I thoroughly enjoy my experience every time I am at Cafe Lurcat. I appreciate the ambiance as much as the knowledge of the staff. The food is always amazing. I’m extremely grateful for gluten free accommodation and attention to ensure my selections are safe to eat. This is the only restaurant that truly makes me tear up by dessert from the pure joy of the flavor explosion in my mouth. Truly wonderful.

We were in the first (11:00] seating for the Thanksgiving dinner. That probably influenced the very prompt service and quiet surroundings. The turkey roulade was some of the best turkey I have ever eaten, the breast meat was moist and nicely flavored by the abundant dressing rolled into it. The beans were crisp and bright green; the sweet potatoes were flavorful, The pumpkin praline cheesecake was incredibly rich and nicely presented. We only wished we had split one piece and taken the other home for later.

I went for lunch and had one of the lunch specials. I can't remember the name (pasta with a red sauce with wild boar). I chose solely because when my server was describing it, his eyes lit up for a second! I thought, if he got excited just describing it then I should try it! We paired the entree with one of the house Cabernets. Amazing! The server read my mind as he subtilty dropped off the dessert menu. I completed the meal with the chocolate torte and a coffee. Excellent way to finish! The service was flawless from the maitre 'd greeting me with a warm smile. My server was busperson was very attentive, warm and engaging. The only "downside" is the value. The bill was close to $100 for one, so not a "fast casual dining" but luxurious dining experience with supreme food and outstanding service!
