FISH & Chips, Cheeseburger
Josie R.

This is a nice date night spot! I enjoyed a burger that was juicy and flavorful. The fries were crispy and paired well with their Comeback sauce. My partner liked the fish & chips. The interior is modern and the service was great.

My wife and I have visited Luke's a number of times over the years and have enjoyed our time due to the food, service, and the atmosphere. We met a friend for lunch recently and chose the "Lunchbox", that comes with small-sized soup, salad, chips, and a choice of chicken tacos, yellowfin tuna on toast, or Chef's choice vegetables. (Think Bento box). What a pleasant surprise! But wait! There's more! Coffee or tea and gelato or ice cream, are also included. Definitely a fun lunch deal! My wife raved about the flavor of the chicken in her tacos. The soup and salad packed flavor for their size. My yellowfin tuna was okay. The mango gelato? Fresh, and the perfect way to end the meal. Dylan, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable. Prices continue to rise, but the quality continues. Happy Hour is Monday through Friday, 3 pm to 6 pm, and the menu has a nice selection of snacks and flatbreads, cocktails, wine, and beer.

I have been to Luke's many times but tonight's dinner was one of the best. The crab cakes are seriously the best I've ever had and I'm a Florida native. All meat, no filler with a citrus beurre blanc I could drink. My friend had the NY strip and she raved about it too. We sat at the bar and our service was outstanding as usual. The restaurant is beautiful. And they do an email campaign promo too. Thank you, Luke's, for closing out my birthday month on a high note.

This restaurant was absolutely stunning! Very good for date night or even a quick hangout with a friend! I didn't get a chance to experience the sit down because they didn't have a table ready for me and my friend, so we sat at the bar which I didn't mind! The service was actually really good because of the gentleman that was helping us. Once the switch shifts the service wasn't as on point but it was still good. The food was amazing aside from the sautéed coconut shrimp that we had it wasn't that good but they were very accommodating and end up switching out the meal for wings which omg best choice ever! It was such a nice vibe! The bar tender also made me a drink which was actually very good. Me and my Bestfriend had a wonderful time . I will definitely be back with my boyfriend for sure because it was so such a nice experience

Ahi tuna hors d'oeuvre that was complimentary since I was eating next to the show kitchen.
Arun K.

It's been a long time since I have eaten there, so I had to visit again when I received a promotion for twenty dollars off. I made a reservation for a Saturday evening on Resy in advance. Since valet parking is free, I took advantage of it and headed straight to check in. I was greeted immediately and sent to the table where I could watch the open kitchen. I was told most of the drinks were strong, so I tried the mezcal drink (14 dollars). I forgot the name, but it was smoky, herbal, and lightly boozy. It was such a nice sipping drink. I was very happy that my server was very honest in mentioning the salmon was farmed raised, so I decided to go with the airline chicken instead (26 dollars). Before I was given my chicken, the chef near my table gave me a complimentary hors D'oeuvre. It looked to be a small wonton bowls filled with ahi tuna with some guac topping I think. Whatever it was, I was in heaven. It was fresh and flavorful, making my taste buds happy. When the chicken arrived, it came mostly deboned. It was tender enough, but could have been a little more juicy. It could been a bit more seasoned as well since I tasted mostly chicken without any other flavors. The vegetables, however, were far better as the potatoes were roasted and seasoned perfectly. I thought there would be mostly grilled vegetables, but the potatoes overtook them. The other vegetables were still amazing. I wish there was more of the green salsa, but it was thin. It did, however, added the kick and flavor to the chicken. It was still a very enjoyable entree. For dessert, they handed a separate menu, and I had to do the creme brulee (11 dollars). It was quite generous, but still light enough to finish. The crust was crispy without being too powerful, and the vanilla specks just made the flavor perfect. The service was excellent and professional. When it was time to pay, I showed the email to my server, who got the manager to verify. The manager immediately checked and gave me the twenty dollars off, making the total price before tips about 33 dollars after tax. It was a great deal. Both the manager and server checked up with me on the dinner and were very friendly. The atmosphere is upscale, but t-shirt and jeans are still welcome here. I love the open kitchen, and you are welcome to talk to the chefs. I am so happy I visited Luke's again after a long time. I loved their sister restaurant, Lumas, and was sad they closed a while back ago. While Luke's can be a bit pricey, they still have some items at reasonable prices (like the chicken, burgers, and sandwiches). Plus, if you sign up for their email, you can get promotions as well. And their cocktails are one of the best in Orlando. Definitely still a great restaurant in the Maitland area. Overall: A

KINGSTON NEGRONI  jamalcan rum, dark rum, Italian bitter liqueur, sweet vermouth
Jordain J.

