LUCY'S,

Walking into Lucy's, we were immediately captured by the classic hues of Fiestaware and the fringed cotton napkins rolled next to them on the tables. The warm wood and burgundy naugahyde cushions of the booths were also inviting, as well as the the miniature Italian columns in the room -- reminders of Cafe Verdi's former residency here. Lucy's menu is eclectic, giving a modern twist to the place's Old World elegance. The chefs sashay from Italian cuisine to Southwestern, gnocchi to quesadillas, and nod to Asian specialties along the way. The braised chicken ($14.95) and pan-roasted tilapia ($16.95) were particularly delicious.
