    I always love Lunetta. This particular night, a pair of people in the corner (indoors) was playing their phone on speaker and it was tinny and annoying but when we asked, they stopped. The 4 top next to us, celebrating a retirement, were having the kind of good time that can, with small distance between tables, distract us from our conversation. It ended up being OK, I actually had a fun conversation with them and we have some friends in common. But they did have pretty big voices and it was a little hard for us to hear each other, in fact my guest had to change seats so she could hear me better. Nevertheless Lunetta is my go-to for friends, family and others I like to impress.

    I had one of the best tasting menus I’ve ever had. My daughter and I enjoyed every bite from beginning to end. It’s hard for me to leave a review because then the world will know how wonderful this place is and maybe I’ll have trouble getting in in the future! Oh well… when something is this good it’s time to share the joy of it to all.
