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.
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.

I always have high expectations of Lucy's and they are always met. This time was no different. The wait staff, the food, the atmosphere - everything was great. The Ethiopian Curry appetizer was a flavor feast of spices, potatoes, carrots, and flat bread - almost enough for a full entree. The beef burgundy was perfectly cooked as well, with a lovely, light puff pastry and an excellently seasoned gravy that complemented the meat and vegetables. Finally, the Paris Brest dessert is something that truly must be experienced to be appreciated. Thanks again, Lucy's, for an excellent dining experience.
My friends and I had a lovely luncheon. The service by Adrian was great and the food was excellent. The atmosphere is very pleasant and I love the decor and the new chairs. The menu offered is always different than what you would get in a regular restaurant. Thank you
Our student server was sensitive to our allergies when we mentioned them and remembered them throughout the meal. When one late-arriving guest mentioned she needed to stay away from fish, the server gave her the complimentary appetizer sans the fish. Sometimes the meat dishes aren't always cooked well enough and the tea bag is too small for the large pot they use--so a larger or different tea is needed. However, I still love Lucy's and enjoy their creative menu.
Lucy's is a fine dining room run by the University of Alaska-Anchorage culinary program. It is staffed by students in the program who are learning aspects of the restaurant biz, but the students are well trained and enthusiastic, hoping to provide a good customer experience. And they succeeded! The food was first-rate, from the fresh rolls to the outstanding desserts. Service was leisurely, the ambience relaxed, the value was very good. Check out Lucy's web site for the menu. Hours are limited but if you want a nice lunch experience in midtown Anchorage, consider going to Lucy's!
