Great Service, funny waiter

by morganps at Citysearch

My wife & I were in Lexington (live in Louisville) last weekend, & had dinner on the patio. Our server, Lonny, made our experience spectacular! The food was pretty good too! When we asked Lonny for suggestions, he mentioned that the buttermilk quail was the signature dish as it had been written up in the Southern Living magazine. I decided to forgo the filet and try the quail. I was not disappointed. My wife also enjoyed the halibut special. The waiter was prompt, attentive, and had a dry sense of humor - which we enjoyed.

We will eat @ a la Lucies next time we are in Lexington! So will our friends!

• Pros: Good food - great service
• Cons: Couln not find any.

Horrible Service

by brittneyskittles at Citysearch

I usually don't write reviews, but this will be an exception. My boyfriend took me here based on a friends recommendation. It was our prom night, and this was the only bad part. Our waitress was rude, the food (which was good, by the way) took forever, our bread was hard, could not get a refill. You'd think my boyfriend and I were asking them to bend over backwards for a refill of iced tea. It was overpriced, we ordered two salads, a steak and a chicken entree, and one piece of cheesecake for 80 bucks. When the waitress got a not so great tip she followed my boyfriend outside and told him he was stealing her service. I suppose since we are teenagers she thought she might be able to get my with it. He was very polite to her but she insisted that if we were so cheap maybe we ought to eat at a cheaper restaurant. We asked to speak to a manager, and it turns out that they don't have a manager, and Lucie has not been in. I have had better service at a fast food place. The room was also in dire need of attention, it looked worn out and some of it was just plain tacky. I will not be going back.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: overpriced, bad service

Great Atmosphere!

by lhb1020 at Citysearch

Me and my boyfriend wanted to get out one night and we had been hearing great things about a la lucie so decided to go there. I personally loved the atmosphere and the service was great. We both ordered the smoke salmon, I thought it was great, but my boyfriend thought it was a little too salty, oh well you can't please everyone! It was a little pricey but i thought it was well worth it.

• Pros: atmosphere and service
• Cons: different taste
