    Pros: Great service and view. Guacamole and Fundido were delicious. Cons: Poor quality entrees. We had these dishes before as a comparison. The churros dessert was easily the worst we’ve had. Purchased water bottles came to us suspiciously already opened, but the waitress pretended to open them. Weird. Valet on Open Table says $8 for dinner time, and we charged $10 even though we showed what Open Table said. We won’t fight to $2, but that’s wrong.

    One of my favorite restaurants for brunch, but I didn't realize the brunch was only on Sunday. This time I went on a Saturday and ended up ordering from the menu. The service and the vibe was good.

    Unexpectedly amazing experience. Top notch food and service at a reasonable price. We had a reservation and we’re seated immediately. The server arrived in good time with water and took our drink orders. Many interesting drinks on the cocktail menu but we went with wine. For dinner we had chicken fajitas and steak fajitas. Both were really well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Everything was very fresh! We will definitely be back.

    It was great except the server offered us sone Birthday shots! 100% expected to pay for them but a $20 shot each should’ve been mentioned. Other than that it was great food and great experience. I should’ve asked honestly but $20 a piece is something I’d have mentioned as a server. Had I known I would’ve sipped the Don Julio and not tried to chug it 😂.

    Good tasted great. If you wanted an omelette you had to wait. Only one person making omelets. They definitely need just a tray of scrambled eggs. Music was way too loud. People yelling to talk to each other due to music. I’m not going out to eat to hear music. Wait staff was excellent. Value for money is great! Probably won’t go back just due to how loud music was.

    Bibiana was our server and she was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend requesting her. She knows a lot about the menu and is very friendly. The food is delicious. So much flavor packed into every meal. Go on a Tuesday for the $5 margaritas and $5 taco bar. You will be upset you didn’t find this restaurant sooner!

    We have never been to FL before. We were staying at the Westin & this restaurant was on the list of suggested places to eat. The first night we were there we decided to go eat at Lona. We were not disappointed. Our server was very attentive, food was delicious & it was a pleasant atmosphere. We appreciated everything. If we come back to FL, we would definitely return.

    A DJ played music at dinner time. It was nice, but too loud if you prefer talking. I had a beef skirt steak which was more a chewing gum than what it should be as a highly priced piece of meat. I have expected better quality. Location very nice beach overlooking.

    Went for brunch which has bottomless bloody marys for $10. I asked what kind of vodka they used, waiter told me but then said I could get another vodka so I asked for Tito's. When the bill came he charged me for two drinks at $14 each and said Tito's isn't available for bottomless. I would have been fine with their house vodka. He should have explained all of this before I placed my order. Good thing I only had 2 drinks!

    We were sat in what felt like a private dining room with little ambiance and a giant TV on the wall. By the end of the meal we were the only table in this part of the restaurant that felt odd and disconnected. The food was good but the room detracted from the experience and I probably would not return.

    We made a reservation through Open Table based on the reviews. However the entire experience was such a disappointment. The restaurant was loud and smelled like wet garbage. The food was not great and expensive. Even worse this was supposed to be our anniversary celebration and the restaurant did nothing to make it special.
