    We had the most magical evening at Luke’s on Christmas Eve. Tables hadn’t turned when we arrived, but the chef sent us Prosecco while we waited then offered to set us up at a table in the bar. Felt almost like private dining. The bartender filled in beautifully and the food was exquisite. We had so much fun trying so many different dishes that time slipped away. The evening ended with the chef giving our daughter a Christmas present (one for each table). We will definitely go back!

    Our group of 4 enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience at Farm Italy. We requested a quiet table and sat upstairs in the luxe modern-rustic fireplace room. The vibe is relaxed, warm and elegant…a great setting for conversation and superlative dining. Everything from cocktails to dessert was impeccably fresh, creative, beautiful and delicious! This is wonderful, elevated cuisine to be shared and enjoyed … each sip and bite a delight.

    Table was ready right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions about menu. They were accommodating of our young family member, bringing a few gelato samples before we ordered dessert. Overall, was a great family night for a special occasion.

    We had a wonderful meal. Our appetizer, Tuna tartare perfectly prepared. Also , lollipop lamb chops, although much smaller than previously but still delicious. Entre ,lamb with cavatelli , this was a special but should always be on the menu!! Shout out to Lupe who was a very attentive and friendly hostess.Also, the band was amazing (I did not know they did this on Thursday nights) . Music added to a very romantic atmosphere for my husband and I as we celebrated our anniversary !
