Co-owner Jim Higgins describes Club Lucky as a 1940s-style supper club and cocktail lounge. The bar area is an exact replica of what was there in 1938. The signature drink is a killer martini -- shaken, not stirred, with hand-stuffed olives. You can dine in one of the lounge's red Naugahyde booths or in the 140-seat dining room. The menu includes several Sicilian specialties, served in generous portions. "We wanted to do the old family values," says Higgins, who is part Sicilian. "Big portions, family-style service, reasonable prices and good cocktails." Desserts and pastas are all house-made. Fun Fact: The aluminum and glass light fixtures in the dining room are replicas of pieces that were in the Empire State Building when it was built.

This place has excellent food and service, but can get really expensive (especially if you get drinks or dessert). I would still say it's worth it...
