Lunasea Key West Cafe

What a cool bar around the corner. The food was amazing as well as the beers and shots! The bartender there went absolutely above and beyond! Had a great time and would highly recommend to anybody on the strip!

MEG WAS WONDERFUL!!! I can't believe this is my 1st time here, but it will NOT be my last! Great list of specialty cocktails - the Blue Lagoon & Peach Daiquiri were refreshing! Started with the fresh Calamari rings and tentacles, lightly battered, and deep fried. Served with multiple sauces: baja, sweet chili, lime and cocktail - ALL GOOD! Also the Fresh Oysters on the half shell topped with a savory Rockefeller mixture of spinach, bacon, and Parmesan cheese - SO TASTY! Now this was a first for me - the Scallop BLT with fresh large grilled sea scallops served on soft ciabatta bread with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Baja sauce - OMG, that was AMAZING! And the friendly owner, Colleen, let us try her slow roasted mojo pork...WOW! Can't wait to come back for Sunday brunch & dinner!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 🙌🏾

Beautiful place for dinner! Unfortunately, it didn't have air inside when we went! It was 98 degrees outside! Needless to say food was not good at all! So, we left the restaurant and went to the club area. Had a blast there! But,the restaurant part? DO BETTER!

Lunasea is a hidden gem!!! Colleen the owner has truly made this place an experience you do not want to miss out on when coming to Virginia Beach. the food is spectacular and the service equals the same. the overall vibe of Lunasea is amazing, from the corn hole game to the multiple bars, comfy seating and great DJ's We came to Virginia Beach for our friends birthday from Pennsylvania and we will be coming back for Lunasea!!!! and to see Colleen!!

Jay the doorman was AMAZING. From the second we walked in, he made us feel so welcome and comfortable—super friendly, polite, and just an all-around great vibe. He really set the tone for the night. Shoutout as well to the downstairs bartender who was also awesome and very courteous. Great service all around. Can’t wait to come back!

First off, my wife and I got there about 30 minutes before they opened. Joe greeted us, told us a bit about himself, talked to us about the menu and food. Once we were seated - outside because we brought our miniature goldendoodle, Nolan - Joe brought our dog a bowl of ice water and gave him lots of pets! Second, our server, Brittany, was the best server we’ve ever had, and that is saying a lot. She was so personable, sweet, kind, very attentive, and loved our dog. After I mentioned it was ourwedding anniversary weekend celebration, we promptly received a lemon drop shot and after dinner a key lime cheesecake slice - on the house! Third, the food was amazing and the drinks weren’t bad either. Don’t pass this place up if you’re in Virginia Beach. You won’t be disappointed! Talk to Joe and ask for Brittany as your server.

Lunasea I’m was a great place and a great time. The steak fajitas were absolutely amazing and the fish tacos were too! Kelli E was an amazing waitress, she was super friendly, held a great conversation and did an outstanding job!!

Me & hubby had brunch here, Elle got our drink orders & I wanted to try the Key West bloody mary but wasn't sure how "hot" the ghost pepper vodka would be, Elle said it is hot, but the bloody mary mix & flavors keep it from being so hot. She described it perfectly & it was so good! I ordered a breakfast burrito & it was delicious with fried potatoes, hubby got the Monte Cristo & really enjoyed his too. There was enough for us to have another meal. We will definitely eat here when we get back to the beach. Elle was very attentive as checked on us often. Highly recommend this establishment!

My friend and I have been trying to come for brunch at Lunasea for a while and finally were able to after a nice Yoga session Their brunch menu isn't huge but they have a nice selection of favorites: French toast, breakfast burrito, Monte Cristo sandwich, etc. They also serve from their extensive lunch menu during brunch and have salads, entrees, loads of sandwiches and other items. My friend ordered the Cuban and it was HUGE and looked delicious. Served with crispy steak fries. Yum. Her portion was also huge so she ate half her sandwich and took the rest home. I chose the breakfast burrito loaded with cheese, eggs, ham and pico and served with breakfast potatoes. The burrito was HUGE and I ate like half and a little more and was full for hours. Really good price and great portion. Service was excellent and they weren't very busy despite the Neptune Festival weekend so, we were able to sit on the patio and then see the back area (which was closed) and get a feel for when they have music or events. Very friendly people and very cool vibes and decor with an excellent menu. Definitely going to have to come back here for music and try to sit in back. It's huge - it goes back like half the city block.

