High end French cafe with a limited menu. Beautiful atmosphere. French pop music playing. Open kitchen, you can watch and chefs cook. Small cocktail menu. Daily Happy Hour selection. Thoroughly enjoyed Happy Hour, light dinner, and cocktails.

My gluten free meal was handled very nicely by the very celiac aware server. This restaurant actually has a dedicated fryer for those with gluten allergies. I ordered the crab Benedict & the croissant was substituted with lettuce. I find hollandaise rich so I didn’t elect to go for the gf bread on offer. The crab meat was that mishmash grainy type, not actual lovely crab morsels which I prefer. However, it was still tasty & not mushy at least. Crepes looked wonderful & a BLT on a croissant were all enjoyed. I loved having the fries, a rare treat for me as most restaurants do not have a dedicated fryer.

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!
