Nice ambiance in a cozy setting - the restaurant is a converted home. The food was good but not great. They have an extensive wine list and they will allow you to bring a bottle of your own (if they don't carry it on their menu) for a corkage fee. My wife and I both started with salads - they...

The food is beautifully presented, the atmosphere is cozy, upscale, hard to describe, but very nice. Service is outstanding. We go often because there are few places that can compete for their prices and atmosphere.

Restaurant within walking distance of Blu Lantern Inn. Ambiance is delightful as it is a converted home. The food is very good and fairly priced. Try It!

What I liked the most about the place was the setting. It is done with a lot of taste reminding of an old and classy European restaurant. The food was good but not spectacular. Prices are also decent. A place to get back to for sure

We recently had dinner for 14 at Luciana's in Dana Point. Although we didn't have the private cellar, we were given a great space in the library.
Our server, Kelly, was terrific. Although it was a busy night and the restaurant was packed, the service and food were terrific. We ordered a number of different dishes, many with special requests...