Went here around 9:30 pm on a Thursday after an event and there was no one there. This was great for us because we had no wait time and could order immediately. I've been here before so I already knew I wanted the nachos again, unfortunately we did ask for no olives or tomatoes, but they were put on anyways. The waitress did apologize though. They were good (8/10). Had a long wait on the drinks like my last visit, but it still tasted good: I had the Havana Banana (8/10). It was beginning to rain outside so we didn't get to listen to the live band. Still keeping this place on my go to spot list for when I'm out the oceanfront. Two drinks and Nachos came out to $41. My overall rate of experience : 7.5/10

Excellent food and service. Loved the tour by Kevin of this amazing space! Well done, sir!

This was such a fun place! Loved the outdoor area. Came for an event and it was really fun. I did not order any food but some friends did and everything looked delicious. I went to the bar to order a drink. It took a little while to get service but once I did the bartender was very friendly and the drink was delicious and reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here next time I'm in Virginia Beach.

My friend and myself got thrown out because we ordered crab cakes and did not like it! We offered to even pay for it and order something else but they told us that they were in transition in the kitchen ! So we ordered some drinks to buy time to see how long the transition is . They shut us down kicked us out when we asked to buy more food While other people were walking in . So basically im afraid to say black peoples money isn't the same as white peoples money in this day and age! Sad times discrimination and basically at its highest level

Took a party of 18 today for brunch. WOW! If you are looking for an amazingly beautiful restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere, delicious food with large portions and delectable drinks....go to Luna Sea. From the curb it may not seem like much but prepare to be wowed!! Mimosas were perfect, the service was absolutely top notch, the food....I literally wiped my plate clean. I can't wait to go back again soon!

Great food. Amazing drinks. Meg ,the bartender ( short for Megladon) and John, are awesome. Ask for her Chunky Monkey drink!

The specials tonight including the blacken scallops were delicious. Steamboil was a hit and steak onion and cheese sandwich were hits with the kids! Abby the waitress and Joe the host were impeccable! Ambiance was tranquil for a busy Saturday night. Really enjoyed this evening and looking forward to another visit!

Had the Cesar Salmon and hubby a fried flounder sandwich- Delish! Went a little early sat immediately. Great outdoor area with music.

management is embarrassing. Will not confront anyone but will tell you they did. Childs play. they don't care about their customers and refuse to interact with them. not to mention they professionalism is pathetic. no respect for anyone and the manager doesn't have the decency to talk to anyone. it's embarrassing

They denied us service because we stated we did not the pan sear crab cakes! We asked if we could order the fish tacos instead and they said the owner was "closing us out" from food and drinks even tho we had our money to pay for everything! Just be careful where you spend your money because it's not accepted everywhere depending on your color !

Overall, it was a good experience, but the food was just ordinary with nothing special. The ambiance and service were nice. We arrived very late and hungry, and since they were open and not busy, we decided to give it a try.

very disrespectful general manager came and cut us off from liquor and food and told us it was time to leave because private business establishment even tho we had our money to pay for more food and drinks. very unprofessional and reticulate on what kind of people enter! Beware!

