Wonderful lunch on a cold day visiting from out of town! The smoked salmon croissant was delicious, my wife staying it was better than any salmon she’s had in a while! She also loved the side salad. Cocktails were well-crafted as well. Butter salad with steak was wonderful too!

I recently celebrated my 60th birthday at the bistro, and I truly cannot say enough about the outstanding food, service, and atmosphere! We hosted around 40 guests, and everyone raved about the attentive and professional waitstaff. The Steak Frites were a huge hit, and the Salmon entrée was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The mini pastries from the bakery were absolutely delicious—such a perfect touch!
The bar offered fantastic signature cocktails along with an impressive selection of beer and wine. The ambiance throughout the evening was warm, inviting, and simply unbeatable.
To top it all off, the Airbnb upstairs was stunning and made the perfect venue for continuing the celebration with friends and family. Having the bakery just a few steps away was such a bonus—being able to grab a hot cup of coffee at 7:00 AM the next morning was the icing on the cake.
This place is a gem. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We had the best experience at Roux & Lucia Bistro! Everything from start to finish was absolutely perfect. We started with an espresso martini (which was spot-on) and then shared a charcuterie plate, avocado toast, and a Croque Monsieur. The charcuterie was top-notch, with really wonderful quality and fun choices. The avocado toast was hands-down the freshest I’ve ever had…topped with a roasted Romano tomato and even little capers tucked in. Pure perfection. The Croque Monsieur was just as amazing, warm and comforting.
The outdoor patio is such a lovely spot to relax, and honestly, the whole place is spotless. Every detail…from the monogrammed plates to the black napkins and pretty silverware, makes you feel a little bit special just sitting there.
We left already talking about when we’d come back. Without a doubt, we will be back soon!

Roux and Lucia is a French and Italian inspired restaurant. I believe they serve brunch, lunch items, dinner and dessert. There is also a bakery that serves muffins, bread, coffee and ice cream. There is also a market where you can purchase menu ingredients and tons of cute food items and household items. A relaxing atmosphere and very friendly staff! Love the neighborhood feel! The food was delightful and flavors were balanced. A nice variety of items on the menu.

This restaurant is a bit of a roller coaster. I’ve had some really great experiences here, but also some pretty disappointing ones. For the price you’re paying, consistency should really be a priority. When things are good, they’re very good—but it’s hard to keep giving chances when the experience varies so much.
Honestly, it might be worth bringing back the chef you had when you first opened. That seemed to be the best era of this young restaurant. Hopefully they can get back to that level, because the place definitely has potential.

Delicious!! This is the exact spot Dubuque needed. In the cutest historic building, with scrumptious baked goods, and soon to be an ice cream shop as well Prices were reasonable, parking lot is small but easy to access, and they have a big menu.
Stopped here on a Sunday morning and there was a line of people, but service was fast and friendly. They have a variety of pastries, bread, quiche, cookies, croissants, and sandwiches. Everyone in line was talking about how great they were, but go fast as they sell quick!
I’d suggest in warmer months to add some tables or seating outside as it’s small inside with few seating options. Still a great spot though, will definitely be back.

Roux & Lucia: Room to Grow, But Worth a Visit
TL;DR: Roux & Lucia has great potential. If they can streamline their customer service and improve the front-of-house experience, this could easily become one of the best restaurants in town. We’ll be back for the food and the atmosphere, and we’re hopeful that with a few tweaks, the service will soon match the quality of the kitchen.
Update – August 2025:
We visited again hoping the earlier hiccups had been smoothed out, but this recent experience was undeniably worse. Yet again, the host stand was confusing and unorganized—and this time, our reservation wasn’t honored properly. Despite having reserved a table for a business lunch, we were told our reservation was for seats at the bar. The whole interaction was awkward and frustrating, and it left us standing around while other groups were seated without issue.
The food didn’t redeem the visit either. I ordered the same sandwich from before, and it came out underwhelming and lacking the flavor and consistency I’d enjoyed on the first visit. The inconsistency—not just with food, but in the overall guest experience—is becoming a real concern.
I genuinely want Roux & Lucia to thrive. The space is stunning. The menu is creative and shows real potential. But the continued front-of-house disarray and unreliable food quality make it hard to recommend at this point. We’ll give it some time and hope for changes before considering another visit.

We were excited to try Roux & Lucia after hearing about its fresh, elevated menu and beautiful space. Our visit started off a bit rocky—parking was easy enough, but signage was limited, and we accidentally wandered into the bakery before figuring out where the restaurant entrance was. Once inside, it took a while to find the host, and the check-in process was confusing and a bit unwelcoming. We waited about 10 minutes for a table, only to be told the wait would be longer due to a mix-up with the order of arriving guests. It felt a bit disorganized and, honestly, no one seemed eager to greet or help us at first.
But once we were seated, things improved. The decor is absolutely stunning and the ambiance is lively—this place has a wonderful energy and feels like it could become a real community favorite. Our server, Ashley, was a highlight: friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu.
The food was the real star. The burrata & pesto on focaccia was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and something I’d order again and again. The curry chicken salad was sweet and delicious, and the house chips were a tasty touch. Unfortunately, they were out of the burger, which was disappointing, and our sandwiches didn’t come with the advertised pickles. Still, the quality of the ingredients and the creativity of the menu left us optimistic.
Drinks took a little while to arrive, but once they did, we enjoyed them. The cocktail list is fun and adds to the experience.
Pro tip: Stop at the bakery next door for a giant cookie to share for dessert on your way out.

We went here for a date and had a wonderful time! I made a reservation for 8:45p, which I knew was late and received a call that it was still okay to order even though the kitchen closed at 9. We showed up early at 8:35 and got sat right away.
We ordered some speciality cocktails for the season – a tiramisu espresso martini and some sort of melted snowman blue drink. They were very delicious!!
We started with the cheese and charcuterie board. And for the entree the burger with an egg and the Ragu alla Bolognese (has carrots for others with allergies!). We were also served bread with some garlic and herb butter. All in all, a wonderful meal
Our server, Sage, was wonderful to engage with and was super polite. ☺️
