Loved my jidori Chicken! And that fig cocktail was amazing!!! Our server Garett was wonderful. Perfect timing bringing each item. We will be back š

The food and service at Lunetta were outstanding! We absolutely loved the Tuna Tartare. The flavors were fresh and bright with the perfect seasoning. The prawn/shrimp dish with pasta in a bisque sauce was divine! I just hope that they will continue those two dishes so that I can return soon and enjoy them again!

Delicious, local, elevated. Everyone cleaned their (ample) plates! Our server Andres could not have been more hospitable. We chose the patio but there are really four moods availableāincluding the lovely dining room.

This place used be so popular... last time I was at this restaurant was probably 9 months ago ago? Till then I used to there regularly. I got a chance to go there on Sunday and I looked forward ! Big disappointment! First of all, although it was 12-1 pm on Sunday , like 20% of tables were filled. Before, people were lining for Sunday brunch! Second of all, waiter was not friendly , unlike before, rather rude. The most disappointment was food The presentation, the quality... nothing was like before. I would never go there again.

Woman manager did an amazing job sorting out a small snafu. Food and wine were amazing as usual.

Went for the Spanish dinner and wine pairing paella and lamb. Everything was excellent. We especially loved the tortilla espanol. Could have a second round!

Some of the worst service we've experienced. It took us 30 minutes to even get water at the table and another 30 minutes to even get drinks. We were there for over an hour before even ordering our food. The food was good, but unfortunately the poor service overshadowed the quality of the food.
Lisa
We are so lucky to have this delightful restaurant in the neighborhood. Delicious food in a relaxing environment with friendly service. Hopefully the seafood risotto, a special last night, will be added to the regular menu!

I love the ambiance of the blue room, the whole vibe and service. Last night I was a bit heartbroken to learn that they no longer serve their outstanding burgers and onion rings at dinner (we had brought guests for this reason). So we ordered off the menu- it was good, but nothing outstanding/memorable for the price. After dinner learned that they discontinued their onion rings altogether - even at lunch. I have never had more tantalizing battered onion rings in my life. If the French fries were anything special (they are not) I would make a trip for a late lunch. Sad this local, cozy place will no longer be in our pocket.

Wonderful meal. We had an infant with us and the wait staff was patient and accommodating. On top of that, the food was amazing!
This place came highly recommended from my lady friends who do luncheons regularly. I was blown away by the rock shrimp sandwich, had to control myself not ordering it again for round 2! I hope it stays on regular menu not just DineLA. There are 7 others things on the menu I want to try, well balanced flavors that hits the spot. Lovely atmosphere will definitely come back again and again.

Unfortunately, a very uncomfortable experience. I came in on a Saturday around 3 PM with a client. We ordered coffee and were planning to order food shortly after. When I asked if they had organic milk, the waiter responded sarcastically with something like, āWe only have human stuff,ā which felt strange and inappropriate.
Not long after, he returned and told us the kitchen was closing, even though the restaurant is listed as open until 9 PM. He said that unless we ordered food right then, weād have to move to the bar. We explained that we were planning to eat soon, but were still asked to move.
The tone and energy were very off, and we didnāt feel welcome. We decided to cancel the order and leave.
This was actually my second time giving this place a try. Sadly, both times the service left me disappointed. Iām sharing this as my personal experience and hope itās helpful for others.

We popped in without a reservation before a nearby concert and got what felt like special treatment without being special. The service was attentive and quirky and honest and the food was delicious. I can't wait to go back.
