Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Westwood

I always love Lunetta. This particular night, a pair of people in the corner (indoors) was playing their phone on speaker and it was tinny and annoying but when we asked, they stopped. The 4 top next to us, celebrating a retirement, were having the kind of good time that can, with small distance between tables, distract us from our conversation. It ended up being OK, I actually had a fun conversation with them and we have some friends in common. But they did have pretty big voices and it was a little hard for us to hear each other, in fact my guest had to change seats so she could hear me better. Nevertheless Lunetta is my go-to for friends, family and others I like to impress.

When we first walked in I was taken aback by how sophisticated and enchanting everything was. The server and waiters are very polite and help to liven the experience. Me and my partner both order the Lawry cut with creamed corn and creamed spinach and a shrimp cocktail to share. The spinning salad was a really nice touch and made it felt more personal with the engagement from staff. The drinks were fantastic. I ordered the raspberry lemon drop and my partner got the highland park scotch 12 year and the Mccallan 12 year scotch and they were all fantastic. The meat was cut table-side and it was excellent we both ordered ours medium rare but got a little rarer then that. The shrimp cocktail was delicious. The shrimp weren't overcooked and tough and the sauce was way out, better then any cocktail sauce Ive had. They had festive decorations and Carolers going around singing. Overall the experience was fantastic and perfect for our anniversary. Would recommend to people who want a really nice night out. It is on the pricier side but between the food and the experience, its worth it.

Everything was great except the dessert. Pass on the sundae. Not worth it. And the Mexican chocolate ice cream is a loser. Basically all the flavors are vanilla with only a hint of horchata or cocoa. But otherwise we had a nice meal.

My boyfriend and I came for a holiday Christmas treat! We came to experience the winter wonderland of the Swiss Alps chalet. It was a beautiful setting with large bench seats with fur coverings and multiple snowflake pillows as well as darling Christmas decorations hung inside with large pinecones and winter snow flocked trees. They had the champagne sled and we had a three course dinner of butternut squash soup, a goat cheese and beet winter salad, as well as the fish and duck with a beautiful chocolate mousse dessert. We started the evening with the incredible cheese fondue. It was a wonderful and magical Christmas evening. We will be back next year! Happy Holidays!

Always 5 stars! Food is lovely , service is stellar and environment is so welcoming!
