Meals of Fortune

Luckie Food Lounge Opens

The new resto sign says: Come one, come all.

You think: Okay, just have to ditch Vanessa the Vegan, Thrifty Tim, and that new jukebox junkie girlfriend of his. Guess that leaves … er …

Call us optimists, but tomorrow’s opening of Luckie Food Lounge might just tickle everyone’s fancy.

In short, there’s a lot going on: three aquariums, a full sushi bar, wood-fire pizza oven, live stage, and seating for more than 300. If that fails (how could it?), you could duck into the adjoining little sister bistro, Charm, for chocolate tortes and to-go sushi.

Add to that casual menu standards (spinach and artichoke dip, all-day omelets, pimento cheese and crackers) served in the main room and you’ve got the makings of a true crowd-pleaser.

Yes, even your crew.

Luckie Food Lounge, 375 Luckie Street, Downtown (404-525-5825 or luckiefoodlounge.com).
