Lume Kitchen and Lounge in Etobicoke

The food was AMAZING! We tasted most of the menu. All of it was exceptional. The only downside for the experience was that the restaurant was slightly understaffed, which led to longer wait times for food and drinks. Our server was great, considering. We will definitely be back!

It was my first time visiting Lume! It was for one of my very close s friend s birthday - she had invited over 30 people & the staff were BEYOND phenomenal in accommodating & making my friend s birthday amazing!!! My very good friend was able to bring her own decorations and desserts, and the server checked in on everyone so much! Due to the customer service, I would 100% recommend this lovely establishment to everyone else! Thanks Lume!

Thank you to the team of Lume who made my birthday event recently an incredible success and one to remember! It was my first time hosting an event at this location and from the beginning of time when I first inquired, to planning and confirming the details, down to the night of event and execution, I was very impressed with the professionalism, service, and accommodations for me and my guests of 30+ people. The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was so warm and inviting. I definitely will be back! Thank you!

We are thrilled we chose Lume to host the engagement of our daughter and her fiancé. Gimena was the hostess for our party. She was extremely friendly, personable and engaging. In fact, we came once before to try the food and she was our waitress. She remembered us, and details about our earlier visit. Gimena went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of throughout, from helping us set up and making sure all of our guests were taken care of while we waited, right through to the end. The food was wonderful, just as we remembered from our earlier visit. They were very helpful while we planned, with our endless questions from food allergy concerns to cultural requests. Most of our guests were not from downtown, so the ample free parking is important to us, too. Highly recommended.

Had the most wonderful dining experience at Lume! The food was delicious, excellent portions and the service - specifically our server Gemina was an absolute delight!

Went on taco tuesday. I ordered tacos and more. Staff not familiar with menu items. I was given different cut of steak without prior notice. For a not busy night, staff were not around much after mains were served. Parking: Not too many ground level/outdoor parking spots as this complex has other retailers too. Underground parking garage seemed to have ample spaces on a tuesday

Gem in mimico. Lived right next door when they were building it and was excited when they finally opened. They did not disappoint. Interior, vibe, food, drinks and service are all great. Definitely suggest coming for happy hr 2-5 mon-Thurs. Some great options.

First time visiting, right off the bat the atmosphere is beautiful, high ceilings and modern decor is beautiful. We were seated and provided water, however it took a really long time to place our coffee order, almost half an hour. There was only 1 server working. Once the orders were placed it was great, the food was really tasty! But we ordered a plate of the butter milk pancakes and it never came. We finished our food and brought it up, we let them know to just cancel it but they brought it out anyway and compensated the cost. We appreciated that and we would definitely give it another chance.

Christian, whos been working here for one week, provided excellent attentiveness and helpful service. He is warm, friendly, a good communicator and listener, was attentive to my dietary restrictions, very responsive and prompt - it was a pleasure to have you as our waiter! The food is delicious with high quality ingredients and large portions I love the decor and high ceilings. Dietary restrictions: The kitchen makes everything fresh

Lobster benedict and pancakes were great

Had a great dinner here - the cocktails were creative and the food was delicious! We had the branzino and lamb shank - would highly recommend! The service was great and the waitress had thoughtful recommendations. We will definitely be back!

We hosted a bridal shower at Lume and every step of the way was a pleasure. Rana who assisted us with planning was, Gio who was our server and took great care of everyone s needs, and Luigi who made sure the event was smooth. We were able to bring our own decor (even though the place is already beautiful) and dessert and customize many elements of the event. Highly recommend!

We had our son s baptism dinner here and we are so glad we picked LUME! From planning to the night of our event was easy and stress free! The food was amazing - everyone loved it! The drinks were all delicious- the bartender knows his stuff! Now to top it off the service was top notch, you do not find this kind of atmosphere often and the whole crew was excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant and can t wait to go back to try more of their dishes!!!

My partner and I held an engagement luncheon with our family this past weekend at Lume and had a lovely experience! The process to plan the lunch was flawless, starting with our initial emails (everyone was very responsive and cooperative), to trying the food, customizing the menu to suit our tastes and accommodate allergies and then finally the day of. The staff were so welcoming and made us feel very special. Not to be ignored - our family cannot stop raving about how much they enjoyed the food! I would recommend anyone hold their events at Lume and we will certainly be back.

This is one of the most impressive restaurant & lounge, from the moment you enter you ll be blown away by how beautiful this place is along with the 5 star treatment you receive. The quality of food is just phenomenal, the ambiance is simply incredible! Being a local resident of the Parklawn Community I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an impressive night out! I can t wait for my next visit soon

Hosted a work event here and it was just absolutely stunning. The ambience, food/drinks and services are top notch. Thank you to the whole team but especially Rana (Manager, Events and Promotion). The absolute sweetest and most accommodating hostess ever! Her response time is always amazing. Would highly recommend!

Walked in on a Friday night and it wasn t worth it. There s nothing lounge -y about it. Lots of family with children. And the food is way better next door at Chiang Mai. I wouldn t try again.

Had such an amazing experience celebrating my birthday. The food, the service, the ambiance and of course our amazing server Rana !! 10/10

I had the pleasure of hosting my cousins surprise birthday brunch at LUME. Rana was such a great help and awesome person to work with in creating a great experience. Everyone enjoyed the set menu that was provided and how attentive the host and staff were especially it being a large party. If you are looking for a great experience with great food and staff, LUME will give you that and more!!!!!!

