My family has attended Lucile s Thanksgiving for the past several years and have enjoyed our time spent at Lucile s on Thanksgiving. Well, yesterday was the first time we had a bad experience on Thanksgiving. We booked a later reservation so the other side of the family could enjoy Thanksgiving with their family. This was a huge mistake and now we know to always book earlier in the day. It took 15 minutes just to receive water and even longer to receive our cocktails. The food was delicious as always and very enjoyable. Before we received our pies they began flickering the lights on and off which is extremely rude. We felt rushed at that point and ended up requesting our pies to go. We normally like to enjoy our pies over coffee, but due to the lights flickering on and off and the wait staff acting like we were a nuisance to shove us out we decided to get ready to go. Our reservation was at 3:45 and we were leaving by 4:45 due to the way they were trying to rush us. We tried to order a dinner to go for my disabled brother who can t get out of the house and they had already thrown all the food away. I understand they are trying to clear the kitchen so they can get home to their families, but if you aren t going to provide the same standard and consideration to your paying customers that made a reservation then they shouldn t take reservations that late especially if they want the business closed by a certain time. This was the most rushed, unenjoyable experience that we have had at Lucile s during Thanksgiving Dinner. We didn t get to enjoy each other s company. By the time the cocktails made it to the table they were already bringing the food. We ended up having to slam our cocktails after multiple light flickers and taking everything to go since they made it very apparent they wanted everyone out. Even the table next to us were making comments about the flickering of the lights. Total bummer Lucile s. We will not be attending another Thanksgiving here going forward, it completely ruined our experience as well as our time spent as a family considering some of us drove over an hour to attend a 45 min dinner.
