    Lukas is located within a strip mall and is the anchor business. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous and professional. We started with Thai Aiolo Calamari, Garlic butter shrimp for appetizer. Our entrees were served in a timely manner not rushing through our meal. The filet mignon was served in a light buttery sauce with green scallions. The steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. They have a good variety of wine but have no idea about them or how to serve them right. They do have indoor and outdoor seating.

    You can not go wrong at Luka's. Your in an atmosphere thats breathes exceptional when it comes to cuisine and service. The steak melts in your mouth and the lobster ravioli is perfection. It doesn't matter what you order here because you are going to throughly enjoy it. Dress up for a night out here or dress down for a lunch during the week. I honestly can't believe I forgot to write a review for this place years ago but now you have the word of a returning patron to help guarantee your experience. There bar menu is also pretty exquisite. I'd recommend making a reservation when coming here for dinner.

    I had the opportunity to take my nephew for his 18th bday lunch. He picked the location out because this one of the places that has the best rack of lamb. The service was super friendly. We shared the calamari, he had the rack of lamb, fries and I ordered the grilled octopus. For dessert the chocolate lava cake and bread pudding was a must. Overall a good spot to celebrate

    Memorable dishes- octopus starter had olive, oil, and acidic flavors with tender octopus segments. The seafood crepe was rich and filled with crab meat, lobster, and with giant scallop on the side. Spinach with butter along with.

    Upscale restaurant with bar, perfect for special occasions or drinks with friends. Beautiful, intimate atmosphere. Menu with plenty of steak and seafood options. Extensive wine menu. Special cheers to the bartenders, lovely ladies are very friendly and recommended and made delicious, unique cocktails (lychee martini!). Previously had dinner there, wonderful, high recommended.

    Disappointed in this place. All the dishes seemed bland. Our New England clam chowder was pretty good. Mussels were huge but the sauce was not flavorful. Steak was missing salt and pepper. Was again bland. The lobster ravioli special was ok. Again not much flavor. The atmosphere is very nice. The service good. They also charge a credit card fee. This is the only nicer restaurant I have seen did this. Kind of comical they would do this. Overall a tasteless experience. Would not return.

    Amazing experience! Nice restaurant! Great wait staff and selective menu. Thai chili Calamari was a hit

    Portions are small but food was delicious. Service was good through appetizers and drinks but we waited awhile for our dinner. Lobster ravioli and octopus appetizer delicious! Chocolate lava cake disappointing because chocolate didn’t ooze out—tasted more like a fudge brownie.

    The foods and atmosphere are good. It was Wednesday night, the restaurant is not busy. Less than half filled. The waiter who served our table is hard to find. At the final bill he added 20% tips probably because we have 8 people. On top of that they add 3% for using credit card. I don’t like the fact they charge 3% using credit card. There’s a lot of good restaurants that don’t charge extra using credit card.

    Recently went for a special occasion as I thought it looked nice on line. Food was small and bland. Soup was like water. They took my reservations but sat us in the bar area on a high top. Would not recommend or go back. Don’t be mislead by the pictures, I was.

    Went for dinner Saturday night. Everything was great food wise and the bartender, waitstaff and busters worked like a well oiled machine. Cannot say enough about the food. Had a great spinach and Brie salad and the dinners were amazing I had the Chilean sea bass it was cooked to perfection and the risotto was delicious we also had the short ribs and a flounder franchise. Swapping the starch was no problem. Definetly going to be a redo soon

    One of the best restaurants I’ve been, the stuff was so nice and attentive. The steaks are the best I’ve had. Drinks on point, if you want to have a good drink don’t think twice. Highly recommended! And I love the way how all the stuff sings happy birthday to their costumers.

    !The food is amazing.The atmosphere is elegant with a warm welcoming, followed by an excellent service. I often get a randon craving for their polenta I cannot resist!! The manager always makes sure you have a good time and takes the time to get to know customers and how they enjoyed their visit. The servers and busboy are excellent, lots of attention to details on order and they never make you feel like you are asking too much. Love this place!!

    Usually, when I get off work, everything is closed by then. I was super grateful that they still accommodated an exhausted, hungry me despite almost closing! Food & service was great too!

