    We came here one night for a nice dinner. We got a nice dinner. The ambiance is picture perfect, like a movie scene. Dim lighting, dark wooden tables, just really comfortable. The food was also great. We started off with the Sourdough Flatbread (mushroom, ham, fig, goat cheese), and honestly, this might have been the best flatbread I've ever had in my life. It was a great size, has a hearty crust for good handling, and the toppings are just magnificent in quantity And quality. Just wow. Delicious. For my main, I had the Crab Cakes (citrus beurre blanc, tomato-smoked pepper jam, fries). Again, dynamite dish. Lots of crab in those cakes, a creamy, acidic sauce as a nice foil to the crab, and then a nice little pop of that smoked pepper jam to really make the dish interesting with every bite. So good. I also got to try a nightly special they had, a Lamb Tenderloin. Perfectly medium rare, a nice rice side, just done really well. We finished off with probably the best part of the night, the Skillet Brownie (salted caramel, vanilla soft serve). Insane. Ooey and gooey, warm and chocolatey, with a hint of salty caramel. With that dollop of vanilla ice cream just melting away on top, it was the perfect dessert. What really set back this visit was the service. Our server was just awful, I'm sorry. I'm not saying she was an awful person. She was a lovely person, but restaurant service is probably just not the job for her. I won't go any farther. Overall, the ambiance and the food here are exceptional. I would definitely come back here again.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Crab Cakes
    Zack W.

    I will preface I went in quite doubtful-- Luke's seemed like the kind of place a bit too pricey for what it's worth-- but I was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was upscale but comfy. We sat at the chef's counter and saw all the prep work which was fun too. The free chips-and-dips was super tasty, as were the Cubano sliders we got as an app. The crab cakes were some of the best I've had outside of Maryland, super fresh and delicious. Overall, would highly recommend and will be coming back for another date night.

    Cheeseburger
    Inza F.

    Had a great experience at Luke's Kitchen & Bar! Our server Jack was incredible -- warm, attentive, and super knowledgeable. She really set the tone for a smooth night. Honey BBQ Wings These wings came out looking and tasting like a win. Lightly crisp skin, juicy inside, and a honey BBQ sauce with actual flavor layers sweet, smoky, and just sticky enough. The ranch + green onions added the perfect balance. Cheeseburger & Fries A classic done the right way. Juicy patty, cheese melted into the burger, and a bun that held everything together. The fries were thin, crispy and delish. Brownie + Soft Serve If you love dessert, don't skip this. Warm fudgy brownie, creamy soft-serve, and cookie crumble for texture. Simple but so satisfying. Great service, great flavors, and consistent execution. I'd definitely come back especially if Jack is working!

    Cheers!

    A friend and I stopped in on a Friday afternoon for happy hour to celebrate a birthday. We were pleasantly surprised happy hour included Friday while alot of other establishments do not. We got a good seat at the end of the bar. We started with drinks. I got Flight of the Kiwi cocktail. It was good, different, and refreshing. My friend got a skinny marg. We decided to order several of the snacks and share. -chips and dip: this was yummy and a good bar order! The bacon was prominent which I enjoyed. The kettle chips were nice and crispy. -cubano sliders: the pork was scrumptious. There was 3 sliders for the order. I think this dish is worth the price. -fries: hot and crispy. Can't go wrong with a salty snack to pair with a cold cocktail. -mushroom, ham, fig, goat cheese flatbread: plenty for 2 people to share. We love fig in our charcuterie boards so this was practically the best version of a charcuterie board on a flatbread. Service was decent. I suggest getting here right when the restaurant opens if you wish to get a seat at the bar. It seemed to fill up fast. The inside of the restaurant was pretty and clean. It had good natural lighting. I think its a good spot to keep in anyone's happy hour rotation.

    Rigatoni
    Madison L.

    We came in for dinner and had another fantastic experience! Service is always excellent. The restaurant is beautiful. To drink, I always get the White Linen. It's so pretty and refreshing. For an appetizer, we got the tomato basil flatbread. It was simple and so flavorful. Their flatbreads are our favorite items to share with the table. For my entree, I got the rigatoni which came in a creamy sauce with fennel sausage and broccolini. We were very impressed with the rigatoni. It was rich, savoy, and salty. Every element was cooked to perfection. It was perfect. We love Luke's!

    PB&J Spare Ribs
    Alessandro G.

    Bustling New American dining in Orlando's Maitland area. On the eve of my last licensing exams, we chose Luke's to drop studying, wind down and just enjoy a good meal. We chose right. Service was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. The food was incredible, each plate was a star. We started off with the PB&J spare ribs, because well, we had to try this combination and we were pleasantly surprised. We also ordered the Flat Iron Steak, the Rock Shrimp and the Roasted Parsnips. Steak was cooked perfectly and beautifully tender. The Rock Shrimp was a flavor bomb and the Roasted Parsnips were phenomenal. I tried (with some success) recreating this dish at home later that week we loved it so much.

    Perfect place for Happy Hour!
