Have Fun At Good Luck
Although I wouldn’t choose Good Luck (I can’t stand the name) for an intimate dinner, if you want fun and excitement, Good Luck (That name!) might be ideal. We sat at the bar on a Wednesday night, and the place was packed with happy diners. Leo was our bartender/server, and he was the consummate professional. My Mezcal Old Fashioned was mixed perfectly. Our food was delicious. I loved my chicken croquettes, and the duck dinner special was scrumptious. I gnawed on the bone. The gnocchi was light but flagrant with taste. I cannot stand leaden gnocchi. Cheesecake was unique and sublime. The bar is enormous, and the restaurant appears cavernous because of the use of mirrors. The noise also makes the room seem larger than it is. Good Luck (Please change the name) has excellent food and guarantees a good time.

Excellent ambiance and stellar service from a fast-moving staff that helps each other out. My waitress, Kimberly was very kind and helpful, and her assistant, Peter was absolutely fantastic. I had the shiitake mushroom and crab dish, which was wonderful. My favorite part was their "Violently Citrus" drink, which was tart and floral. A very unique blend that was refreshing. Since many establishments close before 11 PM, Good Luck is one of the few places that are open and that is great news because this is a place to visit.

Good Luck Restaurant is a collaboration between titans in the Rochester restaurant world (Dan Martello, Chuck Cerankosky, and Mike Calabrese) who dreamed of creating “as good a restaurant as you would find in Manhattan,” according to a 2017 profile from the Rochester Business Journal. I can’t speak to this comparison, but, at least from a culinary perspective, Good Luck is certainly one of the best around here. I’m detailing my most recent experience as an illustration, but we’ve been to Good Luck for dinner many times; Martello’s menus, which change frequently enough to be numbered as editions (currently on #158!) are unfailingly eclectic, well-executed, and creative. If right now (Oct. 2022) you want a non-pasta vegetarian main, virtually every restaurant across the city is offering only mushrooms or eggplant; in boldly offering a bean dish, Good Luck is a beacon of hope, meriting an honorary sixth star for the food. The only pitfall—and it’s a significant one—is that the combination of overcrowding and undiluted cocktails create a noise level that rockets right past “raucous merry tavern” level into “inadvisable for hearing health,” rendering what would elsewise be an uncontested celebration destination unsuitable for a group, family, or especially date. When “huh?” and “what?” become the most frequent utterances of your conversation, it’s impossible to fully enjoy the social experience. The restaurant itself, tucked demurely into a plain brick building on an ordinary looking side-street, feels like a secret shelter, with clean wooden tables circumscribing a central bar and a peaceful blue abstract mural bedecking the entire back wall. The first few minutes of our experience foretold what was to come: our prompt and friendly seating-and-greeting the start of impeccable service with perfect pacing, and the blasting air and ominously quiet music a hint of physical discomfort. According to their website, Good Luck does offer bottled wine, and indeed prefaces each choice with a few paragraphs describing what makes the vintner special. This list was not provided, but I imagine it’s available upon request. The selection of beer ($6-10) and wine by the glass ($10-16) is small, but also obviously curated; Louis, our knowledgeable server, took the time to describe each beer option and offered gentle suggestions. I appreciate that Good Luck offers not only indecipherable house-crafted cocktails ($14), but also neat “rare” whisky ($16) and classic drinks ($12) made as intended—an increasing rarity. I also appreciated that Louis kindly and believably lied when I asked if I pronounced Vieux-Carré appropriately. Protecting the customer’s ego is an unmistakable mark of quality service. We were given time to scan the menu, which, refreshingly, does not “categorize” the food as appetizer, entrée, etc.—a convention that often pigeonholes nontraditional restaurant fare into misleading categories— but roughly sorts it in order of heaviness. When we were ready to order, Louis suggested an appropriate pacing and split for our selections without missing a beat, even changing the plan on the fly based on my vegetarianism (!). Of course, I have less to say about the food I didn’t try (Hot Shrimp ($20) and the special Chicken Liver Tortellini ($25)). The shrimp were visually (and auditorily!) impressive—huge, crackly, and “cooked perfectly” in a spicy piri-piri sauce, plus thoughtfully served with wipes (though I suppose a hot towels would’ve been a classier alternative); I can only imagine the tortellini, floating in a caramelized sage-and-shallot sauce, were wonderfully rich. But I personally wanted to visit Good Luck for menu edition 159 to try a couple of specific dishes, which, delightfully, exceeded even my high hopes. The Baked Goat Cheese ($12) arrived piping hot in its cast-iron bakeware. It was arranged in a triptych: a puddle of pure butter sauce on the left hand and a dessert-sweet plum compote on the right, flanking a rind-on puck of cheese that was tremendously fatty, pleasantly funky, and adorned with battered roasted garlic and a heap of sauteed sage (NOTE: Good Luck uses herbs PROPERLY—not merely for garnish, but for flavor). This choose-your-own adventure layout (to try each component separately? To blend them in a single spoonful?!) enhanced the pleasurable playfulness of the dish. A generous portion of soft but substantial focaccia was a perfect accompaniment. Were it any richer, it would’ve been akin to eating compound butter. It is one of the best things I have eaten in recent memory. My second dish (described as “Roasted Artichokes” with beans, but more accurately beans with artichokes ($19)), was also effectively perfect. I have cooked my fair share of beans, but (perhaps for health reasons…) have never managed to create bean broth with the unctuous richness of this one in which the butterbeans were marinating. Salty and umami, every single beans was intact and toothsome—not a one mushed or broken!,—their richness broken up with the bright grassiness of a few roasted artichoke hearts and a thoughtful smattering of microgreens. Thick ribbons of parmesan punctuated and enhanced the dish in the way that accented notes complement a symphonic theme. ...And in both cases, there was just enough food: no feeling of deprivation, but satiation, a readiness to move on to a new flavor at just the right time. For dessert, my fiancé tried the sundae special ($10), which included Biscoff ice cream with Biscoff sauce and house-made whipped cream and a REAL cherry. I only sampled this, but, tellingly, the man finished it (even the whipped cream!), despite announcing that he probably couldn’t. And I had coffee (they had an option for decaf Americano ($4!) and the Chocolate Hazelnut Tart ($12), which was a league above the last one I tried at another local establishment, a mélange of textures and complementary but distinct flavors: a charmingly soft and pliable chocolatey crust, enveloping a rich filling with the taste of salted Nutella but the texture of custard, and blanketed in small chunks of sugared hazelnuts. The only thing that could’ve elevated this dish would’ve been some tiny presentation detail for interest—perhaps dollop of fresh cream and a few big plain hazelnuts in the middle?—given its appreciable size. The tart could’ve easily been shared, but I love my dessert, and was glad to have a large portion all to myself (!). So, the food is spectacular, and there are other great things about Good Luck: again, fantastic service, which was neither intrusive or inattentive, and friendly despite being busy—Louis chatted congenially with my fiancé without seeming rushed or frazzled, even as the night wore on and the crowds swelled. Little touches like a clean bathroom with a mirror at leg level for ladies (a thoughtful detail, to be able to carefully check one’s skirt!). Not to mention the regularly multi-course pairing dinners, which have never failed to impress us. Again, the major problem here is the noisiness. It was impossible to chat comfortably. We couldn’t discuss the food—or anything else, for that matter—once 6:30 PM hit. If only Good Luck would invest in some noise-canceling paneling or reduce the restaurant capacity…! Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen because it isn’t profitable. But in the off chance that one of the owners reads this, perhaps they will take into consideration the one major obstacle holding us back from frequenting Good Luck far more often than we do.
Be the first to ReplyOk, but underwhelming
Tried this places "legendary" burger. It was a good burger, but not anything special. It was smothered in overcooked fries. Why hide your main dish under a pile of 'filler' (fries, rice & etc are inexpensive fillers). The crust on the burger was almost too hard. I've had overcooked fried chicken that was softer. Disappointing. The wife had a pasta dish that was more of an 'appetizer size'. Again, very underwhelming. Been here before and the food was outstanding. This trip was not. Server did a good job.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic first visit!
First visit, totally awesome. Food was awesome but service won us over. Luis is the best waiter we have had since moving to ROC. Highly recommend
Be the first to ReplyFood sucked.
Have gone to Good Luck for years and it has changed with the new chef. Portions were large in the past because they were meant to be shared. With the new chef the old concept of dining has gone out the window and with the exception of the burger the old menu items are gone. We ordered the burger, halibut and ravioli at the bar. In the past Good Luck would let you order take out and this time we were told they don’t do take out anymore, not that you will find the change on the website. The bartender was kind enough to take the order and box it up anyways. We had to very good drinks. The medium rare burger was over done. The fries tasted like they had been fried with old oil and fish. Halibut was mushy in a bland cream sauce and the ravioli numbers about five and were not big for $25. The ravioli did have leek in them as the menu said but they need to cook/purée the leek. Ravioli should not be crunchy. My wife called to express concern about the meal and the hostess proceeded to yell at her. The hostess did not eat the meal yet maintained are pallets were bad. The hostess seemed to be more concerned about getting the bartenders in trouble for breaking the rules then at listening to a long time customer. For now avoid this place unti Calabrese gets his house in order. Perhaps get the old chef back and send this one back to Philly.

