Lucio's — Restaurant in Houston

First time at Lucio's and let me say...WOW!!!! I was looking for a BYOB spot that had a nice atmosphere for dinner and a memorable meal....and by far, this was the place. Love the small, intimate feel I experienced as soon as I walked through the door. With the open kitchen, amazing aromas in the air, tasteful decor and evening mood lighting....what a perfect first impression. Service and hospitality are on point....and the food....AMAZING. Attention to detail on plating, we eat with our eyes :), portion size, and flavors....every bite was memorable.

Started out with the Parmiggino-Reggiano Risotto with Lump Crab Meat...good lord. I had Hagner's Hanger Steak cooked spot on medium rare and melted in my mouth. Their version of chimichurri will bring me back to order this again. My friend had the Australian Rack of Lamb and wished we had not eaten all of the Risotto we had for an appetizer...lol. For dessert, we order the Vanilla Bean Orange Bourbon Creme Brûlée....wasn't a huge fan of the orange flavor, but it was still good. Next time will be the Brownie for sure.

If your a foodie, and love a great atmosphere and the ability to bring one or two of your favorite wines and not have to be screwed with the normal 2.5 - 3 x markup restaurants normally put on wine....then THIS IS YOUR SPOT! Just please, save...

Let me start by saying that I did not know what this place was, but I drive past it when going to my home. After numerous attempts to get a reservation at the neighboring restaurant, I took to Yelp to find out what Lucio's is all about. My fellow Yelpers did not disappoint, and neither did Lucio's.

Getting a reservation here was easy, although when you add the acronym BYOB to the end of any place, it raises some questions.

We had guests in from town, and were seated immediately. Our server was amazing (sorry I did not get her name) and she offered suggestions. For starters, we ordered the Artisan Cheese Plate, which has some really tasty cheeses on it. We enjoyed that with the Silver Oak Cab that I brought in (there is a corkage fee but worth it IMO). On that note, they do offer wines there.

For my meal I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium rare. It was fantastic! Cooked to perfection and seasoned so well! Everyone at the table raved about the food and we all agree that it was the right choice to...

Our family gave Lucio’s a try after reading all of the wonderful reviews and it did not disappoint!

Service: our waitress, Irina, was pleasant, warm and hospitable! She treated us with so much care.

Food: we tried the crab cakes, goat cheese salad, calamari, filet mignon, rack of lamb and salmon and they were all cooked to perfection. For dessert, we tried the brioche- delicious. We truly enjoyed our experience.

Drinks: we took advantage of the BYOB option and brought our own wine. Please note that this option is for wine and champagne.

Ambiance: small yet spacious , intimate setting. All tables were filled with guests when we went (a Saturday night after 7pm). Lots of interesting art on the walls. I feel that the size of the restaurant added to the quality of the food. The chefs took their time making everything fresh.

Wait times: although the food is cooked from scratch, we did not wait long times to get anything. The service was choreographed in a seamless manner.

Parking: parking was easy- we used...
