LUCIE drink + dine

I had a wonderful time and experience at Lucie. The Chef was so helpful in explaining how he prepared his food. The staff was courteous and kind. The bartender made phenomenal drinks. The food was spectacular I recommend the Mussels ,the Prawn special and the Lucie 75.The warm skillet chocolate chip cookie is worth the 15 minute wait.

Brunch for my niece's Bachelorette weekend was underwhelming at best. Service for 10 started out well enough and the restaurant was not busy. Server brought everyone's coffees and waters but didn't return to the table after taking our orders. After 40+/- minutes I went to the hostess stand to inquire. Almost immediately our waitress appeared w our orders. Eggs Benedict plates very overcooked, over easy eggs on 2 others plates cooked solid and cold. Some of the girls seemed fine with their food but definitely not overly impressed. I, personally, would not go back. I know our food probably sat in the kitchen for 20 minutes or more and we were forgotten. I wasn't even going to complain because at that point I figured we'd be there another hour.

I don’t want to say the service here was bad, but I’ve had faster responses from my ex after a breakup. 20 minutes for water? Really? I felt like I could’ve walked to a glacier, chiseled out some ice, and waited for global warming to melt it faster than getting a refill. And don’t even get me started on the food spoiled avocados in the tartare? Look, I know I signed up for a raw dish, but not a dish that tasted like it had been left raw since the Reagan administration. Then there’s the upstairs ‘luxury’ rooms. For $400 a night, I was expecting something fancy. What I got was Motel 6 with a trust fund. I’m pretty sure the thread count on the sheets was lower than the room temperature. If you want to experience the most overpriced stay of your life while waiting for water like you’re in the Sahara, this is the place! Bon appétit!

Good food selection and extensive drink list. Amazing service from Gaby. The maple bourbon wings were the best thing we had. We ordered quite a lot of things. My only down size was the fact that everything came all at once and as you try to finish one dish, the others get cold. Mind you it was only two of us. -Croque Madame -Cronut -Breakfast Pizza Flatbread -Chilli tater tots -Maple Bourbon Wings

Food was fine but service was abysmal. We were there for 50 minutes before we got our food and service was nonexistent. I did notice other tables were getting better service so it may have just been our wait staff. However I asked the hostess for help and got no response,

Lucie has an outstanding brunch and a great atmosphere to enjoy it with. Highly recommend coming here with friends. Food - 15/20 - Great Food. Eggs benedict is my personal favorite. LUCIE does it pretty well. Service - 5/10 - attentive service with a good attitude. Par for the course Atmosphere - 7/10. The atmosphere is enhanced with art and an open restaurant concept style. Bar in the middle surrounded by tables and a patio on the outside. Total - 27/40 - Good place to go for brunch

They have a nice Old Cuban Cocktail. A good amount of TV’s to catch a game. Loud, but not too loud. I did not eat here.

If this review comes in handy please give it a thumbs up. While staying at the Colonnade Hotel. The LUCIE restaurant was open for breakfast. The host and waitress was quickly to serve us. We had the All American Breakfast. The perfectly prepared eggs complimented the seasoned potatoes with grilled onions. The meal came with a choice was sausage or bacon (I should have gotten the bacon) and wheat or white bread. The meal also includes your choice coffee or juice. A small cup of orange juice is 5USD and the whole meal is 19USD. Overall I enjoyed the food while spending quality time with a good friend.

Lucie is a great new upscale Italian restaurant in Back Bay, not that you'd really know that from the title. There's a very classy but kind of comforting atmosphere, especially the initial lounge area perhaps also part of the Colonnade Boston hotel it's next to shown in my pictures. The meals I've had were excellent, like the hearty Bolognese and a nice Alla Vodka, a vegetarian pasta. The meatballs were excellent, very large and dense, with an interesting consistency. One was a bit crumbly, and another had some textures of sausage in there it tasted like? All in all they were authentic and very tasty for sure. There's a lively atmosphere too, being great for work events it seems with a large bar area in the middle. The service was good even when they got busy.

