It was my anniversary dinner with my girlfriend and I'd indicated we were celebrating on the online reservation site. This staff here did something I've never seen before, they all signed a card waiting for us at the table when we arrived. Every person greeted us with well wishes. This was mine and my girlfriend's first time in Delaware, a really wonderful day trip at Rehoboth, and yet, despite spending the whole day enjoying ourselves, this restaurant and the staff were all we could talk about on the three hour drive home. To summarize: -food, magnificent (she had the Coquilles St. Jacques and I the Halibut. The Chanbord cake was also a wonderful standout) -atmosphere, beautiful and romantic -staff, perhaps the best we've ever met. You can tell every single person there cares

I decided I wanted to have my birthday dinner at Ristorante LUCCA so we made the reservation…read more It was a really rainy night so we were thrilled when we saw they had complimentary valet parking. Walking in the hostesses greeted us and asked to take our coats and umbrellas. They were very complimentary of us and also gave me a single stem rose when they heard it was my birthday. Walking to our table we were able to take in the overall beauty and romantic ambiance in every room which was exactly what I hoped for. Our waiter and the staff were very attentive throughout the night and wanted to ensure we wanted for nothing. The food from the complimentary bread, olive, olive oil and prosciutto to the cocktails to the entrees and cannoli for dessert were a 10/10! We had not a single recommendation for improvement. After dinner we popped into the piano lounge for a night cap and to listen to the band. The lounge itself is sooo chic and plush!!! And the wait staff and bartenders are all top tier...they truly know how to create and overall start to finish fine dining experience. Oh and the band was fun! They asked for (& got) crowd participation which was fun to watch. This was 100% an overall romantic and fun fine dining experience and we already said we're coming back!

I'm updating my review on Restaurante Lucca for two reasons. The first reason is because I learned…read morea valuable lesson in this process, a lesson about people a lesson about business and a lesson about just being kind to one another. I go out of my way to give more good reviews than bad. But at the end of the day the truth is the is the truth. But also your opinion. But like mother said if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I own my own business so I know what it's like to get a bad review when you didn't deserve it and as a business owner, it hurts specially when you're trying your best unfortunately there's people out there who go around just looking to hurt businesses for whatever reason and they have no clue what the impact can be on that business, but the impact is very strong. The restaurant business it's quite different because a lot of times Managment will come around and asked you. How was your meal or your overall experience but the problem is most of them are just asking, and they really don't care. They asked you when your mouth is full, and you can't give a full accurate answer. They are just going through the motions. So I think that makes it hard for the restaurant industry. So this leads me to my second reason for updating my review. I was contacted by Upper management of this restaurant and they truly cared about what I had to say they listened we talked and it reminded me how I treat my own business because my policy is my door is always open. I don't care what the problem is. I will do my best to try to fix it and that's exactly what I got from Restaurante Lucca. They went above and beyond to address my concerns And to make myself and my family feel better about our second experience at their restaurant. So with that being said, I recommend if you're in the Bordentown area you give this restaurant a try. they have a new menu and it was excellent. My family and I will be looking to return for a third time. I want to say thank you to the staff who treated myself and my family very well and Managment for not just listening, but taking action.

This place shouldn't be dead on a Saturday night in the summer. There was so much potential for T…read moreStreet to be an exciting and popular spot, possibly helping to revive AC. The new nightclub, WAV, was open that night. I had no interest in clubbing, but noticed an email offering free and discounted cover. About a dozen people sat around Monkey Bar. A sign said that the dueling piano bar would be open at 10pm. Everything else appeared closed. Garces is no longer handling the catering. The website sucks so I don't know what the deal with the T Street food is. It should have been a lively, hot scene rather than a desolate ghost town. I'd love to be proved wrong with this review update, but for now I won't be holding my breath.

They offered sample sizes of some of the food they plan to offer and it was nothing to write home about. In fact so much so that I'll leave the food details at just that. It's what I expect to be overpriced pub food (price list or menu wasn't given to us) and with several locations it didn't feel as if any actually offered a variety of food. Pub, pub, everywhere. The concept is there but T Street offers no form of originality that makes it worth going to in place of similar places. In fact, with the location in a mall I actually felt that the venue and placement was a bit awkward. While there is no place quite like it in Atlantic City I don't find that it'll be a location to really drive in visitors. Let's face it, AC is a dying city and well in need of attractions to bring tourists and money back into the area. Perhaps when it's completely finished it will better represent the vision. I personally felt the venue was one-dimensional and for the amount of space could've offered a greater variety of music/food to fit various preferences. For now, I can say the live music is a nice addition. In some places it was played so deafeningly loud that it was difficult to really sit, eat and converse if that's what you chose to do. However, If that's your scene you'll likely enjoy it but its also worth noting that the majority of music was country/bluegrass. The drinks were okay. There were no specialty drinks/menu offered but the bartenders were friendly and knowledgeable at preparing classics. As of right now this is not on my must do list for when I visit AC and doubt it will ever be. However, I will be fair and return when the venue is completely finished and possibly update my review.

