My husband and I recently ate at Cafe Lurcat to celebrate an anniversary. It was a fabulous dining experience. The restaurant has an upscale, elegant, even romantic, atmosphere. Dining at Cafe Lurcat was a surprise for me, so I didn't have any expectations as we entered. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The wait staff was outstanding and we both loved the food. It is expensive--but I had such a great night that I would love to eat there again for a special occasion.

People were talking shit about the service but we got our food real fast and our waitress was friendly and down with the conversation. Tamales were tubular, the corn tortillas sent the taste buds on a journey. The dirty funk playing through the stereo was a nice change of pace for a Mexican restaurant. Overall, it was not your typical Mexican eating experience but totally worth the trip.
P.S. Get your chips oiled.
Pros: Fun atmosphere, interesting decorations, spicy salsa, QUICK
Cons: Dry chips were too dry - get 'em oiled.

I was told about this place by my hairstylists (Boji Hairstudio, they're the best, also NE:) and have
been here 3 or 4 times. Okay, it's a perfect late after noon, early evening spot. I've always had great
service and the food is 99% bullet-proof. NO restaurant get every dish perfect every time, but overall
the food is scrumptious and reasonably priced. This whole area is very cool and friendly.
Pros: Tasty/Friendly
Cons: slightly overpriced but worth it

As small-time sushi fans wanting a bigger experience, we asked for help with the menu at Sushi Tango. We were given great help in choosing our sushi (some simple and some a little out of the ordinary) by the friendly staff. We encountered no problems with rudeness and our water was refilled often in the time we were there.
Everything we ordered was simply wonderful. The pork dumplings were flavorful, rather than generic and bland. The tempura squid was fantastic, with more emphasis put on the meat of the squid than the tempura batter.
We had the Philly maki (salmon with cream cheese), the yellowfin maki, and the more adventurous Eel maki. All were delicious in their own right - but the eel was honestly the best!
The meal was finished off with a generous bowl of Green Tea ice cream. Quite tasty.
Pros: Great service, good atmosphere, great food no matter what you order
Cons: I didn't see where there would be room for larger than 4 at a table

It was our anniversary and we wanted someplace special. We have walked by this place and always wanted to eat there.
We have recently said, its been a long time since we have had a meal that made you say "WOW" That was awesome. Vincent provided it.
We opted for the tasting menu along with the Wine pairing. We figure the Wine pairing was less expensive than the one bottle of wine we were going to order.
They did nice pours and never were out of wine.
Vincent himself stopped by the table and was very gracious.
The food was awesome.
Vincent, if your reading.. Loved your restaurant and your food.. one suggestion.. loose the curtains.. Good luck on the Triathlon!
Pros: The Food
Cons: A little Spendy, but WELL worth it

My husband and I had our first visit Friday night and it won't be our last. We started with apps, the shrimp cocktail and crabcakes were wonderful. The walleye I had for my entree covered the entire length of my dinner plate and was very tasty, I also sampled my hubby's filet mignon and was equally impressed with the taste and the portion size. The sauces served with both the appetizers and entrees were fresh and a great enhancement to what they were served with. We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our night out. Our server was prompt and very courteous; he answered all of our questions and met all of our "demands". The band was a nice addition to the atmosphere and we were able to converse with no problem while they played.
Pros: Excellent service in a great atmosphere
Cons: Go early for good parking
