“On a day date with my husband, we set off in search of coffee and we stumbled across Lunada. It opened up just as we walked across their front porch. We decided to have a glass of wine or cocktail before moving on.

After seeing the menu, my husband decided we were staying for fillets. I am so glad we did. The mixed drinks were fantastic and the filets, absolute perfection.

The atmosphere was one that offers a sophisticated dining experience high-quality service, but without the formality and strictness associated with fine dining. It is definitely a place where you can relax and enjoy a delicious meal without feeling a rigid formality you might in other places.

We decided to sit in the garden and it was peaceful and relaxing. There is also indoor seating if that’s more your pace. Or if the weather is not cooperative.

The weight staff was friendly and welcoming.

Would definitely recommend two friends and family in the area and we will be back!“

“We just happened to be staying in town on Valentine’s Day and they had a special set menu. Ohhh so good, we got the scallops, salad and desert. I could literally live on the salad. The risotto was so good! We ate upstairs and it was really cozy with the heaters and the nighttime atmosphere. The bar was lively and fun, our service was a bit slow but everything is so fresh! I can understand it is made to order. My only complaint, I’m so sorry but, I am a spicy Bloody Mary “snob” and the one here was not good at all. But that’s it! We loved everything else. Now to the owners who reply to reviews, I would have come here with all 1 star reviews just from reading your replies!!! Whoever you are I spent an hour reading reviews and your priceless replies! I adore you 😂 But honestly, really good food and very fun and great atmosphere. Back sooner than later♥️“

“Has a beautiful view of the bay. Went to try the chowder everyone raves about. The clam chowder was rich and creamy and so good. My husband tried the roasted red pepper soup which was good as well. I had the baja fish tacos. Huge amount of food and very good. My husband had the ribs. They were ok. The cole slaw just not so good. Alot of french fries and they were good. The bread served with the soup and ribs was so very good, great flavor. Disappointed because when the soup was brought out, the server told us the rest of our order was ditting under a heat light until we were ready. We actually had to call the restaurant to have the server bring thre rest of our food. So while the food was decent, the service could be improved. May go back for the chowder and to try a burger.“

“Nice place but... We visited this beautiful restaurant on July 30th For drinks and appetizers. We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely, the food was delicious and the wine very enjoyable. We recognized that we were seated at the table for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours so we continued to order appetizers and dessert while we were enjoying our wine and we also planned on leaving a generous tip. Toward the end of our stay as we were ordering our final glass of wine and dessert and were told by the waitress that she could not serve us anymore alcohol and and it has something to do with the ABC but she could not explain exactly what the issue was. Being in my 60's and never being denied service in my entire life, I was quite taken aback. We were served the dessert but no more alcohol. We paid our bill and walked down the street to another establishment where we continued to have our final glass of wine and watch the sunset and then walk back to the hotel. I'm still baffled by what occurred.“

Fun to eat outside on the patio while watching live music or golfers (depending on the day), or to eat inside watching sports on the large screen TVs. My husband generally gets the rib eye, and I have a few different favorites.“

“We wanted a fairly light, casual meal and went to Windows on the Water, which turned out to be the perfect place for us tonight. There are many tables and chairs outside overlooking the boat slips but we sat inside because the breeze was too chilly for us. It's simply furnished with wooden tables and chairs. The menu is huge with an amazing number of choices in many varieties. We each started with a cup of their very good clam chowder. Then my wife had a Mexican shrimp cocktail and I had the Mahi Mahi tacos. Both were very good and way too large for either of us to finish. Service was excellent. Very good waiter. We've been there before and will definitely go back. Recommend it highly.“
