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.
