"Whether dining in or at home, Lunetta’s Thanksgiving makes for an easy holiday. Turkey Day service runs from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a three-course dinner. Selections include Maine diver scallops with roasted maitake mushrooms and escargot butter, roasted butternut squash ravioli, rum pineapple candied yams, and cranberry apple sausage stuffing. The showstopper main is chef Raphael Lunetta’s maple herb turkey with aged Gouda potato gratin, but the pumpkin pie or the French apple pie is also impressive. If dining in, Lunetta’s Thanksgiving meal is $120 per person. For home dining, it’ll cost $130. Book via OpenTable or the Lunetta website." - Eater Staff
"A restaurant hosting a three-night bouillabaisse dinner inspired by Chef Raphael Lunetta’s time in southern France, featuring local seafood." - Mona Holmes
"Santa Monica’s Lunetta has three charming patios, a bar room with a fireplace, and a three-course Thanksgiving dinner for $120 per person. You can choose from a short list of starters, mains, and desserts that include roasted butternut squash ravioli, six-hour braised osso buco, and pumpkin pie with spiced mascarpone cream." - sylvio martins
"During daytime hours, Lunetta All Day serves breakfast sandwiches, fried chicken, and pancakes in a quiet inland neighborhood of Santa Monica. In the later hours, it evolves into an upscale dinner spot with hand-cut gnocchi, plus a petit shoulder filet with sweet corn confit, ancho chile sauce, and a cilantro herb gremolata. Whatever the meal at this longtime Santa Monica eatery, sit in the comfy corner with a fireplace and brown leather banquettes and enjoy." - Eater Staff
"Pico Blvd. in Santa Monica can be kind of weird place, but Lunetta All Day is a less-weird option. This (you guessed it) all-day spot has decent food, plus a relaxed space that serves as a great respite while rush hour traffic dies down outside. Happy Hour: 4-7pm Wed-Fri. $2 off signature cocktails, beer & wines by the glass, discounted menu items" - brant cox
