    Bustling dinner with attentive service. Sat right away with a reservation. We love the BBQ oyster and bistro like entrees. We make a point to eat at Lukes when in the CBD. A little pricey but good things often are.

    This was my first time in years visiting Luke, and it was even better than I remembered. We had a large party (6), but at noon on a Saturday, we were able to make a reservation through OpenTable for a seating at 12:15PM! We ordered an oyster flight (one of each variety for each diner) and enjoyed trying them all (7 different oysters each). We each had a scallop as well with Vietnamese fish sauce, and it was great. We had the escargot and bone marrow, leaving nothing on the bones-- which we brought home for the dogs! The Croque Madame was perfect, and big enough for two adults. The chicken and waffles were amazing and large enough to feed an adult and supplement the smaller meal of a very hungry child. We had two kids with us (boys, 8 and 9) and the kids' menu had plenty of options for them both. Our server treated us like royalty, taking the time to expertly describe every menu item about which we asked. The courses were delivered at the perfect cadence, never rushed and never too far behind the last. If I have any complaint, it's that the location can be tricky if you're not already parked in the New Orleans CBD. If you're near Poydras and St. Charles anyway (as we were for the Titanic Exhibit), it's definitely worth the walk. I almost regret that we moved to our current home a few hours away, because we really want to try every single item on the menu, making our decisions difficult. Alas, given the impeccable quality and service at Luke, that's a very good problem to have.

    This is fantastic New Orleans cuisine! Honestly my new favorite place. And the interior has been lovingly preserved, so the ambience is also excellent.
