    Started with a coconut margarita, which was a great starter to the meal. The server accommodated to my daughter’s gf and dairy free allergies (she had scallops and Duck along with Brussel Sprouts). I had spicy rigatoni and the Chicken. Everything was excellent. Only thing that I would change is removing the breadcrumbs from rigatoni, next time. But still excellent.

    I wanted to have a nice dinner before New Years while I had my adult kids home and Cafe Luna did not disappoint! I had been there for lunch a few times and knew the food was good but hadn’t been for dinner in quite some time. As soon as we walked in we knew we made the right decision. The ambience was perfect and the food was amazing. The bonus of the evening was we got to watch a wedding proposal at another table. The entire restaurant and staff were applauding. Just an overall feel good evening.
