Luma

The restaurant itself is beautiful. I ordered Snow crab carbonara and it was very disappointing, theres probably 1 crab leg worth of meat in there, there also was a small piece of shell which i ignored.
There was only 4 tables at the time of our visit and we got our food about 40 minutes later. A bit expensive for what i got and its 1 of those things that make you say “i can cook this better at home”
The mostly empty seats on a saturday evening was a give away and i shouldve known better.
Luma isnt for me and my review is solely based on my personal experience and preference.

We went to Luna to celebrate our birthday and the experience did not disappoint! Our server, Bee, was warm, very personable and attentive. The food was excellent as well, from the appetizer to the dessert everything was delicious!

I took my friend here for her 50th and we both LOVED it!!!!! I typically have bad luck at restaurants but didn’t at LUMA :) This place is now at the top of my list for when I want a special dinner in Toronto. Also portions were such a pleasant surprise, as I really did expect tiny portion of food on a over sized plate, but at LUMA it was quite the opposite!
We STRONGLY recommend this place, as everything was EXCELLENT!
They even gave my friend a Birthday card signed by the team there ❤️
We visited Luma a second time this past week and it was fantastic again! The staff are so welcoming, helpful and attentive. The food was fresh and delicious again. I strongly suggest people try this restaurant over the others in that area as you won’t be disappointed. I LOVE tasty food and LUMA has perfected their dishes to make the food just that;) TOP SHELF! 😉👌

Mona the customer service rep went above and beyond. The experience was already fantastic. I joked about giving us free hot sauce (house made and delicious)..and she went back and grabbed 4 containers the house...who does that?...amazing service

Food was good- the shrimp and gnocchi stood out. The place wasn’t busy but nice interior. Good option in that area.

There was a large event in the bar area at the beginning which was loud but then the corporate group left.

This was our first time going to Luma.
Saw the pictures and decided to give it a try.

The atmosphere was pretty nice. We reserved and got there around 7PM and the main dining area was quite empty.

We got seated pretty quickly and our drinks were brought out quickly and tasted good.

We ordered a set of fries while waiting for the main course and it was really good.

We had the Salmon and Sirloin.
Both were good, tasty and had good portion.

My only gripe was that I ordered the steak as medium but I felt it was a bit undercooked.
The middle was hardly warm while the outside was.

Overall, we enjoyed the place and the waiter was great. He checked on us often and was pleasant to chat with.

Convenient location to go before a show. Branzino was tasty but the curry flavour was too over powering. The price fix menu was very smart but the burger was underwhelming. They went above and beyond for birthday celebration with signed card and dessert which was much appreciated.

(Nov 9, 830pm) - Stopped in to Luma by accident while looking for somewhere for a late dinner and what a pleasant surprise!

Our server Dhyey was an absolute doll, he was attentive, had great recommendations and so much personality - he was the perfect mix of polite and professional, but with the right amount of gentle ribbing/sassiness that was a delight!

We ordered a few cocktails, bottle of wine and a couple appys as well as our mains. Everything was delicious, although the pasta I ordered was just not hitting as I wanted, and when he came to check on us we said everything was great (and 99% of it was!!) but he could tell I didn't love my dish and insisted on having the kitchen make me something else. I really hate sending food back, but Dhyey was so insistent on making it right, which I really appreciated.

We were stuffed and weren't going to have dessert, but he brought out a surprise creme brulee (my absolute dessert weakness) with a "Congratulations" spelled out in chocolate as we'd mentioned we were celebrating our recent elopement with a friend that evening.

Overall it was a top-class meal, and we had the best server experience - thanks Luma & Dhyey!

Had dinner at Luma before catching a show. Ambiance was beautiful and food was excellent. Most of all, the service was phenomenal. Our server went above and beyond and made sure our occasion was celebrated. Huge thanks to Dhyey!

Chewy roast pork belly, salty fries, vanilla sauce like crème brûlée, everything we ordered were disappointing. A ery nice restaurant in good location but disappointing food.

Went here around 530pm, it was fairly empty. This was my first time here. The staff was attentive and friendly. I ordered the ceviche and one wine from their happy hour selection ($1 less expensive). The ceviche was small; like 5 bites small (don't let the pic fool you; the shell it's served on is almost fkat). It was delicious, but for $28 it should be bigger. Sorry but will opt for a bit more food for the sake price elsewhere.

Dined at Luna this past weekend and I have to give the wait staff all the stars in the world! The attention to detail and attentiveness was incredible!!
Dinner was very sad, and tasteless. Fancy resturant with little to no culinary skill.
As I was walking to my table I stepped on a roach as well, so that set the tone for my night.
Coffee came out like warm at best. Definitely will not be back as there are a number of other restaurants to try. The communal washroom was disgusting… no one cleans the area. The stairwell which leads into the building has homeless people sleeping right by the door, be careful as your safety should be kept in mind. All in all, unfortunate experience.

Luma delivers amazing food and attentive service. Highly recommend the truffle mushroom rigatoni! It was so rich and creamy. Also, the Scallops ceviche was a crowd pleaser. It was super fresh, and the presentation was cute.

To start we had the Luma Parmesan Fries. They were too salty but overall still very tasty. The Beef Tartare and the Scallop Ceviche were fresh and flavourful. The Cesar Salad was enjoyable and the white anchovies were a nice touch.

An entrée that stood out for me was the Roasted Pork Belly. The different textures and flavours were complementary to one another. The herbed farro risotto made every bite so satisfying. The Truffle Mushroom Rigatoni was also a favourite amongst the table. The Chocolate Mousse Cake is a great choice for chocolate lovers. Not too sweet but very decadent. Having it accompanied with a cappuccino on the side was exquisite.

The assortment of cocktails were delightful. Love the names. The table was thoroughly impressed by the presentation for The Queen of the South cocktail. Not only was the ambience and setting superb, the staff were also very friendly, attentive and courteous.

The second floor patio overlooking King St West with a perfect view of the CN Tower was a charming touch.

This is random but the hand soap in the bathroom was so pleasant. The small details are what make a restaurant enjoyable. You can tell by the attention to detail how much care and thought has been put into this establishment.

One of my new favorite spots in Toronto.
