The owner was rude and embarassed me in front of my family and half the restaurant for entering his fine dining establishment wearing a "chapeau" (hat). I had to refrain from addressing the issue for the sake of my brother-in-law, who hosted the outing and recommended the restaurant. Having a dress code is fine, but there are ways to implement one without mortifying your patrons. Not to mention the fact that it comes across as pedantic when the small sign hidden behind the hostess podium reads, "Please gentlemen, no hats or ... read more
Had a wedding to go to at Cafe Luna on Saturday afternoon. I was looking to get some directions to the place and ran into the reviews here on CitySearch. Oh boy! I was hoping the reviews were bogus because Brian and Wendy didn't deserve having their nuptuals in a place with horrible service and food. The reviews I read cited horrible service and worse food but things couldn't have been more different. The service was awesome, servers were very nice, and they payed attention to all our needs. The food was absolutely incredibl... read more
Great disappointment! – We had a terrible experience at Café Luna. The place is located in an "OK" space with decent lighting and layout but the ambiance suffers as most of the patrons are NOT smiling (I wonder why) the staff are grumpy and management idiotic. In any business endeavor the way the employees behave always comes from the head. We and the couple next to us felt like we were not wanted there, we were a burden, and they were (from the su-chef, to the manager, to the hostess, to the server) too important and too bu... read more
Normal Noodles – Poopy mussles, lightly chilled bread, something that resembled frozen ravioli, and thin flat tasteless steak on a bed of little hashbrowns. Every mussle was full of a big glob of poop! No wonder why they were on "special"! Atmosphere was good, great location but we will not be going there again.
Don't go here if you are celebrating a special ocassion – On March 3rd my wife and I went to Cafe Luna for our anniversary. We choose Cafe Luna based on reviews we read on City Search. I learned a valuable lesson. Don't beleive everything you read. From the very beginning the experience was a disappointment. Upon making the reservation we were told that we would be given a nice table. The first table they tried to sit us at was in a corner behind another couple and the only way in was to squeeze past the other dinners. We se... read more
Great Italian cafe experience! – I had a great meal here, rigatoni with chicken and spinach in a cream sauce. A big portion, enough to take home for another meal! Service was excellent, very attentive and friendly, even a perfect wine suggestion. I would definitely return.
Recommended Downtown Raleigh Italian – Pros: Taste - The food is wonderful. Great taste and menu variety. What was supposed to be hot was hot, cold was cold. Great tasting Italian dishes. Value - The value on events and dinner is pretty good. I say value is good because the food is much nicer than an "Olive Garden" but does not charge a premium. Event service - The events manager and service is great and easy to work with. Wait staff - Very attentive, informed, and experienced. Atmosphere - Trendy and classic styling. A tiny... read more
OMGosh!! The food was excellent, and also had wedding – Well, first off, I had my wedding and reception at Cafe Luna, and the service, food, and staff was excellent. The price is ver. reasonable to have a wedding and/or reception at Cafe Luna and the atmosphere of Cafe Luna is wonderful. The dark, rich hardwood floors are beautiful and the details of the rooms are beautiful. Ryan and the other staff there were very nice and planned my event without a hitch. A few weeks after the wedding Cafe Luna sent us a 50.00 certificate ... read more
Hosted my wedding – I can't say enough good things about this place. Ryan is the events coordinator there, she was wonderful. She answered ALL of my questions via email and phone up until my big day. She was very flexible in accommodating anything I wanted. On the day of my wedding, the staff set up everything. All I had to do what drop my decorations off a couple of days before with directions. They also served the food, and I'm still hearing about how good everything was from my guests. The staff was so pleasant and above ... read more
