner. Between the cozy atmosphere, really good food, and Lauren's amazing service, Lucky's helped set the tone for such a nice Hamptons getaway. Definitely a cute spot for a romantic date night or special occasion. read more
