Lucas Local Oyster Bar 775 Main Street South, Southbury, CT 06488

"Walked in without reservations on a Friday night and sat at the bar. Their cocktails are beautiful... I believe I got something called a Mermaid Garden... Delicious, strong, and pretty ✅✅✅. We also ordered their oyster and clams happy hour which was yummy and fresh but their mignonette was a bit too sweet and didn't pair well."

"Very good service, atmosphere and food. Spicy Lolita is the drink. Spicy if you can handle it! We got the oysters which were amazing! Pork belly app was very tasty. Scallop dinner with slab bacon was very good! The steak was plain, not seasoned. I've had that happen at other restaurants and not sure why. All it needed was sea salt and maybe a little pepper and it would have been an 8 out of 10 but I would say it was a 6 or 7 for flavor. But it was good quality and a big portion, 12oz I believe. Espresso martini was excellent and the open face cookie for dessert was a great way to end the night."

"David was the best! The food was perfect in temperature & balance, and the place was immaculately clean. The bar and restrooms have purse hooks, which is always appreciated. We started with bourbon drinks, oysters & crab legs, then had a scallops dish & venison dish, and finished with espressos and panna cotta. Everything was cooked perfectly and served on time."

"Great meal - terrific waitstaff - Stevie was awesome, friendly & genuine. We truly felt well cared for. Drinks were fantastic - we had the Mermaid's Garden and the Bark No Bite. The desserts were to die for - I've never had a better Panacotta. Food was very good to excellent! We will be back!"
