We always had a great time at Lunetta since they opened. We have been a loyal fan to Raphael since the Jiraffe days. Keep up the great work.
Menus
We had a 5pm reservation and had the center patio to ourselves for a quiet half hour. Service was impeccable. I had the "Eat Like a Local" special--delicious, beautiful plates of food. For the main course I had the surf and turf--delicious and perfectly prepared. Perfect amount for a meal. My wife had the stunning delicious pork chops with berries with a large portion of vegetables. She was beaming from ear to ear. The delicious ice cream sandwich came with the special meal and could tell it was made in-house with chocolate chips in the sandwich part. I also had the chocolate bourbon cake--comes warm--I could eat every night. Thanks chef.
Great waiter amazing food choices a lot of us got the tuna special and the toffee pudding dessert Loved seeing Chef Lunetta in the house !
We were back in the patio with greenery all around. The service is excellent, as is the food. Definitely worth going back again and again.
It's my go-to place in Santa Monica for meeting folks. I'm retired now but was working close by so that's why it has been used by several people I previously worked with. In fact, I bumped into someone I worked with when I went to eat there recently.
Went here to treat my team because itâs outdoors and has a good ambiance. The food is average for what you pay and the service wasnât great. Maybe because it was short staffed? We ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer but it never came and she never came back and apologized or update us on it. Water took a long time to get and it didnât seem THAT busy for a Thursday lunch.
Met a friend for brunch. We sat in the patio connected to the restaurant which is super charming. The two patios set up in the back parking lot looked not as charming although for larger parties would have been just fine. They're much nicer than the standard pop up patios around town. Wanted to get the memela as my entree which the online menu says is available during the week but waiter informed us it's only on the weekends. Was disappointed because we specifically headed there with a taste for those :( Must say their Gibraltar coffee was top notch!!! Soooooo good and worth going back just for that! Robust without a hint of bitterness.
Everything about our experience was exceptional, from the service to the delicious food! We most definitely ate too much.
Great Benedicts for brunch with dog-friendly semi-covered patio.
Food and service was good but we had a 8:45 reservation and they were closing the restaurant at 9:30 so it felt a little rushed.
