Off the top we told staff we were going to a show....service was not a problem. There on a weekday -- the room wasn't crowded. But we reserved to be sure we had a good table. Lots of people seem to meet in the lounge...More
A beautiful high ceilinged space with a great view of King St when you ask for a booth along the window. Always great food but the gnocchi we enjoyed New Year’s Eve was as good as I’ve ever enjoyed.
I have never been her before and my daughter was treating us to dinner before we went to a concert, all I can say is wow! We had delicious cocktails to start and then both had the lamb shank for dinner it was way beyond...More
There were six of us who entered Luma. We seated ourselves and waited for service. Nobody came. Someone had to go and track down a server. The drinks were okay. One of our group ordered some finger food. That was fine. There were not a...More

Maybe it was just me, but , it wasn't. We walked into this bar at 4:30 on a weekday. There were a few people in the lounge area. A pleasant woman approached and we ordered drinks. They advertise a martini special. After she served it,...More

Told staff we were going to a show....food served promptly. Friendly welcoming staff. I had an excellent smoked duck and wife lamb shank. Both delicious. We began dinner with escargot & roasted bone marrow...yummy. Worth the cost for sure. Memorable evening :)

Our food was good but the wine was better! The smoked duck and sausage duo which was quite good though the swiss chard was very bitter. However, the cod left dish left much to be desired, especially the portion size. The saving grace was the...More
We went to Luma today for lunch. I had never been there but my friend has been more then once. It is upstairs at the TIFF building. Very ultra modern setting in a huge expansive area. One side of the restaurant has a long strip...More
We went to Luma for winterlicious. It's quite a disappointment. The bone marrow was overwhelmed by the herbs and oil, also slightly overcooked. The pork shoulder was dry beyond rescue, left most of it on the plate. The ambience is also agitating and uncomfortable, deluged...More
Went on Sunday with my cousins for our annual Winterlicious outting - what a great pick!! Our server BEN was amazing! So knowledgeable in the menu and so super nice! Can't wait to go back!
Went with a group of friends first week of January. Ambience was great and the food delicious! Spicy steak tartare was amazing (have habanero sauce on the side if you don’t like spicy) and so was the smoked mackerel appetizer. Chicken liver hummus was on...More
