    This was my second visit to Cafe Luna as the first wasn’t so good. However, the Manager did contact me and was very apologetic to my experience so I gave the restaurant another try. The food was much better than my last experience. We had eggplant parm and a halibut meal. Both were exceptional. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is nice but very loud. Although we didn’t have any appetizers, the selection was much better than my first visit and sounded delicious. I was most appreciative that they cared enough to read the review and request I come back. It says a lot about their commitment to their customers.

    I went here for dinner and to celebrate my wife’s birthday it was perfect. The people were friendly and helpful that worked there. The staff there was helpful and made me and my wife happy and feel like family. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very attentive. The food was excellent it was my first time there and the staff made me feel like I was a regular customer. The experience was outstanding and I plan to come back soon with my wife and some of my family as well. Thank you all staff for your hospitality it’s appreciated today!
