I had a reservation, checked in and asked for a table on the rail and that we would wait. They said as soon as one opened they would text me. They did not watched multiple ppl who came in after us seated. I literally had to go back to the podium and remind them. Very disorganized

The food was fantastic! Our server was great. She was very attentive even though it was very very busy on this taco Tuesday. It was very crowded and noisy but that’s OK. That added to the great vibe. Also the location can’t be beat… Right across from the ocean. Would definitely recommend!

Ken was our waiter , we purposely went for taco Tuesday! Which he didn’t even mention about the specials ! 5 dollar tacos and 5 dollar margaritas. He swindle us into pitchers of margaritas which was $60 bucks without saying anything. We felt like his lack of communication left us with a big bill !! Which we were there for their specials . Shady shady shady. We will never go there again

My cousin from Texas joined me at Lona last night. Omg the food was incredible. I had the lobster quesadillas and she had the crab dish, outstanding. A young lady by the name Jade had the best customer service. Server was great and the food came out on time. I would recommend Lona to anyone looking for excellent service and great food.

Comfortable outdoor seating w fans, ample table space, family-friendly, and good view of beach. Music was loud, & unfortunately service was slow. More unfortunately, food and cocktails were just average - especially for the price. It was Mother's Day, so we were glad to get a reservation, but we would not go back if other, better area restaurants are available.

Made a reservation but when we arrived, they had no space for us. They ended up seating us next to the service station which was a mess. Our poor server was crushed with her entire section sat at once, and did her best. Food arrived quickly, but no-one had pre-cleared app plates etc so there was nowhere to put entrees when they arrived. Hosts need to control the flow and not slam the service staff. It compromises the guest experience.

Service was great. Food was really good. Drinks were good, but expensive and tiny. Environment was noisy - but not more than would be expected at a beachfront property. Most disappointing part was parking. Took about 20-25 minutes in and out, and was valet only.

Went out for brunch here for Mother’s Day. The hostess Daniela and Fatima and Jessica were super friendly and smiling from the moment we were approaching the door. Then our server Cynthia was amazing. Helped us out with all our questions we had on the buffet. Will definitely be coming back. Strongly recommend not only for the view but the service is awesome.

Contrary to what the email confirmation said, brunch buffet ended at 3pm. So while our reservation was at 2pm, they did not give us a 2 hour time slot. The food and drinks stopped at 3pm. We paid full price for half the amount of time promised.
