We really had a great meal last night with friends. Service was good too. Our waiter was very attentive. Had wine which they had a great selection. Seafood dishes were really good.

Kid-friendliness: My one year old was running around and everyone was very pleasant.
We stopped in for dinner, our first time. Hostess and manager were very nice. Food was barely ok - rate the food a 2 out of 5. . Place was a bit dirty. Waitress was rude. We ordered two $18 glasses of wine; we were in shock as to how small the pour was. When we got our bill, there was a 3% non-cash adjustment fee added on - as another reviewer said, "very scummy" move by the restaurant, to add on this fee without telling you when they hand you the menu.

Husband and I went out for dinner. We were greeted by an amazon hostess named Chloe who helped us to our table and made our dining experience so much better! The waiters were all friendly and the food was delicious! Will definitely come back!!

Went recently for the first time, 4 of us met for dinner. We were all very disappointed. Trying to find something good to say, can't think of anything notable really. A few highlights. The Caesar salad was ridiculously tiny - $11 for a small saucer-size plate. The wine glass was like something out of a kids' play set - the pour was terrible, maybe 4oz., and $16 (for the tiny pour) for a wine that I know retails for less than $35/bottle. The mussels were sour-tasting, if that makes any sense. This was really gross - the salt and pepper shakers were covered in grease, I had to get up from the table to wash my hands after touching them. The hostess and floor manager were polite and professional; our waitress was just plain nasty. The icing on the cake (and why we will definitely never go back) was the sneaky 3% fee they added on to the bill at the end, as a "non-cash adjustment"; no signs anywhere in the restaurant, or on the menu, that they would tack on this "non-cash adjustment" fee - very scummy.

I will definitely go back, but the dinner wasn't flawless. We both ordered rib-eyes, but I think we got the cowboy rib-eye, which is not the same. Both are listed on the menu. We were expecting a boneless 16oz steak, but got a bone-on steak, which was not small but cut a little thinly. Their seasoning is a little on the salty side for my taste, especially since the steak was 3/8" thick - i.e. more seasoning on each bite as compared to a thicker steak. I got the Barolo reduction sauce which was much sweeter than I expected. I was expecting a nice red wine pan sauce which is much more appropriate. (I am one who thinks A-1 Steak sauce is awful. A good steak like these really need no sauce.) My Girlfriend got the Bearnaise which was great. The brussels sprouts were great. The Onion ring garnish were frozen style manufactured rings, not actual rings of deep fried onion. My Girlfriend also got a lobster tail, which was cooked to perfection - Which I consider a great mark. Lobster is so frequently over cooked, I personally never order it. Everything is served scorching hot, so be warned. You might want to wait a minute before putting a bits in your mouth. The other entrees looked really good, but we were in the mood for steaks. Also - the bartenders were great, as were the cocktails. I would still recommend Lukas's.

I used to go to Lukas a lot when it first opened. The ambiance is great, they have a great outdoor bar area that they built when COVID hit. Their food is good although I wish they switched up their food each season bc the menu is the same as the day it opened. It's a great place however the wait staff has gotten worse. Our waitress came and took our order and never came back to check on us and we wanted refills on drinks. It took a while to get our check too. It wasn't a busy night bc I would understand more if it was but the waitress was too busy texting on her phone off to the side when she should've been paying more attention to her tables.

Ordered the porterhouse steak (MR) with a side of onion rings. The steak was cooked well done and tasted rough and oily/buttery since it’s served on a plate sitting in a puddle of unsalted butter. The onion rings are obviously frozen and look like they’re from the grocery store they had no taste at all. I would have brought up the steak being way overcooked to our waitress but she never actually came around to ask how the food was. Don’t waste your money.
On Valentine’s Day menu there was no vegetarian entree. The waiter came back and said they could make a vegetarian pasta dish. Unfortunately the dish they prepared was almost flavorless, supposedly with a garlic and red wine sauce - which had the consistency of a broth instead of a sauce. They were clearly unprepared to make anything off menu (my partner’s crusted horseradish Salmon from the menu was excellent). I requested marinara sauce on the side (for flavor) and managed to convert the dish to something good.All that said, the ambiance was excellent, and the wine was, too, and we had a good date! We will be back. My request is to always plan menus with at least one vegan or vegetarian entree.

Drinks are decent but horrible ambiance, bad lighting and half the staff watching the soccer match that no one knows instead of the Knick game. A lot of potential for this local spot but needs a lot of work. Don't come dressed up because you'll feel out of place.

Perfect atmosphere for our business lunch discussions, capped with a delicious Horseradish Salmon and a guilt inducing bread pudding dessert. Second time here and second great experience.

Recently went for a special occasion as I thought it looked nice on line. Food was small and bland. Soup was like water. They took my reservations but sat us in the bar area on a high top. Would not recommend or go back. Don’t be mislead by the pictures, I was.

Portions are small but food was delicious. Service was good through appetizers and drinks but we waited awhile for our dinner. Lobster ravioli and octopus appetizer delicious! Chocolate lava cake disappointing because chocolate didn’t ooze out—tasted more like a fudge brownie.
