“We went to the Grand Cru on December 19th for a special dinner. The decor is relaxing but elegant and it is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Some people had the seafood fetuccini and said it was the best they have ever had. The rack of lamb was also perfectly done. They were accomodating for gluten free dietary requirements. We will be back.“

“Feeling blue? Bar Luna has the answer to all your woes, with tacos and handhelds of the food in a blanket variety, I had the al pastor pork tacos with their spiciest offerings of in house hot sauce (hot enough to melt the tastebuds right off your tongue!) washed down with the Blue Island Iced Tea (with edible candied orange slice!) The perfect spot, nestled away in the quiet corners of Nanaimo BC 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area, looking for a classy, comfortable, warm and inviting environment with all the tasty tacos and fixings for a spice aficionado like myself!“

Our server Dani was genuinely very warm, caring and friendly. The manager Sean was really great too. Rachel at the hostess podium was very nice as well. It was a very good experience thanks to these three awesome staff members.

We will be back for sure and we will try to be seated in Dani's section for our future reservations. Thank you Dani!“