I usually have fun here but the bartenders can be rude. I've been here a few times and one time, I tried to order a Hurricane and the bartender went on a minute long spiel about how he can't just make drinks that other bars have and that you can't just ask a bartender for some obscure drink just because local bars serve those. I've been a bartender, I've been to mixology school and a hurricane is a classic cocktail, like dude what? It's cool if you don't know how to make certain drinks, but to lecture me for an odd amount of time and treat me like I'm an idiot just made the rest of the night weird and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Another time, I attended and a member of my group was ordering and covering all of my drinks. I was feeling woozy, and went up to the bar a few times for some water. The bartender didn't seem to like that and said to me when I asked, "yeah well I'm at work, so you'll have to wait since you only want some water". Which, honestly, I can get on some level. I know you don't make any money off that, but frankly I had several drinks and I know for a fact the dude I was with was a decent tipper so it's not like I was some random cheapo not consuming anything from the establishment. He still gave me water and didn't take long, I'm not gonna lie but I just really disliked feeling like such a weirdo. It honestly wouldn't have bothered me if I didn't watch the bartender be so sweet and smiley and engaging to EVERYONE else who was trying to order. I don't know, maybe im just sensitive, I just wanted to give my honest take. Honestly, I have a great time when I go here for the most part, but it matters more the people you attend with and the DJ. The security is always kind, and most staff, but you can tell they hire random dudes as bartenders and if you're not a hot skinny young thing, or a drunk dude with your black card out, don't expect much from the bartenders.

My favorite place in VA Beach for night life. It's beautiful inside at night with the lights. Plenty of bars so you're not stuck waiting for drinks for too long. Great DJs. There was a QR code where you could request songs and tip the DJ. My group had a blast.

All I can say is if you are thinking about going to Lunasea, go somewhere else. My husband and I had a very unpleasant dinner and drinks. Our service was good and our waitress apologized for the long wait, the cold food, the flies in the dish, the weak drink with melted ice but the manager simply shrugged and said "It's a busy night." Enough said.

We had a great time at Lunasea. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. I was super impressed with the crab legs! Cooked perfectly and plenty of butter and old bay.

I'm unsure why this place has just ok reviews . Visited Thursday for my birthday and it was fantastic ! For starters the host kat was very friendly very welcoming and all about making sure we were comfortable and Steven our server was amazing as well ! Drinks were good food was nothing short of delicious ! Do yourself a favor , ignore the just ok reviews and check them out !

We are having a girl's trip to VA Beach and stumbled upon this place after a round of mini golf. The place had a funky welcoming vibe. Our waitress Hannah was friendly and put up with our rowdy group. We had some appetizers of crab dip, tableside guacamole and the best conch fritters I have ever had.You could taste the conch. Our party really enjoyed the crab dip which had real crab and was cheesy goodness. Our entire party really enjoyed our food. We would go back again .

Went on a Sunday for a beach walk with my dog and randomly found the restaurant. Very welcoming and kind woman up front. She took care of my dog by bringing her a bowl of water and a bandana. Outside seating gave me a chance to dine with my dog. I ordered a crab dip which was pretty good. The crab dip was topped with cheddar cheese, didn't really like that but was still decent. The chips were very crunchy and light. Fish tacos were great with all the other toppings on the side. Not sure if pinto beans were an option since I'm not a fan of black beans, it was good nonetheless. Topped it off with a Bloody Mary. Decent size bacon with three olives and celery. Overall nice lunch. The only con the really bugs me is that they already include 18% tip automatically. I believe that's my discretion/choice to tip according to my appreciation of service, you just don't demand tip like that. And I was by myself.

I always try to give a honest overall review of all the factors in place. 1.) The overall service was GREAT 2.) Cost for food GOOD 3.) Food & quality leaves a lot to be desired ! ! ! My buddy and I stopped in Sat 3/8/2025 at 11:30 am for breakfast. We were the only 2 there. I ordered 2 eggs sunny side up with sausage, hashbrowns and white toast. When my order arrived the eggs were over not sunny side up. After a short discussion they corrected the egg problem. I asked for jelly or jam for the toast. I was told they no longer offer either. Then asked for butter. First whoever heard of having toast and jelly or jam wasn't available. The butter was so dam hard you couldn't spread it on the toast without destroying the bread to pieces. The sauage was partly raw in the middle and the potatoes were hard and salty. I ate the 2 eggs and half of 1 sauage and left the rest as to me it really wasn't worth eating and was awful. When the barmaid came by and asked how was everything, I told her it was one of the worst breakfasts I ever had and she said she was sorry to hear that and took my plate with 3/4 of it still on it away. When I got my check she was happy to inform me that they had taken 3 dollars off the bill. Big deal ! If this is all you do for creding a meall that sucked then this is not a place I nor my family will come to again. To bad they did such a nice job on the renovation to serve poor food. Just my opinion ! ! !

