    Food: 9/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 20/10!!! This is a review for their happy hour experience, which was PHENOMENAL. The service was on point. The interior design is immaculate and makes you feel like you're transported to Tulum or another coastal Mexican city. And the food is a tad salty but overall incredible.

    Ceviche was bomb
    Lucy T.

    The atmosphere was really cute! The server was very nice The ceviche was delicious and spicy! I ordered the shrimp tacos and they had the best flavor! The tacos were a little bit spicy and cooked to perfection with the best salsa. I was impressed with the salad because it had cranberries and walnuts with a delicious vinaigrette. This is a great place to go to as a group or on a date!

    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.

    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.

    Natalie is the BEST.

    Met family to watch the World Cup USA vs Australia game. The patio seating was nice. Large TVs, plenty of tables and umbrellas for shade. Ordered several starters: eggplant Parmesan bites, wings, minis smash sliders (my favorite), tacos and fish sandwich w/ side of lentils. Nice vegetarian options! Server was attentive and right amount of checking in with us.

    My Niece took me here for a birthday celebration on an early Wednesday evening! It was not too overwhelmingly busy and with reservations we were seated outside promptly. It was very nice and there was heat lamps that gave use an additional comfort and the view of the surrounding neighborhood was pleasant and peaceful. It's been a while since I was there so I don't remember the names of our dishes but I've included the pics and let me just say that the food was delicious and the icing on the cake was the delicious drinks we had afterwards. I would definitely recommend this spot for a cute eclectic fusion cuisine, blending Latin American, Spanish, Italian, and Asian flavors. I will definitely be returning again.

    I've been here a few times and it is always a vibe! Wide selection on the menu with tasty food and cocktails. Very nice indoor and patio space. Plenty of parking in the shopping center lot. Good service. Came here on a Thursday evening and enjoyed the live music! Definitely a new go-to if I'm in the area. Even just for a drink at the bar!

    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.

    Carnitas tacos
    Monica C.

    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.

    Definitely a hidden gem of sorts if you don't know about it. Amazing ambiance on the inside, great drinks, and what looks like some delicious food (I didn't try it this time). I'm really excited to come back to this place. At some point, the service was super friendly and fast, the drinks were good, and the ambiance was great! Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4.33/5

    Piña colada

    Love this place! We went on a Thursday night for a late dinner. There was a band playing and the place was packed. Lots of parking but we had to circle around a few times to find a spot. Great vibe in the place and if you want something a little quieter, head out to the patio. We had some chicken wings as an appetizer, blackened salmon and an AMAZING Pasta Del Mar. The pasta dish was so tasty The drink menu did not disappoint! Lots of unique cocktails I had the pina colada and it was incredible.

    We came to try Luna Bistro Cafe on a weekday afternoon which happened to be their Happy Hour. There were some discounted food and drinks during this time. The interior is large, spacious, and very modern with a lot of cloud motifs. Service was fine, though our waitress completely forgot our water refill request. We ordered mini fish tacos off of the Happy Hour menu, plus salmon bites and The Favorite Salad from the regular menu. Everything was tasty though to me portions were just okay for the price. Presentation was definitely gorgeous though. The Mango Lemonade and Triple Berry Hibiscus drinks were tasty but a bit small for $6 considering they were non-alcoholic drinks. Overall, Luna is a bit on the pricier side but the atmosphere is elegant and refined while still not being uptight. The decor is truly beautiful inside so it's a visually stunning space to dine in, and I still really enjoyed my meal here.

    This place is honestly a joke…read more We waited in line for almost 2 hours while security kept people outside for no reason -- and when we finally got in, there was so much open space inside. It wasn't even close to full. They're clearly holding people outside on purpose to create fake hype, which is honestly pretty messed up. You're telling me dozens of people are stuck waiting forever while there's plenty of room inside? It's giving manufactured crowd and poor management. To make it worse, they stopped serving drinks and turned the lights on at 1:15 AM, way earlier than literally any normal bar. So after wasting hours in line, you barely even get time inside. And it somehow gets worse -- at 1:35 AM they were literally kicking people out of the restroom. We weren't even allowed to finish or wash our hands before being rushed out. That's not just rude, it's straight up unhygienic and disrespectful. Overall, completely overhyped, disorganized, and not worth the wait at all. Don't fall for the line -- it's fake.

