Both the pulled pork and beef brisket were excellent. After living in NC for years, it was some of the best I've ate in a long time. The staff were wonderful too. Great experience. read more

Im so glad we finally went to Luna Sea. It was my bday and I wanted seafood. We came late afternoon before the crowd and were served by a very nice waiter and bar tender Joe. Its locally owned 27 years and they have leveled up with their food choices. We had the nachos, crab dip, burger, and shrimp tacos. 10/10 food! Mocktails and cocktails soo yummy! The place turns into a great venue spot in their back deck and ooen front bar which makes you feel like your in another world. Very awesome, we cant wait to go back! Specials during the week and they even do brunch on sundays! New fav spot. read more

The place was a go to earlier in the night. The cornhole setup was great. The drinks were a good price. The place gets full on college age customers after 11pm which made it less than desirable. Some of the guys were spitting off the balcony onto people playing cornhole below. The bartenders were friendly but served mixed drinks only college kids could drink. I would recommend if you know what you are in for. Younger crowd would definitely give it 5 stars. I read more

I really don't get the high of this place. It used to be very popular when it started, but now it's just really full of people during the weekends. Really hard to get orders and drinks. Smells like beer and sweat. Music is OK, just hard to hear because of the people talking around you. read more

My friend and I have been trying to come for brunch at Lunasea for a while and finally were able to after a nice Yoga session Their brunch menu isn't huge but they have a nice selection of favorites: French toast, breakfast burrito, Monte Cristo sandwich, etc. They also serve from their extensive lunch menu during brunch and have salads, entrees, loads of sandwiches and other items. My friend ordered the Cuban and it was HUGE and looked delicious. Served with crispy steak fries. Yum. Her portion was also huge so she ate half her sandwich and took the rest home. I chose the breakfast burrito loaded with cheese, eggs, ham and pico and served with breakfast potatoes. The burrito was HUGE and I ate like half and a little more and was full for hours. Really good price and great portion. Service was excellent and they weren't very busy despite the Neptune Festival weekend so, we were able to sit on the patio and then see the back area (which was closed) and get a feel for when they have music or events. Very friendly people and very cool vibes and decor with an excellent menu. Definitely going to have to come back here for music and try to sit in back. It's huge - it goes back like half the city block. read more

Went here around 9:30 pm on a Thursday after an event and there was no one there. This was great for us because we had no wait time and could order immediately. I've been here before so I already knew I wanted the nachos again, unfortunately we did ask for no olives or tomatoes, but they were put on anyways. The waitress did apologize though. They were good (8/10). Had a long wait on the drinks like my last visit, but it still tasted good: I had the Havana Banana (8/10). It was beginning to rain outside so we didn't get to listen to the live band. Still keeping this place on my go to spot list for when I'm out the oceanfront. Two drinks and Nachos came out to $41. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10 read more

The scallop BLT is the most amazing sandwich I have ever tasted. This place is a Hidden gem; literally with seven secret bars in the back

Such a nice dinner! The fish tacos and crab cakes were divine. Hand made at the table guacamole was delicious. Service and ambience perfect.

This was such a fun place! Loved the outdoor area. Came for an event and it was really fun. I did not order any food but some friends did and everything looked delicious. I went to the bar to order a drink. It took a little while to get service but once I did the bartender was very friendly and the drink was delicious and reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here next time I'm in Virginia Beach. read more

Excellent food and service. Loved the tour by Kevin of this amazing space! Well done, sir!

My friend and myself got thrown out because we ordered crab cakes and did not like it! We offered to even pay for it and order something else but they told us that they were in transition in the kitchen ! So we ordered some drinks to buy time to see how long the transition is . They shut us down kicked us out when we asked to buy more food While other people were walking in . So basically im afraid to say black peoples money isn't the same as white peoples money in this day and age! Sad times discrimination and basically at its highest level read more

Overall, it was a good experience, but the food was just ordinary with nothing special. The ambiance and service were nice. We arrived very late and hungry, and since they were open and not busy, we decided to give it a try. read more

They denied us service because we stated we did not the pan sear crab cakes!

I usually have fun here but the bartenders can be rude. I've been here a few times and one time, I tried to order a Hurricane and the bartender went on a minute long spiel about how he can't just make drinks that other bars have and that you can't just ask a bartender for some obscure drink just because local bars serve those. I've been a bartender, I've been to mixology school and a hurricane is a classic cocktail, like dude what? It's cool if you don't know how to make certain drinks, but to lecture me for an odd amount of time and treat me like I'm an idiot just made the rest of the night weird and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Another time, I attended and a member of my group was ordering and covering all of my drinks. I was feeling woozy, and went up to the bar a few times for some water. The bartender didn't seem to like that and said to me when I asked, "yeah well I'm at work, so you'll have to wait since you only want some water". Which, honestly, I can get on some level. I know you don't make any money off that, but frankly I had several drinks and I know for a fact the dude I was with was a decent tipper so it's not like I was some random cheapo not consuming anything from the establishment. He still gave me water and didn't take long, I'm not gonna lie but I just really disliked feeling like such a weirdo. It honestly wouldn't have bothered me if I didn't watch the bartender be so sweet and smiley and engaging to EVERYONE else who was trying to order. I don't know, maybe im just sensitive, I just wanted to give my honest take. Honestly, I have a great time when I go here for the most part, but it matters more the people you attend with and the DJ. The security is always kind, and most staff, but you can tell they hire random dudes as bartenders and if you're not a hot skinny young thing, or a drunk dude with your black card out, don't expect much from the bartenders. read more

