We were in San Diego from out of town and celebrated my birthday here with several friends. Service was lovely and everyone's food was delicious. They even brought dessert with a candle unprompted. Would definitely return.

We were there quite early on a Friday evening and were the only table at 4pm so have no idea if the experience would be comparable with a full restaurant but the food was delicious and the service was perfect. Prices were higher than we expected however so would be more of a special occasion for a repeat visit.

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.
