I love this place. The food, decor, service are all spot on.
My husband got a Cornish hen dish with a side of truffle fries, and I got a duck carbonara. And a Caesar salad with puffed wild rice. The carbonara had duck prosciutto in it which I had never tried before, and it was quite good. Pasta was cooked very well and the egg made everything very smooth. The puffed wild rice in the Caesar salad added a nice smoky flavour and crunchy fun texture. The truffle fries were average - the truffle flavour was kind of there, not exactly strong.
Now the hen. This was the reason we returned to Luma - they make excellent chicken dishes. But one bite of the Cornish hen made us frantically reach for the water. It was SO salty, it felt like I had a mouthful of some chicken flavoured salt. We sent the dish back to the kitchen for the first time in our lives. TWO servers came and apologized, and a new dish came out, very nicely seasoned this time, piping hot and extremely soft and juicy. We were extremely satisfied with the prompt service and excellent food. We will return... again and again!
