Mari Luna BistroGreat DiningThis was our second time dining at Mari Luna's - 6 months apart - and it was a complete joy. Everything was excellent - food, service, ambience - the whole deal. Look forward to returning again. It's nice to know their service is consistent.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent DinnerA friend and I had dinner prior to going to hear the BSO. The food was excellent. The service was prompt and friendly. What more needs to be said??5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat spot before theater!This was our second time at Mari Luna Bistro for dinner. We were blessed with the same wonderful server, Devante(sp?) and our favorite drink is the white sangria. The lamb shank and skirt steak were delicious as was the ceviche. Though I'm used to having some sweet potato with my ceviche in the traditional manner. The spanish rice wasn't so great. It tasted like it came from a box. We loved the creme brulee and the flan was just like I remembered it as a kid. Make sure you get reservations because this place often fills up quick when there's an event at the BSO! Looking forward to returning one day and trying more menu items...5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMwe eat here almost every timewe eat here almost every time we go to Meyerhoff or Lyric. Very convenient and food is delicious5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMConsistently GoodThe food here is always good. The skirt steak is one of our favorites, and the lamb chops were excellent, too. Great chips and salsa, of course! And a nice selection of wines -- although $10 for a glass of wine that sells for $12 a bottle makes me limit it to one glass. Our server was great -- anticipating needs, friendly but not intrusive.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Mexican Food & SangriaThis could be one of the best Mexican restaurants. Sean was our waiter and was very accommodating knowing we were in a hurry to get to a show. The white Sangria was amazing. After the show we came back for a few more pitchers!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the few places to goOne of the few places to go if one is going to the symphony. Good Mexican food. Our server was very good but she had way too many tables to look after, some inside and some outside.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMWe went to dinner before theWe went to dinner before the concert on a Thursday evening.

The female server was outstanding and the food fabulous!4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent service- we lovedExcellent service- we loved our waiter! Interesting interior and well decorated. Crowded at 515 with pre show diners for Lyric and Myerhoff (just like us), well managed and paced. The guacamole bar was excellent, as was the shrimp bisque. We have added this to our list of good places and looking forward to going back there.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMService could have been better.Service could have been better. Waiter was good, but had too many tables to take care of. Food was good, good sangria4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is excellent. The serviceFood is excellent. The service was a little slow, as apparently one of the dishes ordered was not immediately available. However, I would definitely recommend it and would go again.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWait staff were friendly andWait staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and arrived at our table very quickly. The only criticism I have is the noise level; with all tables occupied, it was too noisy to carry on a quiet conversation. Some sound-absorbing materials on the walls would help.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMI frequent all three of theirI frequent all three of their restaurants and they are all wonderful.