Just came here for the first time because I was just looking for a restaurants in the area because I was starving. So I decided to just stop here grab a drink, grab some food and head to a friends's home. So I ordered the wings and I decided to get them extra crispy. I sat there and had a drink at the bar myself, and that was delicious. The wings were even better, the wings were so good that we finished them in a matter of moments and I made an order for two. I wanna say a few hours later, we ended up coming back to have the wings again because they were so good. They were still juicy, crispy, full of flavor and everything you would want in crispy wings/dry rub. I would definitely come back here because the ambience definitely gives date night, hang out with friends, great drinks, and a great overall ambience. Job well done by this restaurant.

FISH & Chips Sandwich

Very good fish and chips sandwich and very fancy interior with amazing service. I will definitely be coming back

Main bar dining area

Luke's kitchen, came highly recommended by some of my team members, so me and the wife set out to give em a go! We arrived as they were opening with a few guests walking in right before us, clean modern building outside and in, open kitchen layout, waited to be seated by the hostess, greeted warmly and seated in the bar area, approached by our server Issac, very nice professional young man greeting us gathering a drink order and briefly going over the menu and specials, returning in 3 mins drinks down taking the order, started with the butternut squash soup and a Fig goat cheese ham flatbread, soup arriving in 5 mins, beautiful presentation but fell alittle flat on the flavor, flatbread arriving 5 mins thereafter, Issac then took are mains a checkup and was off, flatbread was fantastic, the perfect amount of sweet without being overbearing blending with the cheese and ham, very nice but this could have been our main course! Speaking of mains they arrived 10 mins following the FB, very nice presentation on both dishes! Burger cooked perfectly but the star of the day was the Snapper! What a wonderful dish! Seared perfectly, tender and flaky! Highly recommend this dish! To finish up their version of the Key lime pie, mango sauce sun-dried lime crumbles over the top Wow!! This was a great experience from the food, service to the cleanliness of the building, if you're in the area check out Luke's! Awesome... I've spoken.

Lunchbox - Shrimp skewer, roasted mushroom soup, salad, and crispy potato cake
Brittani J.

I went to Luke's for lunch and really enjoyed the ambience. I ordered the Lunch Box which comes with a soup, salad, side, entree, beverage and an ice cream bite. The soup was salty, I chose the grilled shrimp skewer which came with 5 nice-sized shrimp. However, the shrimp had a "fishy" taste. The salad was okay. I really enjoyed the side, which was a crispy potato cake. The ice cream bite was also very good! Their menu is seasonal so the offerings change. The server was nice, but didn't ask about the drink so I had to follow up on that. My friend had the fish sandwich, which she described it as fresh but the batter wasn't that flavorful. The fries were delicious! Overall, I would give this restaurant another try, I would just order something else.

Sydney L.

The service was really top-notch. Food was delicious. We got the flatbread for appetizer. It was perfect. Drinks were delicious as well. We'll definitely be going again for a nice date night dinner.

Toffee, bourbon cake (magical dining)
Rob L.

I had only been here once before, and I wasn't blown away at first. I decided to try it again when a friend was in town and it was much better. The atmosphere is very nice, whether you are outside, in the main dining room, or in the bar area. Our server was very friendly and gave good food recommendations. This time I started with their house old fashioned, and it was very tasty, it had a little peach in it, but it wasn't overly sweet. My wife got the kiwi and it was just ok. My friend and I did the magical dining. I had the salad and it exceeded my expectations. I upgraded to the steak frites for my main and I would do it again, and I finished with some type of toffee, bourbon cake, which was almost like a bread pudding. Our friend got the smoked fish dip and really enjoyed it. She liked her salmon and even I enjoyed a bite of her key lime pie, it wasn't too tart. My wife was very happy with her snapper dish. I'm glad I gave Luke's another shot, it was a great experience this time around.

Filet Mignon w/ Mashed Potatoes
Elijah A.

I've always loved this spot - the food has never been a let down. They always have a seasonal menu that is fresh and full of new options. The service and staff are always attentive and responsive, it is perfect for dates with the lighting. I think my only gripe is that the restaurant doesn't have an identity where the aesthetic feels high end, so does the food. But the location doesn't necessarily reflect that. But that will change as the area develops more.

Bar Area
Christian G.

My friend and I were in the area and looking for a late afternoon bite and drinks and stumbled upon Luke's. I've always wanted to stop by and so glad I finally did. We sat at the bar, which is a massive horseshoe shape, easily accommodating 20+ customers. While there was no happy hour as we went on a Saturday, we each ordered a drink, a starter and an entree. The flavors of everything I had we truly impeccable (the sauce used in the Crab & Avocado starter is to die for). I will say when the starter came out, I didn't think the portion size felt filling/ like enough food but I can honestly say that the flavor was worth the price and portion. The feeling inside is calming opulence, with music playing in the background that was both jazzy and poppy. I'm already looking at the menu to see what to order next!