The food here was very comforting for a breakfast date. We were able to be seated right away with no wait. The pancakes were fluffy and warm and paired perfectly with my yogurt. The staff was very friendly to serve us and attentive to our requests. I'd come back to LUCIE!

We were staying at the hotel so we came for breakfast. Should have went elsewhere. The service is good and place was quiet which was good and ambiance is nice. Food was lacking. I had the all American breakfast. My eggs were overdone. Bacon was just ok. Potatoes were not good at all. Burnt and just tasted bad. Toast was cold. Coffee not great. Maybe another meal would be better. Let's hope.

The worst service I've ever experienced! After 30 minutes of sitting I had to finally go looking for a waiter and once we received our drinks it took another 45 minutes to get the food. And that on a slow day (the place was literally empty, and I understand why) Food was mediocre

Stayed in connecting hotel for a conference. 14 rooms and twice as many people. We have been here for four days. First day restaurant didn't open for coffee. Second day rest was closed for private party. They serve breakfast and brunch but still weren't open ??? When they weren't closed dining room empty. That should have been a clue. My bad. We had a reservation way before we came to Boston. Food was expensive but sub par. Won't ever come back ... out of 29 tables only 8 tables were occupied. Had coupon for 10 off couldn't honor it. ? why not ? Had no answer ... won't be back.

Pancakes are scrumptious... Shout out Emma for the EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been here twice and I'm always surprised at how empty it is. It's got a cool atmosphere, the menu is diverse and the food and drinks are good.

we came in with the intent to share a few apps and we were not disappointed! we each had a couple round of drinks and all the cocktails we tried were great. the ginger & sage "martini" made with bourbon was my favorite. we enjoyed every plate we tried but the meatballs were stand outs -- they literally melt in your mouth! the charcuterie board was also fantastic! a lot of restaurants do run of the mill boards but Lucie's board actually gives a wide array of flavors, textures, and types. all in all, great experience!

We are here on a Saturday evening and really enjoyed our meal. I was a little skeptical based on other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised! If you are near the Hymes or Prudential center looking for a nice dinner, give Lucie a shot. We shared everything. Their Brussels sprouts and crispy ribs were awesome. Brussels had a delicious little cream with them. Only 3 crispy ribs in an order but lots of meat and tasty sauce. I wanted to order a second plate of them! For our entrees we had the carbonara, which I loved. Also the seared Tuna entree, which is served over a giant salad. Salad had lots of good things in it and the kale wasn't chewy. Definitely stop by.

Just had the most enjoyable evening at Lucie. Food and drinks were great, and Tyler could not have been nicer or more attentive!! We'll definitely be adding Lucie to the rotation and will be back soon! Thank you!

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

I rarely leave reviews for restaurants, because who has the time. But when one is so bad I almost feel it is my civic duty to warn people. Had brunch at Lucy drink plus arrived at 11:30 was seated and waited. Almost 15 minutes to get water and coffee. Ordered food immediately sensing the service would be slow and still waited 30 minutes for the food. Ordered yogurt and one over medium fried egg on the side which came to my table with not only one but TWO hairs on the plate. Under the egg. . Waited another 15 minutes for them to bring me a replacement egg, which of course was cooked hard. Have to say, never going back.

Literally booked my stay at The Colonnade after reading about the lemon ricotta pancakes and has been my best travel decision in 2023 . They are what happiness tastes like- and a huge portion. Blueberry bourbon sauce is good enough to drink. Came for dinner on a Friday night and was surprised with how busy it was, that I still had excellent service. Enjoyed A Kiss From Tomorrow before diving into some freshly shucked oysters and a bowl of rich and delicious clam chowder. Main course was the crispy ribs at the bartenders recommendation- perfectly cooked and couldn't get enough of the black garlic glaze. Lively atmosphere with a nice mix of of people.

