I had the bacon, egg avocado toast. It was huge and delicious. And yes I ate it all. There's plenty of parking. The place is small but very charming. Service was great.

Lucille's Café in Ledyard is the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly wins you over with…read morequality-first food and a menu that feels more curated than you'd expect from a small café. Their sandwich lineup is the standout: fresh bread with real structure, generous fillings, and combos that show someone in the kitchen actually cares about balance. Whether you go classic or try one of their more creative builds, it's consistently satisfying. The coffee program deserves its own shoutout. Smooth pours, well-textured lattes, and drinks that come out tasting intentional--not rushed, not burnt, not watery. It's the type of place where you order a second coffee because the first one was genuinely that good. Now, the caveats--the ones Yelp Elites always clock. The line can be a patience test, especially during peak hours. The café is cozy (read: small), and the limited seating means you're often strategizing where you'll actually sit before you even order. And while the food and drinks are absolutely worth talking about, the tab climbs fast. It's surprisingly easy to cross the $50+ mark for a couple coffees and a few sandwiches, which feels steep for a casual café experience. Still, Lucille's delivers on flavor, consistency, and quality. If they can ease the congestion and rethink the price-to-portion ratio just a bit, they'd be flirting with five-star territory. For now, it's a strong four stars--a local gem with room to shine even brighter. Cheers

For a smaller side hotel restaurant/bar area, this place was pretty good. The bartender, (who's…read morename I wish I got!!) was very nice and personable. Myself, my five year old and two other adults went for dinner around 7p. The bartender even put classic cartoons on the bar tv for my daughter without my asking! How sweet :) Quite a few menu options sounded pretty good if I'm being honest, but I opted for the Grilled Vegetable Pasta Primavera. It was quite yummy! The drink I had-- name I can not recall was also quite good. Fireball, cranberry, soda water. Very Christmas-y. When checking into the hotel they gave us a coupon for a free app and we opted for mozzarella sticks. Crispy and a good amount of cheese. Though for the $6-7 they cost, the order only comes with 4. There's a late night menu that starts at 10p which I thought was smart! No reason not to come back and try something new!

I absolutely love their cheesecake. It's honestly the best around and the apple cheesecake is my…read moreabsolute favorite. I've eaten here many times and have always had great experiences overall. However, during my most recent visit, I was a little disappointed. I felt misled about a few upcharges that weren't clearly explained when I ordered. I asked for an omelet, and when the server asked what kind of cheese I wanted, I assumed it was included but later found out it was an extra charge. I also asked to add avocado, which I expected to cost extra, but I didn't realize it would be nine dollars and actually come as guacamole with tomatoes, I did not ask for or want tomatoes and was not told they would be there. Good thing I do not have an allergy. The food was plenty and tasted good despite the tomatoes. I took half homebecuse I was full. The decor is beautiful and the service was friendly and attentive, so I didn't want to make a fuss at the time. I will definitely still come back, especially for the cheesecake, but I do hope they are a little clearer about add-on pricing in the future.

There's something about seeing the cooks working the line that adds another layer to the experience. It feels lively, energetic, and authentic. We started with a variety of appetizers because, honestly, everything on the menu sounded amazing. First came the bread service with two olive oils. The bread was light and airy, with just enough chew, and it soaked up the oil and sauce like it knew exactly what its job was. Next up were the meatballs, served in a rich tomato sauce with ricotta and shaved Parmigiano. The meatballs had a unique flavor thanks to the sausage mixed into the blend. They were tender, savory, and deeply satisfying. The sauce was chunky and well-balanced, just the right touch of sweetness without tipping into acidity. We also ordered the arancini, which came crisp on the outside and packed with umami flavor, helped along by the truffle sauce. One bite and you understand why these little rice bombs are such a classic. And then there was the cheese board, a nice variety that gave everyone something different to pick at between bites of everything else. For my main course, I went with the Pork Chop Giambotta. The pork chop was grilled beautifully, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It was topped with a giambotta, a rustic Italian stew of vegetables that included fingerling potatoes, sausage, hot cherry peppers, vinegar, garlic, and onions. This dish hit every note on the palate, sweet, savory, tangy, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. One of those plates where every forkful gives you a slightly different combination of flavors. It was a great meal, made even better by sharing it with family. And the service deserves a mention as well. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, the kind of hospitality that makes the whole evening feel effortless. A great night all around.

The pastrami was so flavorful. The burger was seasoned and you can still taste the freshness from the beef. It was a good lunch and that made up for the rude attitude in the beginning with the hostess.

Disappointed. Visited Saturday night and restaurant was almost empty, plenty of seating. We asked…read moreto sit in the dining area, in lieu of the bar area and was led all the way to the back of the restaurant and was seated directly in front of the staff's POS machine. The entire time we were there, we felt like we were employees of juniors. Constant chitchat between the employees took place less than 12 inches of booth. Our female server acted nice and helpful, until she wasn't. Never came to check back on us, never got to order a second round of drinks, and my Caesar salad had zero dressing completely dry. I did not have any opportunity to order dressing, since she never came back to the table. However, she had time to chitchat and text on her phone near the kitchen area. Severely lacking management and much-needed training. One positive note, the complimentary beets, pickles, and coleslaw were tasty. However, they no longer automatically bring it to you, you may have to ask. Restaurant itself appeared clean, with no visible issues. For the last two points, I have added an additional star. Apparently lackluster/lazy service is a consistent issue at this location. Management???? Review is solely our opinion.

This is supposed to be a quick serve place and I had to wait 10 minutes for a slice of pizza and then last night I got to bingo 15 minutes before the games started, noticed no line and figured they'd have food since the games were just starting and sure enough.. nothing there. I asked how long for a slice of pizza and she checked and said 5 minutes. I said okay and paid and waited. and waited. 10 minutes later they're announcing the first game and I'm getting a little annoyed and she comes along with my slice of pizza and another customers slice of pizza. I made it to my seat just in time for the first game, I knew it was hot so waited about 10 minutes and opened the box. total disappointment.. no pepperoni. I don't care about the fact that I paid an extra quarter for the pepperoni, I was looking forward to the slice of pepperoni pizza which is a rare treat for me and their pizza is awesome. I wasn't going to miss any more games to get it fixed, so I just ate it. It was good.. that's why they get 2 stars but how hard is it to keep food prepared for a quick service café?! I noticed the lady next to me had ordered something, I couldn't see what it was, but she called the delivery girl back over and I heard her say it was the wrong order so they can't even keep orders straight. Hopefully this place will shape up, because the food is really good, but the service is terrible.
