💯
Throughout my dining experience, they went above and beyond to ensure that everything was running smoothly and that all guests were satisfied.
Incredible ambience
I was blown away. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with an awesome atmosphere and exquisite interiors that set the perfect tone for the evening. The attention to detail in the decor and ambiance was truly impressive.

Lucien was one of my favorite places in Manhattan for years.
Then the original owner retired and his son took over. His son who wants to spend all his time hanging out in the restaurant with his friends. I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence that right around that time the quality and serving size of the dishes went downhill. This was the coziest, classiest, most wonderful restaurant. Now it's cheap (quality, not price), loud, and unappealing on multiple levels. It used to feel like you were in Paris; now it feels like you're on Ave D.

I really like this place and the food is delicious, however, my partner felt incredibly uncomfortable when the waitress gave us the bill. We are generally great tippers, and leave gratuity based on service. Our waitress wasn't amazing, and not terrible, therefore in my eyes 18% is good. When she handed us the machine, I watched her in the mirror hovering over my partner who paid the bill. I knew he felt pressured and uncomfortable. I ended up taking the machine from his hand and clicking 18% for him. The waitress looked visibly upset that it wasn't 22% (the percentage that was already highlighted). Passively ripping the receipt and throwing it on the table, not even saying thank you. I'm a server myself, and I've never hovered over guests when they chose gratuity and always say thank you. I was here a weekend prior to this visit with other family. We were not treated this way by another waitress, who was kinder to us. Just odd our waitress did this, and I was upset that she didn't think 18% was good. All she did was take our orders. Not even clean the table or pick up plates. Entitlement at its finest.