Came here with a girlfriend for lunch and there were many cute group of teenaged girls celebrating their birthday, and why shouldn't they? The backdrops, pink furniture, outside cabanas and girly decor was to die for. It reminded me of the Beverly Hills Hotel vibe - pink and green. The staff were friendly as well! They shared items that were off the menu and gave great recs. We ordered the lobster roll (hot instead of cold) with a side of salad. I don't know if I was famished or if the food was that spectacular but I cleaned my plate. The lobster chunks were huge, great ratio of mayo and celery on a buttered toasted roll. The chopped salad was my favorite, not because it's moderation, but because it was fresh and light with a delicious vinaigrette, small chunks of cheese (was that cheddar or gouda?) and long strands of greens (was that kale?) that tied it all together very well. Most chopped salad elsewhere are meh (some chopped romaine with bacon, a few cherry tomatoes and a huge glob of ranch), but not here. I felt like having a good time so i ordered the Poison Ivy (not on the menu but recommended by staff since it's new). Think of a healthy green drink of celery, kale, ginger but with alcohol. It wasn't my favorite TBH...i think it lacked sugar.

    What a great spot tucked away in the UTC mall, really transports you to Spain. We sat in the patio…read moresection; tables were nice light wood, and we were surrounded by vegetation, giving off a very farm to table vibe. The mocktails were refreshing and balanced!!I was so glad they weren't to sweet. We indulged in the Sierra Sunset, which came on a light up coaster showing off the sunset colors. And also the Lychee's & Cream, which was my favorite. I think it was the use of the kaffir yogurt that really balanced the mocktail and set it apart. The tapas we had were the Salmon Tartar, Patatas Bravas (add crispy Jamon), and Wagyu Empanadas. The citru notes in the salmon tartar really made this dish sing to me; bouncing off the creaminess of the avocado mouse and the richness of the salmon, then finishing with the crunch of the tostada. The Patatas Bravas were nice and crispy, and toped with a creamy aoil then a spicy Bravas sauce with added a nice spice and depth to the dish. However, adding the crispy Jamon is definitely the way to go if you order this dish!! Those Wagyu Empanadas were just the right ratio of meat to dough. Then those Manchego cheese cracker not only are a nice crunch, but also bring a nuttiness that balances the richness of the meat and that succulent mole sauce. Next was the burrata bowl, another favorite of mine. This must have been a whole burrata ball spread out and topped with cherry tomatoes an herbal basil sauce and crunchy kale chips. They even have us some tostada chips to dip in this delicious burrata bowl. They have a whole pallela section under the main dishes, so of course we had to try this out. We went with the Paella Negra; squid ink, gulf shrimp, clams, scallops and broccolini, and of course we added the Iberian ham. This was so decadent and delicious. Definitely recommend topping it off with a squeeze of the lemon they provide you with, it complements the dish. The corrners of the rice were nice and crispy, while the center remind fluffy. Shrimp were cooked to perfection, the dolops of aoli complemented the side ink rice. The addition of the Iberian ham really brought a smokey and salty addition to this dish. To end the night we decided to indulge in the desert trio, this included churros, an orange Mochi, torrija and ice cream. The orange Mochi was light and delicious and definitely and Instagram-able dish. But the one that stole the show for me, was the torrija. Something I had never had before, nice rich brioche style pastry filled with a passion fruit cream.

    I have been to Tantalum in LBC many times, but its been a while. I can't believe I haven't…read morereviewed it until now. The most recent visit was to meet some biz associates to enjoy entrees & apps. We shared calamari ($24), mussels ($23), fried rice ($30), fries ($7), and a couple of 18 oz bone-in ribeyes ($68/each) [sorry, not all items puctured]. My crew of five (including me), liked the calamari and steak & fries. The calamari was tender, the steaks were grilled medium rare, and the fries were GBD. However, the shrimp in the rice and the mussels were not fresh. Luckily, no one got sick later. Regarding the ambiance, its spacious in here. However, the amount of people seemed light on a Fri night around 6-7 pm. Our waiter Jason and the rest of the team were super nice & attentive. We received fresh plates and steak knives (we ordered a second steak later during the meal). I'd return for a good time w/ a large group. The place accommodates big parties well, and the service is really good. Nonetheless, keep in mind the food is hit & miss, and the prices are on the high side.
