Luciles joins the list of places that used to be great and are now horrible. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I frequented them for years when I lived in Denver and then would make semi regular, nearly hour long drives after I moved away. I am not kidding when I say it used to be great. Unfortunately, it has gone down hill. We visited twice last year and both times, the food was awful. Not only was it cold, the trout wasn't cooked all the way through. We ordered a Bloody Mary and asked about it after our waiter had disappeared for 30 minutes. He says, "Oh, it's been sitting at the bar this whole time" (we are at a table, not the bar), then brings a watered down drink that had indeed been sitting for 30 minutes, and charged us for it. So... we decided to take a break. Fast forward to last weekend- it's our anniversary and we think that perhaps those two visits last year were just off days- it happens. Unfortunately, this is not the case. This time, though our server was awesome, the salmon was overcooked and dry, the grits were soupy and my egg was cooked wrong. My buscuit was cold and my boyfriend's omelet was seriously gross. No flavor in any dish. The only thing I finished was the orange juice and even that isn't as good as it used to be. This place has become so disappointing and just not worth the visit. We're done giving the benefit of the doubt. It's clear that cutting corners is the most important thing to this establishment. No care or quality anymore. Seriously, save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else. Luciles ownership- do better.

Wait staff are ALWAYS as attentive as they can be, even with a full house they make you feel like family.The drinks SLAP and even the mimosas are strong!My partner and I come here on the regular- Even though we moved about 30 minutes away, it's worth the drive ?
We brought my 93 yr old mother to breakfast we were dropped off at the curb so she wouldn't have to walk far as the handicap space was taken. The hostess would not seat us until "everyone was in the building. This is the policy". I understand why you have the policy so you don't take up tables waiting for people who are meeting others and so they take up the table longer than needed. However, please educate your staff in the spirit of policies and that there are exceptions to be made

A great Sunday morning brunch. We went after church and were able to get there before the morning rush. Food was good! I especially enjoyed the shrimp and grits. Service was quick. I wish they would have had a kids menu but we just split an order of pancakes and fruit.

Award winning Beignets, delicious main courses, and even a fine quick stop for grits and coffee with chicory! Atmosphere is rich with New Orleans details, art and a musical theme.

We waited a very long time to eat here usually was really packed and the wait was crazy however we were immediately sat and we’re not impressed the waitress spoke very fast and neglected to tell us essential stuff like where to find utensils the food was pretty but a lot or meals we agreed we could make at home was not very flavorful we sat in the back area cold and kind of ignored can’t say I’ll just go rushing back here unfortunately

The biscuits here are some of the best I ever had. The service was wonderful and the trout and eggs was cooked to perfection.

LOUISIANA is far away, and this is my favorite Creole restaurant in Denver. Perfect Bagnets, homemade jams, and biscuits.
