    The food and service were great, just a bit noisy, as expected, with many celebrating. The food format, small plate tapas now, changed since our last visit a year ago, we are from out of town, but still plenty to share. Highly recommended!

    We dined at August nine years ago, and the food was so memorable we returned. The bar was set so high the first time, we didn’t think it would be possible to exceed it. Ann Marie, Felicia and the ladies delivering the food from the kitchen were quite the team. My husband and I are still reveling in our experience. Every course on the Réveillon Menu was a journey in taste and got better as we headed for dessert. I ate my first pumpkin dish and raw oyster. Kudos to the chef. The food was outstanding. My husband really enjoyed the spoon bread. My favorite was the pan-seared pompano. We will continue to make dining at August a priority every time we return to New Orleans.

    Fantastic experience at Luke on Dec 9. Our wait staff was amazing and knowledgeable. Really appreciate that so much of the menu was available gluten free and the knowledge of the staff. Trout was my favorite dish while in New Orleans over 4 days. Will go back and highly recommend. Only negative was the noise. It was very loud in there.
