    Incredible food! Ordered the yellowtail cold dish, Toridito, tuna and salmon tacos (would pass on next time due to size), black miso cod (one of the best meals we’ve ever had), rock shrimp tempura, and tuna and salmon hand rolls. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.

    First time visiting Morrow/Steak. When I walked into the restaurant, both hostesses looked at me, but did not say anything which was surprising. The restaurant is beautiful. Very nicely decorated and has a nice laid back atmosphere. Background music was at the right volume so that conversation could be had. Everything we ordered was delicious. Fat Boi roll, Surf and Turf roll, and turducken dumplings were very tasty. Three of us ordered the ribeye, which again we agreed was delicious, but two of the three steaks had an unprofessional trim which was a bit off putting and were overcooked to desired temperature. Others had the lamb chops, cooked perfectly, and the stuffed chicken which was also very good. Overall, it’s was a good dining experience and we will return.

    I’ve submitted several reviews, as I eat here a good bit. It’s silly excellent, still my favorite. There’s a wide variety of Gulf oysters from which to choose. The seafood gumbo is my favorite in the city, really rich & full of protein. I had the Speckled Trout Amandine, which I had not tried before, & it was quite good. In short, it’s always a great meal at Luke, & I’ll keep coming back until they give me a reason not to.

    My basil spaghetti was delicious as was the duck confit eaten by another diner. Another diner had speckled trout which he was unimpressed with. Parts of the fish were undercooked and some parts were overcooked.