Omg!!!The food is soooooo good and the let us pick the music Taylor swift to exact and the waiters are so nice!

Great vibe , absolutely beautiful . The drinks were a bit over priced compared to other bars. They had two DJs on a Saturday night but not a lot of people dancing ,this was sept so maybe just not in season. It was a beautiful place to relax with a group of friends.

My mother and I were wondering around VA Beach and found this little slice of paradise. The service was fantastic. The restaurant itself is way bigger on the inside than perceived from the street. The food was fantastic. I will definitely be returning.

Never experienced servers that disrespectful and entitled my entire life managers where no help or insightful enough to have understanding poor treatment towards customers who have previously spent 100s of dollars at this establishment before, the short old blonde hair manager is the worse I ever seen, and the skinny young girl with glasses in particular

I love this place! Too bad our last visit was so terrible. I previously reviewed and what a night/day difference. Before going I checked their website for any info on restrictions, etc. and it's the same as it has been for years. Wife and I went for brunch on Sunday, at noon. I love breakfast, she prefers lunch so we went later and sat at the bar. One other person and the bar tender. We ordered drinks, I got the carafe and bottle of champagne for mimosas, wife wanted the bloody mary bar but of course covid has removed that (website update required), but got the bartender special. First issue, the BM was rimmed with salt not the old Bay as described on the menu, lemon ring and 2 olives. Strike #1. The menu was shorter than usual [expected] but there were absolutely no lunch items! We asked if there was a regular menu and were told not yet (dinner?), so Strike #2. More on my thoughts later. So the wife decided not to eat, and ordered a second BM with Old Bay this time. bartender said they didn't have Old Bay but had a sweet chili powder that she could use, so she opted for that. *look at the drink menu and note all the references to Old Bay. If you're out, swing by Wal-Mart and grab a few cans so you can make the drinks as described. I ordered the crab con queso benedict and it seemed most appealing to me. Arrived after a longer time than expected since the place wasn't jamming and how long does it take to toast a muffin and cook over easy eggs? When it arrived there was a small pile of potatoes and a massive amount of queso [yum] covering the ham (no pic, sorry). I wanted to check for the egg cook and lifted the ham to find an untoasted english muffin. Not a lightly toasted muffin, but untoasted. The manager must have seen me inspecting so he asked if everything was alright. I showed him the muffin and he seemed perturbed and agreed that it wasn't the quality he expected. Took it away and offered me something else, so I opted for the breakfast fajitas. Strike #3. The fajitas arrived, bigger pile of potatoes that were warm and tasty. The tortillas were warm as were the eggs. The onions and peppers were't cooked enough, barely/aldente [everyone has different preferences on veggie cook- I like them soft and caramelized) and the sausage was flavorful. There was a cold plate of sour cream, shredded cheese, lettuce(?) and salsa. Of note, the salsa was frozen, not cold but literally icey. Strike #4. We got a checkin from the manager again and when he asked how it was I asked if he wanted some truth/feedback, and he said yes. So I pointed out the cook on the veggies and the frozen salsa. The salsa was a problem it appeared. We finished eating and drinking and got the tab. 4% was automatically added to the tab. We said we would pay in cash so the bartender adjusted the bill. Be careful and check or bring cash so you don't support their choice of credit card providers. So, given the menu listed, how hard would it have been to have a few non-breakfast items available. a cheese burger should be a staple for any restaurant; there were fajitas, why not grill some chicken and swap out the eggs/sausage (fish tacos were on the dinner special sign - maybe some fish tacos too), the breakfast burrito and BLT could of had variations for lunch options and even a limited kitchen should be able to pull that off. I mean it is advertised as brunch not breakfast. I get all the challenges of staffing now, it is everywhere, but this just seemed like a lack of motivation/caring/creativity. Lunasea was a pretty solid place that we frequented, sadly the sun has set for us on their particular harbor.

