Food was very good but we had some pushback about side dish/veggie substitution asked for because of health concerns. Made for a somewhat uncomfortable interaction. Front of house person somewhat more skilled than waitress in trying to resolve issue. Otherwise food was nicely presented, fine tasting, and all things considered not unreasonably priced. I think a smart business approach would have been to offer a comp drink or dessert to reinforce they are trying to please customers…..oh well.

Lunetta is a restaurant for lunch. they have a lot of outdoor seating which I really appreciate. Order the Nicoise Salad which is really two salads in one. They give you all the toppings on the side and the salad mixed on a separate plate. Dinner menu quite broad. I always enjoy the Loup De Mer.

Our Father's Day celebration at Lunetta All Day was perfect. The outside dining area is comfortable and easy to move around. There is plenty of space between tables which gave us a sense of safety. The food was amazing! I had the Nicoises salad and the tuna was super fresh and every ingredient delicious. My husband had the chicken and pancakes and that too was great. My daughter had the best burger I have ever tasted. Everything was delicious and in my opinion- well priced. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Nice happy hour menu--but to access it you have to eat inside. Service was very poor; it seemed to be a management issue, as our table was ignored by staff; it seemed as though our waiter had gone off shift and ghosted us.

Lunetta always has the freshest and tastiest ingredients in their dishes. It i9s mavorite luncheon restaurant. Had the Ahi salad with haricot potatoes, olives and baby tomatoes, just perfect. It came with a wonderful side salad of greens with a most delicious dressing. Our server was attentive and pleasant. The only negative, which Lunetta cannot help, was the party of people who were so loud, it nearly drowned out my friends and my conversation.

Lovely outdoor patio (the OG section). Attentive waitress (maybe a tad too enthusiastic, but not obtrusive). Food was uniformly terrific (except the coleslaw which was bland). The special steak was cooked to perfection; the gnocchi was rich and flavorful; the mussels were plump, not dry, and fully worth the price.

Casual atmosphere with choice of dining indoors or outdoors. Free parking. Excellent food. Between the 4 of us we had the Caesar salad, hamachi crude, pork chops and salmon. All were excellent. For dessert, both the coconut cake and chocolate truffle cake are great choices. Service was timely and friendly. Only drawback was some diners may find the tables too close together for social distancing.