Don t make an RSVP on the phone without getting the persons name!!! Don t forget because this irresponsible restaurant won t accept the blame when one of their untrained staff member doesn t know their food schedules and hours of the restaurant. Instead of apologizing they were very quick to turn the blame on ME the customer saying I shouldv e gotten her name. Why would I get the staff members name? YOU get MY name! And they didn t even check to see my RSVP or who booked it! Just quick to blame a customer that has never being to the restaurant before nor will ever go. YOUR loss. Horrible hospitality!

Food is outstanding and the service is wonderful

OMG - went last Saturday for this amazing restaurant LUME for the first time....and let me say WOW WOW WOW....the food was to die for and the staff was amazing RANA our waitress was so helpful and the owner himself made sure my friend 50th birthday party there with the music was fabulous......check them out! WOW WOW WOW

Great vibe and attentive staff! Warm olives were different and delicious Atlantic Salmon was cooked well but had a stale taste towards the end and the potatoes were half cooked! Food : 2/5

Lume kitchen and Lounge did not disappoint! From the first meeting, to the night of the party itself- Luigi and Rana delivered! My Fiancé and I were looking for an outdoor patio space to host our engagement party of 80 guests. We came across Lume through a friend of a friend and were glad we did. The food was incredible, hands down some of the best cuisine in the city- service was immaculate, and our guests were very impressed. They did everything they could to make our event special. Would highly recommend for any private event or even just for some casual drinks/food. Again, thank you go much to the entire lume staff, but a special thanks to Luigi and Rana Kimia & Jamie 2024

Celebrated my b-day with friends yesterday. It s a nice restaurant with beautiful patio, fancy interior and bar, and great service. Drinks are good here, food is ok. Oysters were fine, but I had better.. they didn t have horseradish. My friend really liked lamp shank and mushroom bruschetta, lobster dip was ok. Whole lobster wasn t bad, a little bit hewy.. I had better. According to another friend, burger was bad, meat tasted like it was bought frozen from no frills. Might return here for drinks or try something else from their menu.

My best friend had her bridal shower here today. Rana was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process and was amazing the day of! Service, drinks, food and atmosphere were all amazing. Even though the kitchen made 80+ plates, all the food was hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend dining/hosting events at Lume!

Loved the atmosphere and food. However, service was not great - waitresses were unprofessional and disrespectful. When I respectfully asked for the drink menu at the bar by saying can I order some drink here please , the waitress responded with what? , then after I repeated my question, she said will send a server to your table then walked away. Also asked for the oysters and appetizers to come first because we were in a rush. The waitress agreed but everything came together after waiting for 30-40 minutes (understandable because there was a big group arrived before our group), and had to rush our dinner and finished within 15 minutes. It s reasonable to expect something better than this if we spent more than $60 per person for the night.

We ended having a nice experience in this restaurant in our first night in Toronto, after a long day visiting around. Thank you to our attentive and kind server Arezo and the DJ Leopoldo. We even had a moment to dance.They gave us a nice welcoming night and Arezo made sure we were comfortable. She was so nice with my mother in my moms first day in the city. Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options

I had my Baby Shower here! First of all, the booking and organization of the event was very thoughtful and open both to changes and to dietary restrictions. And ultimately was pulled off perfectly. The space is beautiful on its own, but they also rearranged it to accommodate my group. The service; very helpful and kind and unobtrusive. We never felt rushed, or unattended to. The food: so fresh, so flavourful, so prettily plated. The kitchen absolutely knows what they are doing. It was a very special day for me and the Lume staff made it stressless and enjoyable. Thank you so very much!! Dietary restrictions: Accommodated for dairy and gluten allergies with ease Parking: Easy to find and free parking is so welcome in the city!! Kid-friendliness: Children were welcome, and separate meals were provided for them as well as were treated sweetly

The food was so great! They had a lobster fest and it was amazing. KC was so kind and patient. She hooked up the lobster menu before the scheduled time knowing we came from so far!!!! She went above and beyond! The ambiance is so nice, try to take advantage of their gorgeous patio before it gets cold.

Great experience and amazing service!

Good food Good prices Great atmosphere Our server Rana was out of this world. 10/10 across the board. Definitely future serving manager. Needs a raise

We had a great time at brunch on the patio, beautiful experience. I had the Lobster Benedict which was quite good. Kaleb gave amazing service, very friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back for dinner! :)

Quiet place and very tasty food. Ranas service and recommendations were excellent. Totally recommend it.

Food quality is generally good but can be variable.

Cute place with good food that will not break the bank. Even though the staff was super friendly, service was quite slow for a day that was not crowded. Besides that, we have a great time. Food

Came here on a Sunday evening. Ordered the following: 1) LFC - fried chicken appetizer. This was pretty good! It was basically like crispy, boneless chicken wings in medium sauce. 2) Caesar Salad - this was fairly decent. 3) Slow Braised Lamb Shank - which was Very good. I highly recommend this dish. The atmosphere was great and would also be a nice date spot.

Lumes Summerlicious event was a delightful experience. The seasonal menu was brilliantly curated, showcasing fresh, vibrant flavors that captured the essence of summer. Each dish was a perfect blend of creativity and taste, served in a beautiful, welcoming ambiance. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!

We came here for summerlicious and absolutely loved the experience! They had a relaxing patio space that s perfect for enjoying the summer weather. We all loved the vea chop. Tender and flavorful. Unfortunately they ran out of the soup but the rest of the starters were all great. Will come back for brunch next time!

Came at 6:40 on a Saturday for dinner. Sat down, waited 20 minutes and a server did not even approach us with water. I understand a restaurant being busy, but we did not even see a server on the patio the entire time we were there. With $20 cocktails and $30-60 main courses, I d expect much better service. Very unfortunate experience.