We came here for a good time. We purchased 1 drink per person. After about 45 minutes later, we were asked to leave or purchase another drink. We were planning on purchasing another drink but took our time. Please note that we were still finishing our food. This place is very rude. They will ask you to leave if you don't buy a drink every 20 mins.

Lunasea was fantastic! The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, it's super hard to find that kind of service these days. The owner stopped to chat before we left and explained the restaurant's history (we said we had been there about 15 yrs ago). It was such a great experience! So glad they've stayed in business ..We'll be down to check out the back patio in the future!

We stopped by here because it was the closest place to grabbing lunch from where we parked. Most place didn't open until noonish on Sunday. We amazed by the service and atmosphere. The lunch and brunch menu selection was small, the only thing that was disappointing and that they were out of chicken. The tacos, burrito, and burgers was delicious but the grilled cheese was disappointing, it didn't even look like grilled cheese and was unappetizing.

stoped in to talk to the event coordinator about an upcoming event that I have to host for and there was a private party going on but I was told to come today and when I tried to talk to her she was extremely rude and sarcastic tone ( are you trying to talk business to me ) and then walked past me saying ( come with me) waved her hand towards the door and said ( you can come back tomorrow) even thow a staff member told me to come in and talk to her today. On top of that the look the staff giving us was just rude.... So I do not suggest to anyone to go to this venue...

Absolutely amazing! Josh and Ashton made my friend and I feel extremely comfortable and safe coming out! I've been to almost every bar on the oceanfront and LunaSea is by Far THE BEST !!! 100/10 RECOMMEND

Great food. Bartend was super nice and he gave us a lot of good oceanfront recommendations because we're new to the area.

Overall a good hang out spot to dance and chill with friends at night... Corn hole bags do leave your hands smelling like a jockstrap that hasn't been washed in a year, or your dads Sunday lawn work new balances Either way just another VB outdoor bar :)

Never went here for the good, so I decided to try it out. Boyy was it good. The drinks were delicious, and the tapas dishes tasted good. The mac and cheese, even though it was a side, is something I would of ordered all the time. The server was super nice and very attentive, excellent customer service. I decided to eat on the outside which gave a very nice relaxing vibe. The only downside was a auto 20% gratuity. But if every server provided the level of service as ours did, then i guess it fits well.

This place has a whole hidden area in the back you absolutely have to see to believe. Its like being transported to Key West!

Good food & flavorful drinks! Our waiter dude was super helpful and friendly. You also have an option to continue at their club in the back which I thought was pretty convenient if you wanted to eat good food and drink but also chill and go dancing.

The online menu did not match the menu in the restaurant. We were told the seafood was fresh... however there were grouper "fingers" available but not a grouper sandwich as advertised on the website. We decided to leave and go somewhere else and we're charged $8.00 and change for 2 soft drinks, plus a 20% charge for gratuity... Sheesh... most respectable establishments would not have charged someone for the soft drinks and encouraged us to come back and try a lunch menu or brunch or something like that... instead this place just ensured that we will not recommend or come back.... Very disappointing to say the least.

LunaSea hosted a 80+ person event for us this weekend on their back deck and it was a huge success! Everyone in attendance was really stoked with the beautiful two level layout which could have easily handled 2X the number of people. Colleen, the owner, catered the food, and we had a private bar service. Both the food and the service were excellent and certainly made it a very special event! There's also room for a band or DJ and a dance floor. They had 4-5 cornhole sets out for us and everyone had a blast. A great afternoon!

