What People Are Saying About Luna Park

In Short
At night, the lofty space is an intimate, bohemian den with crimson-colored walls and candles on every dark-wood table. But heavy gold curtains and kitschy crystal chandeliers hanging from the rafters create a dramatic effect even in daylight. Helpful, unpretentious servers keep the Bay Area vibe alive while the menu spotlights simply prepared comfort cuisine with a creative edge. Smooth goat-cheese fondue with grilled bread and crisp green apples for dipping is wildly popular. A light, lemony vinaigrette spruces up the sweet and savory salad of spinach, dried currants and feta. For entrees, a crispy-fried pork cutlet stuffed with Gruyere cheese is satisfying and hearty, sided by a mound of mashed potatoes. The lighter fontina ravioli swims in a buttery sauce touched with truffle oil. Make-your-own s'mores, constructed out of homemade graham crackers, molten bittersweet chocolate and marshmallow, are a playful and satisfying way to end the meal.

I live a few blocks away so I end up at Luna Park a few times a month (it is a 5 minute walk). Most of the food is consistently good but a little overpriced. My favorite item on the menu is the tuna poke. Aviod the S'mores for dessert ... I've made better s'mores in my microwave.

Just bad food. OK place. Bad food. Cheap though. If it was this or pretty much any other place I would go there first.

So sad what has happened at Luna Park throughout the few years of its existence. They kept (keep) changing chefs, staff, managers, dishes, on a regular basis, until all the magic disappeared. The place apparently can still have a good atmosphere but the charm is gone - the delicious plates at great prices, and the full, chic crowd are a distant memory. Pizza and burgers? Really? Sandwiches and Salad Nicoise? Are you kidding? Sure the salad has been there from day one, but that should have been the first thing to go, not the fried trout or the truffle oil ravioli. There are so many places like the present Luna Park, I'm certainly not going out of my way to La Brea and Wilshire for a regular burger / boring fare, and over-priced drinks. Those are a dime a dozen in LA. "Sorry Luna Park, you had it once and I loved you so much that I gave you try after try during change after change - and now you're just another joint. Special no more. Good luck with your future endeavors."

The Details on Luna Park

What to Drink:

The signature mojito is just sweet enough with real muddled mint and fresh lime. The wine list has reasonably priced selections from California to Italy.

Where to Sit:

There are cozy booths with curtains for intimate dinners. Larger booths along the back wall offer the best view of the room.

Know Before You Go:

Don't miss lunch specials like barbecued baby back ribs on Wednesdays, and fried chicken on Thursdays.

Parking:

During the day, $4.50 valet is the best option. At night, street parking is free after 7pm.
