    We went for Christmas Dinner in the afternoon, the restaurant was full,. We had reservations and had to wait about 10 minutes for the table. The staff was great and responded to our needs quite well given that it was Christmas, The drinks were great especially the “Attitude Adjustment”. The food was outstanding. I ordered specked trout which came in a shrimp sauce. My wife ordered their steak frites which she loved. Our friend had the Oxtail dish which was also excellent. We will visit this restaurant again!

    Had the Reveillon dinner on Christmas day, and loved every bite! I was also very impressed with the service-- they handled a busy crowd amazingly well. Kudos! Definitely will be back next time I am in NOLA.

    Meh. We were very excited. Waiter forgot to put in our drinks and my wife never got her condiments. All in all it was a let down.

    We (7 of us) ate at Luke on Christmas Day. We were seated near the door which wasn’t ideal but wasn’t bad. The streetcar periodically going by made the noise level high because of our proximity to the door. The service was excellent in spite of it being a holiday and the restaurant being packed. The menu had nice variety. The two best items we had were the Crispy Brussel Sprouts and the Matzo Ball Soup. The worst thing we had was the Hanger Steak. It was ordered “medium” and came out bleeding. It was also rubbery. We returned it and that person ordered something else. They were completely okay with this and removed it from the bill. The Trout Almandine was good with the fish being extremely fresh. We recommend Luke and will return.

    Un restaurant servant une cuisine de bonne qualité juste hors du quartier français de la Nouvelle Orléans. Dîner du réveillon de Noël. Une table calme et une serveuse aux petits soins. Rien à dire : un bon repas.

    As it was a holiday, I’m not sure our experience is a good representation of their regular operations. However, we had incredibly slow service. We had two servers who were doing their absolute best but had over 10 tables to take care of on top of rolling silverware and stocking appetizer plates. There were only two bartenders so cocktails took 15 minutes to receive. My broccolini was wildly over-seasoned and our steak frites were disappointing. Great meat but the fries were so basic and cold for a dish that costs $38. Overall it was okay but I really expected more from what I’d read prior to booking this spot for Christmas Eve.
