    Casa la Luna (formerly Luca) has always been our go-to restaurant for special occasions and has never been disappointed. This dinner was no exception. The food, pork osso buco and halibut were cooked to perfection. The server was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. We were quite taken back by the attitude of the two women hostesses upon arrival. Definitely not reflection of the warm and cheerful greeting as on past occasions. We arrived about 20-25 minutes ahead of our reservation with the thought of having a cocktail before dinner as there was several open seats at the bar. When informing the hostesses of our desire to do so, we received a cold and distasteful response, for reasons unknown. Fortunately, the rest of the evening was truly enjoyable!
