To start off, this is definitely not meant to bash Luna at all. I think Luna has a great atmosphere, and the food and drinks have been great every time I've visited. I've been about 2-3 times now, and the food has consistently been really good. That being said, I would definitely recommend a little more customer service training for the servers. Everyone I've encountered has been very nice, but sometimes it's the simple things, like showing that you're happy to serve your paying customers and making sure they feel taken care of. Each time I've visited, we've found ourselves waiting close to 30 minutes for our server to come by for refills, a to-go box, or even the check. I completely understand that mistakes happen and that things can get busy. I've worked in the restaurant industry before, so I really do try my best to be understanding. However, during one of my recent visits, my order came out incorrectly. There was an item on my plate that I had specifically requested not to have. Of course, mistakes happen, and I had no issue communicating the mistake to my server. What bothered me was that instead of apologizing for the error, she looked at me and simply walked away with the plate. I assumed it was a minor mistake and that she would have the order corrected. I could have just removed the item myself, but at the same time, I shouldn't have to pick through my food after receiving an incorrect order when I'm paying for it. When she brought the plate back, she simply left it on the table without saying anything or acknowledging the mistake. I actually found myself apologizing to her for making her do the extra work, and she just walked away. Overall, I really do think Luna is a great restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. I'm sharing this feedback because I think with some improvement in customer service, communication, and wait times, Luna has the potential to be even better. I would definitely come back, and I hope this feedback is taken as constructive criticism rather than anything negative. read more

Outstanding restaurant. Don't confuse it with the other Luna in the shopping center. This bistro has a great combination of Mediterranean and Latin infused drinks and food. Great atmosphere and service by Samantha (Sam) was over the top! we will be back again. Spicy shrimp appetizer 5 ! read more

This restaurant deserves all the praise. It was my second time here, and it was just as good as I remembered. I ordered the shrimp gobernador verdes tacos (2), which came with a side of rice and beans. I don't know what they put in the rice to make it so flavorful, but they should keep doing what they're doing. They're not stingy with the shrimp, and the flavor absolutely blew my mind. Exceptional! The ambience is also really nice, with lots of mood lighting, plants, and live music Thursday -Sunday. The patio looks nice too, but it's not always open. read more

So delightful to meet a friend here for dinner at 5pm on the first Friday of fall. Got seated right away near the kitchen (I love watching them cook), and my challenge was finding something with no dairy (allergy), so I was excited to try the Salmon al Pastor: now, I'm a salmon lover, and this is in my salmon Top 10...the green sauce brings a beautiful amount of heat, and the salmon tender and flaky. My friend always gets the fish and chips and lives in the neighborhood. I will be back! Such friendly staff; parking can be a challenge; fantastic space with great music. read more

The ambience was a vibe cool & chic. The food was a little hit or miss. We tried the soyrizo & potato flautas, fish & chips, beans and rice, crispy eggplant bites, and chicken wings. The crispy eggplant bites were delish I would definitely order again. Some of the other dishes were good, while a few were a little bland. Unfortunately, the chicken wings were not good at we sent them back. We really tried to make the best of our dining experience, but the service made it difficult. We found ourselves constantly trying to get the servers' attention, and the food took quite a while to come out. It also wasn't very crowded when we arrived, so we weren't sure why everything was moving so slowly. Overall, great ambience, the food was inconsistent and the service definitely needs improvement. read more

Luna Bistro in Long Beach was such a fun dining experience! Waitress was helpful in answering question we had and offering her personal recommendations. Such a beautiful restaurant with lighting and seating such a cool vibe. We started with some fun cocktails--I had the Cosa Picosa--and then ordered the ceviche appetizer. It was so fresh and flavorful that we seriously couldn't stop eating it! For my main dish, I ordered the Steak Al Sur, which was delicious and packed with flavor. I especially loved the enchilada on the side with the tomatillo salsa--it was so good! The jalapeño garlic butter was a little too garlicky for my personal preference, so I ended up taking most of it off, but the steak was still really flavorful and enjoyable overall. Definitely a fun spot with creative cocktails, fresh food, and lots of great flavors. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more

