Chef Suzanne Goin was nominated for the Outstanding Chef of the Year James Beard Award every year from 2008 to 2011 for her first endeavor, which opened in 1998 and remains as good as ever. The restaurant shines with a warm dining room, an enchanting patio, and a menu of bright, full-flavored food (chickpea soup with ditalini pasta, bloomsdale spinach, and ricotta salata; Cape Cod clams with pancetta, turnip greens, vermouth, white beans, and aioli toast), based on raw materials from sources "guided by principles of sustainability."

Tips

Suzanne Goins resinous herbs and precise splashes of acidity make vegetables dance and bring out the deep, fleshy resonances in braised pork cheeks and her notorious short ribs.

The much-lauded Sunday Suppers ($45 per head) are still the best bargain here.

Inventive Mediterranean-French, curated creatively. "Dishes like grilled chicken with risotto carbonara and wild mushrooms; and endive with Dungeness crab..." -Travel + Leisure on TripExpert

Entourage happened here. Could this be where Eric and Sloan first fell in love? Could you blame them with this ambience?

Lucques, named for a vivid green variety of French olive, is located in Harold Lloyd's old carriage house. Sunday family dinners are legendary. Prix fixe dinners.

Suzanne Goin's Sunday Supper is not to be missed - a superb value for the price.

The kabocha squash salad, though odd on menu, is one of the best things I've eaten in ages. This place is constant and divine. DIVINE.

I love Lucques! I think it's the best restaurant in the country. Go on Sundays and have the great Sunday Supper! -Ryan Scott, Top Chef

Order any one of speciality drinks at the bar, take a seat by the fireplace, and get ready for a culinary joyride along the Mediterranean. Let Suzanne do the driving and order the tasting menu.

The menu was varied and interesting, very well prepared. You can wait for your table by the fire place which is great!
