About Lucian Books and Wine
Tall arched shelves of books run down one wall, a checkerboard floor leads to a marble bar backed by wine racks, and big windows face Peachtree Road; the shop stays open during service, and the host will hold a chosen book until the meal is over. The wine list is the anchor, deep enough to reward questions, and the kitchen works in small, seasonal plates: oysters, hamachi, a peach and cucumber salad, Duroc coppa, polenta, halibut and a caviar-topped omelet all show up in reviews and photos. Diners describe the room as quiet enough for conversation yet still lively, which keeps it on date-night shortlists. Dinner runs from 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, with Sunday and Monday dark. Prices sit high for small plates, one guest found a fixed menu underwhelming for the money, and Resy handles bookings; the Google score stands at 4.5 from 350 reviews.
