I went to eat with my wife to celebrate our expansion of our business and anniversary. The food was very lovely and there was no wait. Marissa was very attentive and amazing. we got given wine from the floor manager, but then we were told that there was no floor manager; so it seemed like there was some power seeking workers. Other than that confusion everything was amazing. The bartender perfected our drinks and the chef coursed our dinner out exceptionally. Will be returning, hopefully not to be bombarded by the non existent floor manager.

I used to go to Chef Vincent's restaurant in Manhattan. Which was two hours and a half from my house in Pennsylvania. After Covid, I found out he was in New Haven Connecticut. I went there last year on my anniversary with my wife and two friends. The food was amazing. The service was amazing and Chef Vincent was amazing. Five stars across the board. Last Saturday night my wife and myself went back. Everything we had was excellent along with the service and the ambience. Chef Vincent is ahead of his time, I will be going back September 5 for my wife's and mine 46th anniversary. I can't wait. Every time we go to Block Island we stop in. I don't know which I look forward to more block Island or The Luke. they're both winners. Pennsylvania, Ed and Kim.

New Haven's most inventive menu by far. Incredibly rich, dreamy dishes, great for sharing. The tables are nicely spaced, unlike a NYC restaurant of this caliber. Love this place.

Innovative, considerate, and damn delicious! Marissa and Julia were attentive, friendly, and absolutely enhanced our experience. Alex (one of the chefs) had some one-of-a-kind flavors to share that made the evening one to remember. Can’t recommend enough!

JENNETTE was absolutely delightful. I do this for a living, and seek out top notch service experiences on my days off.
Especially when i have the pleasure of seeing a show - i love to indulge in a fantastic cocktail or glass of wine accompanied by some special and delicious bites. This place, the service, catered recommendations- all felt so custom. Go if you can.
Try the blackberry mint julep. If you like bourbon and the Kentucky Derby, you’ll love this drink!

I can't even remember my first experience here because whatever it was, I just...kept. Coming. Back. The food: top tier -- flavorful, thoughtful, creative, surprising. The service: an art that The Luke staff and chef have mastered and could teach a masterclass -- warm, informed, personable in a way that makes you feel like family. The atmosphere: unmatched. The vibe is always stylish, grounded, certain of itself in ways that it absolutely should be. Truly an experience every single time.

everything was absolutely amazing. Starting from our entrance, the chef seats the guests, which was an original experience, for us at least. Our server Abigail was absolutely amazing, drinks were great, And you absolutely have to try the yellow tuna it blew us away.

My partner and I had our first date at this restaurant, and have been coming back ever since! It really is one of the best restaurants we have ever been to, and this is taking into account dining experiences in other countries, including the UK and Asia. I firmly believe that if it weren’t for the fact that the Michelin Guide hasn’t reached New Haven, this restaurant would definitely have at least a star. I truly love this place, and would recommend anyone visiting/living nearby to come try! You will not be disappointed.
On specifics, the atmosphere and service is wonderful. You feel very relaxed and taken-care of, and Chef Vincent and his staff are all very kind. The food is superb, and I personally always love the White Asparagus.
15/10 restaurant, will travel back to New Haven just to eat here!

From the moment you walk in, you’re transported to what feels like a high-end New York City restaurant. The atmosphere is sophisticated, elegant, and unlike anything else you’ll find in Connecticut. Every detail of the space is stunning, making it the perfect destination not only for an exceptional dinner but also for hosting private events and celebrations.
What truly sets this restaurant apart is its creativity and uniqueness. The menu features dishes you simply won’t find anywhere else in the state. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and delivers an experience that goes far beyond a typical meal.
The staff is equally impressive—professional, attentive, and clearly very well trained. They provide a level of service that is rare to find and make every guest feel valued from start to finish.
Connecticut has many great restaurants, but this one is in a league of its own. If you’re looking for a true NYC-caliber dining experience without leaving the state, this is the place.
