| - Saturday night, somehow managed to get a table for 7pm. Normally in good restaurants i struggle with which item to pick from the menu. I usually um and err over 2 choices. But in Luma i was stuck between the rabbit, the steak, the salmon, the chicken or the venison.
Eventually i went with the steak to try out the parmasan frites that go along side it, my choice was made easier too because my dad chose the rabbit so I could test some of that dish as well!
The steak was medium rare just as i asked, deliciously tender and the frites were good! The rabbit was amazing with a herby flavouring. I also had the garlic confit mushrooms to start, this was a plate of many different types of mushroom which was interesting, ive never noticed the difference in tastes and textures before. Mushrooms were always just mushrooms to me. My dad had the squid to start that was a nice light japanese battered dish with a fresh salad.
The vesper's rose cocktail is delicious, it tastes like grape soda, not sure how considering its rose gin, vodka, creme yvette and .... Oh i forget, it was so good i had to order a different drink in between to stop myself from chugging them.
Shame we didnt get a window seat, would have loved to people watch from that great view. But wherever u are seated in that room, its a lovely place, nice simple decor but still luxurious.
Our waitress was kind and attentive, but she was one of those people that put her smile on purely for the customers when she got near a table.... But i suppose thats the grind of daily work life and is the same with everyone in all jobs.
I am so going back! I need to try the venison and the salmon, oh no maybe the octopus....
But not for a while, cause its expensive!
