    My first time at Luke, and the overall experience was great. It was Saints game day, so the restaurant was understandably busy, and our food took a little longer than expected to come out. However, once it arrived, it was absolutely amazing. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back.

    First visit to Luke. Great atmosphere. Staff was terrific. Smoked trout dip appetizer was great but the bacon fat toasted saltines were insanely delicious. The shrimp and grits is a must order as well. Good wine selection. Definitely will be back.

    Our experience was great, the food service was excellent. Fair information to potential diners, it is extremely noisy. The choice for noise level in the Open Table app is energetic, that is not a fair term it is just loud. I would for sure come back as the food was exactly what I hoped.
