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!

We go here for my wife's birthday which is on Christmas Eve. Not many places are open then and we really like the food and hospitality of AOC. Even though they don't take requests, they had a nice table for us indoors. It made it extra special to have carolers as well.

We had booked a reservation for Christmas Eve a month in advance, but when we arrived we were not seated for 30 minutes past our reservation time. Nevertheless, once we were seated the service was prompt and friendly, and all of the food was delicious. The various vegetable sides were terrific, including the broccolini, the kombucha squash, and the carrots.
