Love the New Luna Red

Luna Red is one of those places where I really which I could rate various components of the business individually. As Yelp does not allow this I will include it here.

• 5 Stars our Friendly Server
• 4 Stars Ambiance
• 5 Stars Food Presentation
• 2 Stars Chef/Kitchen
• 4 Stars Menu
• 3 Stars Taste

Our last visit to Luna was a mixed bag experience. Excellent, friendly, prompt service. I ordered a selection of cheeses and an appetizer. The server returned after a few minutes to announce the appetizer was not available. No problem we chose another.

A few minutes later the server came back to announce that one of the cheeses was not available an that the chef was recommending another, which I declined. The server appeared embarrassed but I was gracious and said it was not a problem.

The cheese plate arrived with my cheese and the declined "recommended" cheese, which was one I do not care for. Having served before I really preferred to be kind to the server who was by now a bit jittery.

We begin to enjoy our meal and now the appetizer shows up. WOW!

A bit confused by the whole experience but really enjoying our server we chose to simply enjoy. When the bill arrived I could see why "Chef" had insisted on the cheese I rejected as it was on my bill.

Bottom Line

Like the new digs and I'll be back but next time the "chef" can bite me.

After a nice meal at the Customs House I needed something sweet as I walked along the boardwalk so I dropped into this Ice Cream Parlor/Candy Store. Cute when you enter, homey, old-fashioned feel. BUT, that is where the old fashioned came to an end. The four girls behind the counter glanced my way but were too busy with the more important things in life than Customer Service to ever even greet me. The candy looked good, but needed to be re-stocked; again, the girls being paid to do such things were talking and not doing the job. I left, without candy and as I was dissed first class, FOUR TIMES in one visit I will probably call it good and not bother again.,

Bottom Line

Not returning
