There’s a wide variety of Gulf oysters from which to choose. The seafood gumbo is my favorite in the city, really rich & full of protein. I had the Speckled Trout Amandine, which I had not tried before, & it was quite good. In short, it’s always a great meal at Luke, & I’ll keep coming back until they give me a reason not to.

I had Shrimp and Grits, hubby ordered herb roasted chicken and we shared the roasted Brussels sprouts. Food was really good. But never brought bread to the table and felt we were being rushed out the entire meal. At one point the server started clearing away my plate and I had to ask her to leave my fork at least since I was still working on the sprouts. Then when she was refilling the water she sloshed it all over the table. The bill was brought out as a print out receipt only…no billfold. These smaller touches are what ruin an elevated dining experience.
