The food at Lucille's is always good, aside from an excessive fondness for cilantro which doesn't belong in creole food. The ambience unfortuantely doesn't match. Indoor, the tables are packed together and it is always stuffy and incredibly noisy. They pretend any table that seats 4 is a ""community table"". A community table that seats a large number of people can be an interesting social experience . If all you want to do is have a quiet lunch with a friend and the only outdoor table available seats 4, the arrogant and offensive insistence of the stat that they could seat some strangers at the table seriously detracts from the dining experience and it really is miserable if they actually do it. It is too obvious that their intent is just to pack as many diners in as possible without regard to the actually dining experience .
Pros: good food
Cons: interior seating is crowded and noisy with a demonstrable indifference to the ambience
