“My wife and daughter and I went to Luna's yesterday, as my wife grew up in Lake Charles and said that Luna's was THE local hangout when she was growing up. With good reason, I found out. The restaurant was a delight. The food was amazing (I had a fantastic hamburger and a really good salad), and the atmosphere made me smile (all around us, throwback posters and paintings from 80s music and 90s movies). Plus the wait staff was very friendly. If you're looking for a good restaurant to do dinner with family and friends, this is the place to go.“

“We had a great experience dining here on 6/3/23. The dozen oysters on the half shell were very tasty. My husband had the catfish and commented on how it was the best he has had in a very long time. I had the burger and fries and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for accommodating all my food allergies. It’s difficult but you all really tried and I appreciate it very much. Finally, we had great service from Brook and enjoyed eating on the patio. Keep up the great work. Food service is a grueling job but you all did it so effortlessly!“

“I AM BLOWN AWAY. THIS PLACE HAS EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE, BEAUTIFUL atmosphere. Feels like we were back in a Yosemite lodge. Woodsey chic. Pricey, yes, but worth it. A huge advantage over Ruth's chris in Lafayette by a long shot. Our server, a man from Jennings, amazing service.
The old fashioned was perfect and i asked for margino cherries and he added them 😀
THE CRAB CAKE, LAMB LOLLYPOPS, CHOCOLATE molten cake, foigras was top notch! The bread basket and butter, unreal. (I am not a huge foodie or an obese piggy, no offense, just can't fimd anything but over seasoned cajun food in lafayette)
Big, beautiful fireplace . We decided that we would make the drive just for dinner from Breaux Bridge! When living in so California wed drive to Los Angeles for a good meal frim the valley..so 1.5 hr drive for goos food like this, definitely...“

“It is always so unbearably cold in there. We bring sweaters etc, but last night I shivered through my meal being unable to enjoy it. And the waiter was rushing us through the meal. Arrived at 515p out by 540p. The food is always delicious but the atmosphere killed it. Very fast loud music, difficult to hold a conversation at the table.“

“We've been here a few times for lunch and dinner. The crawfish is some of the best you'll ever have in Louisiana! But the womens restroom has been disgusting both times. Every stall dirty with stains on the walls, floor, mirrors, and toilets. Minimal soap and paper towels. We came three weeks apart- bathrooms looked the same on the second visit as they did the first. Not sure they had been cleaned since our first visit. If you're going for crawfish you will happy just maybe find somewhere else to clean up afterwards!“

“Did not order food but loved the place it self , I loved the Variety of music on each level, from the live band to the great dance beats. They also have a pool hall next door that's got it own bar and it's a chiller quieter area which is great if you want to take a break from all the partying next door. Highly recommend ?? ?? ??

Parking: On busier nights you'll have to park down the street if you don't get there early, but worth it.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes but don't remember where and not sure if there's access to the upper floors. I'd call ahead to confirm.“

“I have been on the hunt for a reliable Indian food restaurant out in our area for quite a while, while my fiancé can handle food with heat, I can’t! It was tricky to find a place that reliably could make tasty and mild dishes until we found Taj Mahal. We try to get dinner here once a week and it’s always fantastic- made just the way we order it heat wise, super tasty, very large portions and great service. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out! Check out the mild chicken korma if you want to venture into Indian food but are afraid of it being too spicy. Great place!!“

“My server tonight was by far the best server I have had in a long time. Her name was Katie and she had such a wonderful personality and was very easy to talk to and extremely attentive. My food came out cold and she immediately made sure it was fixed with fresh hot food within minutes and not once did a smile leave her face. In such a high stress environment it can be hard to maintain positivity but she is the embodiment of what a good waitress should be! She deserves recognition for the hard work and good job that she does. Katie was helpful in every way and made sure that we had everything we needed to have a good dinner this evening. I am truly appreciative of her and will definitely be back to this location because of her! Thank you Katie!“
