    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.
