Dishes Sampled
We started with a very refreshing Lemon Mint and a Pink Lady Cocktail, which was a combination of pineapple, bananas, strawberry, and mango. We loved the inclusion of pineapple, which gave it a lovely fresh boost.
Our appetites were primed so we went straight to mains, making short work of our Chicken Lemon Mint and Luka’s Beef Fillet. The grilled chicken breasts were served in a vibrant lemon mint sauce accompanied by penne pasta in a creamy sauce. The chicken was mouthwatering, and the creamy sauce was thick and velvety, but we could have done with more of it. Our personal favorite, the grilled beef fillet was served with red sauce penne, Parmesan cheese and mushroom sauce. The beef was cooked as we requested, and expertly seasoned. Topped with bell peppers and rosemary with the brown mushroom sauce on the side, we loved every mouthful. The pasta sauce had a tasty home-made flavor and the topping of Parmesan cheese was a perfect finishing touch.
There were several tempting desserts to choose from, but we went with Luka’s Homemade Blueberry Cheesecake, which was divine. The biscuit base was crunchy, and the topping was creamy and sweet. The blueberry added a freshness with every bite we took. We also couldn’t miss out on Luka’s signature Brownies topped with vanilla ice cream; the best brownies we had ever eaten. A layer of dark chocolate and a layer of white chocolate with freshly made chocolate sauce and an extra scoop of vanilla ice cream, mixing them together felt like heaven in our mouths. Needless to say, we highly recommend it.
