The space is lovely, the view terrific, the food 5 out of 10. Unfortuanately, the menu reads better than it tastes. Three of us ordered 4 apps and 3 entrees (2 were the same since the snapper sounded great...both left at least 1/2). The other entree was the meat paella...not made to order but appear...

I'd eat both.

These days I'm usually not as ambitious although, I still won't serve a dessert (even for just husb. and self), unless a...

Luke's non happy hour price is $13 dzn. All he did was discontinue the happy hour special. As for Cooter's, my oysters were usually dirty with bits of shell. I don't care how cheap they are, I want a good "shuck".... don't we all?

Went to Luke for happy hour Sunday. The waiter informed us drinks were still 1/2 price but due to the situation,, 25 cents oysters has been suspended. They are now $13 a dozen. Just happy to get some while I can.

WF on Vets had royal reds last week, $9.99lb.
