Lucky's Cafe,

102 1/2 Grove Street, Worcester, 756-5014.

Tucked in a basement corner of the Northworks building, Lucky's Cafe is a little gem that deserves to be appreciated by a bigger audience. The staff is accommodating, entrees, appetizers, and desserts are imaginative and fresh; the background music is cutting-edge jazz, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable, considering the quality and quantity. Lucky's offers imaginative sandwiches and salads at lunch. Dinner entrees include seafood, pasta, chicken, steak, and vegetarian lasagna; but what we'll return for is he seafood Aegean, a generous serving of haddock baked with sliced red onion, chopped tomato, feta cheese, and fresh dill. This was a knockout dish.
