    Flawless experience, the team at Luminosa executes at a high level. As a local, I’m confident saying this is the best top to bottom operation in town, you could drop this restaurant in any major city and they’d thrive and be near the very top. Highest recommendation.

    The mountain views were gorgeous! The food was outstanding- I had the wagyu fillet and my husband had the rack of lamb. They were accompanied by the most delicious potato leek soup. We were there to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our first date. Our friendly waiter brought us complimentary prosecco and chocolate cake for dessert. We look forward to returning there in the future. ❤️
