They were able to readily make recommendations and adjustments for my severe food allergy. Parking: There is some free parking on the street and around the block.

I've reviewed Lucky before, but I was recently moved to reiterate how AMAZING and GROUNDBREAKING Roanoke's Premier Restaurant and Mixologist Incubator truly is... After enjoying a truly overwhelming(ly positive) large birthday party experience at another of our local favs (Stock), a small group of our closest & oldest friends and family came to Lucky for afterparty snacks and drinks. OF COURSE several of us had "The Cube" a Signature Lucky Classic cocktail that uses a select bourbon shot poured over a cider & local herb-infused ice cube; that evolves over time as the cube melts into the bourbon. Pro-tip: Get a "re-pour" of bourbon when your drink gets shallow. As always the wine selection is UNPARALLELED. I am never disappointed and often surprised by the mainstays and new wines from all over the world, INCLUDING high-quality Virginia Wines on occasion. We needed a special late-evening snack, so we ordered several of the Roasted Marrow Bone appetizers. They were HUGE and so rich & creamy!!!!!! The salad included is always refreshing and a perfect green-note contrast to the literally melt-in-your-mouth roasted beef marrow, as well as the perfect accoutrement of thin crusty bread slices. But the secret highlight of this dish is the "Marrow Luge" or "Marrow Shot" after the delicate marrow is all consumed and a hollowed out beef bone remains; a bonding ritual where a trusted friend pours a full shot of your chosen bourbon down the bone hollow as you catch it in your mouth at the base. It's not extremely easy to pour the bourbon at the right rate and it's not always easy to drink it smoothly at the end. However, the flavor of aerated bourbon sliding down and absorbing the marrow juice on the way to your palate is SUBLIME and the experience of sharing it with a friend is a "Life Tile" for both of you. Lucky (GOD BLESS Hunter, JP & Co.) has led the way for Roanoke's Restaurant & Cocktail Revolution for a very long time, and they remain the lead dog. Always innovating, always challenging themselves, always responding to the community, always delicious, always cozy and stylish. Lucky and its INCREDIBLE STAFF has become our "Go-To" for a consistently satisfying meal, a late-night cocktail, a wind-down drink at the end of a hard day, and a place "where everybody knows your name" when you walk in. Rising Mixologists Taylor and Kenton are literal alchemists following in Hunter's line of Sorcerer's Apprentices at the bar. The kitchen staff know exactly what they are doing to make each dish memorable and delectable. The waitstaff is responsive, brilliant, and effortlessly graceful under pressure. The decor is impossible to pigeonhole yet opulent and relaxing at the same time. JUST MAKE A RESERVATION & EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELVES, TONIGHT!!!! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Massachusetts Diver Scallops, Rappahannock Oysters on Half Shell, Diver Scallops, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Steak Frites, Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Fried Chicken, Roasted Marrow Bones

Crazy thing is I don't get to Roanoke but maybe once or twice a month, the first time went the Lucky Restaurant I took my friend and we had a very enjoyable time. She had never been in this place though she walks by it on most days. We tried a dessert that was good but was not what we expected and we asked for something different and they brought it to us and it was absolutely delicious it really was a great place to bring a date.