Customer service was atrocious We went to Lume last night. Hostess was wonderful, greeted us immediately and sat us on the patio as we requested. The restaurant was fairly empty, nobody sitting inside and a handful of tables occupied outside. We sat there for 20 minutes. Not a single server acknowledged our existence. We watched as a male server made trip after trip serving a group of women celebrating a birthday. Never once even looked in our direction so we got up and walked to our usual spot La Vecchia. They sat us immediately, filled our water, took our drink orders and delivered them within 3 minutes of being sat down.

Bright airy space, delicious food, lovely service! Kid-friendliness: Staff were kind to my 10yo kid! Food : 5/5 |

Delicious!!!

Great atmosphere, food and service! Vegetarian options: Portobello hand held sandwich Food : 5/5 |

Rez is the best server weve had in our lives. So much fun, had the most attentive service and was overall such a phenomenal person. We will be coming back 100%.

Service: Rez is Whole Entire Vibe, if you re lucky enough to get her tending your table you will be in for a great night Atmosphere: Mexico Chic Food: On Point Stars: Can I give more than 5? Why not!? Dietary restrictions: Great with dietary options Let the Server know

Food was delicious and well presented. Service was professional, many thanks Rez. Latin DJ played great music that made us feel like we were in Miami.

I have become a regular at Lume. Luigi is always very welcoming and Rez usually takes care of me with her impeccable service. I highly reccomend the Baked Oysters as they have been the highlight of the meals we have had! Chef is phenomenal.

It was my first time going to Lume, and everything was fantastic! The food was delicious, the homemade habanero sauce was super tasty, and the service was amazing. Rez was super friendly, attentive, and helpful when picking out dishes. And I cant forget the Creme Brule - delicious! Definitely going to go back! Vegetarian options: There are some great vegetarian options that can also be made vegan. Im going to try the cauliflower steak with Tempeh next time! Dietary restrictions: There are gluten-free options, and some dishes can be made without certain ingredients to help with dietary restrictions.

I ve been wanting to try this restaurant in my area for awhile, and I m so glad I finally came! Made a reservation for my friends birthday, and we had such a great experience. We got seated in the cabana where we ordered drinks, oysters, cubana sandwiches, and cauliflower steaks. The food was amazing, and the service by our waiter was superb. Will definitely be back, thank you.

The food tasted great. The interior and patio was very nice. We went around 6 and had to leave for a show around 730. We decided to eat and have a few drinks at the bar. We sat there for about 10-15 mins without even being acknowledge by the bartender so we asked the hostess for a table. I definitely didnt feel welcomed after that. Bartender looked miserable. Would I go back? Probably not, even tho the food was top notch. Just the vibe I got from the bartender was not very welcoming. I overheard other customers not even getting their food as I left. The service was mediocre.

Absolutely fantastic facility

Stepping into Lume promised a culinary experience that one hopes would be worth both the wait and the expense. Unfortunately, what unfolded was a far cry from the expectations set by its sleek decor and trendy ambiance. The first hint of trouble came with the service or rather, the lack thereof. After being seated, it took an agonizing 20 minutes before our drinks finally arrived. Even then, the experience was marred by a startling oversight: one of our glasses arrived with visible dirt on the rim. When brought to the attention of our server, it took another 20 minutes to receive a replacement, an alarming delay for something so basic. To add insult to injury, the drink, which came from a can, was diluted to a shadow of its original flavor due to an excessive amount of ice. The remaining contents of the can were inexplicably withheld, leaving us to wonder if we were paying for a drink or an elaborate game of hide-and-seek. The food, sadly, did little to redeem the evening. The fried chicken appetizer (L.F.C), a dish that should be a comforting staple, was perplexingly sweet with an off-putting aftertaste that left much to be desired. It was as if the chef was experimenting with a new recipe that missed the mark entirely. Worse still, the portions were small, especially given the hefty price tag attached to them. The waitstaff, though polite, seemed ill-prepared and overwhelmed, fumbling through basic tasks and unable to provide knowledgeable recommendations or even basic answers to questions about the menu. Their lack of training was glaringly apparent and only added to the mounting frustrations. Even a trip to the restroom provided no respite, as we were greeted by empty paper towel dispensers a small yet significant oversight that spoke volumes about the restaurants attention to detail. In conclusion, Lume might have all the makings of a popular spot on the surface, but beneath the veneer lies a series of missteps that turn what should be an enjoyable night out into a frustrating ordeal. With so many other dining options available, it s hard to justify a return visit. For now, it remains a place best left off your reservation list.

A wonderful experience filled with fantastic food and great service! Kaleb was very kind, helpful and personable. Thank you!

I recently visited Lume with my partner and had a wonderful experience. The service was top-notch, despite the restaurant being busy, Rana was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The food and drinks were exceptional, with the mojito and spicy margaritas standing out. However, the highlight of the meal was the lobster ravioli. It was the best pasta I ve ever had, with a truly amazing sauce. This dish deserves a permanent spot on the menu; it s simply too good to be seasonal.

Another amazing night at Lume! Always and only have my girls nights here with childhood besties. Food 10/10, service 10/10, and always being checked on by the management and staff to make sure we re happy. Also, the lobster menu is amazing! Nothing but the best memories, food and vibes here. Thank you!!

Kaleb is so caring and friendly. Definitely enjoyed our time there! Food was awesome!!

Truly 5 deserves the stars. I was reluctant to try the octopus because I thought it would be rubbery, but the chef got it perfect! My lamb shank was the most delicious I have had in a very long time. Packed with flavor. It was a terrific experience. However, parking is horrible, but its free.

Planned a dinner with my friends, service was exceptional and the food was great. The atmosphere is amazing and vibrant. We were served by Rana, she was super sweet and was able to make great suggestions and recommendations even though we had some dietary restrictions! Overall great spot, lively and vibrant if you want a fun night out with friends. Would return and recommend!

