    Luke is a great Brasserie, it’s a wonderful find in New Haven. Unique twist on the seared tuna, definitely recommend and the branzino too, delicious and delicate.

    I have been to The Luke a number of times. It is consistently amazing. The detail and depth of flavors is executed impeccably throughout each course. The restaurant is stunning and the service is top notch. The tuna, scallops, asparagus, branzino and steak are phenomenal! I highly recommend The Luke over and over again!

    The Luke Brasserie is a very welcome addition to the New Haven fine dining scene. The restaurant is located next to the Schubert in a historic 2 story gorgeous building. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. The staff were all top notch from start to finish. The dishes were all outstanding with the freshest ingredients available, the presentation was worthy of applause to the chef. The flavors of every dish were of the highest quality that were like heaven to the taste buds. Complimentary white asparagus, sorbet with shredded melon and French cookies completed what was an extraordinary experience. The Luke is an absolute must and should not be missed.

    This was our first experience, we will be back. Food is good value for money. Small but generous plates made for sharing. Wish their wine selection had more options but overall a great restaurant and experience.
