    Sample of alfredo sauce and cost
    Wayne L.

    Ordered a fettuccine alfredo for pick-up and this was what I got. It was $18 and I was surprised when the box wasn't even half full and keep in mind that this didn't even include protein which is an extra cost. Of course I can make it myself at home at a lower cost but I expected at least the container to be full. This case would be shame on me and now I learned my lesson however I saw some of my colleagues chose some of their other items on the menu and it looked like a better value so I would give Lucy's another try. Nothing special about this order and I'm not sure if the noodles and sauce were made in the restaurant (didn't taste like it), but I'm still interested in some other items on their menu

    Delicious, great service! Will be back! Great ambience and extensive menu... Onion rings were exceptional!

    Biscuits and Gravy Baby!!!! Soooo good, biscuits homemade and soft and warm with a great gravy that isn't too salty!

    Service was great! The ladies (Lisette & Wendy) took care of us for an impromptu Mother-Daughter Breakfast! Breakfast is only Friday-Sunday, so don't miss out!

    The breakfast was generously portioned and prepared how I asked for it. The chairs are cushy and comfortable. Wait staff was helpful and friendly.

    My wife took me to Lucy's for my birthday. We were greeted right away but it was not busy, a week night. Reviews indicated the waiter was rude. We did not find that at all. Food was very good. I had Chicken Parmesan and my wife had fish and chips. No dessert as my wife baked a nice cake. We will be back.

    This is the bartender heather!

    I wish i could rate my experience more than five stars! This was amazing service, Food, People, and scenery. Let's start with the service, the bartender Heather who works on Mondays was a delight!! . I would come back just to talk to her. Than the food. I ordered cheese sticks, they were great and they came out fast. And they were very good overall. They were playing lots of shows on three different flat screen tvs. It was very interesting. There was also a lot of friendly people here as well. I sat at the bar and talked to many new people, this place was overall welcoming, and a delight. I would come back over and over just for the people and the experience. Ivan was the man who delivered my food. It was spectacular, he brought it back fast and cleaned the table quickly. He was so friendly and nice. He made great small talk. I have been to the other restaurant in town called Fosters? It was okay and great service too but Lucy's beats it every time, on the service and the overall experience. If you are in the area of Rio vista stop by. And if you aren't it's worth the drive.

    Nuestra experiencia de 100!! Cómo llegamos al lugar?…read moreSugerencia de Chat GPT. Le dije dame un buen lugar en Brentwood y esta fue la opción!! ¡Sin arrepentimientos! La comida deliciosa; no hubo queja alguna! Todo estaba divino! Honestamente nos dieron un servicio mega eficiente, muy rápido!! El lugar estaba lleno, muchas familias. Era nuestra primera vez en el lugar!l y verdaderamente quedamos complacidos de nuestra estancia. Detalles a considerar: había música en vivo y no cuadra con la ambientación del restaurante. No se. Había mucho ruido de la gente y súmale que la música en vivo no estaba tematizado a lo italiano, o no iba acorde. Otro detalle a tener en cuenta, quien nos tomó la orden fue el chef Enzo (muy atento por cierto), y fue porque andaba caminando por nuestra zona de la mesa, no tuvimos a alguien que nos tomara la orden. Beto nos estuvo consultando cómo iba todo. Fue amable! Para los que pertenecemos a la comunidad LGBTQ+ no se si sea un buen lugar y lo digo porque no hay opciones en la zona. A nosotros no nos dijeron nada, ni nos hicieron mala cara, ni nos trataron mal, pero si consideren que hay muchas familias con niños entonces no se como lo tomen en el restaurante en caso de que si vas con tu pareja gay / Lesbiana y le des un abrazo o un beso. Para que lo tengan en cuenta. El restaurante se encuentra en el downtown de Brentwood, puedes conseguir parking. Cuentan con sanitarios limpios. Yo si regresaría con mi esposo!! Lo recomiendo!! Felicidades a todos!

