"This bustling Creole-style brasserie in the Hilton New Orleans does a superb job with raw and cured seafood including a wow seafood tower for the table that is crowned with a Maine lobster. There are so many good choices, from the pork schnitzel to the steak frites with duck fat bearnaise. Great wine and beer options too." - Beth D’Addono
"Try to resist the Luke burger (Benton’s bacon! Melted Swiss!) and opt for the shrimp and grits at this solid seafood-driven bistro on St.Charles Avenue. Luke jazzes up the traditional Southern breakfast entree with roasted jalapeño cheese grits, bites of andouille and green onion sausage crowned with huge local shrimp, perfectly cooked." - Beth D’Addono
"Luke, the elegant brasserie located in the downtown Hilton hotel, has long been known for its fresh raw seafood — including being one of few spots in town to splurge on a seafood tower. No need to splurge at happy hour, however — the restaurant’s beloved special offers $1.50 Gulf oysters on the half shell from 3 to 6 p.m. daily, as well as half-priced cocktails, wine by the glass, and draft beer." - Clair Lorell
"We love Luke for all things seafood, and its Friday fish fry special is no different — a cornmeal-fried catfish plate is served with blue crab mac and cheese, potato salad, Texas toast, dill pickles, and dipping sauces, available for dine-in only during dinner." - Clair Lorell
"Luke is a primo spot for watching the parades as they roll toward Canal Street. The elegant brasserie in the Hilton is offering wristbands along with French and German fare for every parade. Priced from $35 to $75 depending on the day, the access is for the bathroom and viewing stands, with food and drink to be purchased separately." - Beth D’Addono