Bolognese and shrimp ravioli Great service Nice booth Tasty meal Quick bar service We will be back

We arrived right at open, so the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Party of seven, six of whom were teens. Teens usually eat everything, but most plates were left far from clean and not due to portion size. They said the breakfast potatoes weren't good, the hot chocolate was cold, the rest was "just ok." Another person and I ordered the most basic of breakfasts: oatmeal. It was watery and cold. It also only came with brown sugar and raisins, but they were out of raisins and offered no substitute. I also got a side order of fresh fruit. For $9, I got a very small bowl of less than fresh fruit. With the two bowls of oatmeal taken off, the bill was still over $140 for a party of seven. Too much for less than mediocre food. The service was attentive, but the food and prices mean we won't return.

The 5's The Staff, The Location, The Ambiance The 4's The Food The 3's Pricing, Portion Size Most quality hotel restaurants are cookie cutter - great ambiance, professional staff, decent food, not the best bang for your buck Lucie's checks all the boxes A nice place for an occasional Sunday brunch after church

Food was fantastic, tried a lot of different dishes to experience the menu. Smoked tots were good, paired with the relish they became a balanced delicacy that would surprise you they came from the humble potato. Ribs were amazing, love it when a place isn't afraid to veer off from the norm. The black garlic glaze made me question why bbq is the standard when these were so good. Would not hesitate to order a couple of these as an entree. Meatballs were solid, nice and moist with the pecorino balancing the hearty ragu. Fig and Prosciutto Pizza- initially wasn't sure as I'm not a fan of fig but wow, my wife and I absolutely loved this pizza. I can honestly say this is the first "sweet" pizza I've enjoyed. The Gorgonzola really worked with the Prosciutto and white sauce for a savory base without being overpowered by the balsamic glaze. Roast wild mushrooms - the menu description isn't joking when it says the mushrooms are the star of this dish with the gnocchi in a supporting role. I also wasn't expecting so many different types of mushrooms to be in the dish but I was pleasantly surprised with the variety. Gnocchi was good, but I have to say the sauce is what elevated the dish with a fresh citrus flavor profile that complemented the mushrooms to a terrific dish. Drinks - tried a kiss from tomorrow as it was recommended as one of their most popular drinks. I don't have much to compare it to as I don't typically get sparkling / fruit infused drinks but it was a solid cocktail that went down easy. Also tried a standard Manhattan, a drink I'm more accustomed with. Bartenders know their craft, Manhattan was perfectly made. Turns out the staff were short the night we were there but I couldn't tell, staff was prompt and professional. Ambiance was nice, didn't have to shout over the noise of a brisk restaurant which some local locations suffer from. Kind of surprised on some of the reviews, I had a great experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to family or friends.

Staff look like they all want to go home. Kitchen closes at 830. It has to be the worst takeover of a restaurant (was brasserie Joe) in Boston. Let's hope the kitchen closes permanently. Food inedible and served with not a modicum of smiles. Wow Bad

We made a reservation for brunch today. The experience was so bad it was almost comical. We had to wait to be seated in spite of the restaurant being all but empty. Once finally seated, we had no service - including coffee - for quite a while. We finally got coffee and ordered. When the food came, the server brought the wrong entree to one of our party. Once the mistake was identified and the avocado toast with an egg was re-ordered, it took 20 minutes before it came out. And it came out without the egg. We asked for refill on coffee and it took 15 minutes - during which time the waitress asked if we were all set. Really? We had just asked her for coffee 5 minutes before. When the check finally came, it included both the avocado toast and the entree we hadn't ordered. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

Used to love the place, really cool staff. Food is just wack. I've had so many issues with the food, never went back. Just never know what your gonna get, got a Chuckie chz pizza for a "margarita". Being a real Italian and local, kinda sucks

Nice little upscale restaurant in the Back Bay area. I met an old friend here for drinks and dinner. I got the Royal Sunrise cocktail which was delicious! I love rum though so if you don't like that, may not be for you. For dinner I got the steak frites, sauces were yummy, steak was to die for, and I could eat the fries all night. They were perfect amount to crispy and salty. Would definitely come back for sure!!

