• 90th birthday dinner

  EXCELLENT SERVICE! We had a 90th birthday here and they did a great job! The management and service staff were gracious, flexible and accommodating. It took a bit of finagling to get the table properly set up for our largely senior crowd. The food was delicious for the most part and well thought out for a large group. It was a set menu with no choices = PERFECT! Everything was served family style. The guests loved the mini lobster rolls and the tempura shrimp. The kale caesar salad was well textured and tasty although the fricos cheese chip was not crispy. Everyone gave me their anchovies so I was HAPPY! The mushroom and goat cheese omelette was very good. I think the burgers were a little underdone for the octogenarian crowd, but great idea to serve them in quarters and youngsters enjoyed them! The smoked fish platter was a bit hit and miss. The salmon and fixings and breads were fine, but the whitefish salad was a bit dry and flavorless. I didn't seem smoked. Everyone loved the desserts. The most important thing was they could hear each other. It wasn't quiet, but it was quiet enough which made the birthday gal HAPPY!

• birthday party, party of 12

  I frequent Lure often, and always have the most amazing time and great food, but last night Lure particularly went above and beyond to accommodate a birthday group for 12 people last minute at 10:45 pm. We had originally hosted a surprise party at Soho House, and because of the no photo policy, we went to Lure to cut the cake and have a round of drinks. They set up a BEAUTIFUL 12 person table for us, were so attentive to the party (even though they were nearly closing), kind to our table and so sweet to the birthday girl, and did not rush us with ordering food. We lingered in the restaurant for a long time after, and no one tried to rush us out, but rather said happy birthday again to the birthday girl when we left. I think more restaurants need to take note of the quality of service that Lure provides. They go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home, and it is noticeable! Thank you so much to Victoria and Cici, our servers, who were so fun to talk to and so incredibly helpful with cutting the cake, taking photos and delivering our food. Thank you to Judy the hostess who so kindly seated us and helped to prepare a wonderful table scape! Y’all all go above and beyond!!

• friends dinner, party of 7

  My friends and I were in the neighborhood having drinks and decided we wanted to grab dinner. We didn’t have a res and decided to just chance it and walked in as a party of 7 to a packed Lure. We were greeted by the hostess and the GM Orran and asked if there was room despite not having a reservation. He and the team up front were so kind and said he would see what he could do for us. Less than just a few minutes later he let us know he could make it work! Once seated we were greeted by our server Dee, and she was fantastic! Aside from listening to our specifics and actually following through, she was fun, and really stayed on top of our table’s needs. I always have a great experience at Lure, but this one stood out even more so I just wanted to share! (Also the Lychee martinis are fire!)

• birthday dinner

  Lure Fishbar was an excellent experience! Highlights were the sushi rolls, the tuna crispy rice, the 16oz NY strip steak, and the lobster mac and cheese. Got the big group reservation easily over the phone, and they really took care of us! Great vibes, perfect for a birthday. All of the steaks are Halal from Creekstone.

• coworker dinner

  Went to dinner here with my coworkers started off with crispy rice, deviled eggs, and shrimp, which they all tasted really good, flavorful, warm, and fresh. We ordered mock tails. I got the lychee soda, and my coworker got the lemon drop which they both tasted really good and flavorful and on the larger side of a drink. We ordered a couple different rolls, yellowtail sushi, followed by Sumisa, salmon and another salmon dish with potatoes and vegetables. I felt like I was in a boat due to the atmosphere being set like you’re on a ship. Staff was friendly and nice. The main boss stopped by our table to ask us how everything was going. I would recommend anyone that likes sushi followed by some good entrées and drinks. This is the place to check out date night celebrating your birthday or just going out with family. Give it chance.