    I had hopes for a really good restaurant in Brentwood, since we are really laking in that area. My…read morefamily and I went for lunch on a Saturday (it wasn't "busy" despite the Farmer's Market happening) and boy...not sure if I'd come back. First, I came a few minutes late from the rest of the group - they already got drinks ordered and it took 5 minutes for someone to come back and ask if I wanted a drink, regular plain Coca Cola, and then another 10 minutes to bring out said Coca Cola. And when I got it, there was more ice than Coca Cola in it the glass, which seemed less than a Mini Coke. Then the food comes...we asked for our son's kid pizza to come out first because he's little/hungry (it doesn't) and on top of that the dough was not cooked through all the way in many spots. When the rest of the food comes out, they bring my bread sandwich (see photo of "Meatball Panini") and boy was that a disappointing sandwich. TWO meatballs on opposite ends of the sandwich, a little cheese, and no sauce - it was like 95% bread (for $20). On top of that they forgot to bring out the pizza my wife ordered as well as another meatball dish, and after 15 minutes of waiting we had to flag someone down to ask. I'm convinced that if we didn't ask for them, we wouldn't have gotten them. The atmosphere is nice-ish and our server was nice as well, but added next to the other parts, I don't feel it can overcome those negatives. But hopefully it was an off day or something and other people have better experiences.

By the time her food came, I asked when can we order. They said our server would be out shortly. We still waited. Food: disappointed they ran out of chicken. The meatball was ok.

Spaghetti with meatballs: perfect Fettuccini with chicken & pink sauce: amazing (this was my nephews order the one my sister ordered at counter) Zoodles with chicken in Alfredo sauce: perfect according to my sister Fettuccini with sausage & Alfredo sauce: just ok because no chicken (my son didn't like it without chicken) Bread: amazing and a hit If I would have known about the chicken I would have ordered something completely different.

    After a disappointing first experience, Edgar and his team invited us back for a completely…read morecustomized birthday dinner -- and I genuinely appreciated the effort they put into making the evening feel special. They printed a personalized menu that read "Happy Birthday Michelle," created a full multi-course tasting for us, and even paired each course with thoughtful mocktails, as I do not drink alcohol, including non-alcoholic bubbles with the first course. The pairings themselves were beautifully executed, with each one personally presented by the sommelier and bartender That attention to detail really stood out. The meal itself was excellent. The hamachi crudo was beautifully presented on a massive pink Himalayan salt slab and had incredible flavor with the Calabrian ponzu and caviar. The ricotta agnolotti with lemon zest and pea shoots was probably my favorite dish of the night -- perfectly pillowy, delicate, and comforting without being heavy. Absolutely delectable. For the main course, they presented the NY Wagyu steak tableside before cooking it, which added a really nice touch to the experience. The lobster with brown butter and capers was rich and flavorful, and the desserts were fantastic -- especially their creative tiramisu-inspired dessert that was coated in a milk chocolate shell like a little tiramisu bomb. What impressed me most was how much care the staff put into making the evening feel personal. Multiple team members took time to attend to our table throughout the night, and it was clear they genuinely wanted to make things right and create a memorable experience. Overall, this revisit completely changed the tone of our experience, and I'm grateful for the hospitality and effort the restaurant showed. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and they absolutely made my birthday feel celebrated.

I approached the door and I was expecting him to say something but conveniently did not and did not turn his head towards us.

I was disgusted by that way of behaving that if I was going to say something I was going to be very upset and decided of avoid a big discussion. Well no problem....keep the over 100% tip but you are not going to see us ever again. (First and last time). An other thing that bothered me right away was the "fake ass kissing greeting way" the male waiter in question approached me when I got inside the restaurant. I do not know if the male waiter over 50 with glasses is also the manager or business owner but I am totally convinced he is in the wrong business for his way of dealing with people.

I was honestly hoping management might have addressed my previous review since we've been longtime regulars, but I never heard a word. I do think it matters when management acknowledges loyal customers, but maybe that's just me. This visit was definitely better. We had a much better waiter, service felt smoother, and my dinner was actually delicious. It reminded me of all the reasons we used to come here once or twice a week. That said, something still feels like it's missing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's just not quite the same as it used to be. This used to be our go-to spot without question, and now it's become more of an every-few-months kind of place. They're close. Very close.

It gave the vibes of a place that wanted to be old school Italian, but quick service like a chain restaurant. Overall a good experience, and would go back, but my expectations are more realistic for next time. We did have 2 sodas and a pitcher of beer too. Good for a quick date night but not a huge value for a family dinner IMO.
