I do wish I could give this restaurant a five-star rating. The menu is interesting, the staff is friendly and they work hard. Food is generally tasty and of good quality. My only criticism would be to echo some of the other comments that remark on the portion sizes relative to the price point. This may depend on what you order, but I have been surprised on several occasions at the plate set before me. Today was the most recent example where a chicken salad sandwich special had the smallest amount of chicken salad on the smallest pieces of wheat bread with the smallest amount of sweet potato fries on the side. This was about $16 on the menu. As someone who dines out often at a variety of restaurants, this is just noteworthy to me, even in this new era of higher prices overall. This is truly all that causes me to avoid coming here, even though they are close and convenient.

Returned for dinner. Again LP never disappoints. I had their French 77. OMG I'll be back just for this. A great refreshing cocktail with Cava. And huge portion. Had the fish and chips. The fries were fantastic. We usually don't eat all the fries. But we made an exception. Ooo weee. I had the Texas burger. Jeez a huge burger with cheese bacon onion strings. I ordered the slaw for the side. One of the top 3 slaws I have had.

Ordering a big hearty fried chicken sandwich or wanting a filling healthy salad ? Whatever preference you may have for brunch/lunch even dinner, The Lucky Platter has the meal for you! Both dishes were delicious and mouth watering! Pictured here: Fried Chicken Sandwich & Green Goddess Salad! The service was so sweet and the ambiance is small inside but the outside patio is fun and you get to see the city while you're enjoying your meal, especially in time for patio season!

Stopped by for lunch with a colleague on Friday and had a fantastic experience. Once we walked in, we were immediately greeted and seated. The restaurant was crowded, and everyone seemed excited about so many different items on the menu. I decided to try to "adulting" four cheese grilled cheese with tomato soup. It was the perfect combination on a snowy winter day. The creamy cheeses and tomato soup was like a lunch pizza without the pizza part! The soup was a bit cold but the flavors were so incredible! Once we received the check, we have to go over to the shop to pay. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. The only hiccup is parking. The street parking is a bit of a hassle esp when it's cold, but the food and experience is totally worth it! :)

Stopped here for lunch with friends. Friday around 12:30, they were semi busy. Beautiful day so we grabbed a table outside although inside offered a small shop, laid back vibe and interesting decor.Felt like Brunch given our entree choices. I had the Omelette #2-filled with artichokes, roasted veggies and avocado with Goat cheese taking it over the top. I went with the house-made Apricot Cheese Flakey and that was a good decision. Cobb Salad (with Grilled Salmon), Platter and BLT (special) were all enjoyed also.Service was friendly and attentive. Lives up to the "Eclectic and funky Diner made from scratch" billing.

Not sure the draw as it doesn't lack for lunch business. Our visit found thefront 'reception desk' manned by someone from the kitchen. We seated ourselves. During the lunch, whatever caused the mostly +25 year-old staff toappear, never became clear. There were 3 -4 male and1 young 'college-age girl now on the floor. I think of this place as an aspiringnew-age eatery. Once the staff appears, the service is acceptable. The foodis passable. Nothing special. Curiously, one of the guys told me on questioning that tips are shared. Didn't surprise me given whatever vibethe place genuinely has, but no tip jar was readily seen in the adjacent sweet-shop/souvenir stand next door where you pay your tab. By habit and my nature, I tipped like I was in a better sit-down restaurant. I assume the fellaat the cash register had an especially good night following my visit.

The food is good and the service gets the job done. But the waiters are grim faced and unfriendly. Very strange.

I used to love this restaurant. It certainly has cute decor! And the eclectic menu of salads, sweet potato fries, and fish sandwiches, among others, had something for everyone. But lately (June 2024) the food has taken a turn for the worse. It is also overpriced. I'll be skipping The Lucky Platter in the future.

Decided to give this restaurant a try today for my aunt's birthday as we live close by and we were both heavily disappointed in not only the food but the service. We both ordered a scramble and when the server came out, he only came out with one plate. It took about 8 minutes and still no plate had come out and we had to ask personally what had happened to my meal.We were told that it was a "system error" but the server was easily able to go to the back and pick up the plate in a matter or seconds which makes it feel not so much as an error. Once I received my scramble, both meals at this point were cold and the food was average and disappointing. Also, every other table had received their meals together which was disappointing that we didn't receive the same service. I then realized that there was no bacon in my scramble and I had to request it. After our meal, we went to check out to discover that our server had added the bacon that was supposed to come with my meal onto the bill without discussion. We do however appreciate the owner for correcting this on our bill. We are sad that this experience and will not be back.