This place has a 5 star presentation and decor. Rana our server was friendly with a warm smile and gave us outstanding service. The food was very good, particularly the half chicken entree. The only disappointment was the over cooked/dry chicken on the ceasar salad.

Horrible experience for brunch on a Saturday morning. Take out doesnt come with any utensils or napkins. We only have 1 hour for lunch this day due to an appointment but we waited 50 min and food didnt come so we got it to go. We sat down at 10:40am and ordered brunch for my husband, my son and I. Avocado toast, pancakes and fried chicken. Waited until 11:30am and didnt get any food so we asked for our food to go as we had to leave by 11:40am. Toddler was super upset. We had the food a few hours later but it didnt come with any utensils or napkins so we had to eat it with our hands. If youre in a rush and have only 1 hour for lunch this is the not the place the go. This experience ruined our entire Saturday as we didnt have time to eat until a few hours later. Time is valuable. I will not be coming back here again.

Food was good, a bit pricy. Service was great, but they were missing some staff. The food cam a bit late and was missing a plate. Not so bad since we were ready to leave. We were there for a bday dinner.

The worst service ever no take out cutlery .. food was burned extremely disappointing

The food and service were extremely disappointing. The salad was tasteless and overly salty, while the roasted potatoes had an unappetizing appearance.

Hands Down!!! one of the best places in Toronto Highly recommend all ages and appetites Food

Had a great dinner at The Lume, Rana our waitress did a fantastic job at making sure we were satisfied. Will definitely be coming back again.

Came to Lume before going to Cirque du Soleil. Nice spot but slow service. We all shared a bunch of appetizers and then I got a salad which took very long to get it was good though. I might go back when I am not in a rush and try more things.

Good vibes, cute patio and great food

We went here to dinner today.We sat outside as it was a lovely evening with a Breeze. Our servers were friendly and welcoming. My mocktail was a bit disappointing as it was very sour,but then they fixed it for me. We just had the main course as we had our little grandchild with us and it was his first time out to a restaurant and we didnt know how it would go. The spicy burger and the fries were very good,as was the Branzino. The Sacchetti was outstanding.

Special thank you to the Chef who went above and beyond. I have celiac disease and while the waitress was not knowledgeable on this (I felt this was the case), I asked several times if my food would be subject to any cross contamination. She said a few times it should be fine until I spoke with the chef who informed me that my order would not be celiac safe and proceeded make me my own. Good food great service from him. Definitely would be good if waiters/waitresses were familiar with this as it wasn t reassuring to know that if I listened I would have suffered but overall a good experience with the chef and he is the reason for my five star review!

We sat on the outdoor patio and it was great. They allow pets on the patio which was a must of us since we were traveling with our dog. The staff was very friendly and impressing, the first thing she brought out was a water bowl for the pup. The food was excellent and the ambience perfect.

I used to come here all the time and service and food was always pretty good. It has gone completely down hill, I actually walked out last time because giving it a 3rd try after a couple disappointing try s I thought I d try again. After sitting for 5 mins with the bartender available, they took my drink order, the. Spent time on their phone, then took someone s coffee order, and started making that first. I walked out and will never be back. The owners and chef should be on their employees to be better because it s has become a very establishment over the last 6 months.

Ate brunch here today. Party of 7. Place was busy but not packed. Reservation was easy to make (and change) online. Was seated quickly. Service was a little slow, but they apologized for it. Food was great, value was excellent. We had Late Riser x 2, the gochujang chicken (delicious, maybe could use some carbs), avocado toast (pictured below) and ham and Gruyère omelette. Parking: Few spots above ground, seemed like plenty of free retail parking below ground

Beautiful, chic restaurant. Great service by Caleb and staff. I ve been there for both brunch and dinner, great menu selections. We were a party of six and everyone thought the food was delicious and authentic. Good vibe and atmosphere. You won t be disappointed!

Whether youre enjoying a gourmet tasting menu at a fine dining restaurant or savoring a comforting dish at a cozy neighborhood bistro, great tasting food transcends mere sustenance it nourishes the soul and creates moments of joy and connection around the table. Beyond taste alone, great food is often part of a broader dining experience that includes ambiance, service, and overall atmosphere. A memorable meal leaves diners feeling satisfied, delighted, and eager to return. Really enjoyed celebrating my birthday here as a surprise our server was wonderful and very on point checking on our group, everyone was very impressed!

Nice vibe and cozy mood

Great food. Had the portobello avocado sandwich. Lots of flavour. Came with well seasoned fries.

Loved the food and the vibe of this place.

Had an amazing experience this evening. Food, ambiance and service was top notch. Rana s service was impeccable - thanks Lume!

Absolutely delicious! It was Tequila and taco Tuesday when we went so we ordered a few tacos from the featured menu and wow were they delicious! We started off with guacamole and chips and truffle fries and both were amazing! I had one of the Pescado, Shrimp Diavola and Birria tacos! Highly recommend them all! We then had the street corn! Followed by Churros and key lime pie to share! Also the cocktails were amazing! I highly recommend the Easy Morning- I don t usually like tequila but this was bang on 10/10 and service was amazing, one of the chefs came out to check on us and everything! I will be going back as soon as possible

Great service by Rana. Food was excellent. Beautiful atmosphere. Dj playing during dinner which is awesome if looking for that vibe. Dont think my friends and I are the demographic...prefer quiet dinner music. Patio is beautiful as well with comfy looking chairs. Suggest reservations as the place was full on a Friday night.

Had an excellent brunch here with our family Party of 6! Great service and everyone loved their meals. This is a hidden gem and we can t wait to go back! Parking behind the restaurant and reasonably priced menu. Don t sleep on this place-just go!

