    Too loud. Changed menu and lost chef??? It was very different to the Luke I ate at many many years ago. So disappointed. Won’t go back. So noisy too. Not fine dining.

    My colleague and I tried Luke after eating at its sister restaurant Domenica the night before, which had been spectacular. Our server there had told us many people visiting New Orleans end up eating at most of their restaurants, so I had high hopes for Luke. However the food that we ordered was not as delicious or memorable. We shared the bbq gulf oysters (which was the only good part of the meal), and the alsacienne tart (basically a flatbread pizza, except the bacon was hard and dry). We also each ordered the trout almandine, which was overcooked and dry, while the carrots were a tad undercooked. In addition, the service was rather lackluster. The couple at the table next to us even commented on how the service was not great and how they had different servers. Although I would not return here, I would definitely go to Domenica and try the other John Besh restaurants next time I return to New Orleans.
