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...

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...

Easily one of the best breakfasts that I have had in Santa Monica. I have pretty much been everywhere so that’s really saying something. There’s a lot about this place that I really like. First the food quality is great. Our server was extremely polite and very attentive. They have a free giant parking lot in the back, and plenty of seating inside. We sat at the bar because all the dining tables were taken, but it was still a really nice experience. They don’t have a very large menu, but they do have a lot of great choices on it. Lunetta At Night shares the same roof, but is next-door. I plan to be back in the near future to try it because their breakfast was that good.

I started off with a Cappuccino, and it was terrific. Strong and flavorful just like I like it. I chose the Eggs Benedict for my entrée and honestly really loved it. I got a side of the chipotle aïoli, and it was a great combination with the mini potatoes. I especially liked how the ham is shaved instead of a thicker Virginia type ham. I thought it was great and I would order it again.

Overall a great breakfast option in Santa Monica with extremely easy parking. I would recommend to anyone and I plan to be back in the...
