    We arrived early for our 12:30pm brunch reservation. We were not served until 1:40pm because our "order was lost in translation." Our waiter came to our table a total of 3 times during our visit. Latte was lukewarm, and no sugar was offered. Jidori chicken was very dry.

    We booked reservation for the Lunetta by night restaurant but they refused to sit us there and sat in the Lunetta by day restaurant which did not have the ambiance or comfort we were looking for for our team dinner.

    Our second time. We order a fairly large brunch and the food is consistently well above average for local brunch spots. Service is always excellent if a bit slow...from an omelette to the breakfast sandwich to the polenta/egg...to the breakfast potatoes...if it's all hot it's excellent!

    We love Lunetta,the food the ambience and the service is top notch. It’s great for a gathering or date night. Their menu is always evolving so you never get bored of their menu. You can choose the setting you prefer from outside, Moon Bar or the Gallery Room. All experiences are fantastic. Rafael is an amazing chef. This restaurant shouldn’t be missed. No wonder it’s a Michelin guide five stars from us.

    Other than the excruciating noise inside our lunch date was very enjoyable. The food is very good, tasty and the right amount. Might be quieter outside but may be better to come during "off" hours!

    We made a reservation and still waited 20 minutes for our table, which was covered in food from the previous table and their young kids. The server took another 10 minutes just to greet the table, and the table next to us that sat down after us had their drinks and food before us. The food was great, the service was okay

    Met a friend for early dinner. I had been there several times for brunch or lunch but this was the first time for dinner. Lunetta is a comfortable restaurant. Good food. Pleasant location -- and they have a parking lot! We split a sandwich and an appetizer -- with a glass of wine. Perfect.

    The Nicoise Salad that a friend ordered looked appealing and received high marks, The chopped Salad that I chose, on the other hand, was a skimpy, uninteresting affair, barely more than greens. I’ve enjoyed many good meals here in the past, so I’ll assume this was an aberration.

    First time going to Lunetta and it was a pleasant surprise. Not only is the place super cute for a Sunday brunch, but the food was phenomenal. Top quality ingredients. Yes prices were up there, but it was worth it for me. Took my aunt for her birthday and she had a lovely time. I definitely see myself going back in the near future.

    Service VERY slow, although restaurant may be understandably understaffed in these times. One male server (not our main one) had overpowering fragrance, to which my wife is allergic. We had to ask for utensils with food and three times for napkins, even after foos was served.

    The gnocchi is to die for. Absolutely the best I've ever had! Other dishes are good too, as are the mocktails. Nice wine list, with a lot of variety for a small-to-moderate list. We were served by Garrett and Lauren, who were both excellent. The atmosphere/ambience is great, but the noise level is incredible. Very hard to hear your dining companions. Still, a great experience at a reasonable price.