My favorite place in VA Beach for night life. It's beautiful inside at night with the lights. Plenty of bars so you're not stuck waiting for drinks for too long. Great DJs. There was a QR code where you could request songs and tip the DJ. My group had a blast. read more

All I can say is if you are thinking about going to Lunasea, go somewhere else. My husband and I had a very unpleasant dinner and drinks. Our service was good and our waitress apologized for the long wait, the cold food, the flies in the dish, the weak drink with melted ice but the manager simply shrugged and said "It's a busy night." Enough said. read more

I'm unsure why this place has just ok reviews . Visited Thursday for my birthday and it was fantastic ! For starters the host kat was very friendly very welcoming and all about making sure we were comfortable and Steven our server was amazing as well ! Drinks were good food was nothing short of delicious ! Do yourself a favor , ignore the just ok reviews and check them out ! read more

Great vibe , absolutely beautiful . The drinks were a bit over priced compared to other bars. They had two DJs on a Saturday night but not a lot of people dancing ,this was sept so maybe just not in season. It was a beautiful place to relax with a group of friends. read more

We are having a girl's trip to VA Beach and stumbled upon this place after a round of mini golf. The place had a funky welcoming vibe. Our waitress Hannah was friendly and put up with our rowdy group. We had some appetizers of crab dip, tableside guacamole and the best conch fritters I have ever had.You could taste the conch. Our party really enjoyed the crab dip which had real crab and was cheesy goodness. Our entire party really enjoyed our food. We would go back again . read more

Went on a Sunday for a beach walk with my dog and randomly found the restaurant. Very welcoming and kind woman up front. She took care of my dog by bringing her a bowl of water and a bandana. Outside seating gave me a chance to dine with my dog. I ordered a crab dip which was pretty good. The crab dip was topped with cheddar cheese, didn't really like that but was still decent. The chips were very crunchy and light. Fish tacos were great with all the other toppings on the side. Not sure if pinto beans were an option since I'm not a fan of black beans, it was good nonetheless. Topped it off with a Bloody Mary. Decent size bacon with three olives and celery. Overall nice lunch. The only con the really bugs me is that they already include 18% tip automatically. I believe that's my discretion/choice to tip according to my appreciation of service, you just don't demand tip like that. And I was by myself. read more

I always try to give a honest overall review of all the factors in place. 1.) The overall service was GREAT 2.) Cost for food GOOD 3.) Food & quality leaves a lot to be desired ! ! ! My buddy and I stopped in Sat 3/8/2025 at 11:30 am for breakfast. We were the only 2 there. I ordered 2 eggs sunny side up with sausage, hashbrowns and white toast. When my order arrived the eggs were over not sunny side up. After a short discussion they corrected the egg problem. I asked for jelly or jam for the toast. I was told they no longer offer either. Then asked for butter. First whoever heard of having toast and jelly or jam wasn't available. The butter was so dam hard you couldn't spread it on the toast without destroying the bread to pieces. The sauage was partly raw in the middle and the potatoes were hard and salty. I ate the 2 eggs and half of 1 sauage and left the rest as to me it really wasn't worth eating and was awful. When the barmaid came by and asked how was everything, I told her it was one of the worst breakfasts I ever had and she said she was sorry to hear that and took my plate with 3/4 of it still on it away. When I got my check she was happy to inform me that they had taken 3 dollars off the bill. Big deal ! If this is all you do for creding a meall that sucked then this is not a place I nor my family will come to again. To bad they did such a nice job on the renovation to serve poor food. Just my opinion ! ! ! read more

Omg!!!The food is soooooo good and the let us pick the music Taylor swift to exact and the waiters are so nice!

