We have had dinner at Luka’s at least 1/2 dozen times since they opened … their food is consistently very good and their service is consistently terrible. The floor manager(who has been working there for some time) either has no clue what she’s doing or doesn’t care … she is happy to socialize with the wait staff while clients go unattended. They have a beautiful restaurant and a huge bar with lots of wine bottles but when you ask about wine .. the response is .. we have red and white? When you dig a little deeper, response is we have Malbec and Cabernet. They socialize with the mgr and both could not care less about dirty dishes, whether you were happy with the food, do you need anything else, etc. However, I should mention that the young lady who was providing entertainment was amazing… very talented… I hope the owners wise up before they lose their restaurant , and we lose another restaurant who’s food is very good but … maybe when the service is so bad they have to automatically add 18% gratuity ??

There was no wine list. Waiter told us the types of wine they carried but neither labels nor prices were told. Dinner came without veggies. Steak and sausages were tasty but the chicken was dry. Waiter did not appear to ask how things were. Far too pricey for what we got.

This is my go to place when I'm in the area. As much as I would like to explore other restaurants, Luka never disappoints. The food is cooked perfectly with so much flavor and their cocktails are on point—all fresh ingredients. Coffee is the best, wish they would expand their dessert menu, but besides that, it's amazing!

From our appetizers to our dinner to cocktails everything was great. We had the columbian empanadas and the guacamole that is like no other. Definitely recommend ordering it. All of us had one of the bowls and everyone enjoyed them. Will be adding this to our list of repeat restaurants.
