Luna Park - Los Angeles

We kicked off our meal with some fantastic drinks – the fresh strawberry mojito and a Dr. Pepper mixed with vanilla vodka were both incredibly tasty, much to my surprise. Now I find myself embracing both the senior dining experience and the Spring Break drinker persona, which I’m a bit embarrassed about. For appetizers, the grilled artichoke came with a delightful lemon sauce, and the small Bibb salad and radish salad were perfectly light and delicate. We also ordered the special trout, which was a generous portion, served with fried non-fat potatoes and roasted tomatoes. The only downside was the signature dish; the mac and cheese was good, but not outstanding. I typically don’t like peanut butter except in sandwiches, while my partner will eat it with anything. However, we tried the peanut butter cake, and it was AMAZING! It was light yet packed with intense flavor. I definitely want more!

**Appetizers:** The tuna poke was absolutely delicious, featuring fresh sushi-grade tuna, tomatoes, and onions marinated in soy sauce, served with crispy wontons. The goat cheese fondue was decent; it came in a small smoker with thinly sliced apples and an excessive amount of roasted bread. While I enjoy feta with apples, this cheese was less salty and ended up tasting a bit bland. The carrot soup, on the other hand, had a flavor profile that leaned more towards tomatoes, with only a hint of carrot. It definitely needed a bit more zest. **Main Courses:** The flat iron steak salad was tender and juicy, complemented by lovely mixed greens. The grilled salmon served over spaghetti Aglio e Olio and watercress was lovely, although the dish could have benefited from spinach instead of pasta for one of my friends who avoids carbs. **Dessert:** The Meyer Lemon dessert featured a thin layer of chocolate that was unnecessary; it was extremely tart and came with a bittersweet chocolate sauce. Personally, I found the combination of bitter chocolate and tart citrus unappealing. However, the fried apple cake with caramel ice cream was absolutely delicious.

The crabcakes were overly salty, and the potatoes were too rich with butter. The food was just average, but the atmosphere was enjoyable. I heard that the s'mores are...

It’s good but not spectacular. halloween is fun because a lot of people come in costume.

Their menu selection isn’t that big, but definitely get the mac and cheese dish. Everyone was eating off of my dish instead of theirs b/c it’s that good. Overall, it’s just ok.
