    We have eaten at Cafe Lunette and every time it is a wonderful experience. Our experience on Sunday evening was no different. Jon is a great server and provided the dining experience expected for this restaurant. The food was delicious. We'll be back!

    Decent food, but service was rather slow. It was also 24 degrees in the restaurant and I found it quite warm.

    Food was delicious from start to finish and quick to arrive. Serve was excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive. Even though we didn't order dessert, we got sent away with a little box of 4 yummy house made macarons! Nice touch!

    Wonderful afternoon. Good food excellent service I love the ambience. If there was only one thing it was, the music was a little too loud for the elderly who were with us who were wearing hearing aids. But otherwise it was amazing

    We had a nice meal. The french onion soup was amazing, maybe the best I have ever had. We selected. My wife had seared salmon... it was OK, but a bit fishy and I think that there is really no excuse for that in Nova Scotia. I had the chicken confit, which was very good. A bit expensive but a nice experience. Service was very good.
