Luke's Kitchen and Bar

Went to Luke's for the first time. The food was good. We had the Ribeye and steak sandwich. Had wings which had a good kick to them and the homemade ranch was good. Luke's Old fashioned and espresso martini were good. We asked for a table. They offered a table, we talked it over for maybe 30 seconds. No one was waiting in the lobby area. The hostess told us the table was no longer available because of reservations. Im sorry, but there was 5 open tables in the front and at least 3 in the back. If you can't give priority to people who are already here ready to spend money, maybe you need to figure out your reservation system. I dont mind sitting at the bar but the hostesses and their inability to know what is and isn't available was annoying to me, especially with all the open tables thr

Bustling New American dining in Orlando’s Maitland area. On the eve of my last licensing exams, we chose Luke’s to drop studying, wind down and just enjoy a good meal. We chose right. Service was fantastic, knowledgeable and fun. The food was incredible, each plate was a star. We started off with the PB&J spare ribs, because well, we had to try this combination and we were pleasantly surprised. We also orders the Flat Iron Steak, the Rock Shrimp and the Roasted Parsnips. Steak was cooked perfectly and beautifully tender. The Rock Shrimp was a flavor bomb and the Roasted Parsnips were phenomenal. I tried (with some success) recreating this dish at home later that week we loved it so much.

I LOVED my time at Lukes. The indoor and outdoor seating are very different, almost feels like 2 different restaurants. We had indoor seating right next to the kitchen, loved how all the cooks looked joyful while preparing the dishes. Everything I had and tasted was delightful. Some recommendations are: Goat cheese, mushroom and fig flatbread, mushroom creme, the field greens salad was refreshing, the waffle *nom nom, did not even need syrup and the bananas upside down cake.

Every time we come to Luke’s we are blown away. Everything is good. All of it. The service is top notch. AJ is attentive and kind and tonight we had her sister Bianca as a server and the excellence runs in the family. I do have to mention that the ginger soy salmon was cooked PERFECTLY. Highly recommend. Kudos to the cook, Berman, you are incredible!! Keep that up. We will be back again. Oh, and Austin thanks for helping me find the name with a smile! Luke’s staff, you guys are the best. Run, don’t walk, and try this place out. And make sure you get the soft serve ice cream, it’s such a nice treat to end the meal.

Had a great time at Luke’s Kitchen and Bar! The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d go back to for a quality meal and great atmosphere.