Decided to try this place on a Thursday evening. The ambience is wonderful, inviting, and perfect for a meal out. While we unfortunately had to leave before the live music started, I learned they host performances every Thursday through Saturday, and I'm already planning to return specifically to catch a show during dinner. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. As for the food, both dishes we tried were excellent: Steak al Sur: This was a standout. The thin-cut beef flap steak was flavorful, perfectly complemented by the jalapeño-garlic butter and roasted salsa. It also came with a delicious carnitas enchilada verde and a hearty serving of casamiento (black beans and rice). Steak al Norte: Also a great choice, featuring tender beef flap steak topped with a rich garlic cream sauce. It was served with garlic mashed potatoes, herb olive oil, and perfectly sautéed broccolini and seasonal veggies. This was so delicious. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for great food and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for my birthday and to check the restaurant out after a friend recommended it, and I'm so glad we did! First, we ordered the ceviche since it's one of their popular dishes. It can be spicy, so if you don't like spice, make sure to ask your server to make it mild or leave the spice out completely. We ordered ours with no spice, and it was very good! My mom and I split a Smashburger, which was more than enough food for me. The burger was delicious, juicy, and moist. The atmosphere here is great! It's fun, lively, and they even have music playing, which really adds to the experience. Since it was my birthday, they brought me a flan with a sparkler. They charge $1 for it, which I'm assuming is for the sparkler, but it was such a nice little birthday touch. I would definitely come back again! One thing to keep in mind is that they fill up pretty quickly, so I recommend getting there early. They also do not take reservations on weekends. Overall, a fun place with great food and a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Luna is such a cute spot, it's like you're transported to Europe for a meal. (They played really good music too lol) We got ceviche, mini smash sliders, and blackened lemon-honey salmon. I liked the ceviche and sliders the most. The ceviche was really fresh. The salmon wasn't bad but didn't wow me either. Presentation was perfect. Portions were a lot bigger than I was expecting, which is always nice. There wasn't any wait for a Sunday afternoon. We didn't get drinks but I will have to come back sometime for a dinner/gno vibe.. I think I spotted a few sangrias on the menu.. read more

I will start off with the good part, the aesthetic was nice and calm. Very clean and spacious. My guest and I went for breakfast. The food was mediocre underseasoned, I ordered sliders my 1st guest ordered steak and eggs; they didn't like it( too dry and tough) 2nd guest ordered breakfast potatoes and chili Riano breakfast potatoes were dried out and lacked seasoning. The cocktails were salty. The two of my guests ordered bloody Mary's and they did not like them at all. I don't think I would return to this place, Not even for happy hour. read more

The pasta at Luna Bistro is amazing plus if you add chicken . I tried it with chicken , shrimp and mussels ! It did not disappoint, had the right amount of sauce. The portions were also respectably big. One thing I really enjoyed was the live music ( I came on a Saturday). read more

They're always ready to serve up a satisfying meal in a beautiful setting. We especially love the two outdoor patios, which became our default meeting spot with friends to watch the World Cup games. The servers were always hospitable. The only strike against the restaurant is that the food was only mediocre. It's not bad, but it's certainly no match for the lovely setting. read more

I met my financial advisor here for happy hour since he recommended it. There's a small parking lot in front of the business and I was fortunate to secure a prime parking space. I arrived before him and grabbed a table around 4 pm on a Friday. I was happy to see that the entire intimate restaurant was open seating for happy hour, and the receptionist sat me at a booth immediately. Tip - If you prefer to dine alfresco there two exterior patios. There's a variety of mix drinks, bottle beer, and house wines discounted during happy hour, and they even offer their specialty drinks at $5.00 off their regular prices. In addition, there's a nice variety of HH food entrees that are served with generous portions We ordered sliders, salmon bites, chorizo nachos, and shrimp ceviche. Everything was yummy and the service from our friendly waiter was spot on. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here for happy hour and would definitely return here in the future. read more

Early dinner on a Saturday night. We were lucky to get a parking spot and a table. The place was packed and the music was pumping. Ordered the mango lemonade, which wasn't anything special. Didn't taste the mango at all; just lemonade. Ordered the Eggplant Burger with fries. It was a good size and delicious too. The brioche bun was soft and fresh and the slice of eggplant was generous. We had a great time. Ok, bye. read more

