Great French onion soup. Service was terrible, having to flag down the waitstaff every time. Sat outside and felt largely ignored. Had the pork and it wasn’t good.

Food was fair at best. Service was lacking, you practically had to beg for a drink. The worst is that we were overcharged and never refunded. We asked to speak to the manager who never came out to talk to us. We received numerous stories and assurances the problem would be resolved. Numerous calls and no return call or email. This happened to others in our group. Horrible I would not recommend this even if you stay at the Colonnade

Nice location at Colonnade hotel. Ribs appetizer was delicious- enough for at least 2 people to share. Bolognese was disappointing- not very flavorful. Nice staff although they sometimes took longer than expected for simple requests like cream for the coffee - the room is big so maybe they had to cover lots of tables?

This is a barely adequate restaurant but the only place left to sit and dine without going to one of the bad chains at the mall before Huntington or a music performance. It is essentially never full which speaks to its lack of adequacy. Was apparently designed for 30 yos who like beer and bar snacks. The chef seems to try but the menu is so disjointed and they obviously are not appealing to their target audience

I hate to say it, but we had just finished eating and a mouse ran by us on the floor. Not a very happy ending to our visit! The service was good, the food was ok, but seeing a live mouse run across the floor was not ok.

Lucie is a very dependable location for a pre-Symphony Hall dinner, just a quick 5-7 minute walk away. The restaurant is spacious, attractively modern, well-lit, and best of all not noisy even when quite full (huge side benefit!) The drinks and food are dependably good, and the waitstaff 100% pleasant, knowledgeable, and accommodating of all requests. We have enjoyed two dinners there, and will likely return.

Service was fine and it’s a cute environment, but the quality of the food and drinks was disappointing. My partner and I both got hot chocolate ($7 each), and they came as mugs of lukewarm milk with an undissolved pile of Swiss Miss powder at the bottom… the overall price for the quality was just significantly mismatched.

Amazing!!!! I was visiting the city and found this place. The whole concept was adorable. The food was also amazing!

My appetizer (Beet Salad) and entree (Salmon) were good, unfortunately the drink menu was not appealing nor did the dessert menu offer any unique items, all can be found at other restaurants. While forgivable, the service was one of the worst experiences, drive-thru service at a fast-food restaurant is superior. There are definitely better options within the area, I suggest checking one of those out instead.

Horrible servers!! waited 30 minutes for coffee after the waitress told me she would be back in 5 minutes. went to find the waitress in the coffee area texting on her phone. got yelled at by 2 other waitresses with their hands in my face. threatening and abusive behavior. Dave the manager pretended he was the manager of the hotel staff next door only to be told by the hotel staff that he didn't work for the hotel. Dave was reluctant to give his name at first by the way. there is no reason to eat at this place unless you want your day ruined.
Wait staff is slow. Sat at 12:45 got water and asked for drinks at 1:10. Then did not take order until 1:20. Empty glasses at 1:30. Had to go to hostess stand to find our server. My tuna tar tar was subpar - there was so much avocado and about 1/8 of a cup of tuna. Returned - manager was rude and said “well you already ate a lot” I'm no I didn't that's all I was given. Overall disappointed. I rarely write reviews but buyer beware on this one.

Food: fair... steak frites overcooked, swordfish au poivre was completely overwhelmed with pepper. Service: inattentive, slow, appetizers were delivered to wrong table before being hastily moved. Value: wildly overpriced for what it is.

Somewhat frustrating that we were on time for our reservation and there were open tables but we didn't get seated for 10 min. Our server got our order right but was very non-communicative — dropped off my drink with no word about why other drinks didn't come at the same time (some else did drop them off). Food choices were good and lots of GF options listed. When my dish arrived, my fries were cool. I would go back — location near NU and symphony make it a good location but there is room for improvement.

Same space occupied by Brasserie Jo for many years. Wish they were still here. Pleasant atmosphere, tables not crowded. Wild mushroom lasagna quite good. Chicken paillard, served only warm, and on a cold plate. No carb included but good bread served, and excellent side salad. Server somewhere between lackluster and distracted, had to ask one of supervisors to "find our wine."

Drinks and food were great. The server, Connor, was very good at coming around to check on us. We really liked the environment and found it to be a nice setting for conversation. We'll be back for sure
