I was very thankful that Ralph mentioned the special of braised bone-in veal shank. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The meal, ambience, and service were all top notch. The carmaeraderie of the crew was contagious. My server Ralph was attentive but not intrusive. This was a five-star experience all around!

Easily one of the best restaurant’s in Rochester! The service was top tier! The wait staff was super attentive, knowledgeable and very efficient. Since this was an anniversary dinner we tried several different cocktails from the menu, all were excellent! I highly recommend the 32oz Rib eye, Chicory salad, Cacio e Pepe (pasta dish) to name a few. We will definitely be coming back!

One of my favorite places when visiting Rochester. Seasonal menu, fresh and delicious. Not afraid of creating new dishes or revamping classic and gotta say they do it quite well. One of the best cocktail menus too! And the service? Always great. Did I expect the lamb tagine to be a shank? Yes. But was I disappointed? Only a little bit because every spoonful of the lamb and coscous was so good.

Had zero expectations (was there for a work trip) and was absolutely surprised. I only took pics of the pizza, but great dishes all around and excellent cocktails. The pizza was a Roman style, leaning more toward a focaccia. Very good bake, the undercarriage was crisp along with the edges, very nice crumb, simple and and clean sauce, high quality cheese. The cheese was not just mozzarella, it was mixed with a fontina or blue cheese which gave it a bit of a funky flavor, which wasn’t my fav but still good and unique. Def worth a visit here

First visit. Ample parking. Reservation at 5. Seated at 5:10, after a drink at the bar. Drinks, ok, pricey. Ordered several items, Persimmon Tartine, Scallops w/Fennel Salad, Truffled Mushroom Ragu, Oxtail Ragout(yes, that’s spelled correctly:), and finally, Chocolate Truffle Cake for dessert. Every food item arrived as stated on the menu…correct textures/flavors/temperatures. Portions were a perfect size for sharing, with flavor combinations perfect! We could find no fault with any dish…and that’s quite rare! Service was as hoped without over or under attention. Again, something that is hard to come by these days. The execution from start to finish was spot on, and for a busy Friday night, that’s saying something! Expectations met/exceeded!

Parking on site is easy. Had a drink at the bar waiting for my reservation on a Saturday night, friendly staff made me a secret drink menu item, the Cathy, delightful and refreshing vodka (not pictured) 10/10, also had Saturn and easy friend (Strong!). Food was refreshing, great flavor. Loved the unique combination of the gem salad. Honestly the pork bolognese stole the show, that’s all you need to order! The sea bass we waited a long time for and this was unfortunately way too salty, for $42 especially. Overall a great date night. Thanks to our server who gave us good recommendations.

Loved this place. We had the burger, the double chicken fries, the duck breast, and the ricotta sacchettoni. It was all great. The chicken was the most tender and delicious chicken I've ever had. The duck was very good, but honestly not better than the chicken. Both of them were served on a really tasty bed of some pureed sauce. The fries were perfectly done, and extremely delicious. Oh, and the fancy sauce, which I believe they said was ketchup, mayo, and brandy, was really amazing. The burger was great, it was well seasoned, but in a way that really complemented the beef, not overpowered. Their homemade ice creams were also very well done, with really good and unique flavors. Cocktails were also different but very well done.

Stopped in for a craft cocktail on the way to dinner around the corner. The atmosphere is really cool and current. Staff were professional and friendly. Drinks were well made and appetizers were excellent. Highly recommended and we can’t wait to return for dinner. Definitely need reservations for dinner.

Good Luck is always one of my absolute favorite restaurants to go to in the city, and i always choose it for my birthday dinner! amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Everything is served family style, so it’s a great opportunity to try a bunch of dishes. order the good luck burger- you will never, ever be disappointed. the burger- cooked and seasoned to perfection. the good luck “fancy sauce”? insane. iconic. incredible. I want to buy it by the gallon and put it on everything. service is always impeccable, friendly, and prompt, and the servers are extremely knowledgeable. one of the best restaurants in Rochester!!

I ordered the Good Luck Burger. It tasted good, but I wish they hadn’t cut it into quarters, and I would have preferred the cheese melted on the burger. The fries were really nice and crispy. I sat at the bar, and the service was excellent. The server was very attentive.

