Eat at Lucia

This video is a little unhinged because we came here for a birthday dinner,

but we ordered almost everything off the menu and I wanted to share with you guys.

I think because they're a new restaurant,

But the saltfish croquettes were so bomb.

I've never tried saltfish before and I loved it.

I'd honestly come here just for that and the Trini Mac pie.

The meats were tender and falling off the bone.

The salad might have been one of my favorites as well.
