Lunetta has some new dinner dishes and I enjoyed them. Their tuna tartare appetizer was excellent. I shared it with my friend. I had the pepper crusted tuna and she had salmon for our entrees. Both were good. I love the rare tuna with mushrooms on top. bok choy and an interesting ponzu sauce on the bottom. Nice to it inside in what used to be Lunetta at night. Really pleasurable dinner.

One of the best Thanksgiving dinner experiences I’ve had!! Hostess Erin and server Nicole were truly fantastic!! Thanks for working today!! My two daughters and I tried just about everything on the offered three course menu. Lunetta Back da House and Barkeeps did outstanding on all aspects. Crab Cake and Scallop Appetizers, Oso Buco, Traditional Turkey and Sea Bass mains plus decadent deserts were all exceptional!! Definitely hope they do it again next year!!

Had an early reservation (6:15pm) and was seated promptly. Wasn't busy at all yet no one approached me or the table at all for at least 15 min -- and only did b/c I got up to find the hostess to ask if anyone was covering my section. Finally the server asked me if I wanted anything and brought me water and a glass of wine. Then I waited for another 20 min before anyone returned to check on me or ask if I wanted to order anything. I ordered an appetizer on the server's recommendation but was specific about no onions/scallions/chives/garlic. He assured me none were in the tuna tartare. It arrived filled with raw onions. He took quite some time to return and when he did, he apologized and offered to remake it (which I declined). I ordered the steak and it arrived with onions and chives on top. He took it away to redo it. Then, my greens came, loaded with onions and garlic. He had them remake it but everything was served intermittently and over an extended period of time. Best part of the meal was the fries. The rest was a comedy of errors.

The service (from waiter and receptionist at door) was top notch but one of the entries, the salmon sandwich was below expectations because the sour dough bread was over-toasted and was so saturated with the cole slaw dressing that it was so messy it had to be eaten with a fork.

Ambiance and food are stellar. Waited 45 min for our drinks. Service was extremely slow and not addressed until we said something. Seemed like they had only one server for a packed house. I love not being rushed but also feel like at the very least, drinks should come out quick so you’re not just sitting there. I love the place though, so will return. Just hope the reconcile their staffing issue.

A few years ago, I'd been here on a weekend night and found it dark, crowded and noisy (more of a club than a restaurant feel) ... don't know if that's still the case, but on a Wednesday night it was comfortable, the service was great, and the food was excellent. The chicken parmesan over pappardelle was delicious comfort food -- perfect (along with the meatballs and fried calamari) to share over drinks ...

Welcoming atmosphere and cuisine. Very solid on food and service with a variety of beverage options to satisfy everyone from regular Joes and Josephines to well heeled oenophiles. Appears to be dog friendly out on the patio, and the crowd was a good mix of everyone from brunch mamas to families to birthday celebrants to locals on the days that I have been there.

Came here for brunch on a Saturday, and the atmosphere was really great on their outside patio. However, when our food came out, all of our dishes for our entire party were at best room temperature, if not cool to the touch/taste. Also, service was slow and we were rarely checked on for refills, etc.

Both my husband and I ordered the petite filet, which we had before and it was very tender. Last night it was not tender and we were both dissapointed. There was a party inside and maybe the kitchen was too busy.

Once we moved inside all was well. At first we were seated over the manhole cover outside. The sewer smell was seeping up and horrible. They moved us inside as no other outside tables were available and all was great. The They should eliminate that table!
