DeLukas Restaurant & Bar: Reviews & Ratings
This was our first visit to DeLukas. The interior is beautiful. We were greeted and seated by the owner who was very gracious. I had lamb shank and my wife had chicken parmigiana. Both meals were wonderful and the portions were very generous. Our server, Anna, was very pleasant. This was the most enjoyable dining experience in a long time. I can't wait to go back.
This Mediterranean-Balkan restaurant is the perfect blend of elegance and authenticity, offering a refined dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of the region. From the moment you step inside, the sophisticated ambiance sets the tone—warm lighting, tasteful decor, and an inviting atmosphere that balances modern luxury with traditional charm. The menu is a masterpiece, featuring elevated Balkan and Mediterranean dishes made with the finest ingredients. The grilled meats, such as tender lamb chops and juicy cevapi, are cooked to perfection, while the seafood options, like grilled branzino and octopus, showcase the restaurant’s dedication to fresh, high-quality flavors. Each dish is beautifully plated, making the dining experience feel extra special. For starters, the mezze platter is a must—offering a selection of delicacies like hummus, baba ganoush, ajvar, and freshly baked bread. The shopska salad is crisp and refreshing, while the cheese-stuffed peppers add a flavorful touch. The service is impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who provide thoughtful recommendations and ensure that every detail of your meal is perfect. The wine list is carefully curated, featuring a selection of fine Balkan and Mediterranean wines that pair beautifully with the dishes. For dessert, the pistachio baklava or a delicate crepe filled with rich, creamy filling is the perfect way to end an extraordinary meal. This restaurant is ideal for a special occasion, a romantic dinner, or simply a night out when you want to indulge in exquisite food and a luxurious setting. If you’re looking for an upscale take on Mediterranean and Balkan cuisine, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!
Hidden gem located near downtown Clearwater. Our waiter Ned was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was excellent, as was the service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this Croatian themed restaurant.
Come to a beautiful atmosphere, that is so welcoming not only by its staff but its food. The food is jaw dropping and soooo delicious all made by Scratch. So it will be a wait for your food to come out however it is so worth it. I had their famous spinach and artichoke dip for appetizer and for my dinner their Meat madness made with homemade meatballs!!
This place is a little piece of heaven. The food, the atmosphere, the service - there’s something so special. You can sense the place is filled with love and passion for food. A very memorable date with my little girl. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience, truly
The most delicious Chicken Schnitzel...melt in your mouth! Topped off with my fav wine, a Croation Raspberry..a sweet red. My Mother's Day gift to me. Zee and his crew are lovely people. The best of everything embraced in a wonderful ambiance. 5 stars and 5 hearts!
We came with a large group and all the food was absolutely delicious and the service was 5. We had so many different dishes. One person received the incorrect dish and it was rectified immediately. We would highly recommend this establishment!
Beautiful interior with outdoor patio seating. Very nice atmosphere and pleasing ambiance. Throughout the restaurant there are nice smelling candles and clean bathrooms. Live pianist plays some Saturdays. Service is excellent (we had Ned as our waiter) and a wide selection of wine and drinks. Fresh hot served bread was the best I’ve had around. The food is very tasty and delicious. Creamy mashed potatoes and tender meats. From the minute we walked in we were impressed and throughout our meal and dining we were very satisfied. We will definitely be retuning!
