Came from out of town based on recommendation. We were unaware that Lucas closed early and arrived 3 minutes after 2pm closing time. There were still people outside enjoying lunch and doors were open.
We were greeted very nicely and very apologetically told they were closed. I understand keeping set schedules, but we were only two people.
They should’ve made the effort to serve us lunch, especially after coming from out of town. Very disappointing that a business would rather turn away a customer than serving them…I repeat…I understand keeping specific hours, but people were still enjoying lunch, everyone was still working and we were only TWO people with no one else arriving.
As a restaurant owner myself, I WOULD’VE made the exception!

Lovely owners, food is great. Cookies and other goodies are so good 😊. Thank you for the wonderful lunch.
A map search of “breakfast near me” led me to this little GEM of a neighborhood bistro. First of all, the grits represent! They were delicious and creamy and flavorful. Some of the best I’ve had in NOLA! The sharp white cheddar is what makes an average bacon egg and cheese sandwich something special here. You should try it. Then they have this grill brie and apple sandwich. It’ll make you come back! Thanks for everything. Great service & quaint neighborhood bistro setting. Oh I’ll be back
Staff was courteous. Orders were taken quickly and the menu was laid out fairly straight-forward. Service was a little slower than expected considering the number of customers.
Location has a lot of outdoor seating and a small area inside.
Ordered coffee and Oreo beignets. As expected with just about anything Oreo, they were good and the coffee was above average (as far as standard hot coffee goes). 1 order of beignets is enough for 1 adult unless you're really hungry.

The apple & brie croissant was everything I wanted- sweet and delectable. The apples were soft like apple pie. The Signature salad was underwhelming and overpriced. The bell pepper rings were interesting to try!
Grabbed some to-go for breakfast on a Saturday morning. I got the shrimp & grits and my friend got the steak & egg sandwich. The wait time was about 20 minutes longer than the quoted time, but we're in the middle of a pandemic and recovering from a hurricane 2 days ago, so the few extra minutes was totally understandable. Judging from the number of names that were called as we waited, they had a ton of online orders. The portions were small to me. You might want some sort of side if you're ordering a breakfast sandwich. My shrimp & grits were pretty bomb, truly, but the portion was also on the smaller side. The dine-in situation looked really nice, with ample outside seating that made me wish we were eating there. It's a cute neighborhood place. The total with grat for our two items was just over $28. I'll be back to sit outside and try more of the menu.
Just ordered since COVID-19 hit the world. Before Luca Eats was great and had wonderful service. Today, it was mediocre at best. Portions are half what they used to be though they increased the price. They don't even bother filling up their tiny takeout containers.
You also have to order online, and they won't service you if you show up there. There are no paper menus, and they push everything to their website. So if you don't have a data plan, you're screwed. Like another reviewer said, they have become the face of gentrification.
Oh, and don't bother asking for anything. Everything costs extra now. Asked for another dressing for my salad. $1.25 for a small ramekin.
Coffee was still excellent. Though it was $7.
