Weird vibe and service! The host told us our preferred dining area, the indoor cafe, was under renovation. Then she sat us in the dark bar area. Waiter was a cold fish who ignored us. Gave us a happy hour menu. Said we couldn’t order from it because it’s for the cafe side of the restaurant only. When we said we wanted to order from the happy hour menu the host moved us to the cafe side which was not under renovation. Sat us next to a dj set up with speakers. The cafe bar filled up with 20 people milling around our table and then the dj started playing music. Left embarrassed that I recommended lunetta to friends. I think we’re done.

We visited Lunetta for brunch and sat outdoors on the side patio, which was cute and comfortable. Our food was amazing - the Memela ( with added chicken breast) never disappoints, and the special Crab Benedict was also very good. The pastry case is incredible! We took home cookies and a loaf (banana-chocolate chip/yum). The best part of Lunetta is the incredible staff and comfortable food that makes you feel happy and at ease.

Lunetta, is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the Pico neighborhood. The cafe has a fresh, casual vibe, and the dinning room on the other side is more refined and cozy. The food and drinks are amazing and I am always impressed by the presentation. The service and staff are wonderful, and go above and beyond and make sure you are well taken care of. You can't go wrong with this place! It is by far one of the best restaurants on the westside.

We waited an hour to get two very simple egg dishes. We asked the server and he said it was coming shortly. Finally, we asked the manager and she found out the order had been placed very late. She was good enough to give us a discount.

This has been a favorite restaurant to introduce to friends, but today fell short. I purposely reserved the outdoor island for more space but the host squeezed us in a little courtyard table. She said there weren’t any tables in the island, but I could see many empty ones. Courtyard had weird little bugs that kept ending up in our food and my cousin found a hair in her salad. I did love this restaurant but I feel like the service and food are tired and need a refresh.

Food was delicious -- best French toast I've had in a long time, and I loved their free-range eggs with their orange-ish yolks. A bit pricey, but so are most restaurants of its kind these days. The service could've been better. The greeter was sullen and tried to stick us at a tiny uncomfortable table. They put us at a bigger table, but it was in the hot sun... and why have metallic tables on an outdoor space unless you want to use them to heat up and use them to cook your food? The wait staff was kind and accommodating, however.

The food was mostly great. The Brussels were soggy and when we mentioned this to the server he said that’s how they came. He was abrupt and seemed to be having a bad day and not really wanting to be there on this day and that was unfortunate in how it impacted our experience and overall impression visiting this restaurant for the first time.

Service was SLOW, Prices were HIGH. Quality was as it should be in a Upscale SM Bistro, EXCELLENT! The $52.00 Loop De Mare playing could be rounded up with the addition of Cilantro Rice as a side. That could make the pricing seem more palatable.
