Service was okay maybe the server was having an off day which happens. This place was recommended to me so I was excited but not impressed. The potatoes were wonderful and the brussel sprouts had great flavor and I loved the slices of pepper on them. The gumbo was not a good choice. The oysters were great. The cinnamon rolls looked great but that's about it. My friends didn't enjoy their burger. Pretty hard to mess up a burger but...
Absolutely fabulous! From the welcoming smile of the hostess, to the terrific servers and skilled kitchen staff, it was perfect. The food was art! We all gasped at the seafood tower. Not a morsel was wasted. My friends and I had an experience to remember and I can't wait to go back.
Overall I would give a 4.5. Nice place in town, you can see the workers here dressing nice to give you the best experience. However, it took forever for they come and order and bring the food to us. Fried oysters are perfect great, way more better than what I have in Oregon, of course cheap too! BBQ oysters are good, I don’t really like it. The bread are tasty. And … gumbo are soooo good! I mean it’s what I expected to have while I’m here. Real gumbo, but it’s so salty I can’t finish it all, wish I can have more rice or bread. The swordfish are perfect good. 100% recommended. But the pasta just like the gumbo could be really salty so … be careful.
All the food was delicious. Drinks were also on point. We had a small delay with getting a server in the beginning but they took care of it almost instantly. Their oysters from Parish are delicious. We also ordered a Flammenkuchen and everyone enjoyed it. I tried the chicken sandwich and must say the flavor was outstanding. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste good food.
I want to write a review to thank our server Mandy for her genuine hospitality. My friend and I had our last dinner in New Orleans and we came to Luke for the Happy Hour. The food was sublime, ambience was great. This is undoubtedly above many restaurants in the French Quarter. What sets this place apart from many of our other experiences was Mandy’s hospitality. She was genuinely nice and she shared with us her personal experience living in New Orleans. She mentioned the “Little things matter” attitude towards life of New Orleans. This will always stay in my heart. This is why the city is so charming and makes people want to keep coming back. Mandy was the first local person I really encountered and engaged in a conversation during my 4 days trip and she is making my trip memorable. Thank you, Mandy! Thank you, Luke! Your restaurant is lucky to have a gem like Mandy! I will definitely be back!
Very special place and rare find in New Orleans. This traditional venue allows for tasting the pure hearth of NOLA cuisine. Oyster and seafood dishes are greatly available at good pricing and at great local environment. No live music at the time of my visit and tables were available without reservations but I advise on better making in advance. Would go without hesitation and I encourage you to.
Sometimes when you get busy recommending places you find out getting one yourself is always worth it. This place is no exception. Lovely business lunch old school interior with a nice downtown location off of canal street and has a very nice menu to boot. 1st time trying oysters and this place made me a fan from how they present it to the absolute fresh taste. Absolutely incredible Crochet Madame is what I had w/the garlic fries and both slayed beyond expectations
The food was good overall. However, it is very over priced for a casual cafe atmosphere. The lobster was $65 for ONLY 1 medium lobster on a plate. You need to pay a la carte for each item! No fresh bread or rolls offered. The lobster was chewy and not cooked perfectly. I expect that for $65! The tables were small and the chairs were uncomfortable. Luke needs to pay attention to the details if they want to be a 5 star restaurant. I'd skip the place and find a place that has a better atmosphere more polished. The seafood tower was special. And very expensive. It was nearly $200.
I want here one night after Jazzfest. It was pretty good nothing special in my opinion. The oyster dish I had was pretty good. I will say the service was very good and the wine they suggest it was an excellent choice. The ambience is fairly basic, it has more of a business feel to it.
Interesting menu, good-not-great service, mediocre cocktails, very good food. Despite being a bit upscale in food options, it's not snobby. All of the waitstaff we dealt with were okay, attentive, but seemed to lack experience, so some things were just clumsy eg took our menus after we ordered drinks for some reason, and it took some effort to get them back so we could choose entrees. Cocktails were super slow and very bland, maybe understaffed at the bar. But the food was very good - well prepared, perfect seasoning without too much salt but still lots of flavor. Food came surprisingly promptly even though they were busy. I'd go back, but hoping their staff gets more experience under their belts.