My family and I tried Lunasea this week for their Wednesday night Steak special. We were so impressed with the place, the food and the service. Wow! This turned out to be perhaps the best steak deal I've seen in years. The steak itself was a 10+ oz. ribeye, thick and juicy, perfectly cooked with deep fried onion ribbons on top, plus a generous portion of crispy fries and a very nice garden salad, all for $15! I ordered a bottle of red zin (half price on Wednesdays too) to share with the family. Then for dessert, they had a great selection of homemade offerings that were awesome too. Service was outstanding, and the staff was all very friendly. Our server, Christian, who was the nicest guy, actually took us on a tour of Lunasea after dinner, showing us the massive outdoor space that included 7 separate bars and a sandy courtyard to play cornhole. This was offseason, but this place clearly is hopping in the summer because it is just a block off the beach in downtown Virginia Beach. So, if you're a local, they have specials most nights and offer great food at affordable prices, so my recommendation is to give them a try - you won't regret it!

So, I attended their tequila tasting festival and I was pleasently surprised because the place is way bigger than expected. I did not get a chance to taste the food but the tequila tasting, entertainment and music was great.The back of the restaurant has a sand pit, mechanical bull and the even had fire artists. I definately plan to return to sample the food!

Doesn't look very big from the outside, but apparently there are multiple bars and a sandpit inside. Sitting on the patio facing 22nd st was nice. The menu is a bit mixed in terms of cuisine. Lettuce wraps with shrimp was good. Lettuce is the wrap replacing the flour tortilla, very low carb I guess. You also get black beans, tomato/onion mix, rice, sour cream, all served in separate little containers. They are quite good with presentation here. Shrimp Po Boy had a very large type of shrimp, fresh batter, served on a brioche bread. You get 5 or of these big style shrimps. Comes with fries. Also had the coconut shrimp, which have a really good coconut coating, with the flakes properly mixed in, not just sprinkled on top, served with a sweet chili (lime?) sauce. For dessert Key Lime Cheesecake, which was a bit too dense, could have been more airy, otherwise fine. Service was attentive, smiling and friendly, never had to sit and wonder where is she?!? The prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality.

My boyfriend and I have been eyeing this place for the past year. We live in Hampton so a trip to VA beach is a hike for us. We finally made it out there! The feel is nice I love the decor . You can tell they're used to regular and not necessarily 1st timers. The food was ok. Proportions were small . The calamari was laughable. The oyster Rockefeller had a really mushy texture that I was not used to. Maybe too much spinach? It tasted good but the texture left me not wanting to finish the dish. The pork tacos were good though the black beans were too soupy in my opinion. seems like it came out of a can. My boyfriend had the steak and shrimp fajitas. It looked good but again the proportions were much too small. Our first set of drinks tasted like straight juice. The second we're very strong but all were tasty. The best part (the reason we came) was for the awesome outdoor area. We thought we'd be able to eat out there but apparently it's a club . We sat out there and had a couple drinks but the music wasn't really our style . The DJ mixed the music too much with techno. All and all it's a beautiful place but clearly more or a locals/college kid place

Though I've been here once before years ago (and they had some pretty good fries), I actually came this time around for the tequila fest they were hosting. Man was I surprised! I've been to the restaurant part but never knew there was an entire club, too?? We got there around 8-9pm and there was a line but it was moving pretty fast. The door man checked our ID only and the money handler was very unenthusiastic. almost a mood ruiner. Once we got in, it was packed! There was a sandpit with a stage and bull to include multiple bars and a balcony-like viewing areas. There is also an inside bar, which is where all the tequila tasting was going on. Loved the setup of it all, especially with how nice the weather was feeling. Great location at oceanfront & I enjoyed my time there. Would love to see how it is on a regular night.

Great brunch food and great prices for brunch drinks! We were seated immediately on Sunday afternoon! Service was quick and everyone was very kind. More than one person came to our table to check in so that made us feel pretty special! I can't wait to come back and try their lunch/dinner!