Absolutely fantastic! We ate the appetizers and loved the octopus and the Brussel sprouts. Cannot wait to go back!! Dietary restrictions: Pre diabetic options galore!

Food & service is top notch. Great bright shiny place with kind of not very loud, but loud music at the background. It has nice patio as well. I tried a few dishes and loved Starter: the Chilled (not warm) potato & leek soup, the Main: the Veal chops are superb and soon will be added to the main menu as the chef said, and the desserts are all relatively good. The only reason one star less than 5 is that the menu is more on the pricy side.

Good atmosphere and food. We really enjoyed it.

We were sat and left alone for 30 minutes without any server asking for drinks or taking an order, while people seated after us were attended to and had their orders taken, the restaurant wasnt very busy and staff were available. Nice atmosphere though.

Waited almost 30 minutes with no service. no drink order, nothing. the table sat after us was greeted and orders taken, then the waitress disappeared again, so we left.

The service here is fantastic. It was a first visit for us tonight, and even though there were a few unfortunate mishaps throughout the evening, the staff handled it with grace and great attitude! A special thanks to our server Andrea, also the manager (i wasnt able to catch her name)... and honestly, all of the other ladies who worked together to make our experience wonderful. *Oh, and order the burrata & prosciutto! Trust me*

Great food and music! Love the vibe if you don t want to trek it to downtown Toronto! Will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, great service

Great service fantastic atmosphere 10 stars

Dont believe any bad reviews about this place, this place is amazing. Its a community spot and neighborhood hip and happening. Its a vibe, good music, social, upbeat and modern. If youre looking for a quiet boring place for dinner, sure go somewhere else. If youre looking for a good night, fun, vibrant spot, this is it. Thank you lume for bringing life to the community!

Had a fantastic experience. We loved the food and drinks. Sally was our waitress and she was so kind and made the experience phenomenal! Highly recommend checking out the beautiful patio with comfortable seating and great lighting!

All I got walking in here, was a vibe that said pretentious. Had reservations for my wifes b-day... they said it would be 10 minutes, no big deal. Waited 10 minutes for a table that had been open the entire time. Sat down and the only napkins we were given were cocktail napkins... had to ask for real ones while it seemed like most people already had theirs. The music: omg. Was loud house music for a small establishment. Im not at a club, Im at an overpriced restaurant that Id like to be able to hold a conversation without having to yell. Food and service: started off great. The cocktails were really good. The Moroccan octopus was perfectly cooked and tasted great. My wife ordered a pasta and I ordered the lamb shank. She received her food and mine got lost in the mail... Im assuming it was the manager who came over and apologized to me and offered me a free pasta while I waited, which I accepted and never recieved. Eventually my lamb came, it was very underwhelming. Absolutely lacked any seasoning. Was perfectly cooked, just almost flavorless. The mashed cauliflower was amazing though, tasted like real potatoes. Dont recommend using the bathrooms either because they are all black. Toilets included, so every drop of pee is clearly visible on the seats and the floor. So gross. Eventually got my check for $153... no discount or anything for any of the mess ups. Was at this point so done with the place that I didnt bother with it and just paid and left. Thanks for a great birthday dinner for my wife. Im not usually so critical, but come on. Honestly, take a pass on this place. Its overpriced for what you get and experience.

My go to place for brunch, dinner, drinks, and everything in between! Highly recommend

Came to Lume for a girls night dinner. It exceeded our expectations in all areas from food to service to ambiance. We will definitely be back!

We had a perfect brunch here, every dish that we ordered was great with a reasonable price. The restaurant itself has a quiet and relaxing ambient. The staff are so friendly and professional. I would go back there and recommend it to my friends.

Such a great spot! Love coming here for Taco Tuesdays and half price oysters on Wednesdays. A true gem in Etobicoke

We were going to Cirque du Soleil on Wednesday night. We were just walking by and decided to dine at Lume. Sooo happy we did. The service was terrific with Rana looking after us. The food, starting with 1/2 price mussels, to the outstanding lamb and shrimp linguine were all absolutely fantastic. It was also 1/2 price wine night!! The entire experience was great!!!

I m waiting 45 min and nobody even take my order

I love this place! It s my go to. Lots of great restaurants in the area but the vibe at lume is different, I always truly feel at home. The quality of Food they use taste and makes me feel good when I leave.

Awesome spot to grab dinner before the show. Food was delicious prices were not too bad and service was really nice. 5/5. Kid-friendliness: The Alfredo pasta was delish

Overrated food and barely any service. Servers and bartender was more interested in chit chatting with their friends(?) who walked in. We were seated in an unfortunate location right in the middle of the restaurant (when there were only 4 other tables occupied at the restaurant) when a bunch of people walked in to stop at the bar. Kept getting bumped into with servers not doing anything, just encouraging them to stay standing at the bar. Food wise, only thing that was good was the Brussel sprouts. Dry and hard flatbread.

We came here for the first time for Mothers Day brunch and had a great experience. We booked a reservation for a large group and when we got there we needed to move tables twice as they had live music that was too loud for our group (we had two small babies and my mother is partially deaf). We felt so so awful asking to move but the staff and manager were SO kind and moved us outside without making it a big deal at all. I am a first time mom and it can be really hard getting out with a little one but Lume made our whole group feel so welcome and we had an amazing day. Cannot recommend Lume more, please check it out!!!

We got seated in the quiet section of the restaurant and had an amazing dinner. It was a busy night, food took a while but when the food came, it was well worth the wait. Nothing fancy, just delicious uncomplicated salmon wonderfully prepared. Our server was amazing, could tell she had her hands full but she remained genuinely sprightly and smiley - sorry I didnt get your name. Will definitely dine here if were in the area again!

