What a gorgeous brunch experience! Came here with my wife and we were blown away by the view, the food, and the atmosphere. We sat outside on the patio — sunny, breezy, and relaxing — perfect for a weekend date. We started with the Peruvian Ceviche, which came beautifully plated with shrimp, cucumber, sweet potato, and a citrusy green sauce. Super refreshing and light, with a nice crunch from the crispy rice cracker on top. The Wedge Salad was another stunner — super fresh iceberg lettuce, creamy dressing, pickled onions, bacon, and beet purée. Bright and flavorful, with great texture and a pop of color. For mains, I had the Double Patty Smash Burger — juicy, well-seasoned, and stacked with cheddar, caramelized onions, and duck fat fries on the side. Honestly one of the best brunch burgers I’ve had in LA. To drink, we tried a strawberry-mint cocktail (forgot the name but served in a copper mug) — refreshing, not too sweet, and perfect for the warm weather. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out at a good pace. Vibes were great — music playing, but not too loud, and everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves. Highly recommend this spot for couples, brunch dates, or small celebrations. We’ll definitely be back to try the bottomless mimosas next time!

Very pretty place . It's a little hidden so check for the signs. They have different menus so everything isn't available all day- just heads up. Got the Beef Birria Empanadas- the sauce was delicious & saviory. Roasted Street corn was really yummy & flavorful. Duck fat fries were crispy & delicious. Crab cake Benedict was also really good with hit crispy potatoes & the Paid vacation drink was a nice bold grapefruit flavor. Server was super friendly & attentive. Prices are a little higher but portions are sharable & the quality it good. Lots of tables inside & outside patio overlooking the city - very cute. I would say dress nice (wouldn't recommend sweats & a baggy shirt).

Great restaurant with a terrific sunset view of East LA skyline!!! Parking was easy, and reservations made geeting our table very quick. Took my family here for Valentines celebration. There's not many options for kids, but we made it work. The fried oysters were OK 3/5, the crab cake was delicious, and we couldn't get enough of the duck fat fries. Dinner was, as expected, delicious and worth the price.

As newcomers to the area, we’ve been on the hunt for our favorite local spots, and Luminarias did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful aesthetic and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor dining area was especially nice, and despite the chilly January evening, the heaters kept us comfortable and allowed us to fully enjoy our meal. Speaking of the food—everything was absolutely delicious! We all finished our plates, which speaks volumes about how much we enjoyed it. The service was also exceptional; the staff was attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled promptly and ensuring we had everything we needed. We’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer to experience the outdoor dining in warmer weather. Overall, Luminarias is a fantastic spot, and we highly recommend it!

Early Evening Celebratory Birthday Dinner! Great atmosphere, pleasantly surprised with live Latin Jazz Ensemble. Food was pleasing to the palette, the desserts were not only visually stimulating, but, delicious. Lee, our server, was not only engaging, but, extremely personable, kind, and generous. His service and personality tied everything up nicely, for a great night out.

This restaurant provides space for both functional events and individual dining. It is located on the hill, with a clear view to the adjacent 710 freeway. We were seated near the bar. There's a lady behind us was apparently drunk. Her voice is loud and she cusses all the time. Unfortunately, we have to endure this while we're there . Anyway, we ordered from the "dine LA" menu. The food tastes good, and the portions are appropriate. Aside from the annoying person behind our table, we had a good dining experience here

The food was decent, but nothing stood out. Plus, there are no vegetarian options. The salads are basic. So, ordering sides to make a meal that comes out very pricy. The fries were perfect & crispy. Cocktails are good. The espresso martini was exceptional. The lava cake was delicious. The view of the San Gabriel mountains is great. Our server Evan made the evening even better with his sense of humor.

We really appreciated the portions, they’re not huge but definitely large enough, so good value overall. We were not super impressed with the flavors, the fish was fresh so no major complaints but nothing extraordinary. The service was not good, she had a little bit of an attitude but not terrible. The best thing was the chocolate dessert.

We visited Luminarias for the Sunday brunch. The brunch menu was kinda limited, in my opinion. Our server was great up until our food came out then he just disappeared. The presentation of the food was fantastic. The french fries were very tasty and so were the empanadas de birria. I had the chilaquiles and while the portion was very generous it locked on flavor. My son had the chicken and waffles. The restaurant itself was beautiful with views of the freeway (not the best view). Overall, not a place that I would drive an hour to go to again.

Food was great. Service not so great. Runners dropped off appetizers. Different servers did bring food out. Our server seemed stressed out covering such a large part of the floor. Floor manager along with GM didn't move around much till they needed to. Meal was good. Would have loved to try desserts. To get that menu took 12 min. For her to come back and ask what t we wanted from that menu was another 13. At that point we just wanted the bill. We couldn't find anyone to get it to us. Took several more minutes. At the end of the day I'd go back for the food. At some point. It service was horrible. Poor couple next to us sat down hadn't gotten a menu at least for 15 minutes we watched. Coordinate your service. Food is great. Good value for the money.

What a lovely romantic place to dine. Nice local special occasion restaurant. I was here for a fundraiser in a large banquet room. ALL 400 people got an 8 ounce steak (we didn't get a choice on the cook, mine was well done, but my plus one got a medium rare.) The green pesto chimichurri was good, mildly tangy/spicy. 4/5. The mashed potato was stiff and lukewarm 3/5...the veggies included a couple spears of asparagus all nicely cooked almost al dented 4/5. The dessert was a multilayered chocolate cake, it was thick n' chocolatey probably would make chocolate lovers smile. 4/5. Coffee provided at a coffee station,, but not served. Servers 5/5 were quick to clear plates, and kept things tidy and moving along. Although, I didn't have a dessert spoon, it was easy to ask for one and I received it quickly.

Very disappointment about our company event. We had an office party and the room and food were well below our expectations. We chose the location based on rave reviews, hoping to find a nice restaurant to share and celebrate with our employees at the end of the year. When we arrived, although the exterior looked nice and the staff were professional, the way our event was managed felt like a poorly run catering company with zero ambiance. We were seated in a conference-like room, next to a very loud dance party, making it difficult to hear each other. The room felt almost claustrophobic. The food was disappointing. The steak we were served was overcooked, chewy, and utterly unappetizing. Despite the restaurant's reputation, the presentation and quality were mediocre at best. We had been assured that we would get a nice menu with soft drinks, but what we received were cans of soda on the side table (Sprite, Coke, Diet Coke) and next to a pot of cold coffee. This was far below what we expected from a restaurant of this supposed level. The entire event was poorly managed, and a decision was made to prioritize profit over guest satisfaction. We paid top dollar for this experience, and it was very disappointing.

Wanted to take my gf out for a nice lunch for the 4th of July day. Food was great but be blatantly ignored by the staff beyond a few times was crazy. They went out of their way to not check on us. Guess I don't look like their normal clientele. And yes we seen them check up on all other tables so many times. We won't be back and that's probably how they want it too.
