The Restaurant Review Was No Fluke Either
I applaud S. Irene Virbila’s review of Lucques (“Lucques Is No Fluke,” Restaurants, Jan. 10), not just because she was good enough to explain to us outlanders that the name is pronounced “Luke” but because it was a classic review.
When I taught journalism at USC and Cal State L.A., I thought I was giving my students a wide view of possibilities, but I don’t think I ever talked about restaurant reviews. Virbila touched all the bases--from service and tastes to decor-table aesthetics and the two bright ladies behind it all.
I also appreciated her mentioning one or two somewhat negative elements, which gave the whole review a ring of truth.
