Superb dinner at Cafe Luna in Summerland
Reviewer: Mark
from Santa Barbara, CA
We just had an exquisite dinner at Cafe Luna, which has recently started serving dinner. The meal was beautifully nuanced and presented in a warm atmosphere in an intimate dining room dominated by a large field stone fireplace. We learned that Chef David frequently changes his menu, which is California with an Italian flair. The seasonings were delicate and distinctive. We had a delicious very thin crust pizza and a light and delicious meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes with truffle oil. I took the risk on the meatloaf, thinking the recommendations would prove to be unfounded. Instead, it was the best I've ever eaten. The dessert was a selection of mini-brownies covered with burnt marmalade sauce. The wine list featured local wines at reasonable prices, which was a refreshing change. The acoustics were fine, so we could talk without raising our voices. Our server was friendly and professional. You should check it out.

On a sunny day it feels like being in the Italian Riviera; excellent food with a warm atmosphere and very friendly service. My friends from outer town insist in going there
for dinner, again and again. This place should not be missed.

Excellent!
Reviewer: Irene C.

After a day at the beach, drove by and saw the banner outside "Now Serving Pizza," and couldn't resist. Despite a wait to order food (counter service), everything was excellent. The wood-fired pizza is amazing (had the classic Margherita) and the staff very nice. Had a lovely lunch & couple of beers on the front patio. We had just missed the live music... will have to return another weekend for the entertainment. Fantastic, casual spot and pizza that rivals the best! Thanks!

It could be so much more
Reviewer: andrew

First let me state, that I live in the neighborhood and could and would frequent often if they had good coffee. There needs to be a better brand such as "Blue Bottle" to draw a more discerning crowd, people want the best these days in drinks and coffee. I think they could make a way better use of this terrific space. Faster service with better wait staff that know exactly what to do in a short amount of time. Time and time again they have made my order wrong.

I LOVE Cafe Luna!
Reviewer: Haley
from Summerland, CA
Their almond croissants are AMAZING, they have free wifi and I love the homey feel of it. It’s especially fun on Sundays when they play live music and serve mimosas! The owners are very friendly, as is the service, contrary to other reviews, I have never had a problem with my coffee taking too long, nor have I been served cold coffee.

They are trying
Reviewer: Jill

They are trying hard. Getting better and fuller
If they added Pizza to go in the afternoon it would add a lot to the community. A bit pricey but not bad. Coffee is pretty good better than starbux. There is one guy there nearly everyday trying to pick up women but other than that safe and quiet (he is a bit funny and pathetic).
Having free Internet a few bigger tables would make it nicer! not bad for what it is!

Terrible service.
Reviewer: Mc Neil
from Santa Barbara, CA
Approached the counter for a drink, it appeared to be one of the employees was arguing with the owner very unprofessional. The only reason I didn't get up and go was cause I was running late to work. By the time the drink reached my hands it was cold. I've tried to become a loyal customer but, the service has become horrible. Unfriendly, unprofessional.

Great going,
Reviewer: Megan P.

Waited 7 minutes for my drink, (STARBUCKS WILL HAVE YOUR DRINK IN 3 MINUTES) when I finally got my drink, the tall short haired girl gave me such attitude. The drink was cold when I approached her, I asked if she can heat it. I said it was kind of cold she said "oh wow I heated to 145" with such attitude. Not the first she has done that me and my husband. But, it was the last. The Vegetable Quiche I got was old, as if it sat in there cooler for days. The quality of service has drastically gone down. I will never step foot back into that dump of a place it has turned into. Matter of time before Cafe Luna vanishes... It once was a beautiful place to go sit and enjoy some coffee....

SLOW Service
Reviewer: Lou
from Santa Barbara, CA
I try to stop by Cafe Luna fairly often as I try to support local business; and the coffee is good. However, I cannot frequent here as often as I would like because the service is painfully slow. The concept of multi-tasking needs to be seriously evaluated here. The people behind the counter are generally friendly, but that doesn't make up for the fact that I wait an average of 5 minutes for a latte to-go. Maybe they need more people working each shift. I want to be a Cafe Luna "regular" but until they speed it up a bit I will continue to pass it by.

Was a welcoming place!
Reviewer: Isabella C.
from Carp
I'm usually very pleased with the service in the mornings. My drinks are always prepared by the time I approach the counter "big plus". Unfortunately I stopped by in the afternoon to pick up a cold drink, as I approached the counter the 2 females that were there were talking "I wasn't even acknowledged they were very in debt in there conversation. I stood in front of the pastry case for about 3 minutes as they finished there conversation. One of the girls simply walked away as if I wasn't there. At this point I was a little frustrated but, ignored it. When I finally got my drink, it wasn't what I ordered and when I asked one of the girls she replied, "That's what you ordered" and gave me attitude. I simply took my drink and business else where. Unfortunate, such a nice, cozy place.
