I always enjoy myself here. Awesome outdoor patio with plenty of umbrellas and tables. Definitely wheelchair friendly and the chairs can be removed from the tables. The food is very tasty. This time we had appetizers and cocktails. Six Bacon wrapped dates and four ribs were yummy, paired with beer and a margarita. Perfect snack for two! They have inside dining and a full menu. And cool outside because it's near the creek breeze. Check it out!
Luna Red is one of the restaurants that has earned my respect. It is a restaurant that contributes to society and the community. During the pandemic, it unified other businesses to overcome difficult situations. After the Hawaii wildfires, it launched a donation campaign. It helped LA wildfire victims through a fundraiser. When the city wanted to increase the parking fees, this restaurant secured the best deals for residents in SLO. I recommend the paella dish. Friends who have been to Spain all praised it highly. We highly recommend Taco Tuesday. We especially like the fish tacos. Each taco has a large piece of fresh fish and fresh-grown vegetables. They are very tasty. There a weekly special deals that are also very good. If you are craving a good chocolate dessert then we endorse the chocolate mousse. It is a beautifully presented cake with rich and deep-flavored chocolate. The bottom has a moist and tender crumb texture that gives it an elegant texture. Overall, Luna Red is an outstanding restaurant with great quality food. The server team is very attentive and knowledgeable. Last, I want to give a special thanks to this amazing restaurant that helped the community with your kindness and generosity without hesitation. This is a wonderful and valuable asset to the community and the residents in SLO.
No time to visit Spain? No problem! Just stop by Luna Red for some tapas and Sangria or maybe some delicious seafood paella! The service there is exceptional and you’ll be greeted with a smile! The bar is ready to mix you any magical cocktail you can dream of and enjoy while you enjoy the creek view below from either indoor view or outside on their expansive patio. Located next to the SLO mission and nestled into the heart of the downtown shopping area, it’s a must for your lunch or dinner dining experience! And, it’s important to note: I’m HIGHLY GLUTEN INTOLERANT and they were more than happy, willing, and able to not only meet but EXCEED any/all of my dietary requirements/needs!!
The outdoor vibes were so lovely for an intimate fun dinner. Lights, heat lamps, and red chairs! The service was great. We ended up with four tapas to share. Brussels sprouts - so GOOD Ribs - bit spicy pretty yummy Ceviche halibut - maybe should have gotten the tuna instead Bravas - great seasoning! Drinks fun!!
Service was lovely, and the ambiance of the restaurant was so beautiful. We sat outside and it was a but chilly but thankfully, there were heat lamps. I had a party of 5 and we ordered 2 of the paellas. It fed all of us just perfectly, not too salty, good portions and flavor was great .
I must start by saying our server Katie was outstanding. I have been in customer service since I was 12 and have worked as a waitress, at an elite and high end clothing store and a nurse for 42 years in total and feel I know a lot about what excellent customer service should be (and I rarely see it in the world today). Katie exemplified it. She has a wonderful way of talking to customers and executing. That she reassured me if the (seafood) paella was too salty (as two reviews said) they would "make it right" was all I needed to hear to order it. And it was the best paella I have ever had. I am a first generation American who comes from a long line of amazing Italian cooks and a very good cook myself so I think I am a good one to judge. Thank you so much. We will be back!
Trust me, do yourself a favor and dine here. My husband and I came with our dog, sat outside on the lovely patio and it was an exceptional experience. We came around 3 which is when Happy Hour starts (surprisingly early). We ordered a couple of their specialty cocktails (Hooked on a Feeling and Chiquilla Te Quiero) and were happy with our choices. For food we just wanted some small bites so we ordered the chicken thighs on the Happy Hour menu and the adobo ribs. Food came out hot and so perfectly cooked. The chicken was crispy and the ribs tender with the slightest hint of char, both very flavorful. We finished with one more round of drinks (Hooked on a Feeling and Once Upon A Time In Mexico). The ambiance on the patio was lovely but inside is also worth a look. I’d happily eat inside or out. Service was excellent, Katelin made us feel so welcome and taken care of.
