I am very late with this review, we ate at Lune in June of this year, but here goes! I have lived in Dennis Port for a few years and I am so thrilled that a restaurant of this caliber has opened here. We were so excited to dine there and went all in with the tasting menu and full wine pairing. Regretfully, we did leave feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. The setting is gorgeous and the staff all lovely and attentive (a little too attentive sometimes as we were asked for our menu/wine selection by three different people!) The Foie Gras tarte and the oyster were the highlights, and the sourdough divine, all dishes beautifully presented. However, the other dishes were mediocre and the “main” duck was not good at all. The duck, along with a couple of other dishes, felt inchoate: it just wasn’t quite at the level anticipated or, frankly, at the price point charged. I am all for a new restaurant experimenting and joining them on the journey, but when a meal for two costs $500+, I kind of expect things to be pretty flawless. The wine too needed some help. At first glance I was thrown by the “sommelier’s choice”. It was giving “we bought too many cases of this and need to get rid”, and honestly, that’s how the pairing came off. A couple of really nice wines (the Cava, the Retsina) and a couple of quite bad ones, if I’m being honest (sommelier’s choice, for one). The sever, too, was really not up to discussing it much, which was disappointing. She said she was a level 1 sommelier but couldn’t identify the main river in the wine region where 3 of the 6 wines came from. She couldn’t get away from the table fast enough. I don’t want to be mean, and again, I am so very happy that Lune is open and wish them all the best, but I really do feel that the quality was not up to the standard set by the price point. I wavered between 3 and 4 stars but ultimately, as there were more than a couple of things amiss, I went with 3.
