Amazing food and atmosphere! It was my wife and I’s first time here and we will surely be back soon. All the dishes were fantastic. We even got complimentary champagne when we arrived. Chef Vincent made the experience unforgettable as well. Just a fantastic evening. Make a reservation here ASAP, you won’t be disappointed!

Dining at The Luke was my ultimate dinner experience ever. The food, the service and the setting were impeccable. What distinguished this restaurant was not only the superb food, but the unique attention perfectly conveyed to each table. Chef Vincent participated in the service as well as creation. Our server was delightful and attentive. The setting is historic, and despite its architectural grandeur, felt intimate. The food was divine: every dish delighted. I will mention the crudo, polenta and veal, not to mention the blood orange Negroni.
Each dish was distinctive.
I rarely eat in restaurants in that I so enjoy cooking. The Luke is inspiring, and my recollection of its magnificence will summon me to return.

The Luke is our favorite place to celebrate our special occasions. This service-first restaurant makes every guest feel special. The Chef takes time to connect with each table and is always willing to answer any questions you have about the menu. The tuna is our absolute favorite dish to share to start. We enjoy the shared menu concept as it creates a unique dining experience- experiencing the meal together and talking about our favorite parts is one of the reasons we love it here. It’s so different than standard dining where you just order your own thing.

Polenta
The Luke is a phenomenal restaurant in a truly stunning space in downtown New Haven. The dishes are made to share and are very generous and Chef Vincent’s hospitality and attention to guests extends the generosity even further. The highlight for me was the creamy polenta with truffles—so indulgent and delectably fragrant with freshly shaved truffles on top by the chef at the table. I also loved the yellowfin tuna with scallions, chive, white soy and brown butter (again finished by the chef at the table) and it was a momentous occasion: my mother who never eats raw or rare fish and usually cringes at the thought tried it - and liked it! Besides the food the service is really superb —friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. And the atmosphere and space is monumental! I love the antique architectural details and mosaic tiles floor. This is an excellent choice for a special occasion, birthday, sexy date night, or anytime you just want to splurge on a dazzling fine dining experience.

A beautiful spot not just for dinner, but also for the best dinner party of our lives: our wedding! Vince and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our day went smoothly and stress-free. The servers were incredible and attentive, all of the food came out perfectly on time, and the quality of the food and wine was better than we could have imagined. Highly recommend for your next event, or just a night out!

The Luke is OUTSTANDING! I’ve been several times and the food is, by far, the best! Chef Vincent is extremely talented and the staff is fabulous. Iris was our server last night and as usual she was amazing. Every single item on the menu is absolutely delicious. If you are in the New Haven area you have to check it out.

My husband reserved a table for us for our first year anniversary. This was by far the BEST restaurant I have been to. The service from start to finish was outstanding! The free Prosecco while you wait to be seated was a great surprise and sets the mood for the amazing night you’re about to have. We loved everything about this place. So much so that we didn’t want to leave. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to all of our friends and family. If your looking for a great place, a reason to dress up and enjoy New Haven at night, or simply to go to a bar with an amazing atmosphere and great food, look no further and go to The Luke Brasserie. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

Tuna
An excellent dinning experience! The service was phenomenal from the entire staff right from walking in the door. We started with white asparagus and it was creamy & delicious. We then had roasted clams which was seasoned well. The NY aged steak was cooked good but the piece of meat was a bit tough. The sides with the steak being the potatoes & parsnips were good. Overall, due to us being at some of the best steak houses in ct this as an entree didn’t hit the mark for the cost of it alone being $80.00. But the dessert served free of charge was a nice touch and was so so good it was ice cream served with shaved strawberries & white chocolate. We would recommend to anyone for the dinning experience this provided. And to top it off they validate parking!

We arrived in New Haven for my college reunion and made a point of going to Luke Brasserie for dinner on the recommendation of a good friend. Our experience was extraordinary! Everything we ate was fresh, hand crafted and beautifully prepared. Highlights of our dinner included a beet salad, a white asparagus appetizer, seared tuna, and the veal chop. Everything is designed for sharing… Perfect for a date! The candlelight, music, and the dark, chocolate covered almonds were just perfect. We would also give 5 stars to the waitstaff; they were very attentive! We’ll be back!
