First timer here to this establishment: We went to Lucerne’s to celebrate a birthday and what a good time. My friends had experienced this establishment before and invited me to join them. What a treat! Lucerne’s in not just a meal, it’s an EXPERIENCE! Mark was our host and he is an expert in his craft. I loved the ambience, the old Victorian home atmosphere, the paranormal chat, the food…EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! I can’t wait to go back. PS: My glass of wine was FREAKIN’ HUGE!

A lot of people feel they are critics when writing reviews, and so I always hesitate making them but this place is worthy of an outstanding review. We came to visit for our anniversary, and while my boyfriend does great fondue at home à la my 70s kitchenware, I was told again and again to try Lucerne’s and couldn’t help asking him if we could go for our anniversary. It did not disappoint and the owner should be proud of the unique and utterly magical place he has created. We both walked away so happy and elated from our wonderful experience, which was perfect for our romantic night. From the whimsical and eccentric setting, being in a beautiful old (and possibly haunted) Victorian house turned dining room, to the wonderful and attentive service guiding us through each and every course, the generous wine pour, the slow and romantic pace, and the very agreeable pricing I think we may abandon my old fondue pot to come back again and again. A true treasure in a town they claim doesn’t have fine dining, this is an elevated experience that is fun and so well curated. Naysayers have no whimsy or taste in my humble opinion. I can’t rave about it enough!

This little secret getaway is a fun experience in Rockford. It’s camouflaged as an old Victorian style home on the corner of a busy intersection, while on the inside it’s a fondue food journey back in time. The atmosphere made the experience even more exciting. This was a priceless birthday memory for us. I love the architecture and story behind the restaurant. The menu consists of Beethoven’s Symphonic titles. The host has an interesting story about the last symphony. For those who love classical music, this experience is perfect. It’s an interesting dining experience for sure. There was even lightning ambiance and classical music in the background. The only complaint I have is there were only 3 pieces of shrimp for my main course selection. Other than that, the price, serving sizes, service, taste, and atmosphere was great!

We enjoyed our experience at Lucerne’s. The food was pretty good. The customer service was amazing. Our server did a great job taking care of us and the other people dining in. It was a full house. I appreciated the history of the property. It is a beautiful house. It’s definitely an experience worth trying.

No other place is like Lucernes. The owner is incredibly hands on and treats you like honored guests. The wine flows with heavy pours and wonderful company.
The food is excellent. The atmosphere is sublime and food is incredible. Be prepared to spend some time here (atleast an hour) but it will be well worth your time.
