Jazmine Lalicker's Luma faces the Petaluma River near East Washington Street, with a patio over the water. Shareable starters such as calamari and spicy jumbo prawns give way after 4:30 to a fire-roasted half chicken, pork chop or Wagyu steak, with plenty for vegans and vegetarians. Cocktails and mocktails get equal care.

Brunch

Luma Bar & Eatery opened in December 2022 on the Petaluma riverfront at the foot of East Washington Street, in the space that long held Dempsey's. Owner Jazmine Lalicker, also a co-owner of The Shuckery, built it as a plant-forward restaurant and cocktail bar with a clear sustainability mission and a commitment to local sourcing. The opening menu was vegetarian by default, with proteins offered as add-ons; within months the kitchen broadened into California-Mediterranean cooking with larger meat and fish plates, while keeping a deep bench of vegan and vegetarian dishes. That balance is the point: a table of omnivores, vegetarians and vegans can all order well here. It is a young kitchen, not yet five years old, and already finding its following along the river.

Menu Highlights

The menu mixes plates to share with full dinner mains. House fries and focaccia open the table, calamari and spicy jumbo prawns follow, and after 4:30 the mains run to a fire-roasted half chicken, a pork chop and a grilled Wagyu steak, with the Luma Burger for an easier meal. The bar is as much a draw as the kitchen, with complex, balanced cocktails and mocktails made with the same care, and a global, modestly priced wine list. On warm days the patio overlooking the river fills first. Lunch and dinner run Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30, with later closing on Friday and Saturday, brunch on weekends and happy hour from 3 to 5:30, and the kitchen is closed on Mondays. Reservations are taken online, though walking in for a cocktail and a few plates by the water is the classic Luma visit.

Travis Day

Executive Chef

Travis Day, a chef and butcher, took over Petaluma's Thistle Meats in 2017 and owned the shop before leading the kitchen at Luma Bar & Eatery on the Petaluma riverfront from its December 2022 opening. His California-Mediterranean menu keeps a deep bench of vegetarian and vegan plates alongside meat and fish.