    Pros- nice place and atmosphere. Beet salad and Ceasar salad and filet were good. Cons- Old fashion was not good extremely sweet and not what you would expect from a nice restaurant. That was a sign of things to come. I ordered the seafood paella which was on special and is basically the seafood fra Diablo but with “rice”. It was horrible. Tiny lobster over cooked. Shrimp over cooked. Mussels overcooked. Clams completely bad and had to spit out. Calamari rubbery and over cooked couldn’t even swallow. The rest was some wet and terrible Spanish rice. I ate 5% of my meal and when they came to take it away no one even asked me how it was but they clearly noticed I didn’t eat any of it. My son also ordered mashed potatoes and they were clearly “instant” and terrible. The bill for me and my son was $186 with tip. I have 20%. I had two drinks. One was terrible. Would not recommend. Poor food and poor service. No one cared at all that I never touched a $40 main course.

    Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. A true family environment. The food quality varied and in my opinion Lukas is not a fine dining establishment. We had a great time and worth the visit. We will be visiting again soon.

  • 5/5 Anisha K. 1 year ago on Google
    We had dinner at Lukas' Seafood & Grille for the very first time and wish we had discovered this restaurant sooner. Every dish was excellent! My scallops were cooked to perfection, absolutely delicious. My husband had the lobster ravioli and really enjoyed it. Every dish was served right on time with no wait. The service was the best! Everyone was nice and attentive. We highly recommend it and cannot wait to come again.

    Went last night for a birthday dinner. Over $100 each for four people. Ordered porterhouse steaks. Medium rare and they arrived cooked properly. Shared the oyster appetizer and the bluepoints were excellent. Restaurant was very noisy and loud. Couldn’t hear each other. Baked potato’s and French onion soup not available. Strange for a steakhouse. Creamed spinach not creamed- just spinach with thick stalks. Warned at the beginning they were busy, so had to order everything at once. Felt rushed. Server was nice enough but couldn’t hear her so I didn’t get her name when I asked for it. Twice. Overall,disappointing, too$$$. Server whisked away my drink before I was finished. Hate that. Possibly won’t be back.

    Excellent meal at Lukas. Sat in the enclosed patio which is a laid back and relaxing part of the restaurant. Attentive service, nice wine and drink selection, and tasty desserts. Great experience.

  • 4/5 Pierre C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food with reasonable quality/price ratio But they have no idea about how to serve wine. Don't be confused between bedroom temperature (around 60-62) and room temperature which was way above 70s...

    Here is a place that has a nice vibe. Lukas is located within a strip mall and is the anchor business. We decided to go on Sunday for an early dinner before the crowds. It gave us an opportunity to settle in and have a cocktails before dinner. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous and professional. We started with an Old Fashioned which had a nice pour of bourbon. We ordered the Thai Aioli Calamari. The Calamari was lightly dusted in flour giving it a nice crunch to the batter yet still protecting the tender Calamari rings (no head caps or tentacles). The rings were topped with scallions, greens, Thai dressing to make it a tasty preview to what was coming. Our entrees were served in a timely manner not rushing through our meal. The filet mignon was served in a light buttery sauce with green scallions. The steak was cooked to perfection at medium rare. Sides are extra and we ordered broccoli rabe. It was garnished with sauteed garlic and cherry tomatoes in olive oil. The other side was mashed potatoes. The broccoli rabe was delicious while the mashed potatoes were bland but, were topped with fresh parsley. The other entree was pan seared shrimp and scallops over mushroom risotto. Pan searing shrimp and scallops can be very tricky. Best to undercook than overcooked. The seafood was right on that border of being overcooked to my liking but, still good. The mushroom risotto was tasty and moist. The overall dish was eye appealing with the eatable flower. We ended our meal with banana foster and cappuccinos. The banana foster was served with banana slices not the typical horizontal cut. Typically, melted butter, brown sugar and walnuts create that nice caramelization needed to make crust with a crunch. This was missing in our dessert. We did taste a faint bit of liquor but, it needed a little bit more. The ice cream was melting before we were served our dessert but, still had its shape. Although portions of our meal were average we did enjoy it with a desire to come back again to sample other dishes. The restaurant did have a cozy atmosphere with woods and stone walls. Their walls were decorated with art, wine bottles, fireplaces, etc. They do have indoor and outdoor seating sections. The outdoor seating is in front of the restaurant not giving you a good view. They did extend the back of the restaurant. It creates an nice environment with a fireplace and outdoor heating lamps. The glass panels have screens for warmer days and nights to enjoy fresh air. The inside has a bar and three rooms to be seated at. Each room or section has it's own touch of class. The strip mall has plenty of parking with outdoor lighting. Overall, our dining experience was very good and it will cost you but, let that not deter you in trying this restaurant.