I've been a frequent regular here for quite some time. This is a long review because I have a heap…read moreof compliments and then a serious complaint/request. First of all, it's important to understand that this place is literally our Blue Note. I don't say that casually, I lived in NYC for 15 years and was a regular at Blue Note. I am a massive jazz nerd and I live around the corner so I come here very often, but it's objectively far superior to the other jazz clubs in the city in terms of both booking and food. The music is a range, sometimes it's local (incl NYC) guys, but they also get a ton of the upper-middle tier, who are not household names, but are outright celebrities to jazz fans. Blue Note opts for the household names and won't book those guys, which is why Chris's is better. But just in the last 6-8 months, off the top of my head, I've seen Nate Henderson (at least 3x), Cyrus Chestnut, Eric Alexander, Emmet Cohen, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Joe Farnsworth, Peter Bernstein, and John Pizzarelli. At the same venue!! If you're into jazz you will understand how completely nuts that is. NYC could never. You would have to go to half a dozen venues and spend several business days on the subway to see that list in NYC. The food is also ridiculously good, reliably some of the best upscale food in CC imo. Frequently rotating menu (a good thing!), very creative, unbelievably good, and artistically plated. It is expensive, but if you do the dinner + show package it's much cheaper, and while the portions are not huge, you don't want to eat much more than that or you'll want to be lying down on the floor during the show. My complaint here is about the noise. Based on personal experience and some of the reviews I've read, there are people who don't understand that in the evening hours this is a ticketed music venue where people are here to see serious and often really well known musicians. A large portion of these musicians are not random local kids. There is a strong possibility that the person you're trying to talk over is very famous to people who like jazz. There is a cover charge because it's a music venue. There is a minimum purchase requirement because it's a music venue. If your intent is to have a full on conversation with your friends with random jazz vibes going on in the background, there are many other places in the city for that. Due to the acoustics of the space, when people are doing this even in the bar/high top area by the door, that sound carries and is overwhelmingly loud near the stage (as in literally it can overwhelm the music) and actively ruins the show for both the patrons and the musicians. It's super disrespectful. I've seen many shows that were totally ruined by this, and several to the point where patrons were cussing out the waitresses over it and the musicians were getting on the mic telling people to be quiet because they can't focus. I really wish they would include a request for people to keep talking to a minimum during performances in their set-opening announcement on the loudspeaker. It would be a simple way to set expectations ahead of time. This is the only reason for 3 stars - if they were to address this issue I would not even be able to give this place sufficient stars. 5 would not be enough. But that's how frustrating this issue is.

If you're looking for more than just a delicious dinner this is a great spot! The jazz club was…read moreintimate but wonderful. Top notch talent. Staff was friendly and on point from beginning to end. They do take the dress code seriously, I saw people get turned away for athletic wear. It's clear on their website and not asking too much for an upscale night out. Prices weren't ridiculous, especially since portions were plentiful. A lot of people were leaving with leftovers. The specialty drinks are a bit pricey tho. The cornbread and Mac n cheese are a must order the moment you sit down to start things off. Both served in a small skillet, perfect to share. The cornbread bread was flavorful and the butter that comes on top you def want to let that melt right in! The Mac n cheese noodles were a little softer than I would of preferred but the blend of cheeses and the crisp crust on top made me not worry about the doneness of the noodles, it was top notch! We went classic with the entrees - catfish with gulf shrimp. The catfish was cooked perfect super tender and flaky. I wasn't thrilled with the shrimp, for "gulf shrimp" as they listed in the menu they were a lot Smaller than I expected and a little tough. The sauce they came in was nice. I would have liked some kind of sauce on the side for the catfish. The collard green rice was delicious and the broccoli that came with it was prob the most delicious broccoli I've ever had, just cooked well in lots of butter! The other entree we got was the fried chicken. Really delicious and tender. It came with a sweet potato side that was yummy and a classic collard greens Even tho we were stuffed we had to try the bread pudding, it was served with a Side of delicious ice cream. The bread pudding was perfect! I would definitely return even just to eat and try more menu items but the jazz club is a must do! Beautifully decorated and classy establishment all around

Our server was very sweet, and got our drink orders in. When she brought the drinks, we put our order in. This is where things started to go wrong. The lemonade seemed like it had no sugar in it, and so our party needed to add our own. After a little while, our food order started to arrive. The steak frites was yummy; well seasoned and with a nice, rich sauce. The fries were lack luster, and could have been a bit fresher. The quesadilla was served in a pool of grease. The mac and cheese was yummy, but the ordered chicken was missing entirely. It took us a while to get the server's attention, but it seemed the chicken had been sitting in the kitchen waiting that entire time as it came back very quickly. The pasta's onions were also not peeled properly, and some of the papery skin was in the dish. It was a cool place with a neat vibe, and we had high hopes. But there were enough things going wrong to really make me to want a repeat trip.
