    We visited Café Lunette for brunch as a party of three. The atmosphere is charming, and both the food and drinks were enjoyable in terms of taste. However, the temperature of the food was not ideal—it was served cooler than expected for hot dishes. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. It was quite slow, and our server was not attentive. He did not check in with us during the meal, and we eventually had to ask another staff member to help locate him so we could request our bills. There were multiple errors on the bills, which had to be reprinted three times. By the time we were finally able to pay, we were feeling frustrated. The manager did come by to apologize and offered us a complimentary dessert or coffee, which we appreciated. However, after two hours, with our meal long finished and the bill already paid, the gesture felt a bit too late. Overall, while the food and ambiance were nice, the service experience made it unlikely that we would return.

    Lovely restaurant we live going there Our Food was great, the server was very attentive, the only problem was we waited 30 minutes for an apple juice & a cappuccino, drinks came just as the food came which was frustrating

    Brunch was excellent. I had the Lunette Special, one of my favourite brunch items- the pork belly was delicious. Lots of allergies and food preferences at our table and everyone was easily accommodated. Service was top notch. Will be back again soon!