Parking: For cheap parking, go to humber bay park. However, you will have to walk ~12 mins Food

I hosted my bridal shower at Lume Kitchen and Lounge in June. Everything from start to finish was amazing. The process of booking my private event was so easy and stress free. Rana and Luigi were so easy to communicate with and very willing to accommodate the requests I had for this special day. The restaurant is beautiful, modern and chic which alleviated a lot of decor decisions. The service provided by their staff was great. All of my guests were raving about the food served and the options they had. Everyone was super pleased and enjoyed their time and experience at the restaurant! Overall my bridal shower will be lovely lasting memory thanks to the great experience provided by the restaurant and all the staff.

Great service and atmosphere.

Dinner was great! Rana was our server and she was wonderful with our group of 10 including 4 kids. They treated the kids just as well as the adults! Quality and presentation was top notch.

Been here on multiple occasions; Brunch, lunch and dinner. PHONOMENAL time and not to mention the owner Luigi IA always so welcoming and engaging with his patrons.

I came to Lume for a friends birthday and the service was excellent and the food was very taste. Luigi the owner is so kind and down to earth. Great vibe with a dj and outdoor patio.

Had a great time at Lume! Would highly recommend the tacos! Eden, our server, was fantastic!

The dining experience was great, I was really pleased with Edens service she made me fell comfortable and she was very friendly!! The food was also very delicious

Went on $5 Tacos & Tequila night. Great tacos, the fish and fried cauliflower were the standouts. Surprisingly excellent churros. Great service. Update: Ive been here a few more times since and have been pleasantly surprised every time. Great cocktails and food, great portions, very reasonable prices - particularly on the happy hour menu and for double drinks. Service also continues to be excellent. Rez in particular has taken very good care of us. Highly recommend all around. This place is my new go-to for dinner and drinks in the neighborhood.

EDEN!!!!

I love Eden!

First time going to Lume, love the vibe of the interior, not an extensive menu but its perfect as all of the dishes ordered were delicious, started with the Margherita Flatbread, then each ordered Basil Lemon Branzino, Slow Braised Lamb Shank, all amazing dishes, well prepared and flavourful. Eden was our server and she did a great job, good recommendations. Parking: Visitor parking in the garage

Went there for brunch and the food quality was exceptional, each plate was quality checked by the chef and inspected for perfection. Although the music was a tad bit to loud, it was so yummy that I wouldn t reduce a star. I would also love to thank Eden for her delightful service it was outstanding would definitelly recommend her to anyone needing wondeful serivce!

Loved the experience. Eden my server was great, her attention to myself and my daughter was such a comfortable feeling. Her hospitality was great.

Had a great time with my boyfriend. Eden made sure it was great! Loved it and will be back

Great local spot by the lake. Excellent service and food. Eden was great

Loved the food and service! Eden took great care of us. Will def come back.

Had a great time! Eden was a great host. Went above and beyond. We loved the Brussels sprouts and braised lamb. Thank you Lume!

The brunch was outstanding my son Beckham really does know his restaurants! Would also like to thank Eden for the great service!

Came here on recommendation from a friend on a Saturday night and just wanted to say the food and service was spectacular. Drinks were sublime and orders were taken quickly with no issue. I want to thank our waitress Eden who was so helpful with any questions we had and absolutely funny. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

Lume Lounge was a great vibe for me and the Mrs. We randomly came in looking for a spot for a few drinks. Had ourselves a great time especially with our server Eden. She had us laughing and smiling the entire time while making sure we got everything we needed. For sure making this spot a regular visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to check out thank you Lume and EDEN!!!! Absolutely fantastic.

Incredible service would absolutely recommend. Especially my server Eden.

Food was amazing, loved the food! Eden was amazing so helpful and kind

100% would recommend! Special shout-out to eden for the amazing service

Truly an amazing time here! my daughter and i came here and had so much fun with our server Eden!

The service at lume kitchen and lounge was exceptional, thanks in large part to our waitress, Eden. From the moment we walked in, eden greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. She was incredibly attentive throughout the meal, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and she offered helpful recommendations when we were undecided.

Had an amazing time at Lume! Food was delicious, and Eden, our server, was outstanding! Highly recommend!

Everything we ate was delicious! Really enjoyed the baked oysters, lamb, fish tacos and the truffle fries were so good too! Great experience and service thanks to Rez! We will definitely be back! Food : 5/5

I love this place. My favourite local. Staff are lovely. Food is amazing! Don t miss out on it!! Food : 5/5

Had a large party here for my birthday, couldn t have asked for a more lovely evening! I was accommodated on short notice for a large group, the food and drinks were incredible. Several people had restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, seashell allergy, etc) all had options! Parking: Small section of parking in front and more down below in the garage

Went to this restaurant with my friend for the first time, and totally blown away for its ambience gave off a modern and cozy vibe, great light music and lighting plus a great location. The margherita flatbread was delicious! Definitely coming again!

Went for happy hour. There was lots of selection and the food was great. Definitely going again!

It was our first time at Lume where I had the pleasure celebrating Mothers day today. The food was incredible. Our server was the best especially on this busy day. The live entertainment included made it all that more special. Thank you to the manager for introducing us to the homemade hot sauce. We will be back. Thank you. Judy

Very accommodating and delicious food options.

This is a great restaurant to eat in Toronto. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. Their service is 100% all the time. I cannot emphasize enough the quality of food that is served by this restaurant. I have been there almost more than 5 times already and cannot wait to go back. A good value for money if you are looking for appetizing satisfying food.

