Pretty good food, however we were sat next to a door and it was very hot

Top notch loved the crab cake dinner.

In the past, I've enjoyed Luke's immensely. I used to brag that their burger was my favorite in Orlando. Unfortunately, I recently took my girlfriend and both of our burgers were vastly underdone despite being ordered medium well and the oysters were just sad. At the end of the night I went home disappointed that I wasted $100 on a meal I didn't even like.

Made reservations and were seated at the bar. Very nice place. Server was nice. The happy hour cocktails were good. For me, the food is nothing significant and a little pricey for what you get. The flat bread and fries were the best thing we ate all night. Spent little over $100 for a couple apps, flat bread and some oysters (half off).

Reviewing 2 visits: BRUNCH Visit 2 was bliss (see photos). One of the best meals I have eaten in years. The Wild Mushroom Tart ($17) was excellent, most especially the cream gravy on top. The Tart crust was both light and flaky in parts and thick and slightly doughy in other areas which was a feat in baking and was delughtful. The mushrooms were perfection. Only one piece of constructive feedback-the poached egg on top needed to be more congealed (cooked longer) The pear salad accompaniment was sheer genius. Every flavor worked together in perfect harmony. The Red Snapper Ceviche Snack starter ($16) was a delight. The melange of flavors melded well with the tender and succulent fish and was lovely. A Mimosa ($5) pairs well during Sunday Brunch. LUNCH Visit 1 was good but lacking in the entrée. Channen was an excellent server. The French fries were perfectly done and plentiful. The Mahi sandwich ($25.50) was overbreaded and lacked enough actual fish portion for bun & breading as well as lacking interest in flavor. Our Brunch Visit assured we will return soon.

My husband and I held our rehearsal dinner here a few weeks ago and it was beautiful! We worked with the event planner, Caitlin. She was so attentive and made sure it was everything we wanted and more. The food and service were wonderful. We had the most amazing night! This is a great spot!
I Love the ambience. The staff here is wonderful, and the food is amazing. Bryan our waiter was kind and attentive. Forrest and the rest of the chefs in the kitchen cook some delicious food! We will definitely be coming back here.

After my experience here my guests and myself were all disappointed that we had never been to this restaurant before.
I came on a moderately busy Tuesday night. Asked for a booth on my reservation and we were given a nice quiet booth near the bar which was perfect.
My guests ordered the Deviled Eggs as an appetizer which they thoroughly enjoyed and was modified without jalapeno and arrived promptly. I'm not a deviled egg person but I regret not trying one as they came perfectly plated. I ordered the Blackened Fish Collar and the Roasted Oysters. They took a few minutes but again arrived perfect and the staggered timing allowed for a more proper coursing of the appetizers in true tapas style. Fish collar was delicious and earthy with the scallions and salsa verde and the whole table was impressed. The roasted oysters were also really good. I did not care for the crunchy corn nut garnish but the composition of the dish was still spot on.
The entrees also took a few extra minutes to arrive but they were cooked to order and they came out perfect. One of my guests ordered the Swordfish Schnitzel, the other Red Snapper, and I ordered the Artic Char. The swordfish was perfectly fried and the green tomato tartare was delicious. The red snapper was also amazing served with farro which my guest had never eaten but thoroughly enjoyed.
The artic char served with an amazing honey mustard sauce and red potatoes and topped with a delicious frisee was one of the most outstanding and well composed dishes I have ever ordered in my entire life. I'm so impressed with that dish it's the reason I wrote this lengthy review. It is also going to be the reason why I don't think I can ever go to Maitland again without stopping in to explore more of their menu.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is outstanding. The layout is perfect. Staff is warm, attentive, and inviting. The time between dishes and courses could be seen as a negative but the restaurant was moderately busy and the food over delivered on high expectations we had going into the experience. Luke's Kitchen & Bar is a destination.
For dessert we finished with the Banana Upside-down cake which had nice fusion of caramel flavor and along with a glass of Grenache was a perfect ending to a perfect meal.
Good service by Vanessa.

We had a reservation for 6 on the patio for dinner- 6pm. They redid the patio area , very nice environment out there! After we got our first round of drinks, our waitress mentioned we had to be out by 8pm due to another reservation coming in. If that was the case, tell us when making the reservation! We would have probably adjusted our reservation so we weren’t rushed on a Saturday night. Food was great, the only thing that was not the best was the steak tartare. I’d come back and give it another try…
