    My wife & I went for Brunch. I picked Luke based partially based on a positive dinner experience at August, a sister resturant. First, our server (Candice, I think) was great. All smiles and southern hospitality. My wife ordered the pork belly appetizer & I had the crab fingers. Both were delicious, though from a volume perspective I should have shared my wife’s pork belly because it ended up being her whole meal and she could not do more than nibble at her main course. I should note that the buttered crab fingers had some tasty LA heat, not like the garlic based Italian version. I had shrimp and grits as may main and was reeeealy good. So - nice job Luke. We appreciate the expereimce.

    Veggies were under cooked & pompano was dry. Fries tasted pre made maybe from a freezer bag. Burger overcooked & salty.

    The restaurant was cute and consistent with the NOLA atmosphere. The staff and service were great. The shrimp and grits were the best my husband has had and he doesn’t usually like grits The trout was okay but the happy hour wines were great!

    Been here many years ago. Menu has changed and had an incredible meal! Escargot and Bone Marrow! Tried all the different type of raw oysters available. Then had a beat salad with lump crab. Amazing food and our server - Jackson P, was awesome with wine and cocktail selections!

    Luke is one of our favorites in NOLA! The food is always great - with the selection of oysters always above reproach! And the service is second to none! They are always booked full and never make you feel rushed - that's an art! If you're looking for a great place to dine, this is it!
