    Sadly, this visit was not nearly as pleasant as our first a few days ago. On the first visit we arrived in late afternoon on a slow day. We received first class service and the food was outstanding! This second visit was in early evening on a very busy night. They were totally overwhelmed and unprepared. To begin we had reservations, a concept they apparently struggle with. When we checked in early with the somewhat rude hostess we were told that our table was not ready and we would have to wait until our reservation time. We thought the wording was strange, but okay, we'll wait despite there being half the table empty throughout the restaurant. As we sat there, a steady stream of people came and were seated. Finally at the proper time of our reservation, we went back to the hostess stand and were told that she would now have to find us a table and clean it. At last we were seated. The table was not clean with food bits still everywhere. The hostess begrudgingly cleaned it and reset it, minus the water glasses, napkins and appetizer dishes that other tables were set with. 25 minutes later a waitress appeared and took our order. 10 minutes later we flagged down the person we assumed was the manager and informed her that we had been seated for more than 30 minutes and we would like some water. The highlight of the evening was that the food came out fairly quickly, albeit cold. The food was not nearly as on point as the previous visit and not only because it was cold. Overall, this place has tremendous potential and we originally believed it was living up to it. Now we have seen that the staffing is a real problem. This night there were only 3 waitresses and one surly hostess. The food runners seemed to try to bus tables on occasion if they happen to see some dishes that might need to be picked up. Otherwise, the 3 waitresses and the surly hostess were also bussing all the tables. They also lack a service bar and it shows at the tables. An impossible staffing model.

    The restaurant is beautiful. They are not ready to serve guests yet. They need to train everyone again. The biggest issue is the hostess process and the hostess we had ( Rose ). The waitresses need more training on how to properly serve. How to take orders, pour water etc. We had a reservation for 7:30 pm. We asked for the table by the railing and the hostess said no. She put us next to the bar in a hightop and did not count correctly so we didn’t have enough of everything. It was very loud in that area. The waitress did not ask us if we wanted drinks first. She stood in one place to take our order and we had to yell over the noise. When she poured water the metal pitcher leaked all over the place and left puddles on the table that she never cleaned up. The table we wanted went empty for over an hour. A crowd came behind us and we could not hear ourselves think. I left the table and approached the hostess to move to the table we wanted which now sat for over an hour. All the table’s including that one were dirty (hostess should have been cleaning them off and resetting or having bus boys do that. Meanwhile our food was not out yet ( over an hour). Finally they came to clean the table, and we got appetizers. One of our guests had left angry and we asked the waitress to cancel his meal- she cancelled two meals. Oh, she also brought white wine instead of red ( They are not trained on wine at all). The food was good. Meatball appetizer is excellent. Young half chicken was tiny- not worth it. We will not go back. It was a complete disaster.

    We had a seven pm reservation, we were early and they seated us right away. Two of us ordered the Young Hen, those entrees came out quickly and were delicious. The side salad, vegetables were delicious. Two of us wanted to order lasagna; they were out. So they ordered the pasta carbonara. It was good. The ladies waited quite awhile for their pasta - I asked the front of the house manager who checked on them and then out right out. Our server Pablo worked hard and provided very good service. They were extremely busy and I would say understaffed. They had an event with live band so it was a bit loud. It was fun and we were treated to a great fireworks display, courtesy of the VIPCA yacht Show. On balance it was pleasant and we’ll go again.

    Food, wait staff, and location outstanding. Manager on duty did nothing to accommodate request for specific table, stating it was reserved but no one was seated there or at similar tables during our meal. Chose instead to seat us nearly on top of another patron, who promptly stood up and left. Attempted to solicit complaints about waitstaff from us during meal-disruptive and not warranted. Some of the best food we’ve had, not just in this region. Excellent chef!

    This restaurant was not ready to be open. We weren’t told until after we paid that it was only their third day being open. Regardless our server checked on us once and it took an hour and a half for our food to come out. Food came out wrong, we never got a second order of drinks, and our server stood at the kiosk for 30 minutes punching buttons. I understand high end dining but $14 for a 3 oz cup of rice???? Total waste of an experience…

    We never got to experience Luna Mar because it rained. They put us in another restaurant but said the food was the same. We thought the grouper was drowned in too much butter. The Alec we dined was like a cafeteria. We thought the hood was so overpriced. The white wine (Pinot Grigio) was served warm! The server was very blasé and could use some polishing. Won’t be going back again

    Our server was fantastic but she had too many tables and it took 30 minutes to get drinks initially, mostly due to bar being quite slow. We had finished our appetizers before the drinks arrived from the bar. Grouper was excellent. Shrimp and pasta was okay. Food came out quickly. Unparalleled views that make up much of the ground lost with slower bar service.

    The best part of this meal was the service and the attention to detail from the entire staff. My husband and I celebrated his birthday here and the staff went above and beyond to make him feel special, we even received a complimentary dessert to celebrate! The food was amazing, delicious, and well-prepared. The service itself was a little slow, but it wasn't enough to find myself impatient or the need to call someone. I will also state the restaurant was very busy, our reservation was at 7 p.m. and there wasn't an open table. The one thing that put me off about this location was the location itself. The restaurant lies in a beautiful resort. However, the restaurant is situated between one of the resort pools and the resort hotel itself. This meant during our entire meal, hotel guests were walking by us as they were going to and from the pool. Overall if you're looking for romantic and quiet, this isn't it. But if you're looking for great service with awesome food, in a very casual environment, you can't go wrong.

    First week they’re open and still off season so I’m sure it will get even better. Great attentive service, limited menu which I like and is smart. Several menu items were either not available or were unavailable. Great portion size and very good preparation. Mostly outdoor, beautiful space.

    The food was excellent. However, they did not have any coffee, and apparently do not plan on serving any in the future. The drinks they advertise are made in batches so if there is something you want to leave out it can’t be done. The setting was stunning. The main course was delicious, appetizers were medium. I think our server was new and didn’t really know the lay of the land. But it would probably be worth giving it another try once they get a little more established.

    The view is outstanding. The service just right, not rushing, attentive but not hovering. The food… was outstanding, delicious and a beautiful presentation. We ordered appetizers, quickly changed our mind but the chef had already started the order. They gave us our second choice..and our first one was in process and they gave it to us on the house! This will be a must for us in future visits to St. Thomas.
