    Our first time visiting Beginner’s Luck and it was a start to a very enjoyable evening. We enjoyed the carrots and steak tacos of the day for appetizers. Chopped salad, seafood roll and cheeseburger for dinner and all were delicious. Our waiter Nathan suggested adding avocado to the chopped salad and we were glad we did The barista served up wonderful coffee and latte as well as delicious happy hour adult beverages Don’t pass up the flourless chocolate cake, shareable if necessary We will return for sure!

    Love the chopped salad and the burger is nice too. Would love some wines on happy hour vs just cocktails, but still going back again and again!

    Magnificent dinner at a quaint restaurant tucked away between stores. Chefs special of pork shank was incredible. They should keep this on the menu. Must have is th original chopped salad! It’s more than a salad- delectable and unique! I would highly recommend a patio table outside. Waitress was sweet, kind and friendly. She is a gem although I can’t recall her name. Will need to go back to try more dishes because there’s so many great options.

    Wonderfull hidden gem in the heart of Old Town. It's a smaller, quiter resturaunt tucked back in a small alley-mall. The food and drinks were amazing, and the service was fantastic. Pricing was a value compared to other resturaunts in the area.

    We’ve been one other time during restaurant week and enjoyed it. We had friends visiting and thought we would bring them. Everyone was really happy! Try the carrots! They are amazing! Also Poke bowl and salmon and steak sandwich special were off the charts good! Oh and the chopped salad amazing!!

    Great restaurant! They need to fix their location on Apple & Google maps definitely hard to find. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and attentive.
