We recommend the sage focaccia with prosciutto & the creamiest buratta cheese, & obviously the pillow pasta with the most delicious pesto.

I cannot say enough glowing things about Lucky Cheetah. From the moment I walked through the door, the music, the colors and the atmosphere had me! The servers were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The food and drinks were top notch! Don’t miss the martini with caviar stuffed olives and the king mushroom! So delicious. I can’t wait to go back!

Timely and pleasant service. Menu options were plentiful and the ones we ordered were delicious. Wines by the glass selection was a bit limited but overall worth a return visit especially if heading to Merrill auditorium for a performance.

We a had a wonderful dinner before attending a show. Our waiter Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delicious from our antipasto platter, cocktails, pasta dishes and crème brûlée with biscotti. I had the pasta with mushrooms and I would definitely order it again. Homemade biscotti was to die for! Looking forward to returning.
