Luke’s Kitchen and Bar, located at 640 S Orlando Ave in Matiland, will soon undergo significant renovations, according to a recent report in Orlando Weekly.
The report outlines that the longtime establishment is “overhauling its patio area and converting it into a modern outdoor lounge complete with wood-fired oven, new menu items and a ‘unique outdoor lounge experience’.”
Readers unfamiliar with Luke’s may refer to the restaurant’s self-definition, as laid out on the official website:
“Welcome to Luke’s Kitchen and Bar, the third concept by the partners of Park Lights Hospitality Group, of Luma on Park and Prato – led by visionary chef Brandon McGlamery, Executive Chef Ricky Ferraro, and operations maven Tim Noelke. We are an everyday neighborhood restaurant that delivers culturally and community inspired, ingredient-driven dishes focused on our unique takes on American cuisine.”
“We make everything in-house and we source locally as much as possible. Inspired by the culinary traditions from coast to coast, our trusted team delivers carefully curated oysters, a high-quality raw bar, an array of small plates, and entrees cooked over an open fire grill. The beverage program features classically-inspired libations prepared with fresh and house-made ingredients, as well as an extensive selection of craft beer and wine.”
What Now Orlando briefly contacted Tim Noelke, Operating Partner, who confirmed the developments as reported.