Another five-star experience! This review is specifically for my experience hosting a large party (25+ guests) on their patio. The manager, Kelli, was incredibly friendly and helpful from start to finish. He created special menus for our event and was so accommodating with our requests to bring a cake, set up a bouquet bar, and decorate the space. The owner, Danny, was as kind as ever and checked in on us throughout the evening to make sure everything was going smoothly. Our server, Karla, was fantastic! Attentive, organized, and did an amazing job taking care of such a large group. As for the food, every single guest had something positive to say. Everyone commented on the generous portions, nice presentation, and incredible quality. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Hosting a party for this many people can be stressful, but the entire team made it effortless. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and outstanding food made the evening truly special. I wouldn't hesitate to host another event here, and I highly recommend them for both a great meal and any special occasion! read more

My group of friend we to Luna Bistro Cafe last night and wanted to share our experience. We opted to sit on the outside patio as it was a bit loud inside. The Spanish Shrimp and Mussel to start were wonderful but sadly did not get a picture. It goes well with the Guacamole and Chips. The Salmon Al pastor and it had great flavor. I loved the flavor of the blackened honey glaze salmon. The steak tacos were good, a little messy to eat and fell apart but full of good tasting ingredients. The Enchiladas is also delicious. We finished off the meal with the flan. I've never been one that loves flan but I couldn't stop eating it. The berries, nuts and glaze on the plate paired with the flan was delish. I definitely think this is a great spot, such a cool venue and great outdoor space. My only criticism was the service. It was very spotty. I do think they are understaffed but we understand. read more

The ambiance is nice - makes you feel like you are in Tulum. Plenty of parking .... Lots of seating including outdoor & pet friendly. They were doing their social media postings so lots of filming. Food is good . Happy hour menu is great, along with the lengthy hour 2-5:30!! The service is horrible! It's the second time we've had the same girl and she is slow. When you see your drinks sitting at the bar well for 10 minutes & then need to ask them and still need to wait ... it's also poor service when they bring two of three meals and we wait for the third for 10 more minutes still waiting also for our drinks...... also waiting for our ceviche. The restaurant was not busy nor was it crowded. Usually the waitress ask if you'd like anything else before happy hour ends but ours did not . Don't think this is a go back to place if we do we will ask not have her be our waitress. read more

This review is for their brunch menu! Came here on a Saturday morning at 11am and it wasn't busy yet which was great because my friend and I got sat right away. The restaurant itself gives off very much Tulum vibes! Very boho with lots of cute greenery plants! Really loved the aesthetics of the place! I ordered the spam and egg fried rice and my friend got the chorizo and egg Benedict. Both plates delicious. Although I would have loved more spam with my fried rice. I'm Filipino and I love spam! lol..Overall I give the food 8/10! Definitely a good spot for a date or a brunch with the gals. Did see multiple groups of girls enjoying a few mimosas here and there! Place had good vibes. Staff were friendly. I would like to come for an evening dinner here and was told that sometimes they have live music! So I'll definitely return. read more

I have to write another review to talk about Luna Bistro's happy hour!!!! First as always, the ambiance, the cleanliness, the customer service is always excellent! Now let's talk about the food. The crispy fish tacos are fresh, crunchy and flavorful at a great price. The slaw on those tacos and the fish itself were perfection. The carnitas sliders with the soft bun and flavorful meat are a winner. The pork on the sliders are well seasoned and cooked to perfection without being wet or too dry. The edges of the meat have a slight crunch. DO NOT PASS UP THESE HAPPY HOUR MENU ITEMS!! We also tried the crunchy beef tacos. Well seasoned ground beef, cheese, fresh lettuce with the seared corn tortilla were delicious. They tasted like you were at someone's home eating mama's homemade tacos. My only complaint were the drinks. I am a light weight so one drink and I'm done. I ordered the Pineapple Paloma. I did not taste the liquor and it did not have a pineapple flavor. The best thing about my drink was the Tajin on the rim of the glass. My husband ordered the Blanca Paloma. It tasted like a light fruit water. Again , it was watered down. My hubby also ordered a margarita which surprisingly tasted a lot like the Blanca Paloma but you could tell it had a little more liquor. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures. I love this place and will be back for happy hour. I will just order a soft drink instead. read more

