We arrived early for our reservation and had a cocktail at the bar, Magic Hours was a nice surprise! Drinks were excellent, bartender was a Manchester gem. Seated, and offered another happy hour priced cocktail, and then the service got bad. We ordered from the Winterlicious menu and enjoyed every single thing that came to the table, but food came out at different times and we had to flag the waiter more than once (so awkward) to get their attention. Will return because the food and atmosphere was 100%.

We were there for Winterlicious. The food was incredibly tasty. I ordered the mushroom soup for starter, braised beef shortrib and it was fall off the bone soft. Apple pie made fresh for sessert. The service was also great. Will go back there again and highly recommended.

Came here for winterlicious 2025 - was here before a while ago; consistent food quality and fresh ingredients; i very much enjoyed the lamb croquettes and beet salad - the beets tasted SO fresh and the sauce had a hint of mint which further accented the freshness. Beef short rib was ok, a bit dry to my liking and sauce too sweet for my personal preference, but overall still decent. I picked the apple pie for dessert and again, thought it was ok - i liked the apples were thinly sliced so it has a better texture and the pastry was flaky, almost like a croissant. I felt there was something missing in the apple pie that made it taste more “store bought” rather than “homemade” but I cant quite put my finger to what that element is. The o&b carrot cake though is always a solid choice and always delivers (i should have stuck w that tbh!). Ambiance is great here, as expected with its dt location. Overall consistent food quality and great atmosphere, but likely you have other options at this price point esp with their a la carte menu.

To start we had the Luma Parmesan Fries. They were too salty but overall still very tasty. The Beef Tartare and the Scallop Ceviche were fresh and flavourful. The Cesar Salad was enjoyable and the white anchovies were a nice touch. An entrée that stood out for me was the Roasted Pork Belly. The different textures and flavours were complementary to one another. The herbed farro risotto made every bite so satisfying. The Truffle Mushroom Rigatoni was also a favourite amongst the table. The Chocolate Mousse Cake is a great choice for chocolate lovers. Not too sweet but very decadent. Having it accompanied with a cappuccino on the side was exquisite. The assortment of cocktails were delightful. Love the names. The table was thoroughly impressed by the presentation for The Queen of the South cocktail. Not only was the ambience and setting superb, the staff were also very friendly, attentive and courteous. The second floor patio overlooking King St West with a perfect view of the CN Tower was a charming touch. This is random but the hand soap in the bathroom was so pleasant. The small details are what make a restaurant enjoyable. You can tell by the attention to detail how much care and thought has been put into this establishment. One of my new favorite spots in Toronto.

Luma delivers amazing food and attentive service. Highly recommend the truffle mushroom rigatoni! It was so rich and creamy. Also, the Scallops ceviche was a crowd pleaser. It was super fresh, and the presentation was cute.

Went around 2pm and it was super empty in the restaurant side (late lunch so we were very hungry)- yet we still got our mains 1 hour after 😭 the carbonara was surprisingly not that tasty, i would not get it again. Service was also pretty bland. I would recommend the fritters

Hidden gem on the second floor of the Lightbox. Food was superb & TIFF was just beginning so very busy around the building. Views are also a plus dining here. There is also an outside patio if you're after alfresco dining.

Went here around 530pm, it was fairly empty. This was my first time here. The staff was attentive and friendly. I ordered the ceviche and one wine from their happy hour selection ($1 less expensive). The ceviche was small; like 5 bites small (don't let the pic fool you; the shell it's served on is almost fkat). It was delicious, but for $28 it should be bigger. Sorry but will opt for a bit more food for the sake price elsewhere.
