Celebrated 2 bdays during Happy Hour. Enjoyed small but tasty appetizers. Been here a couple times & our server Evan has been fantastic, every time. HH drinks were very tasty and pretty. Great outdoor patio. Tons of free parking. Great ambiance with nice lobby furniture & cozy fireplace. Love this place since their remodel.

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.

This review is long overdue but still worth sharing. As holiday travelers, we were so fortunate to discover Luminaria’s Christmas Day brunch, which exceeded our expectations in price, quality, service and portions. Highly recommend for next year! We had a lovely experience.

I had a wonderful dinner here on my last night in the LA area. The restaurant ambiance was wonderful at night (the reservation was for 7:00) and we were on the covered balcony where there was plenty of room and seating. The steak and fish was wonderfully cooked, they had unique drinks and we paid what I felt was fair price for the wonderful night out my partner and I had.

We haven’t been here for the longest. Probably more than 10 years. This is an awesome property. With ample parking and beautiful views. Top notch place for events. Very romantic if you’re on a date.
I was going to give the service 5 stars, but had to hold back because it took them more than 20 minutes to get out desserts. That was just to long.
Other than that, the food was good. We ordered the skirt steaks, ribeye, salmon and the 4 choices of meat grill.
I didn’t think they are open for lunch, but definitely nice place to show off to new friends.

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.

An Afternoon Above the City: Lunch at Luminarias
Some places don’t just serve food they pause time. Luminarias Restaurant is one of those places.
I had the privilege of spending lunch there with my team our entire group of shift managers hosted by our Regency Manager in a gesture that spoke volumes. Not just appreciation, but intention. The kind that says: you matter, your work matters, and today we slow down together.
From the moment you arrive, Luminarias announces itself without arrogance. Perched above the city, it offers sweeping views that feel cinematic Los Angeles stretched out below you like a living mural. The architecture alone is worth the visit: warm arches, elegant lines, and a sense of old-world Mexican grandeur that feels both timeless and welcoming. You don’t feel rushed here. You feel invited.
Then came the food and this is where “good” becomes an understatement.
Every plate that hit the table was intentional, beautifully presented, and deeply satisfying. Rich flavors, bold but balanced, clearly crafted by people who respect tradition while mastering execution. This wasn’t just lunch; it was an experience that demanded your full attention. Conversations slowed because bites required silence. That’s how you know the food is real.
But what made the afternoon unforgettable wasn’t just the cuisine or the view it was who I shared it with. Sitting with my fellow managers, breaking bread outside the pressure of shifts, metrics, and daily demands, reminded me why leadership matters. Why teams matter. Why moments like these are not luxuries, but necessities. Laughter flowed easily. Stories were exchanged. For a while, titles disappeared, and camaraderie took the lead.
Our Regency Manager didn’t just treat us to lunch he created space. Space to breathe, connect, and feel seen. And Luminarias was the perfect setting for that kind of moment.
I left full of incredible food, yes, but more than that, full of gratitude. Grateful for strong leadership, a solid team, and a place that understands how atmosphere, flavor, and human connection can come together seamlessly.
If you ever want to experience Los Angeles from a higher vantage point literally and figuratively Luminarias is not just a recommendation.
It’s a reminder of how good things can be when done right.

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.

We dined here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were very impressed with everything this restaurant had to offer! The food was masterfully put together. Flavor pairings and presentation were out of this world and tasted amazing. We caught the last bit of happy hour and tried some of the skillfully crafted cocktails. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the vibe of the seating area and the views from the perched patio. Our server Mariela was friendly, attentive to our needs, and took great care of us. A wonderful experience to celebrate a special occasion. Will certainly be coming back.
