My second time here. The first time we sat at the bar and each had a bowl and were offered the most delicious sauces. Both bowl were amazing with the sauces. Took my family back and overall, still good. Our server was very nice but I wish offered the sauces to us. The food wasn’t as good as the first time but I think it’s because we weren’t offered the sauces. I wish I remembered to ask for them. Overall, everything was good and I would definitely go back again. Only complaint is the music was extremely loud and we couldn’t hear each other. I love music at a restaurant, but not too loud where you can’t have a discussion.

The air conditioning was set much too low. My guess is that the temperature in the room was 68 or lower. I asked to have the air conditioning adjusted and it never was. This led to a very unpleasant dining experience. Also I never received my receipt after paying by credit card.

Luka is fun and inviting but unfortunately the food quality is not consistent. It's a hit or miss. This time we had a so so experience. We ordered the Colombian empanadas which tasted nothing like it, the parrilla (meats and sausages were all very dry) , the picana which was cooked good and tasty and the guacamole (so far this is the only consistent tasty item).

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 ??
