Luke

I am in town for a business meeting. I was treated to lunch at Luke. The nostalgia gets me and anyone that follows me knows this. The decor, the server's uniforms; it all made it that much special even before the food arrived. I had the opportunity to try the barbecue oysters. The look made me think the taste would be strong or spicy. However, to the contrary, the flavor was full and almost undescribably delicious. The brussel sprouts are bursting with flavor. The shrimp and grits were served in a skillet and looked to have more ingredients than you'd expect. I didn't try it but someone at the table ordered it and raved about it. I had the tuna tar tar with shrimp chips. It was prepared to perfection.

Great experience at Luke for a small group of 5. The table next to us had 8 and we had two servers dedicated to our two tables. Attentive service, water glass never empty, and exceptional food. I was surprised at the volume control... full restaurant and we did not have to yell to hear each other. Pictures: roasted duck, roasted chicken, chocolate mousse, and bread pudding.

We went to Luke prior to a concert and their service was very fast. The food was quite tasty and the drinks were good. Oysters and pompano were well executed and the staff was friendly. Overall Luke was a good experience for a casual meal. The atmosphere was fair, needed some updating and windows back to kitchen needed some cleaning.