Saturday | 255pm Skinny Margarita | 6 raw oysters | fish tacos All front seating available at this time. Sandpit in the back opens up at 600pm. The Skinny tasted no alch, but I bet this is going to creep like it did 5 years ago? However, if you like a lemonade type, this the way to go and it's not too sweet to kick my non existence diabetes. . ALRIGHT, first time blew me away...this anticipation to see the consistency for the second time is almost like a roller coater. Finally I can explain how this fish taco made me lose my virginity. Comes with two tacos, sour cream, cilantro and salsa on the side. This fish we speak of, is crunchy on the outside, the first bite was okay..I'm waiting for my mouth to water which hasn't yet like my first experience but the second bite though getting into the middle bite though, the crunch mixed with a soft flavorful saucy mouthful was gasmicatic. Also had a second taster and they're not fond of fish tacos of their fishy scents but they approved and murdered an already dead fish without hesitation. Oysters had no complaints and not really a fan of steak fries but they were crunchy which made it enjoyable. About an hr later, I'm typing without auto correct so I guess the skinny Margarita wasn't a slow hitter but I'd probably try one of the other flavors in the future. I remember the first time it had salt on the rim and maybe a red coloring with an umbrella heh. Wasn't as sweet at that time but I'm curious if that'll also be the same punch next time. I heard another customer get a blue tropical and claimed too sweet but apparently it had the works. Who knows. Service was also friendly and excellent. Would I ever come back? Hell, yes. Every chance I get.

I'm honestly very upset to leave anything less than a 5 start review for this place because every other time I've come here with my family it's been absolutely wonderful. But tonight was a clear exception. We were seated by a nice gentleman & handed menus right off the bat. Our waitress was nice to start off with & offered suggestions to replace drink orders we made that ingredients were absent for. We ordered the crab dip & waited a few minutes for our 4 drinks.... ...one of which had alcohol. As a past bartender, this was very odd, considering I'd ordered a double. No biggie, mistakes are made. We signaled down a waitress & let her know & she explained to me that alcohol "gets diluted by ice".... we were also immediately treated poorly for the complaint & our service changed entirely in the next 10 minutes we waited for our waitress to come back. When she returned, she apologized for only putting one shot in my drink & then gave me real attitude when I asked for our app to go. Then charged us full price for the 3 drinks we didn't drink!!! After they literally cut us off every time we tried to speak & explain/chat about what happened. AWFUL SERVICE! Appalled. Extremely upset that a place I've been a patron at annually for YEARS was so not themselves this evening. Truly disappointing & I will be thinking twice about returning. UPDATE: DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING HERE, THEY WILL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU AND FORCE YOU TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY SERVICE!!!!! UPDATE 2: This establishment claims publicly that my father refused to pay for the entire bill (not true) after they "removed the drinks that were returned off the bill" (super untrue) & then called the police on him for trying to skip the bill in its entirety (literally 100% not true). Then when the cops got there, the entire scene turned into a "let's see how riled up we can get everyone over one customer who complained." Long story short, my dad paid $60 for all 4 drinks & the appetizer we ordered & left. What an evening, all in an attempt to have one alcoholic beverage & light fare before returning to our hotel. Never again.

Owner is very rude and made us buy drink in order to stay at her establishment. They also add up to 25% gratuity without any signs or staff acknowledging us

I threw my family in the car and we drove from hampton to the water front to hear Derek Moore play some reggae at Lunasea for brunch on a Sunday morning. We brought along my mother in law, who is Jamaican, do that she could hear Derek play. She was instantly captivated by his sound the minute that she heard him play. BONUS! This place is huge. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We stayed indoors and sat just several feet away from the brunch time talent. I ordered a monte Cristo. It was okay. It was suppose to come with raspberry preserves/jelly. What I got was regular grape jelly. That was disappointing. I always compare a monte cristo to the one they use to serve at bennigans. This sandwich was far from it, but not bad. I also got a nice margarita on the rocks to go with my lunch. They have a pretty decent looking menu. Our server was on point and the atmosphere of the restaurant was pretty good. I can see this place as a nice destination during a hot summer day. We'll be back.
