We went for Happy Hour (starting at 3 pm) to celebrate a birthday. Excellent service, great food and great presentation. We got the affetati Misti (chef selection of meats and cheeses) and the burrata to start and some pizzas. All were excellent and our server was very friendly and great at explaining the menu. Highly recommended.

The food at Luke was very good. Service was fairly prompt. We sat by the kitchen, and as a Culinary Arts Instructor and chef, it was fun to watch the back of the house do their thing. Drinks were delicious and prompt and our server even managed to squeeze one more drink in for us at Happy Hour.
