    my boyfriend and I went for an anniversary and I was lovely!! they have free valet when you arrive, we walked in and were immediately and warmly greeted by the host. they wished us a happy anniversary and even though we were almost 30 min early they were able to seat us after only 1 min. we got a booth and the ambiance was perfect; cozy low lighting (I could still read the menu though), lots of beautiful wood, and red accents. the entire staff was kind and welcoming. our server was perfect and just what you’d want/expect from an established steak house (professional, knowledgeable, nice, and anticipatory). we got crab cakes as an app (comes with two- very pricy) and the sauce that came with them was delicious (almost a sweet and sour sauce). my bf ordered a martini and it was perfect. I ordered the Paula Shultz and it was sweet and refreshing and yummy. they gave us complimentary warm bread rolls with butter which would have been amazing but they were very salty. same room!! I got the 8oz filet mignon and it was so tender and amazing! I ordered it with garlic mashed potatoes which were also soooo well done!! my bf got the rib eye and it was juicy, tender, and flavorful. the fries that came with his steak were really good and came with ketchup and a fry sauce that I loved. they surprised us with a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary and it was incredible (made with real vanilla bean). all in all it was exactly what we wanted; rustic, classic, and delectable!! definitely very expensive but worth it for a special occasion. I can’t wait to return!!

    This is a great restaurant. A group of 4 of us dined there last night. We each ordered something different and all four entrees were delicious. Our server, Mitch was fantastic as well. Lucca is a home run!

    We had a really memorable dinner with our 12 year old daughter who loved the pizza. The menu variety offered something for everyone. The preparation of the gnocchi (2 large rather than the smaller finger-sized) was a neat and delicious twist and the skirt steak was cooked perfectly. Our server had spot-on wine recommendations that paired nicely with our meals. Excited for a return visit.

    Came to Oregon on a business trip and this place was recommended to have dinner at. I’m so thrilled we did, everything was exceptional! We were running late and gave them a call to give them a heads up, they were happy to accommodate us as well as appreciated us calling ahead to make them aware. You’re than greater by a host who takes you to your table and welcomed by someone who checks your coat in. This restaurant works as a team, someone who takes your order, another who removes empty plates, and someone who fills your drinks as well as serves your food. Our server was very detailed and explained everything so well! We had a hard time deciding since we wanted to try everything lol. She broke it down for us, gave us time to decide came over and took our order. She then has a well orchestrated way of when items will come to the table. This was genius so you don’t get anything so heavy that it prevents you from trying the other items you wanted to try. This is a share group dining experience. How I rate the dishes we enjoyed Spicy wok Edamame 4/5- not spicy but very flavorful just a lot of liquid in the bowl. Edamame 5/5-cooked perfectly Mushroom Bao Buns 5+/5 OMG this was definitely a favorite I could just eat those for the entire meal. Just a delightful pocket of awesome to enjoy. Pork belly Bao Buns-5/5 I didn’t get a chance to try this one but the other two people really raved about it Bone Marrow 3/5 I feel like it was just missing something and I’m not sure what that was which is why I rated it like so. Toro Nigiri 5+/5 so buttery and delicious! Who would’ve thought something so small could be soooo delicious! Wagyu Fried Rice 4/5 good but trying it once would be enough for me to where I wouldn’t order it again after had trying it. Bulgogi Sujebi 3/5 way too sweet! Dubai to Janken 5/5 don’t think about this one, have to get it! Bingsu-5/5 great for sharing, was worried it would be super sweet but was PERFECT! Sushi Ice cream2/5 underwhelming
