Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lucia's on the Lake offers "amazing food and service" with a stunning lakeside view. Known for its "excellent" seafood dishes, the restaurant's lobster linguine often steals the show. Despite occasional noise and reservation challenges, the "professional" staff and "impeccable" dining experience make it a "must-visit" spot in Buffalo.

    Our recent dinner at Lucia’s on the Lake was excellent. We were seated right at our reservation time. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for Christmas. The menu was extensive with many great choices. The food and drinks were terrific. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Overall it was a memorable experience. Two thumbs up.

    The noise level was quite loud. Minor distraction. John our server was fantastic. Friendly, personable and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. My wife had the halibut special and I had the French onion risotto. Both were great. The wedge salad and minestrone soup were very good also. 5 out of 5.