We made a reservation for a birthday party last minute, and this was unfortunately the only place we could get a reservation to accommodate our large party. Over the span of 2.5 hours, we waitresses completely ignored us. They never came over to ask for drinks, never refilled water, and left us standing as the only people still in the restaurant, while they were more occupied with setting up for breakfast the next day, waiting for our checks so we could finally get out of there. We all left completely sober, feeling like we would never come back and completely wasted our time. We were there from 7:30-11 and got no service, and frankly, really awful food. Don't get the seared tuna salad, it sucks. Along with everything else we tried.

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.

So many things wrong. What a disgrace to a the location of old Brasserie Jo, good simple quality french and amazing service. Lucie. It's named after a dog. Mildly offensive. When my wife asked to try 2 wines, they were brought in a rocks glass. The servers had zero training. Nice. But no clue. No idea about menu items and no idea about good service. Water glasses sat empty, drinks empty, shrimp cocktail not cleaned properly, pizza embarassing. I agree with other reviewer, Collonade should be ashamed to be associated with this location, although sadly I think they are all the same party. Also, the interior design blocks traffic, bar shelving looks like Ikea, lights look like maybe an industrial vibe but cheap, table set up makes no sense. Finally, the sidebars had no mise en place. No wonder the service was mediocre, they were not set up for success. One more thing, red wine poured in rocks glasses. Shm. Shameful.

I ordered the eggs Benedict from their brunch menu. Wasn't really impressed with the dish considering my eggs were too cooked and didn't run like I normally would like my poached eggs would like to be. However I did enjoy the fingerling potatoes and the Sangria cocktail drink. I would come back for the drinks but not for food.

Not sure if I went on an off day. But I was there for Sunday brunch and it was dead, most of the tables were empty. The kicker they still made us wait for our reservation and let another group ahead of us. Wouldn't say the food was great either. They seemed to have plenty of staff but most seemed new. Cups dropped to the floor as they set up tables.

Service was great. Bar is comfortable to dine at. Tuna tartare - 4/10 Pepperoni pizza - 3/10, had to pick up a small piece of pizza with two hands because it was so floppy. Steak Frites - 3/10, frites were spot on. Steak was super tough (I know it's a hangar steak) and the sauce was the killer, tasted very fishy

DO NOT GO. Ordered drinks, but it took 40 minutes for three of them to come, and the others never arrived. We ordered food and they got half of our orders wrong, but the service was so slow we didn't send it back because we were so hungry. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was incredibly slow. Would not recommend to anyone.

Just met a friend at the bar of Lucie to split an amazing four mushroom pizza ($17) and had a glass of brut rose to drink. The service was great, the bar was huge and it's a nice big room. Which I meant to take a photo of but forgot. Decent background music too. Sadly there were only about 5 other people there so no buzz. Maybe the cold weather kept people in but it's worth checking out.

The waiter we had was kind, and it wasn't rushed or filled with people. The food was great, and the drinks were phenomenal. The ambient music playing really relaxes me. Overall would return if I have the chance!

My friends and I are big foodies and are always looking to try new restaurants and Lucies has been on our list. Unfortunately it fell extremely short. Although the menu and photos of the interior caught our eye, we were extremely disappointed by the quality and execution of the food as well as the service. We normally split appetizers and then a couple entrees so we can try a little bit of everything. However we didn't even order entrees because we were that disappointed.. The oysters were not fresh and were served in melted ice water. The popcorn shrimp, had a very strange texture and were served cold. The cheeseburger egg rolls were ok, nothing special. The Brussels were overwhelmed by a burnt taste and a large portion of sauce that was plated beneath them. We left the restaurant disappointed and ultimately ended up elsewhere. We will not be back nor recommend.

