Restaurants near New Haven Green Historic District

Two people for lunch — Steak frites perfectly cooked (medium rare), fragrant and slightly spicy chimichurri sauce underneath and really tasty, well seasoned and crispy fries along with some simply dressed greens. A lovely plate! Knowledgeable server (Emily) patiently brought three tastes of red wine (I’m a novice with reds) till I chose. Dark, rich well brewed coffee and a very dense chocolate torte (with an apricot-lemon jam and whipped cream on the side. Very interesting menu and inventive desserts. Highly recommend. Easy parking nearby in the Crown Street garage or on the street. On the south side of The Green.

The Luke Brasserie is a very welcome addition to the New Haven fine dining scene. The restaurant is located next to the Schubert in a historic 2 story gorgeous building. We arrived 15 minutes before they opened and were offered complimentary Prosecco while we waited. The staff were all top notch from start to finish. The dishes were all outstanding with the freshest ingredients available, the presentation was worthy of applause to the chef. The flavors of every dish were of the highest quality that were like heaven to the taste buds. Complimentary white asparagus, sorbet with shredded melon and French cookies completed what was an extraordinary experience. The Luke is an absolute must and should not be missed.

Enjoyed it. Go early to appreciate the atmosphere. Chefs tasting menu was very good. The duck confit with beets was outstanding. Go try it!

Prix fixe lunch was amazing! Had the kale salad and the salmon and both were delicious!

What a great spot ! We came in to have lunch with our daughter who is away at college and what an incredible lunch we had! The food was amazing, (the arancini were to die for). Our waiter was so attentive. Cannot wait to return.