Food is absolutely delicious, in a perfect atmosphere. Service is friendly but for us something happened between the communication with our server and the kitchen. 45 minutes for appetizers and entries which arrived together and part of our order never arrived.. Sadly the appetizer was packed up and taken home as everyone moved to their mains at this point. Hopefully we were a one off and that this doesnt happen often. Parking: Parking is a short walk away under Metro is the best and biggest option but super expensive. It was $30 flat rate for the evening when we went.

Worst service ive ever seen. We waited at patio (cold af) for 15mins, no one even came to serve the water (we asked for sparkling water at the beginning but the guy definitely forgot it) and to take our order. The chicken was even not cooked, it was raw inside and cold (it was still cold after we asked them to recook) bruh it was not steak no one wants to eat raw chicken

Taco Tuesday was a letdown. Every other night is good

Amazing service and good food! Love the vibe here on taco Tuesday with live Dj. Here for their espresso martini and the Naomi cocktail. Food

Loved the food and service, I will go again for sure! Must try Taco Tuesdays! Tonight I had the baked oysters and they are delicious! Can t wait for Jazz nights on the patio!

I was invited back to the restaurant to give it a second chance. Luigi, the manager went above and beyond. The food was fantastic and the drinks were great. I would definitely recommend this place and go back another time. I had the oysters which has their own special sauce and the burger. They were both so tasty.

I had a wonderful brunch with some girlfriends yesterday at Lume Great service, super yummy food, and I will definitely be back again in the future.

Food and drinks were incredible! I ll definitely be back.

went to this place it s beautiful and food was amazing and the server Rana was so helpful. Rana was awesome thank you

I was here as part of a private party and was very impressed with every facet of the experience. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous and creates a great vibe. The staff were attentive, considerate, friendly, and timely. This is a perfect place for a social outing of any kind. The food was also incredible. We got to try the polenta fries, brussel sprouts, and margherita flatbread as appetizers, all of which were hits. I ordered the roasted half chicken, and did not expect to get such good value for $29. The portion size was quite large, and it was some of the best roasted chicken Ive ever had. The seasoning and sauce tasted great, and it was at the perfect moisture level. I also tried my partners sachetti, and while the portion size was not nearly as generous, it was equally delicious. My only complaint would be that we were not brought a bill or prompted to pay at any point throughout the night, and because we stuck around for a long time after dinner, many of us ended up forgetting to pay, leaving the cost with the host of the party. However, I dont anticipate that this would be an issue for anyone who wasnt part of a private party. Overall, a great experience!

Reina was super friendly and sweet! She always remembers me and is top notch.

We had a great experience with Rana!

Raina is Amazing!!

Overall great experience! Food was great, service was better. Shout out to my server Eden! Definitely will be back soon

Love that this is conveniently in our neighbourhood when you kind of want a night out with good food and cocktails but don t want go downtown. I ve hosted a baby shower here and they were so accommodating, Rana helped me with every little detail and it was perfect! Thanks guys

Great service! RANA is the best

Today was my first visit to Lume, and it exceeded my expectations. Rana provided amazing service, and the food was delicious. The ambiance feels like you are away at a sunny destination spot...good music, vibes, and decor. I highly recommend this place. Alex, the chef, is wonderful too!

Recently discovered this place and love it! Great atmosphere! The staff is amazing! Always a good time when I go there! Also the venue itself is really cool, with nice lighting, ambiance, and decor! They got $5 Tacos and Tequila on Tuesday with a DJ and also it s vibing on the weekends! Really great spot for a drink or food in Mimico!

Okay spot.

Great food, great atmosphere, great music...all thanks to Rana, your were the best, see you again very soon! Daphne y Paul

Rena was very nice, the food was perfect

Absolutely delicious, we ordered portobello avocado burger and cauliflower steak and it tasted beyond our wildest expectations Thank you to our server Rania for letting us know about weekend brunch, we ll definitely come back! Vegetarian options: We are eating healthy today and usually expect vegetarian dishes in a Mediterranean dish to be more mid but it was hella amazing

Had a weird experience here. Our first server was really nice however when the second one came to serve us, she became defensive when I had told her how the hamburger meat has an odour to it. She went and spoke to the chef, and then came back to tell us that that the burger is fresh and new. Like ok that s fine, but I m the one who consumed it and can taste the foulness, so just thought I d let them know lol. She then asked if I wanted another sandwich, which was nice, so I opted for the veggie one and costed less, however I was still charged for the price of the hamburger but whatever. She stopped serving us after that as it seemed as though we were a bother for sharing our feedback. Another feedback here; when you gossip about customers to your colleagues, they know! On another note Truffle fries were delicious. Most likely won t be coming back.

The food was great, fresh, nice portions. Rana is a good server First time and will be back!

Rana is awsome love her vibe

Loved it! Thanks Rana!

We visited the restaurant as a redemption because our experience on Mother s Day was less than favourable and it was definitely a step up. Our server Gio was wonderful! He was attentive and knowledgeable and recommended some great options. Bartenders however, need to work on their chit times because our food came out before my glass of wine. Management graciously comped our whole bill when we were only anticipating having a meal and drink taken care of. Definitely an improvement from our last experience and the food was very tasty!

Lovely place with a great vibe. Eden was our server and she was very attentive and kind.

Amazing service - Rana was spectacular and super friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend for a friend Food : 5/5

Always a great time! Been served by Rana multiple times, exceptional service!

