Diner Reviews
  • "This is a new restaurant where the friendly personable owners ( husband/chef and wife/greeter ) try very hard to make guests feel welcome! Some dishes are very good- Tuscan bean w/mussel soup, Cioppino and many others. Some are still works in progress. Good wine list. It has become a very popular spot so reservations are a must. Caution- when they're busy the staff seems shorthanded and service is slow. Overall, definitely worth a try."

  • "This is a fabulous neighborhood gem with excellent food and magical views of San Francisco. Reservations recommended due to the small size of restaurant, but the small size means each entrée is handcrafted by this very talented chef. Highly Recommended !"

  • "Luna Blu is a lovely addition to Tiburon serving delicious Italian food and seafood. A must try if you love eating meat is the stuffed pork chop! It is huge and actually enough for two people to share. It was tender, moist, and served with a demi glace. Our daughter, who loves clams, enjoyed the Linguine Alle Vongole which had just a touch of spiciness. We also had the fried calamari as an appetizer. The fried zucchini was a nice addition with it. For dessert we had the Tiramisu and the Goat Cheese (I can't remember the actual name), but it was like having a deconstructed cannoli. I LOVED the Goat Cheese dessert and kept scraping the plate until it was clean. The owners, Renzo and Crystal, are very gracious and so welcoming."

  • "A new restaurant has opened recently in Tiburon. How lucky for us! We were there this weekend and dined well. We were first seated inside, and ordered drinks. Longingly looking at the patio overlooking the bay, I asked Crystal, the owner, if we could possibly move outside. She figured out that it was possible, told us to sit tight for a few minutes, and then we were transported to the best table in the house (or so we felt)! We started with a nice caesar salad, had the branzino and the risotto, and a couple of glasses of wine. We were too full for dessert, so we walked along the waterfront to end a wonderful evening. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was romantic, but good for families, as well. A great night!"

  • "The owners (Renzo cooks & Crystal makes everyone welcome) are ever present to ensure their guests are treated well. The food is fresh, interesting and tasty. Views from the deck are fantastic., but you will also enjoy being inside this cozy, comfortable Main Street eatery. Tiburon residents love this new restaurant and keep coming back. Good luck getting a reservation!!!"

  • "We had a great brunch here on Sunday. Food was very good, the service was attentive and friendly, and the prices were reasonable. Luna Blu only opened a few months ago, and clearly the word has not gotten out yet as there were only 2 or 3 tables occupied. Small interior but the outdoor seating was closed due to bad weather - but I'm sure the views are great. Please support this nice new spot in the neighborhood."

  • "What a great find this place is! I had the sea bass and it was done to perfection with a crispy crust and very moist and tender inside. It was sitting atop a bed of cherry tomatoes and mango and the flavors went so well together. My spouse had the boar ravioli and he really enjoyed it. We shared a bowl of Brussels sprouts with pancetta and I could have just eaten that for dinner. So yummy! Crystal, one of the owners, is always so warm and friendly. She really makes you feel at home and ensures you have a great meal. This is my second time here and it is not going to be my last!"

  • "Despite a seemingly inexperienced waiter who didn't hear the "virgin" before "Bloody Mary"', we had a very pleasant experience at this new gem. The initial saving grace was that the co-owner saw us discussing the beverage and stepped in to make sure all was well. She was so gracious that we recovered quickly and moved on. The meal itself was very well prepared. Service was excellent, not so much on the waiter's part (nice guy, did fine, but needs some experience), but the owners are fantastic and kept an eye on everything. We'd return without hesitation."

  • "Our reservation was for 6:15. Very shortly after we arrived, the place became crowded and we waited for a long time for a waiter. Our waiter was not originally assigned to our table, but took it when we told the bus boy that we had not been waited on. At 7 we asked the waiter to deliver the wine. We got our food about 7:15 or so. We were offered a free dessert due to the poor service. When the gelatto / pear dish arrived, the pear was warm on one side and cold on the other. In a first for me, the waiter came to our table before we left and apologized for the poor service! With that admission, he turned out to be the bright spot in a very poor dining experience. I thanked him for that."

  • "The freshness of the food will have me returning again and again. And the service was outstanding. I felt welcomed from the second I walked in the door to the moment I left. I can't recommend this place enough for their excellence."

  • "We went on Valentine's Day. Open Table did not alert us that it would be a special menu. The menu was limited and disappointing. All the fish dishes were in a cream sauce, not the way I enjoy fish. Service was slow."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "Our first visit to Luna Blu was first-rate. We had a table on the deck, under efficient heat lamps, with a view of city lights and a starry night. While there was not as much seafood and fish on the menu as we had anticipated, our meals were very good. The service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely return."

  • "Enjoyed a romantic, delicious dinner on the deck. Excellent food & wine, with a killer view. I wouldn't have been as happy inside, but the outside dining was a fabulous time, and more than I had hoped for."

