"Come to Luc’s on a spring or summer evening and sit on their patio, and you’ll be transported to Paris, even though you’re eating right next to a parking lot of Suburbans and Porsches. Just face away from the vehicles and soak in the flower beds, the twinkling string lights, and the live guitar player while sipping on a Gabrielle spritz (their signature cocktail with St. Germain and crémant). And if the patio is full, the quaint, cozy basement dining room with stone walls and daily specials handwritten on a chalkboard feels equally Parisian. You can very easily fill up on the free table bread and butter, but make sure to save room for a cheese board appetizer and an entree—the chicken is simple but seasoned perfectly, and the sole filet is served in a butter-heavy sauce you’ll be wiping off your chin all night long. photo credit: Sam Schwab" - Ciera Velarde
