We loved it here the last time we came on a Friday night. But when we came tonight on a Tuesday, it was unfortunately horrible service. It looked like a new bartender and a host trying to figure out how to make cocktails at the bar. They had us sitting at the bar for 10+ minutes before even greeting us. After asking for menus, she didn’t come back for another 10! So we decided to leave. Such a bummer because the vibes of the place are great.

Second baptism brunch I've attended here. The staff and food the last time were incredible but the staff this time were above and beyond incredible!! The food was very good and the place was extremely clean! Only issue I had was they put salad on top of each meal after serving a salad to start the meal. Didn't make much sense to me. But I still highly recommend this place!!! Too bad I could only give 5 stars to the service as it deserves 10!!!

Showering a friend in this place was beautiful and well done!

Food was so so good! Loved it. Service felt rushed but maybe because closing was an hour and half before closing. Not sure

I came here on Saturday night around 5 pm for dinner and the vibes were great. Beautiful restaurant with high ceilings and nice skylights. The food was presented so immaculately and tasted amazing. I got the short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. The potatoes were fantastic and the meat was great too. My husband got a pork chop and he said it was great, and I tried his brussel sprouts and mashed sweet potato and they were delicious too. On the pricey side but great spot for a date night or special occasion.

I went there with a couple of friends because I heard they were having a trivia/music night. It was a blast! Everyone was very friendly. Food was delicious. Will be going back regularly! Trivia night on Tuesdays from 7:00 to 9:00.

I usually order the Tuna Tartare when I’m here . It’s my favorite dish.

Horrible experience at this place, so many countless things went wrong from my chair breaking, to simple things like asking for sparkling water they brought still. Asked for medium steak they brought close to well done. Then the second round of drinks was not the drinks that we asked for. And not once did the manager who was present come over and apologize. We also told our waitress we were unhappy with the meal for the most part. The lobster dish came with what seemed to be a half of the tail and only one claw? Pretty cheap on their end for a nearly $300 Billz Not only would I never go back here but I would recommend that nobody goes here unless you want everything to go wrong

This was a very pleasant dining experience. The dishes were unique, and service very attentive. It's also a nice venue. One side dish wasn't great (broccoli rabe with way too much stems). All entries were fine: Lobster Liguine, Chicken Marsala, huge Pork Chop.
This is relatively pricy, and yet worth it when you want that special dinner out. This was our holiday out dinner.

Loved food and drinks

Good news. Bad news. The food was delicious. Onion soup and pasta ragu. Service good. No loud music so conversation was easy. But were charged $2 for bread which was nothing more than the toast they serve with onion soup. There’s a $5 sharing charge. The prices are very high so with those charges we felt taken advantage of. The place charges like a white table cloth type place but, while nice, does not look the part. I hope the owner realizes that the two little charges make no sense. Not sure we would come back even though we really liked the food. Very limited menu. Liquor license.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our dinners. The food is outstanding, the staff is pleasant and the atmosphere is so relaxing. We will definitely be back.

On a lark, we decided to try Luna Stella for dinner earlier this week. We caught it out of the corner of our eyes as it is tucked away slightly off the Main Street of Maplewood, but boy are we glad we found it! We happened to catch them on a live music night so we decided to sit at a bar table and while the dining room was nearly empty, the bar was full. Our waiter was attentive even with a full plate of tables and the owner came over to us several times to see how we were doing. Our drinks were very good, but the food was amazing! The chicken was pounded so thin for the Milenese and fried perfectly. The short rib pappardelle had a deep unctuous beef flavor but was not heavy at all. The pasta was cooked perfectly! We will definitely be going back!

Service was slow and inattentive even though it was fairly empty Wednesday evening. They have 10 mains and were "out" of 2 of them. Food was alright. Probably better to find a nice dinner elsewhere.
