June 5th 2012: Dinner at Luciano's Restaurant Union Station, Worcester

Today after work, I decided to have dinner with my colleague at Luciano's Restaurant Union Station in Worcester. I have been to Byblos Lounge on the opposite side of the main hall in Union Station a few times, but I had never been to the classy looking bar across the hall. I got a $40 Groupon deal for this place recently, so I decided to use it to catch up with my colleague today.

For such a classy looking place, the food was actually pretty cheap, and we had to order a lot just to reach $40. We got the Cherry Duck Wings appetizer, and my colleague got the Bugsy Burger with Canadian bacon, mushrooms and cheddar chesse, while I got the Chicago Mac and Cheese with applewood bacon and Ritz crumbs.

All the dishes were really good, although the cherry duck wings had a little too much cherry flavor for a non-cherry fan like me, and I don't usually like Mac and Cheese either, but what I had was perfect. We still had more to spend, so we got dessert as well, my colleague getting the Ritzy Lemon Cake, while I got the chocolate mousse, both of which were really delicious at as well.

At the end, we actually did not have to pay a single cent for our entire meal. What better way to end a day but with a free meal. I don't know why there are such bad reviews for this place, but I definitely recommend it any time.
