Reviews Lukas Seafood-steak-bar

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.

Such a quaint place for v-day, my new york strip was my favorite, the seasoning was perfect. Everything else was regular shmegular. The molten lava cake was from the freezer and creme' brulee was broken, it wasn't smooth, but tasty though serving its purpose for us not cooking this year. There was a rose at each table for the guests, so cute. I forgot mine 😔. The servers are plentiful zipping around everywhere. Nice place.

The rack of lamb was prepared to perfection. The wait staff was extremely helpful and attentive. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. Macaroni and cheese was okay.

!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!!
