    All of the tapas we ordered was excellent!!! The chef’s charcuterie board- phenomenal. We had both cold octopus salad & grilled octopus over corn puree!!!! Both were outstanding! The steak with mushroom foam!!! I will dream about this dish. Tuna tartare & squash soup are so so yummy! Our server, Christina, so sweet & fantastic! Drinks were great. I gave a lower score on ambience due to the fact their HVAC as malfunctioning & it was cold in the restaurant. Definitely returning for more!!!

    Everything was epic, except I loathe when am establishment puts a mandatory tip, and then gives you a receipt with a tip line without telling/reminding you that there was already a tip on the bill. Luckily, my husband pointed it out. I consider it a shady practice. Will be back, just hoping for a different wait staff.

    What stood out for our Lure experience was the service. Our server was fantastic, and the manager came over to ensure our specialty drink order and gluten free option was made according to our specifications. It's people and relations that make so much of life really enjoyable, including restaurant life, and Lure seems to understand this concept quite well. The food was very good as well. Highly recommend the sea bass.

    First time and it was great! Our server was very attentive and did a great job of explaining the menu and answering any questions we had. Was it pushy and gave us just the right amount of time between entrées. Fun, lively atmosphere.