We were excited to try this place because of the reviews and its newly opened. For appetizers we ordered the Moroccan octopus, and the Lume fried chicken. Both tasted amazing. We also ordered the lamb but were quickly disappointed with the lack of taste to it. It just tasted like cooked meat. Without any flavour, I needed salt and pepper to get by. Besides the food, the service was nice. We were seated fast and checked on periodically. They offered a discount on the lamb since we barely touched it The atmosphere is better in the evening when the lights are on, we went right before the sunset and they had wifi issues so no music and the lights were a warm yellow before it got vibrant with some purple and blue. Overall it s a 3.8/5

Wheelchair accessibility: Eden was so sweet and the service was so fast and everything was fantastic! Food

this place is just so good. perfect place for a brunch, lunch and dinner. everything on the menu is just extremely tasty. the atmosphere is always the best as well as the service. fav place to eat for a long time already!

Service was impeccable, everyone should have Jerica as their server.!!! The food was outstanding, the chef came out to explain the menu and talk about the layers that you would be tasting in the food and he did not disappoint. Its one thing to hear about all the ingredients its another thing to experience those flavours. I highly recommend Lume for your next dinner experience . Parking: I was able to park Underground with no issues and it was very easy to get back to the street level where the restaurant is located

Live the vibes. Rana rooks amazing care of us.

Delicious food w vegan option! Rana was so lovely!

LUME is a total vibe! The ambiance and music are on point, creating a fantastic dining atmosphere. The food is absolutely worth every penny its delicious! The only downside was the service, which was a tad slow, but hey, with only 4 servers managing the bustling crowd, its understandable. Despite that, I had a blast and would definitely return for more culinary delights!

I live in the area and usually have Sunday brunch at a restaurant on Marine Parade. I wanted to try Lume for a change last year but that day it was closed for a private function. I tried it again last Sunday and once more was a large birthday party taking up one section but were plenty of tables available, the host tried to seat me at the bar (would have been only person at bar) but when I insisted on a table he found one for me BUT service was very slow (and somewhat indifferent) which I attributed to their being busy with the big party. The food itself was good (had the mushroom benedict) and the home made hot sauce is very good. The service continued to be poor but before I left I had a conversation with both the host and another server who were very hospitable and when they said see you next week, I said sure. I get there today and were far fewer tables occupied and seemed to be sufficient servers/hosts, was seated at table by bar, after a few minutes I was assigned to the same server as before (again he seemed busy while others looked busy but am not sure exactly what they were doing). I did say I wasnt in a rush but the server said Ill be with you in a minute which turned into five minutes (had not been offered water or asked if I wanted coffee). I told host the service here was unacceptable for me and I left and am back at my usual place by lake! As Ive said, the food is good (based on my one experience actually eating at Lume) BUT I have experienced poor service (possibly since Im a single diner). I definitely wont be back (I did give them a second chance).

Great food, was very fresh and good service. Thank you Rana for a nice evening and lovely recommendations, will be back!

We had meat eaters, paleos, and vegetarians in our party. Lume had dishes for all. Great salads and fish tacos. Also, our server Raina was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends & coworkers.

I chose to host my 33rd birthday at Lume for a dinner party and it was a fantastic experience and food and cocktails were delicious! I had 25 people come for a dinner special (apps, salad, main + dessert) and an additional 10 people come for drinks afterwards. From the initial booking to the execution of dinner and bottle service, I was so appreciative and thankful for their help in making my vision come to life-- but also making sure everyone was taken care of and that I actually enjoyed my own party :). I worked with Rana to book the event and she was so easy to work with and made sure to catch all the details. We worked on the dinner menu, chose wine bottles for the table and also for bottle service afterwards. The day of, the section in the restaurant was ready and one of my vendors had arrived early to setup balloons and they were all easy to work with and have things set up and looked beautiful. Cocktails, dinner and service was excellent--- Rana was serving our table and I cannot believe how she remember everyones name and orders and always made sure to check in to make sure I was having a good time. Dinner was delicious, I have tried multiple items on the menu previously but I was soo impressed with the chicken-- it was juicy and flavours were amazing. We also ordered bottles and they brought our sparklers to get the party started, but also allowed me to bring in a cake from a local bakery and once again-- added more sparklers to make the event special :) I truly appreciated all the effort that was put in to making this event special and enjoyable for all of my guests without the headache of having to stay on top of things or worrying about clean up. Chatting with others afterwards, they also said the service was great and the food was so delicious that they would be coming back to visit on their own. Thank you again Lume, Rana & everyone else that made my birthday a wonderful time! I will certainly make this location my top choice for any other events I have moving forward.

UPDATED REVIEW: We came back as a redemption since our last experience wasn t the greatest. This second time around was much better. Gio was our server and he was amazing giving us some great recommendations! The drinks were good and so was the food (recommend to try the fries at least once!). The only thing I wasn t a fan of was how long it took to get our drinks. However when we did get them they were delicious. The manager ended up comping our entire bill when we only expected our meal and drink so that was a lovely surprise. Overall an improvement from the last time.

Great atmosphere, food and music ! Gio is an amazing server ! Food

Reina the best and sweetest service ive ever had! Dietary restrictions: Nice Food : 5/5 |

Taco tuesday was awesome. $5 tacos and $5 tequila drinks! Rana, our waitress was amazing! Cant wait to go back for more tacos!

Eden is the BEST

We love lume and Eden is the best !! Make sure you ask for her

Love this place The food is really good Special thanks to Rana an Luigi Looking forward to coming back Food : 5/5 |

Chose Lume for my husband s 50th birthday party after having been here once before. The entire experience was seamless from the initial contact to the day of the event, Rana was excellent! She was quick to respond and was very attentive to our needs. The food was excellent and the service exceeded our expectations. Well done Luigi and team!! Cheers to James s 50th we highly recommend Lume! xo Vanessa.

Eden was the best server I ve ever had in a really long time! Best service always
