by ameer n. on it's been far too long for me to live in the city and not visit this venue. it finally happened, and i'm glad it did. the place feels like it was once a 1920's speakeasy. today it's an intimate venue located close to plenty of bars/restaurants which make for a great pre-concert meetup.
by Scott M. on Luckie is a great place to get lucky. Take that for what you want. I really dont know what the hell to call Luckie either. Restaurant, lounge or club. Maybe they should just call the damn place Luckie Food Restaurant Lounge Club. It would make more sense to me. The first time I went was a Wednesday night. We knew Wednesdays was a popular night, but figured we could beat the cover if we got there before 9pm. 8:45pm we arrived, only to be greeted by a well dressed doorman calmly asking for $20. "$20 dollars"? Its 8:45pm! He replied, "Unless you have a reservation its $20". I started to be a smart ass and just call the restaurant on the spot, and make a reservation, then I just said screw it...whatever. Anyways, Luckie looks like your traditional "Club, restaurant, Lounge" In fact, its pretty damn stunning. A blue light engulfs the restaurant making you feel very "loungie" if you know what i mean....we quickly sat at a relatively uncrowded bar, and began to drink...each wondering, when was anybody going to show up? After a steak and 2 cognacs, I quickly realized that the damn place was full. And not just full, but Atlanta full, meaning there was a plethora of really good looking women. Aww yes, Luckie...I finally got it... So lets talk about the food....the Ribeye---pretty damn amazing and very similar to the Hawaiian Rib eye at Houstons, but not quite as tasty, but for damn sure a close second. Pretty hard to screw up a baked potato, and Luckie did a good job of making sure they held up their end of the bargain. Scrumptious. The pork chop wasnt bad, but not very memorable either. Drinks are strong, bartenders are pretty efficient...definitely a good option for a Wednesday...heard Fridays were amazing!
by Augustine Gottardo on Even though it was packed with tourists, the food here at Tao is delicious. The sushi was fresh, the miso sea bass was to die for and their chocolate molten cake with coconut ice cream was orgasmic. So if you are in the mood for some yummy Asian food in midtown, then I would say try this place. Just beware of the cheesy midwestern accents and extreme blonde streaks.