Our bartenders at Redd recommended Good Luck for a nightcap and boy were they right. Atmosphere is cool and cocktail list is very creative. Didn’t get to try the food but the cocktails were worth the trip. Don’t miss it.

Attended a small wedding dinner at the Jackrabbit Club Event Venue of the Good Luck Restaurant. Facility was really nice and the food was phenomenally good. The chef prepared the food in full view of the seating area and aroma abounded. Bar and wait staff were all very, very good. Food was so good that I expressed my compliments directly to the chef. Covid protocols were in place.

Great menu and service. I was with a large group from work and we ordered so many different dishes. I ordered the tofu sandwich, excellent! I also tasted the lentils and trout. All very good. Our waiter even suggested a great wine. I will definitely return on my next trip.
Be the first to ReplyTruly enjoyed the menu and ambience.
A bit pricy, but the food and ambience are worth it. Don't miss the Good Luck Burger! Good drink menu. Good service.
Be the first to ReplyAnother excellent dinner at Good Luck!
Date night is special at this place! We started out with an appetizer that was on special - Black Truffle Liver Mousse. I know - it sounds weird. Neither of us had tried liver before and we were very hesitant about this dish. It was served on two crunchy bread toasts with radishes and celery. It was quite a tasty combination! The black truffle and liver paired well with the crunchy veggies (and of course the bread). We then had the Sicilian Pizza topped with spicy sausage, sun dried tomatoes, fontina cheese and a balsamic reduction. Their pizzas are so yummy - the dough is perfectly crisp on the outside and softer on the inside. Finally, we had the Ricotta Gnocchi. Pillowy soft gnocchis with braised beef, cipollini (onions), and a rappini pesto. This dish was amazing. The braised beef was so delicate and juicy! All of the flavors are fresh and wonderful. Great service, perfect ambiance, and amazing food. Good Luck - we cant wait to come back!
