“ On a whim, I decided to take my wife on a date night and decided to try somewhere new. The Luke was an absolute hit. The food is top notch, service is absolutely and beyond, value is very high and Chef Vincent came to talk to us maybe a half dozen times...on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back. ”

“ Had a really amazing dinner here last night. Food was outstanding and the service top notch. The building is also very beautiful. We were a group of five and ordered three dishes from the fresh portion of the menu and three dishes from the decadent portion of the menu which amounted to about 55 a person, including tip. Pleasantly full but not stuffed. Each dish comes on a single platter and is served family style. Really beautifully plated. This experience ranks with Michelin starred restaurants we have dined at in the past. ”

“ I had the best dining experience I ever had at a restaurant. We came to celebrate Valentines Day and they greeted us with a glass of champagne while we waited for our table. They also gave us a pair of bracelets in light celebration. Iris was our server she was amazing, she recommended we get the tuna dish and it was delicious! Im still thinking about it. I would recommend this place to anyone I know. You truly cant find this service and dining experience anywhere ”

“ Very highquality cooking with inspirations from italy, france, and japan happier with this in terms of satisfying plates AND attention to details in individual components than a number of michelinstarred restaurants. The dishes arent extremely innovative, but I appreciate this kind of excellent cooking with just enough personality. Service is very kind, a little slow to start but no problems afterwards, and nice attention to replacing silverware, cleaning table, etc. Complimentary spumante is a nice gesture during the table setup! Only a few notes the tasting menu basically offered the same dishes as the a la carte, which I didnt mind as it was our first time, but would probably just order a la carte in the future. The wine pairing, though, is fantastic value 50 extra for six or seven really generous glasses of wine throughout, ranging from a Fingerlakes chardonnay riesling to a beautifully aromatic vermentino from Tuscany and classic bordeaux fromage France. Others have written about the food, and you can find the menu details. My only minor complaint was that the steak needed about 30 more secs and a tiny bit of finishing salt the sides were great for this, though love seeing parsnips in the winter!. Everything else was wonderfully balanced and satisfying. Affogato after dinner with no decaf option seemed a bit much and I say this as an avid coffee drinker, and the final lemon and cantaloupe? granita was on the simple side. But really a wonderful experience overall and we will definitely be back. 125pp for tasting, 50 for wine pairing. Very much in the proper price range. ”

“ Not sure where to begin, perhaps at the end. Landing was a fantastic lemon sorbet with cantaloupe. I found myself at this restaurant after the concert was canceled. They were able to seat a single woman at a table and give exquisite service. Everything I had was amazing however, the tuna was exceptional, so much so that I use the extra bread to soak up the brown butter. I will definitely return, I am very interested in their brunch. The atmosphere is calm and classy. The front staff of jazz and Chuck are above power. The back staff must be as well as the food and presentation were fantastic. If you dont know where to go in New Haven, you should come here ”

“ Great birthday dinner experience! My boyfriend surprised me with a dinnerdate for my birthday this past January. The Luke had been on my radar and came highly regarded from people I know. So when he walked me to The Luke, needless to say, I was jazzed. Immediately the team greeted us when we stepped inside and brought us to a booth. The interior architecture is quite captivating and totally sets the ambience for the dining experience you are about to embark on. We started out with cocktails and when I tell you the vanilla manhattan was otherworldly, Im not exaggerating. I usually do only one drink when out to dinner, but this manhattan was so perfect, I had to go back for a second. In terms of the actual food and menu, the waitress was very knowledgeable on the menu and even gave us recommendations based on our personal preferences. I always appreciate when a team knows the menu and can speak to it. We ordered the thin slice tuna which sizzled with the tableside brown butter basting our waitress also encouraged us to keep our starter bread to dip in the sauce, the scallops in sunchoke puree, and the truffle polenta. This was a culinary journey that was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We view eating at restaurants as one of our hobbies and this experience left us both impressed, delighted, and perfectly satiated. Finally, I wanted to note that the lemon sorbet with cantaloupe snow was a perfectly light and sweet way to end the meal! Will definitely come back here in the future. ”

“ Ive been here about 10 times already and have always been blown away by the food quality, service and ambience. The Luke just opened for lunch as well and online it says they have a prefixe. My husband and I wanted to do a nice lunch somewhere and we are SO glad we decided to try the Luke for lunch! The price was amazing for the 5 star quality of food, and it felt like a personal dining experience. 2 courses sets you back only 29, which doesnt include the complimentary Prosecco and dessert that they serve up, and 3 courses is 39. There is a really affordable wine pairing 2 course wine pairing for 16 and 3 course for 22. Because the place was quiet, they lavished us with attention and gave us extra food, like white asparagus and even a branzino entree! We had ceviche, beet and tomato salad, sea scallops the best cooked Ive ever had, and porchetta. My husband got to try 4 of their wine pairings! It was a meal to remember and I highly recommend coming here for their lunch, especially while theyre building up their business at this time. ”

“ Without a doubt, The Luke Brasserie is one of the best fine dining experiences in New Haven. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance, the welcome drink, attention to detail, and warm service set the tone for an exceptional evening. Our server, Iris, went above and beyond. Attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. Her recommendations were spot on and truly elevated our dining experience. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The hamachi crudo was delicate and refreshing, a perfect start. The scallops were seared to perfection, tender, flavorful, and artfully plated. The catch of the day fish was flaky and fresh, paired with just the right accompaniments to let the ingredients shine. As a generous gesture, they served asparagus and dessert on the house, which was such a lovely surprise and a testament to their hospitality. And lets not forget the Negroni, absolutely spot on. The Luke Brasserie is a gem in the heart of New Haven. If youre looking for topnotch food, impeccable service, and a memorable evening, this place is a must. Well definitely be back! ”
