Grabbed a late night Wednesdate dinner at Luma last week.
It was 9pm and seating was abundant in both the dining and lounge area. Lighting in the dining area is extremely bright, which is what I usually prefer, but seeing as it was date night we opted for the more romantic feel of the corner booth in the lounge.
Starter:
Lamb Kabobs - Not the typical Mediterranean style kabobs that usually come to mind - these ones were intentionally charred, filled with spicy herbs, crumbly in texture, and leaning a bit too much on the dry side.
Mains:
Wild Sockeye Salmon - My second choice after looking at the menu, but a great choice none the less. My date selected my first choice of the braised rabbit gnocchi and naturally I had to select another dish - we can't both order the same main right? Salmon was cooked perfectly and delightfully paired with the side of butternut squash, brussel sprouts and beets.
Braised rabbit and Gnocchi -The rabbit was shredded and gnocchi was softly cooked in a creamy sauce. Good ratio of carbs to meat, really no complaints.
Dessert:
Luma Bar - A sensation of fudge, peanut butter ice cream, nuts and fruit - definitively share this to end off a great meal.
Overall:
Food: 9/10 for well made Canadian cuisine - would opt for a different starter next time.
Service: 10/10 , waitresses were friendly and had timely service.
Atmosphere: 10/10, Luma is located on the second level of the tiff light box with a view of king street west. Dining and Lounge seating available. Great vibe for a date or for groups.
