    The staff at Lumi were able to accommodate our early seating request which was an hour before our reservation. The sake flights are such a unique item to have and the 2 we had were amazing. The fish was super fresh and tasty. We also go a free mochi ice cream for our anniversary which was a very nice gesture. We found a $50 off a $150+ bill on the in kind app which was also super awesome! Highly recommend.

    Great meal as always! Love the food here and will certainly be back. I had the pork chop and risotto special which was fantastic. Others in our group also loved their choices. We brought a bottle of wine and the corkage fee was $25. It was a bit on the loud side for a table of 8 to hear each other, but in a way that's part of the experience.

    I am beyond satisfied with my experience. I had been waiting for a year for the chance to have this experience. So when I randomly caught an open reservation I had to take it. The food was amazing, the beef short rib was amazingly tender. I was honestly drawn to the ambience and was blown away. The snow falling at the top of the hour was a great addition. We walked the venue and took lots of pictures as well.