I just visited LUCIE for breakfast one morning and had their Brioche French Toast. I totally forgot to take a picture of my plate before I dove right into enjoying it. Let me tell you - that was some of the best French toast I have had in my life! The bread was so fresh, the slices were so thick and fluffy. Well worth the $13 price. The only thing holding me back from giving LUCIE a full 5-star review was the price of my drink. I ordered just an orange juice and that alone was $5. A small cup of OJ shouldn't be $5, that seemed a bit high to me. Other than that, I truly enjoyed my dining experience at LUCIE and hope to come back soon!

Thursday evening at 630 the day before NECann the restaurant was pleasantly vibing but not overly loud or jammed with people. My party of four was not terribly hungry so we ate lightly. We started out with a meat/cheese charcuterie board - it was nicely presented with a great variety. The tuna salad was very tasty and the tuna was lovely - tender and buttery. My companions also got the tuna salad and liked it as well as the mussels in a delectable broth. A couple of our diners were visiting Boston from Montana for the first time and one of them had never tried a mussel. She gave it a try and went back for more. They were super tender and sweet and the broth the tater tot balls were also yummy. Complimentary bread and butter were excellent. Moist dense crust - very springy inside. The Tres Leches cake for desert was a very generous serving and so delectable! Our server Quinn was simply fabulous. She made us all feel so welcome and she couldn't have done a better job. Highly recommend!

Stayed at the Colonnade so we tried this restaurant for breakfast. Pleasant waitress, food very good. I personally didn't care for the coffee but what the heck. 2 omelettes, a coffee, a Pepsi and tip $65. Steep but good food and spotless. I noticed that across the street was a takeout place doing a banging job... might be my next adventure if I stay in Back Bay.

Made reservations here for a Saturday brunch. Place was basically empty (rainy/cold Saturday in Jan during college break). All the staff was very friendly. We were seated at a very low top table with armchairs, very comfy but difficult for eating. Ordered a mimosa and espresso martini, both okay. Started with a tater tot queso dish that was delicious. I ordered a breakfast flatbread, which the menu stated had scrambled eggs, bacon, aioli, and potatoes on. Dish came out with what I believed to be sausage, egg, and aioli. When I asked the waitress she said she would check with the kitchen. Came back and said she could remake it or give me bacon on the side and said it didn't come with potatoes? At this point, I felt a little dumb and ordered a waffle instead. Upon double checking the menu I was correct in what I thought came on the flatbread. Waffle again was okay, comes plain any fruit is extra. My friend ordered a flatbread as well that was ok. Overall a little disappointed with how they handled the menu issue. Wouldn't come back

I LOVE that Lucie is now part of the neighborhood. I live around the corner & I feel like it's exactly what we've been missing. The drink menu is AWESOME & I recognized a couple of bartenders from a other restaurants I love in the city -- a plus. DEFINITELY ORDER - Garlic rolls w/ scallion butter - roasted half chicken - bolognese - crab & spinach dip - meatballs DRINKS OF NOTE - They make a darn good daiquiri - NEW SENSATIONS -- repeat after me!!! - Album cover

The food was pretty good! The service was not. I think our waitress came to our table every 20-30 minutes, and twice my boyfriend or I sat and eagerly waited for someone to help us (order food, get another drink) for 10+ minutes. It was frustrating to feel so invisible when there were only 10ish tables in the restaurant.

I was debating whether this restaurant should be 2 or 3 stars. The service was good, so I rounded up. The food was meh. We went for Sunday brunch, but actually ended up there at breakfast. (They start brunch at 10). The waffle was ok, and the $5 berries were just 10 or so berries on top. The waffle was barely dusted with powdered sugar with a small thing of syrup on the side. The avocado toast was good, but nothing special. The açaí bowl was soupy and not at all thick. We were still there at 10, so we also got a flatbread that was not very good. We like to try out new restaurants in the area, but at this price point, not remotely worth it.

Lovely decor, good bar area for watching games and good food in the city. Traditional American with some creative twists. I love the carbonara and salads here. The ice cream bar is fantastic. Service is good--love the waiter's outfits.

