A few of my girlfriends and I went to Luma on a Wednesday after work for Magic Hour.
Magic hour truly is magical. Drinks are only $5 and you really cannot complain with that price. Our server was a lovely lady by the name of Jenel who was personable and made our experience delightful - she made suggestions and was attentive.
My first drink was the bottomless Havana- I didn't really taste much alcohol so the drink in my opinion was OK. I prefer to taste (even if just a bit) some alcohol in my beverage. I decided to change gears and finished the night off with a couple of glasses of wine.
My friend and I shared the beef sliders and truffle parm fries. We opted to get an additional slider so we can have two each and both the sliders and fries were DELICIOUS. I wish more fries came for $9.00. The bowl is somewhat deceiving. It comes in a beautiful wooden bowl but you'll notice that a couple of dips in that you are almost done as it's not steep. For $9.00, I think they should consider new plating or a new price.
Our whole group had a lovely time. We hung out on couch, the benches, we took up two small chic golden tables. I felt as though as I was hanging out at a girlfriends place. The ambiance and atmosphere were great and it wasn't overly posh (not my type and hard to find in Toronto). I feel that in Toronto there are usually two types of places you'll find: you either get hipster dives and don't fit in or the I am a business professional, don't bother me or cough in my presence type of vibe. I had this fear going into Luma that it would be that type of place- but it was polar opposite. There were people of all kinds there and it made our experience comfortable.
We had a great view of King Street and on a nice sunny day, it really gets the energy going.
I suggest that they also get some more bartenders though, for our last round of drinks we almost waited a good 15 minutes. With a great promo such as Magic Hour and being located on a busy work oriented sector- you need to be prepared for that kind of slam.
Overall though, everything was awesome, I was content with the food and drink options.
I will certainly be back for some more!
