Why go
Luce is a $$ Mediterranean restaurant with a strong public signal: a 4.7 Google rating across 1,659 reviews and 307 Blackbird on-chain check-ins recorded from October 10, 2024 through May 11, 2025. The Blackbird crowd shows up most on Saturdays and Fridays, which fits the restaurant’s cozy energy.
The reviews point to a small, beautifully decorated room, polished service, and food that lands hot and fresh.

Luce’s Blackbird check-ins are busiest on Saturdays and Fridays, making weekends its clearest on-chain popularity signal.
