Lucille - Greshamville

I went to Lucille when I was at a conference in Madison this summer. It was great. Service was good. Had some late night music which was enjoyable and the pizza was fantastic. Was able to split two pizzas with some friends which made the night very affordable. Would recommend.

Two stars at best as far as a weekend night rating. 3 times in a row that the kitchen is closed as early as 11pm. We choose this for the food and when the drinks suck too well it’s just a total let down for the price. La Paloma tasted all like artificial lemon concentrate and el Diablo was slightly better. Too many strikes for us to come back. Hope it’s just unlucky bad bartenders : . Went there again 2 weeks later and was equally unimpressed. The barback with her phone tucked in the side of her bra tank top seemed a bit weird for a “nice place” then the dude with feather tattoos on his neck ignore us after she told them we wanted drinks and and went to a different group of people instead. For drinks and service this place has been a let down in recent times for what it should be. 2024 edit: food is good but service sucks. Went to pick up food and a bottle of tequila and not one word from the chunky server with my receipt for the tequila. I regret tipping just for that. Sorry you have to work on a Sunday it’s not my fault.

The 6 of us had excellent service and delicious food. The kitchen made a custom small pizza for our 3and5 year old grand children with no problem. Lucille has a warm inviting ambience. We had a fun afternoon brunch and plan to return soon!

It's evident that Lucille's is very popular, and I'm glad that we tried it. However, between the volume of people and the music, the restaurant was so loud, that at least three times, when we tried to get the attention of our server, who was just a few feet away, she couldn't hear us and walked away. Overall, she was a good server, so we don't want this review to reflect poorly on her. Based on how crowded it was, it seems that many people like Lucille's energy and vibe. However, this might not be the place to go if you're trying to have a nice dinner conversation.

Our service was very slow. Our service started off attentive and then we never saw her again. We had to ask for our drinks from another server who checks in on us to make sure we had been helped. Our server never checked back to see if we wanted more drinks or how the food was.
