Excellent meal. Enjoyed the beef wellington which was cooked to perfection. The dessert buffet was a treat. Such creative yummy desserts.

I could not have been happier. Our server, Anthony, was excellent. Jaylen (I think that was his name) prepared the salad to perfection. My only complaint was that the instructor called out one of the guys for forgetting to bring pepper, embarrassing him right in front of us. Do your chastising in private, please. Other than that, it was beyond belief.

Always a pleasure to get a reservation for this unique dining venue. Enjoying the creations from the culinary arts students is always a delight. We enjoyed all the fall/winter options, especially the ceviche and the duck.

I am a fan of the Culinary Arts Program. I acknowledge that it a opportunity for the students to have the experience of all facets of the operation. I recognize was doing the best he could do at the time. He was looking forward to his next assignment.

Amazing! So fun to try the unique offerings from students and their esteemed professor. Highly recommend, especially Fridays!

Perfection! Wonderful atmosphere, quality service-Thank you Sparkle-and outstanding food offerings.
I wish I took pictures. We sampled as much as we could. Reservations for 11:45 service was good music and mood was terrific. It felt so good to support UAA and receive incredible food. If you have time go and support your local school

We had previously had a great lunch here last month. This time we decided to visit the dessert buffet so we just ordered appetizers. The dishes were flavorful and beautifully plated. The dessert buffet selections were varied, delicious and decorated so professionally. They were comparable to those in a high end bakery.
As always the food is amazing; beautifully presented, colorful, greasy and delicious. The dessert bar is fantastic and seasonally themed. Usually the service is perfect, this time, not so much. Much slower, inconsistent and less personable, our rolls were missed and the soup/salad arrived with the entree. Other tables seemed more spot on and there was plenty of wait staff so maybe our server just had a bad day

Two of the four of us had the Croque Monsier sandwich. The chicken was dry and overcooked. The bread was dry and crumbly. Overall the sandwich was nothing to brag about. I've had much better meals at Lucy's. Service was great as usual.

The overall experience was good. Some improvement could be with the timeliness of service. Our bread basket came out right before the meal instead of earlier on at lunch. Also, the orders were taken after about 15-20 minutes of being seated. The best thing was the food which was delicious, full of flavor and had great presentation. I look forward to dining there again soon.

Very impressed with the quality of the food and the wide variety of ingredients used. So pleased that we may have future chefs who hopefully will be able to think outside the box and try new flavors and ingredients

The only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars on everything is that our food came out 25 minutes apart. I had ordered a salad & soup as my lunch and my coworker ordered the beef. Hers came out 25-30 minutes after mine. I finished my lunch before she even got hers. Very disappointing in that regard. All else was top notch.