My mother and I were wondering around VA Beach and found this little slice of paradise. The service was fantastic. The restaurant itself is way bigger on the inside than perceived from the street. The food was fantastic. I will definitely be returning. read more

I love this place! Too bad our last visit was so terrible. I previously reviewed and what a night/day difference. Before going I checked their website for any info on restrictions, etc. and it's the same as it has been for years. Wife and I went for brunch on Sunday, at noon. I love breakfast, she prefers lunch so we went later and sat at the bar. One other person and the bar tender. We ordered drinks, I got the carafe and bottle of champagne for mimosas, wife wanted the bloody mary bar but of course covid has removed that (website update required), but got the bartender special. First issue, the BM was rimmed with salt not the old Bay as described on the menu, lemon ring and 2 olives. Strike #1. The menu was shorter than usual [expected] but there were absolutely no lunch items! We asked if there was a regular menu and were told not yet (dinner?), so Strike #2. More on my thoughts later. So the wife decided not to eat, and ordered a second BM with Old Bay this time. bartender said they didn't have Old Bay but had a sweet chili powder that she could use, so she opted for that. *look at the drink menu and note all the references to Old Bay. If you're out, swing by Wal-Mart and grab a few cans so you can make the drinks as described. I ordered the crab con queso benedict and it seemed most appealing to me. Arrived after a longer time than expected since the place wasn't jamming and how long does it take to toast a muffin and cook over easy eggs? When it arrived there was a small pile of potatoes and a massive amount of queso [yum] covering the ham (no pic, sorry). I wanted to check for the egg cook and lifted the ham to find an untoasted english muffin. Not a lightly toasted muffin, but untoasted. The manager must have seen me inspecting so he asked if everything was alright. I showed him the muffin and he seemed perturbed and agreed that it wasn't the quality he expected. Took it away and offered me something else, so I opted for the breakfast fajitas. Strike #3. The fajitas arrived, bigger pile of potatoes that were warm and tasty. The tortillas were warm as were the eggs. The onions and peppers were't cooked enough, barely/aldente [everyone has different preferences on veggie cook- I like them soft and caramelized) and the sausage was flavorful. There was a cold plate of sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce(?) and salsa. Of note, the salsa was frozen, not cold but literally icey. Strike #4. We got a checkin from the manager again and when he asked how it was I asked if he wanted some truth/feedback, and he said yes. So I pointed out the cook on the veggies and the frozen salsa. The salsa was a problem it appeared. We finished eating and drinking and got the tab. 4% was automatically added to the tab. We said we would pay in cash so the bartender adjusted the bill. Be careful and check or bring cash so you don't support their choice of credit card providers. So, given the menu listed, how hard would it have been to have a few non-breakfast items available. a cheese burger should be a staple for any restaurant; there were fajitas, why not grill some chicken and swap out the eggs/sausage (fish tacos were on the dinner special sign - maybe some fish tacos too), the breakfast burrito and BLT could of had variations for lunch options and even a limited kitchen should be able to pull that off. I mean it is advertised as brunch not breakfast. I get all the challenges of staffing now, it is everywhere, but this just seemed like a lack of motivation/caring/creativity. Lunasea was a pretty solid place that we frequented, sadly the sun has set for us on their particular harbor. read more

We came here for a good time. We purchased 1 drink per person. After about 45 minutes later, we were asked to leave or purchase another drink. We were planning on purchasing another drink but took our time. Please note that we were still finishing our food. This place is very rude. They will ask you to leave if you don't buy a drink every 20 mins. read more

Lunasea was fantastic! The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, it's super hard to find that kind of service these days. The owner stopped to chat before we left and explained the restaurant's history (we said we had been there about 15 yrs ago). It was such a great experience! So glad they've stayed in business ..We'll be down to check out the back patio in the future! read more

We stopped by here because it was the closest place to grabbing lunch from where we parked. Most place didn't open until noonish on Sunday. We amazed by the service and atmosphere. The lunch and brunch menu selection was small, the only thing that was disappointing and that they were out of chicken. The tacos, burrito, and burgers was delicious but the grilled cheese was disappointing, it didn't even look like grilled cheese and was unappetizing. read more

Never went here for the good, so I decided to try it out. Boyy was it good. The drinks were delicious, and the tapas dishes tasted good. The mac and cheese, even though it was a side, is something I would of ordered all the time. The server was super nice and very attentive, excellent customer service. I decided to eat on the outside which gave a very nice relaxing vibe. The only downside was a auto 20% gratuity. But if every server provided the level of service as ours did, then i guess it fits well. read more

Doesn't look very big from the outside, but apparently there are multiple bars and a sandpit inside. Sitting on the patio facing 22nd st was nice. The menu is a bit mixed in terms of cuisine. Lettuce wraps with shrimp was good. Lettuce is the wrap replacing the flour tortilla, very low carb I guess. You also get black beans, tomato/onion mix, rice, sour cream, all served in separate little containers. They are quite good with presentation here. Shrimp Po Boy had a very large type of shrimp, fresh batter, served on a brioche bread. You get 5 or of these big style shrimps. Comes with fries. Also had the coconut shrimp, which have a really good coconut coating, with the flakes properly mixed in, not just sprinkled on top, served with a sweet chili (lime?) sauce. For dessert Key Lime Cheesecake, which was a bit too dense, could have been more airy, otherwise fine. Service was attentive, smiling and friendly, never had to sit and wonder where is she?!? The prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality. read more
