Lucques

Just had my first dinner at Lucques last week. What a wonderful evening! Started off with a Pot O’Gold cocktail, which happened to taste exactly like an iced Hot Toddy. Next time I would try a different cocktail for that reason alone. SO had a Tanq and Tonic – fantastic!

I started with a lima bean salad – pretty presentation with nice flavors. Main course was stellar – Prosciutto wrapped Guinnea Hen. Heaven! Easy to tell the hen had been brined as its meat was so full of juicy flavor. Hen was served with a warm ricotta cake (kind of odd – I didn’t care for it much) as well as sausage stuffing. Thumbs up!

Dessert was nice… I’ll be honest… by the time our sweets came around I’d had a bit of wine and don’t remember them so well. One was a date cake that actually tasted like Tiramisu, and the other was something chocolate.

Great atmosphere, great service, good to great food – would definitely try again.