Finally made it to Luna! With no reservation on a Friday night, we were able to get a seat on the patio within minutes of arrival. It worked great for us as the inside was full, loud, and had a band playing. Outside was chill and enjoyable. A rather extensive menu made deciding what we wanted a bit tough. In the end, we were happy with our choices and eager to explore more the menu. Presentation of all items (both food and drinks) were fantastic! Luckily flavor matched. Cool vibe, both inside and out, providing an ideal dining experience depending on your preference. read more

Luna Cafe is such a beautiful spot! From the moment we walked in, the place had such high energy and a great vibe. It honestly made me feel like I was in Tulum. We sat outside on the patio, which was beautiful and added to the whole experience. The food was delicious, with generous portions and a great variety of options. Everything we ordered was really good, and there was something for everyone. Our server, Kirby, was also amazing! She was so fun, high-energy, and full of good vibes. She was attentive without being overbearing, friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely made the experience even better. She really took care of our party. Thank you! Highly recommend checking out Luna Cafe if you're in Long Beach. I'd absolutely come back again! read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. They have a lot of seating options at the bar, high tops, or at their outdoor patio. Ambiance was trendy and inviting, music was played but not too loud to where you can't hear conversation. Service was friendly and attentive, our waitress was really sweet! I got the grilled shrimp gobernador tacos- so good, 10/10 recommend. My boyfriend got the salsa verde carnitas omelette- he loved it as well. We also shared an order of salmon bites (came with about 10) and I recommend this sharable as well- packed with salmon and not too much breading and the sauce was delicious! Definitely will be coming back again! read more

Me and some of my sorority sisters went here to celebrate our chapter anniversary. We had an area on the back patio, which was absolutely perfect.

We tried this restaurant when someone else recommended it. It was impressive for the first 10 minutes. We were greeted and seated quickly. A very kind young man came over to take our order for drinks and appetizers. He said our server was very busy but wanted us to get orders in. HE WAS RIGHT! It took about 10 minutes to get our drinks and wings. After that it was all down hill. Our server took another 30 minutes to take our food order AFTER the kind young man had just left from taking our order. The chicken wings, Margarita, and beer were delicious. The dinner was average, I had a chicken sandwich and it was blah, and the fries were warm at best. My friend had spicy shrimp fried rice. The shrimp will go home for tomorrow's breakfast. It took another 30 minutes to have the kind young man ask if we were ready for the bill and a box for the shrimp. 5 minutes later, our server shows up. What's so strange is she was super sweet but so very disconnected from our needs. We said we would return and sit at the bar. It seemed they had better service. But we won't order meals because the $80 would be wasted. It's a chill vibe and had a nice decor. I wouldn't recommend sitting in a booth where the server ignores you. read more

Luna Bistro Cafe - The best thing about my first time was the Cadillac Margarita. - New American Near Me - Long Beach, California

This place transported me back to Tulum. The atmosphere felt like a vacation. The music, the drinks, the food, and the staff were all excellent. We ordered the salmon bites, Baja fish tacos with rice and beans and the seafood pasta. The salmon bites were good but just slightly dry/over cooked. The sauce on the side made them slightly better. The Baja tacos were amazing. The toppings (including the salsa on the side) were the perfect mix of savory, sweet, and spicy. The pasta had a good amount of protein/ seafood and great portion size for leftovers. I went on a Saturday evening so there was live music on the inside and a TV + music playing on the outdoor patio. This place offers great vibes and great food. I recommend it if you're in the Long Beach area. Try to make reservations ahead of time because it gets crowded at night. read more

Visited Luna twice while I was in Long Beach and a great spot for Happy Hour. Received excellent service from both Natalie and Carla during my two visits. The cocktails are nicely crafted, great for photos, but on the lighter side, as far as alcohol goes. I tried the Pineapple Paloma, Mezcalita, and Paloma Blanca. The Happy Hour food was incredible! I tried the Carnitas tacos and the Baja fish tacos and they were both exceptional. I had to take a few things off, due to an allergy, so you will also get pico, and salsa on top as well. I would love to try more items on their Happy Hour menu, as well as their regular menu. The space is open, inviting, and we sat outside for perfect afternoon experiences. read more