This place was packed, likely due to the small size of the place and the people standing around waiting. I felt like we were just on top of each other. The food was fine - it wasn't bad but nothing special.
My partner and I went to Lucien when we were last in New
My partner and I went to Lucien when we were last in New York, and our only regret is that we didn't come sooner. Reservations are limited and by phone only. I recommend calling a few weeks ahead of time. When we arrived, they were still getting the table ready, so we ordered a couple white Negronis at the bar. Before the bartender could finish our drinks, our table was ready. It is a small space, so you will be directly next to someone and hear their conversation, but that's to be expected in New York and is part of the experience. Our server was wonderful and recommended a bottle of red which we ended up loving. For dinner got the escargot, octopus, and the steak frites. All were exceptional, although the steak was a tad undercooked. The highlight of the meal was the profiteroles dessert. DO NOT skip dessert! We grabbed the host's number when leaving so we can make a reservation next time we're back!
Love this place.
My favorite steak in NYC. The staff is very accommodating and the service is fast. It's hard to get a reservation, but if you walk up to the bar and grab a seat you can eat there.
Loved the the vibes of this place, it's cozy and super full
Loved the the vibes of this place, it's cozy and super full of life. The food was very good as well
I reluctantly came to dinner here.
I read past reviews about the hostesses being rude but they were quite nice. The servers judge you if you block the bar area among faces at people. In addition, our server asked us 11 times if we wanted more food when we were completely content. She was mad that we didn't want more food so she told her manager to basically kick us out right at 9pm even though we had a 7:30pm reservation. Who kicks people out like that. They don't speculate that in their reservation policy - which there is no reservation policy FYI. Oh yes and also as many other people mentioned, glasses were breaking and hit my girlfriend on the back. DO NOT GO HERE. So many better places in NYC. Heed this warning.
Got the steak au poivre frites, moule frites, pate, mesclun
Got the steak au poivre frites, moule frites, pate, mesclun salad, asparagus salad, dozen oysters, merguez, octopus and the chocolate cake. All good and the scene wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be. Would go back for the steak or mussels. Good portions on the mussels.
My boyfriend and I came here for dinner.
We had a 9pm reservation that we made 2 months in advance. At 10pm we still had not been seated. After 1.5 hours of waiting, we finally left. If you don't personally know the staff, would highly recommend going somewhere else for dinner, or else you will likely also wait over 1.5 hours for your table that is smushed next to another couple.
Ambience and service was nice.
Food, however, was overpriced and not good - food poisoning next day.
Quintessential NYC
We had a fabulous experience at Lucien! Our table of six expected and embraced the cozy, noisy atmosphere. We had excellent food and great service. Our group of four middle aged adults and two college students shared the mussels, escargot, and sardines to start. The entrees included steak & frites, squab, and the short ribs. Everyone ate everything! The sardines and escargot were especially good. I liked that the escargot were not in shells so very easy to eat. One suggestion that I would offer is that the loud music is unnecessary as the noise of the customers increases. It was hard to hear one another at times and for anyone with any hearing issues it would be a real problem.
Must've Been Good A While Back
We had a reservation for lunch today for noon. The restaurant is tiny with a large bar. The tables are crowded together and you can hear your neighbor's conversation. We were initially seated in back but it was too loud, too dark and too crowded. I couldn't even get up to use the restroom. They moved us to the front of the restaurant, to a table for 2 right next to the front window. Both of us were cold due to the draft from the window. It took the wait staff 15 minutes to come see if we wanted something to eat or drink. Once we ordered the wine and it was brought, it was another 15 minutes before someone came over to see what we wanted to eat. The food is good, but overpriced! I've never paid $46 for 3 scallops! The wait staff didn't check on us once! We would have had another bottle of wine and dessert, but since no one came over, we left cash for our meal and left. I would not return, and can't recommend.
The reviews are mostly right about this place.
It's very overhyped and truly seems like a place where people go for the scene more than anything else, but not everything was bad. As others mentioned, they make you wait even when you have a reservation. This worked out well for me because I'm always late, and once I arrived, everyone was seated. In terms of the food, we ordered the escargot, mussels in white wine sauce, rabbit over pappardelle pasta, filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, and the duck. My favorites were the escargot and filet mignon. The escargot had this delicious garlic and herbs sauce, and the filet mignon was cooked perfectly medium rare. The fries were nice and crispy, and I loved the peppercorn sauce. I also loved their warm, crusty bread,I think we went through 5 different bread baskets. The desserts were nothing special, we had the chocolate cake and creme brulee. With the alcohol our bill came out to around $900. Just as others mentioned, they definitely did something to make you over tip with their tricky calculations so you need to pay close attention. The service was mostly ok but this one man would just come and try to away our food without even asking if we were done eating which was quite rude. The rudest person was a very pale waitress with short black hair. I'm glad I tried it out, but this is not a place that I need to repeat.

I don't really have words but this has been on my list for a while since it's such a popular restaurant, but wow. This place is awful I don't understand what the hype is about. Service was insanely awful, so rude. The food was equally as bad- my friend and I didn't eat our food and the waitress didn't say a word. They put our wine bottle next to us and put the table to next to us' bread plate ON TOP OF THE WINE GLASS to save fucking space as my friend is gluten free. This place sucks. End of story do not go here.
Very loud, and music on top of it.
Good food, we had steak frites and rabbit. Tasty fries and rabbit sauce. Steak slightly hard, as was the rabbit. tiny table. Very loud place, and music on top of it. Enjoyable but were glad to leave.
Don’t bother
From photos looks great, nice crusty old village place. BUT the menu prices were not updated on the website and everything was 6$ more than advertised. Prices are astronomical for the quality and rude-almost humorous-service. We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for an occasion and were seated next to the kitchen which was NOISY and HOT. Overall, a lousy experience all around. And the photos which looked charming failed to reveal the grimy intererior which looks like it was last painted in the 1980s.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Last Reply by 👻 @EnjoyableJelly34 (11/14/2022 12:34 pm)5 Thumbs Up2 Replys, 0 commentsWhose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Best answer by 👻 @HandsomeCollar14 (06/29/2022 11:31 am)4 Thumbs Up7 Answers, 3 commentsWorking on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Best answer by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (09/18/2021 1:07 am)3 Thumbs Up2 Answers, 2 commentsWhere do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
Best answer by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/13/2021 9:05 pm)3 Thumbs Up12 Answers, 2 commentsWhat happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
