Outstanding place to have dinner. It is a bit on the loud side, especially in back bar area, but the food and service are first class.

Their mains are amazing!! My boyfriend got the prime strip steak and I got the twin lobster and it was the best we’ve had. Lucia’s does a great main dish, the sides are slighty underwhelming though. I don’t go here for the sides so I don’t mind as much and I still rated it well! The only thing I wish is that they made the gf options more clear, made it harder to order because we didn’t know what options we had.
