    Had such a great time celebrating Mothers Day with my mom and Sister. We previously visited the Scottsdale location for my 39th Birthday. Santa Monica Location did not disappoint. Absolutely loved that you get a view of the Ocean, which is what we requested. The whipped eggplant is Devine and our favorite. All of the food and service was great.

    Perfect experience. Ran into an old friend while we were waiting to be seated which made me feel like a local. Dining at Lunetta is a treat because the service is flawless, menu on point, original, beautiful, and scrumptious. Sunday brunch was every thing we could have possibly desired wrapped up in charming ambiance, artistry, poise and warm smiles. I loved every moment and cannot wait to return. Lovely time.
