   Luke is a great Brasserie, it’s a wonderful find in New Haven. Unique twist on the seared tuna, definitely recommend and the branzino too, delicious and delicate.

   I have been to The Luke a number of times. It is consistently amazing. The detail and depth of flavors is executed impeccably throughout each course. The restaurant is stunning and the service is top notch. The tuna, scallops, asparagus, branzino and steak are phenomenal! I highly recommend The Luke over and over again!

   The Luke Brasserie is a very welcome addition to the New Haven fine dining scene. The restaurant is located next to the Schubert in a historic 2 story gorgeous building. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. The staff were all top notch from start to finish. The dishes were all outstanding with the freshest ingredients available, the presentation was worthy of applause to the chef. The flavors of every dish were of the highest quality that were like heaven to the taste buds. Complimentary white asparagus, sorbet with shredded melon and French cookies completed what was an extraordinary experience. The Luke is an absolute must and should not be missed.

   This was our first experience, we will be back. Food is good value for money. Small but generous plates made for sharing. Wish their wine selection had more options but overall a great restaurant and experience.

    Last night, we had an amazing dinner at The Luke Brasserie in New Haven. We were treated to a multiple course gourmet and imaginative dinner. What an experience! The restaurant serves a limited menu, changed daily of outstanding food. The dishes are presented for table sharing from the beginning to the end of the meal. Each course was creative and outstanding. We started with two dishes, one of heirloom beets and the other of white asparagus. Both were delicious. Our next course was yellow fin tuna in an Asian style sauce. This is followed by a scallops dish perfectly prepared!  From there, we progressed to pasta rigatoni with snow crab, quite excellent. The next dish was cavatelli with pancetta and chestnuts. Perfect! Our last dish was delicious porchetta in a sauce of beans, chestnuts and panchetta. Again outstanding!! we finished with frozen mascarpone and citrus ice, and the meal ended with a piece of delicious chocolate. You should not forget the great bread and a bottle of wine that we enjoyed during our feast. With each course, will be given a new plate and fresh silverware. We were served by a wonderful staff, and at times the chef came to our table to explain the dishes. Chef Vincent has roots in Italy, studied at the Culinary Institute of America, and has worked in many restaurants in New York with many great and famous chefs. The restaurant is located in the old ballroom of the Taft hotel, next to the Shubert Theater in New Haven. The beautiful architecture adds to the elegance of the restaurant. Our meal was truly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. It brought back memories of outstanding food that I experienced while living in Bologna Italy. The many courses that we had were spaced and were never rushed. Congratulations to the staff and to Chef Vincent for such an outstanding culinary experience. Jay K
