DO NOT SUGGEST THIS TAVERN
Our first clue about this place should have been the lack of people inside on a Saturday night.
Last night a group of us went out to celebrate our best friend’s upcoming wedding. Excited, tired, hungry and ready for dinner. When we walked in the hostess/waitress happily seated our group of seven at a table. When she came back to take our order she informed us that the manager refused to serve us any drinks containing alcohol because “they did not know where we had been prior to arriving there” we let her know that we just left our airbnb and were looking to grab drinks and dinner after a long day of hiking.
First of all, we never met the manager, no clue who it was. We only spoke to one person at the restaurant who was our hostess/waitress.
When the waitress informed us of this We were all hurt and embarrassed to say the least. False assumptions that were made without the manager even speaking to us directly. Out of disbelief we respectfully said we were going to leave their establishment and see what other options were in the area.
Come to find out the joke was on us because this unprofessional, judgmental and unseen manager had told all the other bars in town that we were “cut off and not to served”. The best part is that we only found this out when we were informed by a waitress at the 3rd bar & grill we tried to eat & drink at. She informed us that the manger at “lucky Dog” had sent out a notice to surrounding bars to cut us off. At least the waitress at the 3rd bar was up front.
The unseen manager at Lucky dog claims we were “loud, excessively intoxicated, and that the first two girls to enter the restaurant were slurring their words and had a sex doll”
To clarify we were nothing but happy, polite, excited, hungry and thirsty. We had nothing to drink for we were hiking all day which is why we were dressed up and happy to be out on the town.
We had some women in our group whose first language is not English. The comment about slurring words was an assumption off of two women in our group who have heavy accents. I think we were in the restaurant for a total of 5 minutes and never met the manager so how would that person know ? As for the sex doll it was not. It was a blow up doll that we dressed up so that the bride could pretend to have her soon to be husband with her for fun. If the blow up doll with a bow tie was a problem a simple ask could have cleared everything up. we were more than polite and non confrontational hence why we left without a problem.
They treated our group like a bunch of strays as soon as we walked in their doors. This was a DISSAPPOINTING experience to say the least. You turned down business owners, managers, health professionals and environmental scientists because of your LIES, POOR JUDGEMENT and UNFAIR ASSUMPTIONS....
Read moreThis is the quintessential hidden gem! Tucked away on Memphis Avenue is this local haunt serving truly delicious, TRUE fusion cuisine! Like honestly, Doug Katz eat your heart out- come order at Lucky’s and see what it feels like when fusion cuisine actually fuses! If you are in the mood for an extraordinary pizza made with fresh dough that benefits from decades of traditional knowledge, Lucky’s breaks the mold by forging innovative culinary delights- you simply MUST try the Birria pizza, topped with a family recipe slow cooked beef that is worth the drive (AND the calories!). The Caribbean menu is out of this world- we could live on the Arepas, and the avocado tacos are a dream for the veggies in the crowd! Have a gluten issue? No problem! I’ve had all of the marked GF items on the menu and have NEVER had an issue (and I am very sensitive to gluten). The servers are all personable, welcoming, hospitable and oh mercy, do they know how to mix a delicious beverage! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up on “the rock,” a perfect cooler for these hot summer days- tequila based with lime and kiwi, it starts sassy with a friendly tartness that quickly turns to a soft fruity sweetness- and just as it begins to get sweet, the tequila smooths out the sip and you leave each visit with your straw refreshed, delighted, and wanting to come back for more! I haven’t had it, but I have seen people order the lychee martini and then order more because they are so delicious! Whether you live in the neighborhood, make the drive from a neighboring community, or are visiting Cleveland from far away, come visit Lucky’s and taste what’s good in the Old Brooklyn...
Read moreWe called ahead to make sure they could seat 7 people. We sat down got our drinks then it was an hour before the server came back to take our order. We had to actually ask for him. Idc how the drinks were wrong or how the food was off I get that it's not the servers fault and he did fix it. The fries had no flavor or salt, food was just very bland. And we had to keep asking for our server. he just never came back. This place is always packed so maybe I just ordered the wrong plate? But my family had many other dishes and didn't seem too impressed with the seafood and sides. I had young children getting antsy and we were never told about the crackers cheese or bread that was available nor did they offer us any of the crayons or coloring stuff by the door. I get that it's "serve yourself" but how would we know that without being told? We just happened to see while leaving many times to stretch our legs while waiting in-between everything. I don't think our server came to our table once without us having to search for him. This is my home town, we recently moved here and I had my family down from VT to try this place with us for the first time. But after last night I don't think we will be back. Too much of a wait between our server checking the table and food having...
