    One of the best brunch experiences I’ve had was at Luke’s, a tucked-away gem in the Business District. From the moment we walked in, the bright, thoughtfully designed decor set a vibrant, inviting tone — modern yet cozy, with just the right energy for a weekend brunch. I ordered the crawfish omelet, which was absolutely packed with flavor — rich, tender crawfish folded into perfectly fluffy eggs. It came with crisp, golden hot fries and a refreshing side salad that balanced the richness of the meal beautifully. My partner went with the spinach omelet, which was light yet hearty, full of fresh greens and melty cheese. The drinks were just as memorable. We had strong, well-made mimosas and rich, fresh-brewed coffee — the kind that actually wakes you up and pairs perfectly with good food and even better company. Luke’s felt like a hidden brunch oasis right in the middle of the city, blending comfort, quality, and charm in all the right ways. Definitely a spot we’ll return to.

    I attended a wine pairing dinner at A Tavola. It was amazing! The food, the wine, the service, the ambiance and the host were spectacular. We will definitely continue to patronize the restaurant and look forward to future wine pairing events.

    We selected this location for a special Mother's Day Brunch - and we weren't disappointed! Service was stellar & they treated all the moms at the table like royalty. Free champagne for all the moms, excellent omelet station & even the babies (22 mos & 9 mos) enjoyed the food. And side bar - NOPSI is a gorgeous hotel! Definitely planning a return visit!
