Lunetta — Restaurant in Santa Monica

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming restaurant with a large group for my baby shower with friends and I must say, it was an overall wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance and decor created a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The service was prompt and friendly, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu, guiding us through the various options. As a large group, it can sometimes be challenging to accommodate everyone's dietary preferences and restrictions, but this restaurant offered a wide array of dishes that catered to all tastes. The menu featured a delightful blend of traditional and innovative cuisine, showcasing the chef's creativity and expertise.

Now, let's talk about the food; it was absolutely outstanding! Each dish we ordered was beautifully presented, and the flavors were simply exquisite. The attention to detail in each plate was evident, and it was evident that the chef had put a lot of thought and care into every ingredient and combination. From the perfectly seared scallops to the succulent braised short ribs, every bite was a burst of flavor.

The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that everyone left satisfied. Additionally, the restaurant was accommodating when it came to special requests and substitutions, making the dining experience tailored to our preferences.

What truly stood out during our meal was the way the restaurant staff handled our large group. Despite the hustle and bustle, they managed to remain attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed and that our glasses were never empty. They were patient with our questions and requests, making us feel valued and appreciated as guests.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The food is top-notch, the ambiance is inviting, and the service is exceptional. Whether you're dining with a large group or on a fun brunch date, this restaurant is...

My family and I checked out Lunetta for Mother's Day, and while the ambience was great on a sunny day, the food and service left us disappointed. Lunetta is one of those places you try once, and you know you will not return. The prices are typical of brunch spots in LA, but for the portions and quality, I would suggest going to another spot! We paid $26 for a singular crab cake that our waiter said was "big" enough to share, and when he brought it to the table even he had to caveat he was actually referring to the dinner size crab cake as being larger. The crab cake was maybe 2 inches in diameter? If we had know we would have just gotten another entrée to share. Similarly, we ordered the chips and guacamole, and I would have thought the guacamole was going to be bigger for the price of $18. Instead they served it with pico and salsa which were actually pretty tasty, but we had ran out of chips so quickly - that when we asked for a refill, our server forgot until we were ready for the check. The service was slow, but I don't fault our waiter as he seemed to be the only one manning the section of around 10+ tables by himself. It was hard to get a hold of him for our order, refills, etc. I had ordered the steak (medium rare) and eggs and when the dish arrived it was completely well done. I had to wait over 10 minutes to inform my waiter, and waited another 10 minutes to get my remade dish. It was worth the wait because it was cooked better, but overall the food and service was disappointing. If you are looking for brunch I would suggest going to Great White or the...

Terrible experience. I came here for my birthday with my family, a party of 6 and had to leave because the service was inexcusable and just awful. I've been to most of the popular restaurants on this side of town and this is the worst service BY FAR. We arrived after happy hour right as dinner started . Hostess Anne was rude and had an attitude when seating us for no reason even though we had a reservation. I am a college student who has worked as a hostess at the same restaurant for the past few years and let me tell you if I acted like that even once to customers I would be fired. Additionally manager Nicole was unprofessional and dismissive and then when my sister politely asked for a menu because she didn't give her one, she scoffed.

5 out of 6 of us ordered cocktails to start and we were waiting for 30 mins and our drinks never came and nobody even came to take our food order and yet we were sitting right in the middle of restaurant, like it was impossible to forget about us. We ended up leaving after 30 mins because of this. We told our server and he didn't show any concern as to why we were leaving. Restaurant was not busy or understaffed. Just simple carelessness from all we interacted with, I highly suggest you take your...
