Lunas Bar & Grill

They could not/would not split a bill between different couples at a table. It made the payment at the end uncomfortable.

Great restaurant, good selection, salads, chicken enchiladas are off the wall! Fish tacos made with halibut, just amazingly delicious! Good food, I was although a little disappointed with their margaritas, small regular glass not served in a margarita glass, with no spice, just very plain, and no blended margaritas! Maybe a little pricy, but I will definitely return. Coustomer service was an average.

I went to Lunas Bar & Grill to meet some friends for dinner and everything was Excellent from the appetizers, cocktails and main entrees.

Have a great meal with friends. I had sausage and peppers. Excellent. Good size servings. Very attentive staff.

Service in this restaurant is what you would expect from a fine dining establishment. Food is incredible. Crab cakes, Ahi Tuna Stack, and Chicken Piccata are must haves and the pizza is done of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend you check out this place for yourself. I promise it’ll become one of your favorites.

My husband had the chicken and was very dry, i had chicken parm which was ok, they did nit tell us that we had a 3% charge fir using a credit card, who reads the bottom of the receipt which apparently is on there, if they would if said about the credit card charge then we would of had the option to pay cash . Do an automatic 20% tip snd 3% credit card charges

I went with family, we had a total of 5 people in our party, we didn’t even fill a regular size booth. However they charged us a 20% large party fee for having 5 people. On top of this, we sat down ordered our drinks, then a few minutes later ordered food, however we did not receive a single drink or even lemon (we asked the moment we sat down, and 3 other times) until AFTER our food arrived. I’ve never had my drink arrive after my food in my life. Ridiculously bad service for how much this establishment costs.

Their food is excellent; their menu is quite varied. The place and the décor are comfortable yet elevated.
I have yet to have any sour dishes there.

First, Violet looks like a very casual place. It is very expensive. The food and service were fine but at the end of the night when we got our check, there was a $5.95 fee (there were no split meals) This is not a tip nor was it the tax. I asked and no one could ever tell me what that additional fee was for. I called several times, and again no one could ever tell me what the fee was for. I don’t mind paying a fee if I know about it upfront, but pay for it after the fact and then no one be able to tell me what it’s for. Well we will never go back can spend $500 some place else. .

The shrimp was good

Had roasted chicken which was a little dry, I ordered a gray goose on the rocks. It was almost $18 for a shot of vodka. My wife had a well booze martini that was 1675. I don’t know about you folks, but these are Manhattan prices and we live in Indio!

The martini was great tho and my wife is picky about that. Bartender was very good. But I won’t go back and drink when I can buy a bottle for less than the price of two drinks

Food was a little pricey too

A case of (what I hope is not) selective service, plus some constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: This is not an accusation, this is just an observation. I have never played the race card in a restaurant or other service-based business EVER. I’ve never really seen a reason for discrimination in a business to ever happen, and quite frankly, I believe it’s practically nonexistent these days. However, this time around, it’s UNDENIABLE. Food was good, but service was terrible.

So me and my Latino party of 3 came here for the first time (we were the only Latino party in the restaurant). We were promptly seated and our drink orders were taken after ten minutes. “A bit timey” I thought, but I brushed it off. After 3 minutes, our drinks were served. Here is where it gets a bit odd: our server did not come back to take our order until 15-20 minutes later. All the server was checking up on other tables around us. In addition, they never came by to ask us if we wanted our drinks refilled in that time window. The funny part is, they were filling the glasses of other tables around us, and they weren’t even half-empty! Anyways, the server came to take our orders for the appetizers and the main dishes. Our appetizers weren’t served until 45 MINUTES later, and our main dishes weren’t served until MORE THAN AN HOUR LATER AFTER OUR APPETIZERS WERE SERVED. All while the people around us got their appetizers and main dishes in LESS THAN 10 MINUTES (I asked around to confirm). We also weren’t being checked up on. My party and I were like “ok what the hell is going on?” We had to remind the servers multiple times about our dishes.

After the food, we promptly and respectfully confronted staff. Our server made the excuse that the computer he was using wasn’t taking our orders. But all while he was serving his OTHER assigned customers! And he was using THE SAME DAMN COMPUTER! Quite frankly, it was one of the stupidest excuses I’ve heard.

Off topic: The place REEKED. The bathroom stunk BAD and the stench reached all the way to our booth. I could also hear adjacent booths complaining.

Been there multiple times but every time the female owner is up front as hostess, she makes you feel like they’re doing you a favor by consuming there. This last time I was there with my family she literally told us I will seat you in if you order quick because the kitchen is closing in such a rude manner. I am not speaking of the staff in general it is just her, she absolutely has no customer service and has no business being hostess regardless if she is the owner or not. As a local resident I wish them luck, but at this pace they will be losing customers. This is my last time trying to patronize this place.
