Food was fine. Nothing wrong, just a bit bland. Makes sense for this location - touristy. Service was outstanding. Busboy made extra efforts to keep us warm by repositioning the heat lamps and refilling them with propane. Nice touch.

The menu at all True Food Kitchens works for our family. It accommodates dietary restrictions, provides healthy options, and the food has been consistently delicious. This was true of our Santa Monica experience (and one that night in Newport Beach as well.) In Santa Monica, we had a time issue, and the service got us fed and out on time.

I love Lunetta. Their service is only matched by their delicious food. The 4 of us rolled through most of the appetizers and then ordered one entre, which left room for two fabulous deserts. Everything on the menu is a hit, so pick your preferences. And your drinks. It was a great meal!

Very nice place for breakfast or brunch. Very cute ambiance, friendly service and delicious food. Notes: I would sit indoors as the view outside is more street than ocean and the street there has a lot of traffic. Parking at the hotel valet is expensive even with validation, so if you have time to park in one of the local structures and walk over, that's a more economical choice.
