The husband brought me to Luke's Oyster Bar for our 9th anniversary together (how time flies!). I knew it was an expensive place, and must have mentioned it to him a few times and the dear man managed to surprise me wonderfully by quietly booking a table there and letting me order whatever I wanted. Sadly, with the newly-discovered oyster allergy, raw oysters were out of the question.
Their bread (I'm sure there's a more fancy name for it) had a texture similar to muffins - it was served warm, and was great with the lightly spiced butter.
These lobster sliders cost $24 for 8 small serves.
Definitely very yummy, juicy and tender.
We also shared a serve of clam chowder soup, which was super tasty and choc-a-bloc full of clams and potatoes.
It was just a wee bit too rich and creamy, but otherwise fantastic.
We each had half serves of Signature Foley Georges Bank Scallops ($45) roasted with lemon and served with coleslaw, a lobster tail (no idea how much), and USDA prime ribeye ($85). The serving staff were great in offering to split everything down the middle and placing them on our individual plates - they must have gotten used to Asians asking for serves to be shared.
The scallops were PERFECT.
Seared beautifully on the outside, still semi-raw on the inside.
The lobster was good, and so was the beef.

The very excellent waitress managed to get my half of the ribeye done medium-well, and the husband's medium. And both of us were super pleased.
Dessert was warm chocolate chip cookies with a stout milkshake - interesting, very yummy and delicious, but not sure if it was worth $16.
We really enjoyed the food at Luke's, but it was a tad expensive and I'm not sure how often we would be willing to pay that sort of money for this when there's always, say, Morton's for almost the same price (albeit with a different ambiance). I'd consider it a place I wouldn't go back to normally unless someone had a special event, like a birthday. But I'd go back happily.
