This is the perfect restaurant. The decor is lovely and I am about to write accolades about the service but hands down this is the most complex, fresh, unique and wonderful food I have ever tasted. The bottom line is that every dish is prepared with the highest level of expertise and creativity and care that only the finest chefs in the world can produce. I feel very lucky that one can experience the ultimate in food --- right here in Portland. An absolute gastronomic event that no one should miss and everyone should experience. Trust me, when asked what the best meal of your life has been you will always say the meal at Lucier. We have been 3 times and are planning on returning often. The food is without question the finest in the city and probably the finest in the State. The staff is as good or better then any staff at any restaurant in the world. They are friendly, accommodating and able to be relaxed and comfortable to tables that need it as well as professional and refined to those other tables as well. Not knowing how truly fine dining this establishment is we brought our 9 month old baby and our six year old daughter on our first visit. They had a high chair waiting for the baby and offered to make something special for our six year old as soon as we arrived. They even took her on a tour of the kitchen and hung her picture up on their bulletin board which made her feel extremely special. Although I wouldn't recommend this place for most children ours had a fantastic time and there was even a 3 month old baby at another table who looked like she enjoyed her visit as well.
Pros: the most comples, unique and wonderful food
Cons: I wish I had enough to take home for lunch the next day
