Overall the experience was pretty good. Service was good, it was a bit hectic when it started to pick up. I had the GOAT burger - the bun was fresh and delicious, goat cheese was very little and you couldn’t taste it, but it’s the name of the burger… the patty was plenty in size, but very dry and didn’t do Eickman’s meat any justice. The fries were outstanding. The Filipino Chicken Adobo was very delicious, the egg and sauce were perfect together. Chicken was perfectly cooked. The Lumpiang Shanghai was a great starter to the meal. The Ube cheesecake was ok, but not very flavorful. The Aluna Water was surprisingly refreshing and worth the $10. I haven’t been here since it changed brands, overall decent experience and would try again when not so busy for an event.

This establishment has a cozy and pleasant ambiance. However, the food was not impressive; the portions were small, and my lumpia was undercooked and required recooking. The staff were friendly and patient, and the service was excellent. They graciously removed the affected dish from the bill. While we were disappointed with the food, we might consider returning for the service or maybe their liquor selection, as they have a bar. We apologize for expressing our disappointment.

Really disappointed with this place :( went for Valentine’s Day and the money was just not worth the food.

Food was just lukewarm and portions were small for a 4 course pre fixed

Wait staff was nice but just so disappointed with the portion size/bill

27 Aluna hits a Homerun every time I or others I recommended enter the doorway for a culinary night out.
As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with smiling faces eager to make your dining experience the best it can be. Reservations are recommended as it can fill up quickly during peak dining hours on any night of the week.
The chef, Patrick Alberto, is a master of his craft. I have dined at Michelin stared restaurants in parts of the world, and the food here warrants a close look to be included in that echelon. The freshness of the food is apparent in look, smell, and taste. The authentic spices, seasonings, and techniques used on the creation of dishes on the menu elevate the food coming out of the kitchen.
The General Manager Nina makes her mark running the front of the house. She makes an excellent cocktail and coffee beverage. She puts the smile in "Service with a smile," keeping up with a high standard of service. Everything moves like clockwork with the plates leaving the kitchen hot, glasses never empty, and attention to detail on point.
Tonight, I started with basil Vodka infused lychee cocktail, followed by the Lechon Kawali Bao, and for my main course, the Filipino Chicken Adobo. All were presented excellent on the plate and would dance on anyone's fine dining palate. I will continue to be a happy returning customer.

Vegetarian options: Chef Patrick can pivot most dishes to accommodate.

Dietary restrictions: Chef Patrick can pivot the menued dishes to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Parking: There is plenty of free parking on street and in the city lots after 5pm. Before 5pm you get 1-3 parking time free before having to relocate your car to another space.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entire location is accommodating to anyone with movement restrictions.

Sat at the bar and had a lovely lunch with the bar manager and tried some delicious mocktails. Got the vegetarian option and it was phenomenal as well. 10/10 love

Vegetarian options: A few salads were either fully vegetarian or could be made vegetarian. Highly recommend the tofu lunch option though

First time visit, for pick up, since the name change and new menu.
We called the order in and when I came through the door I was welcomed immediately. I told them my order name and I waited while they finished putting it together. The place was refreshed once Patrick took over ownership and it looks great! Great style with a model vibe.
The staff was friendly and engaging while I waited.
At home, we found our meals to be very flavorful and good portions! I had the big daddy smash burger and my wife had the salmon rice bowl. We also had a side of the egg rolls. It was wonderful!
Julie and I were full! I look forward to working through the menu!

The manager, Nina, previously did a great job at listening to my complaint during the busy lunch rush. I appreciate her professionalism and two way communication. The food here is great and they make great cocktails.

The food was amazing. My son said it was one of the best meals he has had in his life. The bartender made a great Smokey tequila drink with whipped egg whites. We will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!
