Lucy’s is great. Glad to see it continue in the creston location!

I agree completely. Prior to covid they were open in the evenings with dinner and bar service. I would be excited to see that return since that stretch of Plainfield doesn't have many options for dinner/drinks.

I went to Lucy’s for dinner a few times when they were open in the evenings and enjoyed it. Went for trivia once too. Would be great to see them open later especially after they put in that full service bar

It’s a French restaurant. We discussed it a few months ago:

In poking around the development site at the city, I see that Condado Tacos is taking over the Omelette Shoppe in Breton Village. 2nd location for GR then. 

Sometimes it seems we could have a thread just for tacos restaurants:

Is Wahlburgers even that good?  It always seemed kind of gimmicky and all I've heard are mediocre reviews

[joeDowntown]

I ate there once. I thought it was pretty good (if standard burger/fries is your thing). Atmosphere was nice too. And I only passingly know the story of wahlburgers. It’s worth giving it a shot and I think they did a decent job pulling in elements of GR.