  • "The food and service were great. Menu has a good variety. Only draw back is it is a tiny place and dinning inside can feel a bit cramped -but the outside space is less cramped, has outdoor heaters, and has lovely bay views. Best for small parties of 2 to 4 people tops. I will definitely go again."
    Dined on 1/29/2014
  • "The owners asked us to leave almost immediately when we finished eating and paid the bill because another couple was waiting for our table. It's true--the restaurant is small, with few tables. But I do not see that as a reason for ungraciously turning over the tables as quickly as possible, especially when we had spent nearly $100 on a Monday night on dinner, drinks and dessert. Quite unprofessional."

  • "We had a wonderful dinner recently at Luna Blu. The staff was gracious and the food excellent. The octopus carpaccio was fantastic and set the stage for a great evening. We dined comfortably under the heat lamps on the patio with a charming view of San Francisco. Luna Blu is a great addition to Tiburon."

  • "This is a lovely restaurant with a comfortable feel and an amazing chef. Our salads, appetizer and entrees were really delicious. The sauces are superb. Unfortunately the service really needs help. We had to ask for water for the table two times and inquired on bread for the table and our waitress said, Oh that never arrived? So, we will return for the wonderful cuisine and hope that the service does improve."

  • "This is the latest entry to the Tiburon dining scene serving lunch and dinner. Our first visit was a delight and although the food was well presented and very tasty (Siciliano menu) the noise level was etergetic++. The husband (chef) wife (out front) team are definately off to a good start judging from our experience the the crowd that accompanied us. The chioppino I had was deeelish as was the baby arugula saladl."

  • "...At least that's what it sounded like when I looked up the reviews of the newly opened Luna Blu in Tiburon. My first visit was a realty check to see whether this hype was justifiable or not. Here is my observation: The food was okay but didn't exceed the one of so many neighborhood Italian restaurants.The service was friendly and professional. I would go there again, but next time with a lower expectation."

  • "Went last Friday and had a extremely pleasant time. The space was very calming;the food was tasty and the service was crisp and professional. I was on crutches and was seated very promptly. I would go again."

  • "New restaurant -- menu offers exciting choices but the actual food is only average. Slow service. Attentive hostess and wonderful outdoor venue kept it from being a bust."

  • "I loved this new restaurant. The restaurant had only been open 2 weeks when I went with my husband and another couple. We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed the lovely view of the sailboats that were all lit up for the holidays. The owner greeted us and helped answer questions about the wine list and menu. I had the Cippioni and it was fresh and delicious. My husband had the osso buco and loved it. One of our other guests had the linguine and clams and said it was the best she has ever had. We also had a wonderful Italian montepulciano that was delicious. I think this is a new neighbourhood gem and will definitely return."

  • "Second time that I have been for dinner. The owner (Crystal) was kind enough to call me to let me know that I could get in earlier than I had reserved. Great atmosphere, great service (improved since my first visit) and the food is very good. Glad to have another restaurant in the neighborhood."

  • "Renzo and Crystal have created a little gem of a restaurant in Tiburon. The menu changes daily with the freshest of fresh ingredients. We were transported to our recent trip to Italy with Renzo's amazing dishes. The views of the city are stunning. We feel so fortunate to have Luna Blu in our neighborhood. We've been there three times since they opened in mid-December and have been delighted each time."

  • "Quite good: the eggplant parmesan with a side of brussel sprouts was delicious. The calamari was fine but the sauce was overpoweringly spicy. All portions are small so you won't overeat here. The tiramasu was OK, but not memorable. Wish there were more dessert choices. This is a great addition to Tiburon. The place was packed and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The view from the deck is world class. We will definitely be returning."

  • "This new iteration of the old Swedish Bakery is a nice addition. The owners are very hospitable and the food excellent. However, the service is poor, amateurish, and unprofessional. "How ya doin?" "How's it tastin?" I want them to succeed, but they will need to work on the customer experience. Also, the restaurant can be very cold, with the door constantly opening and closing to the patio area. Try to sit in the "middle" if you can."

  • "Food service both great. Nice people and they have put a lot of care and love into the renovation. Outdoor deck is a great option with heat lamps. Renzo and Crystal are very sweet and his food was spectacular. Definitely a stand out in Tiburon."

  • "Luna Blu is Tiburon's newest restaurant and definitely worth a visit. Cozy, interesting interior with an outdoor patio with beautiful view of SF. Food is FABULOUS! Mussels were outstanding, as was the Cioppino. Actually every single dish from salad to dessert was mighty tasty. Service was great. Cynthia & Renz (owners/chef) are very friendly and welcoming. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "The food tasted home cooked with fresh local ingredients. Our host/one of the owners is as sweet as they get and the chef/other owner comes to your table for feedback. Tiburon needs to have a local restaurant such as theirs. Two thumbs up for sure!"
