Last week, I caught up with a friend at Lucky Robot on South Congress; for a weeknight at the end of June, the area was buzzing (Netflix was filming something next door at the Continental Club) and the restaurant was full! We were fortunate to snag a table without a reservation.

| Brussels tossed in a lemongrass soy marinade | 
  | 
Tako (octopus) and pork belly "sashimi" bites
  | 
  | 
Summer cebiche with white fish, baby corn, watermelon, jalapeno with a watermelon leche de tigre broth. Gorgeous plating, delicious and super refreshing! | 
  | 
| Hira hira (yellowtail tuna) maki roll  | 
  | 
A lovely glass of Gruner Veltliner. And see the wooden bud vase?  That's an elegantly designed QR code! | 
  | 
| The interior of Lucky Robot is certainly what you would call Instagrammable. (Or sensory overload, lol.) As June represents Pride/LGBTQ+ rights/visibility/equality, this bench seating is loud and proud and I loved it! (The photo also belies the crowded restaurant! This was taken right after the table next to us left.) | 
Side note, a friend and I had gotten carry out from Lucky Robot last summer that was also delicious!
  | 
| Stunning carryout chirashi bowl from last year; a version of this is now on their brunch menu. | 
  | 
| Also delicious were these pork belly buns | 
All in all, a successful venture out into the real world! What are your current summertime faves?