Service is horrible. Bartenders are super rude. And there seems to always be an issue w ordering. Shame that the Colonnade is associated w them. Lowers their reputation.

We went for Mother's Day brunch. Menu looked awesome and it was indeed all great. Serving and cooking staff were lovely. BUT we had a 230 reservation AND last call was 245. Obviously there was a mixup in the reservation (Open Table and/or Lucie) as others arrived at the same time as us (and some even later) BUT none of us accorded any kind of leeway to enjoy the afternoon as mothers and families as we arranged to and paid for. Absolutely no acknowledgement of the issue (that was none of our making) and accommodation with regards to the value of our time on a big day, our business, our enjoyment. We had literally a half hour to drink and stuff our faces with awesome food. Ruined the meal.

This place was very meh. Decor is cool, place is spacious. My biggest complaint was that they generally over-promised, making things sound more sophisticated and complex than they were. The Negroni was good, but claimed to come with a "charred orange" and it was just an orange slice. The menu is pretty standard, but the quality of the items was only okay. I ordered an arugala salad with strip sirloin on top. The salad claimed to come with confit artichoke, but mostly was just artichokes straight out a can. The steak was WAY overcooked and tasted like the cheap steak my dad used to buy from the convenience store and serve for breakfast. Fries were fine (hard to screw those up). The dessert menu looked excellent- I ordered the "birthday cake" and was served a giant slice of SUPERMARKET CAKE. Now, I love some supermarket cake, but not what I expect from a restaurant. We eat out a lot in downtown Boston/back bay, and definitely won't be back.

I had dinner here twice last week when I was in town. I stayed at the hotel attached so it's super convenient. Service was great, food was delicious. My first visit I eat alone and sat at a table with a couch for a seat. It was so cozy. I brought a book and just relax while I eat my dinner. Second time I came with my husband, and we had a great time as well. The food was delicious. They were busier as it was a Friday night, and didn't come back to us as quickly as I would've hoped after giving us our drinks. But it was a busy Friday night so I don't hold it against them. Was a great time. I recommend this place.

I had really high expectations coming in, but was unfortunately severely disappointed. The service was good, our waitress was very nice, but the food was truly horrible. There wasn't one good meal we enjoyed. We ordered two sides of Mac and cheese and one of them was spoiled :/. DONT GET THE MUSSELS... that's all I'll say. It makes me sad to write this review because like I said I had expectations and the atmosphere is really fun. They also forgot to take off our order of mac & cheese that was not edible and delivered 10 minutes after the rest of our meals. The waitress did not acknowledge us after we paid the bill and we were unable to receive a reimbursement.

I excellently stayed at the Colonade Hotel next to Lucie drink + dine . The most disappointing part of my stay was this restaurant. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was the fact that the bar downstairs would be open late (1am) however two-nights in a row we walked in around 11 pm and the bartender turned us away. The first night it happened we brushed it off. But the second night after confirming with the hotel that the bar does stay open until 1 am we tried walking in and for the second time the same bartender rudely turned us away and pressed the guests at the bar to finish their drinks so he could close... if you plan on visiting this restaurant for late night drinks you may be turned away.

This is a hidden gem in The Colonnade Hotel in the Back Bay. Had brunch there on Sunday with a large group. Everyone had something different and we all agreed it was amazing. From the brioche French toast to the Eggs Benedict to the Mexican Tator tots you won't be disappointed. Our waitress was wonderful as well. I'll be back for sure

Pretty average food experience. They certainly tried to create something interesting but the actual food taste is very average. Would not return.

We were surprised how good our experience was based on reviews. Great service and vibe. Good menu. Not expensive. Our food was delicious. Will go again before Symphony.

Lucie is a great addition to the neighborhood. Loved everything we ordered, highlights: the meatballs - super tender and I am a meatball connoisseur, the pizza crust was great, loved the lobster wedge and the chopped salad. Big fan of their Oregon Pinot Noir by the glass. Only complaint - they took the authentic carbonara off the menu and it was epic - bring it back!
