“ Spectacular food in a cozy, comfortable restaurant. Everything we ate was incredible, and the servers were so friendly! The chef is Italian and makes all the pasta from scratch. The restaurant is small and sweet. Definitely make a reservation! ”
“ We had one of the best meals lately at Luna. The fish special was a Panko encrusted baked Grouper served either sauteed spinach and the creamiest mashed potatoes. Our friend enjoyed the Butternut Squash stuffed ravioli with shrimp. I also love the fried goat cheese beet salad and hubby had the seared scallops as an appetizer. We finished off dinner with their dessert special of baked apple crumble with a scoop of gelato and a drizzle of caramel. ”
“ Luna is exactly the kind of place you hope to find on a beach day — a quiet, charming spot tucked right next to the hustle and bustle of Coconuts. While the crowds pack in next door, Luna offers a relaxed, peaceful vibe with plenty of shaded outdoor seating. The drinks are fantastic (seriously, some of the best cocktails we had all trip!), and the service is warm and welcoming. It’s the perfect spot to kick back, sip something delicious, and enjoy the beachy atmosphere without all the noise. If you’re looking for a more laid-back, cozy alternative right by the water, Luna is an absolute must-visit. ”
“ It was a great dining experience. The ambiance was pretty good. It’s a good place to be catching up with some friends and family. The food was new to our tastebuds. It was just a little expensive for the amount of servings. But the quality and uniqueness of the dishes was fantastic. ”
“ My wife and I love the food and atmosphere here so much drive from Jacksonville FL that is about a 2 hour drive. ”
“ Amazing!! Little place right off the surf. I would recommend calling ahead for reservations as there is limited seating. The kids menu lacked options. Otherwise this place did not disappoint. We tried several options from the menue and the special. Huli holiday tuna by far the best dish I had on this trip to Florida. Great drinks and great service. The place is small maybe 1500 sq feet so expect loudness and closeness in your dining experience. ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised at the quiet atmosphere inside Luna being that the location is so close to the chaos. We were immediately acknowledged and consistently cared for by all 3 gentlemen working. The food is a bit pricey but absolutely worth while! Be sure to save room for dessert!!! All made in house and definitely a must to finish off the great meal!! We would definitely go back!!! ”
“ The drinks, staff and food were phenomenal. We had the steak and mahi mahi which were both so good. Thank you for a great anniversary dinner. ”