Made a reservation over a month in advance with some friends. Have been wanting to come here for some time as I previously dined nearly 10+ years ago and remember having a phenomenal meal with huge sharing portions. We were seated immediately and our server was very friendly but It did take almost 15 minutes for us to get our drinks. We ordered several dishes and a couple rounds of drinks. Everything tasted phenomenal, however, the portions have drastically gotten smaller since I dined previously several years ago but of course pricing hasn’t changed. A $400 bill for four people and a couple of us left not completely full… As much as the food was delicious, I don’t think we will be back.

I love Good Luck and have been enjoying their food for years. However, they’ve drastically reduced the amount of french fries that come with their burger to the point where there’s barely enough to share. It’s a noticeable reduction, while the price of the meal remains the same. Really hoping they will either increase the price and go back to how they used to serve the meal, or simply serve the meal how it’s been prepared for years. The burger is a staple at their restaurant.

This was our first time visiting Good Luck! The staff were very friendly and attentive. We ordered a beer and a cocktail which were both very good. For food, we had a mushroom ragu dish which was creamy and well seasoned. It was a little more tangy than we would have liked. For entree, we shared a halibut dish. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was good as well. Our only complaint is that while we were told the dishes tend to be bigger since they were meant to be shared, both the pasta and the fish were quite small. When sharing among two people, we each got only a few bites of each dish. We felt like for the price, the portions could have been a little more generous. But overall, we enjoyed the dinner.

This used to be one of my go to spots! I still love their burger and fries but the menu quality has decreased over the years. Their clientele seems to have shifted, I would not visit this venue lat…

Overrated, bad service, over priced. The reviews of this place makes it seem like the next Michelin restaurant. Unfortunately it is very much overrated. Parking is difficult already to start. Atmosphere overall is ok and it does have ok decor, but unfortunately that's about all this place offers For whatever reason the staff seems to be intentionally unfriendly or aloof, and on top of that they were very quiet, almost difficult to hear. This is a loud place so it's quite bad from a service point of view. Food is extremely expensive as one can see. Despite the high price, the food isn't good and portion sizes are even worse. The lamb dish was super small and you can see from the picture. Cost of a whooping $34 and the dish barely had any lamb! Maybe a bite or two! The rest is just sauce and Couscous, which are not expensive. So what is with the exorbent price??? The gnoki dish is marginally better as it had more than a few bites of short ribs. Still the portion size is small and overall it's pretty mediocre for the price. Worst part is we were told by the staff that the portion size for one dish is enough for two people, which was patently untrue... Somehow they managed to mess up green tea ☕! It tastes very strange. It almost had a bitter taste to it and the glass was too small for the tea bag. This restaurant is only good in terms of vibes and atmosphere, and that's it. Very sad! We had to go to another restaurant afterwards.

Should be "good luck in getting a good meal." That is if you if you like lighter fare that is more vegetarian friendly. Completely baffled by the glowing reviews. Maybe the 20 somethings that seem to be the main customers are too busy drinking and looking around to know or notice the food/prices are not good. We had a reservation but we were (politely) placed at a high top table in the back to wait for 20 minutes and get an overpriced overly sweet drink (that the waitress somehow thought was on the lighter side and was not). It had strawberry in it, vodka, elderberry, etc. When we were seated we got the organic salad, that smelled like acetone, which indicates the oil had likely gone bad. Also had a bitter taste that was not the arugula. The mussels were OK tasting but there were only like 12 of them, and in this shallow bowl, with a drizzle of sauce and covered with what looked like a garnish of cilantro or parsley, not the usual mussels in a pot with sauce, generously immersed. Very scant for $20. Then the final disappointment, instead of getting the pizza I got the zucchini dish, which, though I asked the waitress if it was lighter than the pizza and she said yes or about the same, was deep fried or as she said in defense, pan seared, but it was breaded and oily and covered with some yellow sauce. I had actually mentioned that I had a bad pizza the night before somewhere else that was covered with some orange sauce, but I guess she did not take note. Not edible, not lite. Luckily she took it way and did not bill us. The pizza my friend ordered was bland. Just wow. It was really bad and I would not go back.
