luna del sea steak & seafood bistro

uh oh do these guys like tattoos?. perfect choice.after visiting here on three other trips into the city. from new years elegant bash my first time where i was first hesitant about the price. i went with my gut and tony at luna del sea really pulled out all stops. perfect like i said elegant night with outstanding food. had the crab trio, hands down one of the best larger than a fist cake. perfectly cooked and barely any filler. snow crab legs and somethin else i cant remember. it was most likely the best on the plate cause i attribute the memory loss with my x fiance eating it all. second visit was a 10 person celebration party. id say great anniversary, pre wedding dinner, if you want you family or guests to be able to order absolutely anything on the menu,( if asked right with the quality of chef and amount of true hospitality iv been shown) you an get anything and it will all be absolutely amazing. my last visit was for lunch as im a local tattoo artist and happen to be downtown for the convention. a friend and i were greeted 5 feet before walking out front of the place. not as a cheasy sales pitch to get us in just a "hey how ya guys doin?" of course we were goin there already but walked right in and sat at the bar. got a pitcher of sangria. omg 2-3 people. yeah just go with a pitcher of sangria. on a hot day where you have to do some more walking. its soo refreshing and sweet. they make it a few different ways and all are great. i got the new york strip med rare. dude not even the fat survived. nice grill car but not burnt grill marks. wherever they get their meat its worth it. if you looking for a place to either sit outside and enjoy a salad and tea in the sun or have a drink and steak for lunch. theres a few things i can bet on with choosing luna del sea. absolutely amazingfoodcooked to perfection, great conversations with the friendly staff and locals and all without having to deal with that drunk guy who just wants a friend or enjoy the company of the people from walmart. absolutely great place. top shelf, top quality, top on my list of places to walk to when downtown in the harbor or at the convention center.

this place is great!. luna del sea was great.
they helped me host a baby shower for my sister in their private room and everything went well. thefoodwas good and well-priced. the service was personable. this is a great venue to work with. look forward to coming back.

do not come here at all. went for dinner with my bf. first off says upscale casual? its a diner with low lighting. got dressed up for no reason. 2) no prices on the menu. i dont mind paying for qualityfoodbut this was sign number 1. 3). got my meal the broiled seafood dinner with the tilapia imperial scallop and shrimp.... was oily and disgusting. took literally 2 bites and gave it back. and they still charged me full price and didnt take it off my check. 4). says best crabcakes in town.... lies. was seasoned horribly and was oily like the rest of the food.

asked for it to be removed manager came.. took 10 dollars off cuz "i ate some" . like what? 2 bites cost 34$ i guess.

i recommend you go somewhere else to eat. trust me. there is cheaper better quality seafood here. my boyfriend and i had 2 dinner plates, shared an appetizer. ..came up to 174. dont go here. save your money.

luna del sea steak and seafood bistro. fabulous, not crowded, not noisy, great service, friendly, great food, omg, felt like a celebrity,foodcooked to perfection. manager was awesome. worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thefoodand service are excellent. the prices are very fair for the quality of thefoodserved as well as the generous portions. i am recommending that anyone visiting baltimore stop in and enjoy!

dinner @ luna del sea. i came downtown to luna del sea for a dinner meeting last week and loved the atmosphere. the staff were all on point and (being a baltimore native) the crab cake was the best i ever had. no asian chalky meat here. i could tell it was fresh blue maryland crab. the portions were bountiful and the steaks were grilled and seasoned perfectly. ive been a chef my entire career. i was the executive chef of liberatores for about seven of them. so my experience with thefoodat luna del sea was quite surprizing. usually there are a million things i can say went wrong with restaurants but this was a pleasant surprise. i will return here to dine and reccomend them to all of my collegues. great food.. great atmosphere.. great people

sincerely, chef shaun boas

started out well as we brought two small children in and were accommodated kindly. but, thefoodwas disappointing. my $34 steak was worth maybe $20. the linguini with clam sauce was mostly butter without a clam in sight. to be fair, the crab cake (baseball sized) was probably worth the $20 charge. all in all, we wish we had chosen a different restaurant - especially for the high price.

i would have to say that thefoodwas great (seafood trio) and it was an pleasant experience

we recommend this restaurant. on 8/11/12, my husband & i were celebrating our 33rd anniversary. we had called about a week before to make our reservations. the guy (david) who took the phone call switched with another guy just so he could wait on us! they had a bottle of champagne waiting for us. thefoodwas excellent! we went back on 8/29/12 and the owner remembered us! this time we split a meal and it was more than enough for both of us!

mission impossible. friends coming from out of town looking for a place close to camden yards to have dinner before the o's. attempted to make a reservation on line: website won't take my phone number to make the reservation. searched the website for phone number to call... nothing listed on site.

menu doesn't provide pricing info. looks like something set up using godaddy. can thefoodand service be much better???

waiter was very nice and friendly. i enjoyed thefoodand the atmosphere. my first time here and i will be back. excellent service from the waiter for my birthday. thank you kevin.

great!. jim was very good! thefoodwas very tasty and i will definitely be back with friends and family any chance i get!!

mediocre. we went to luna del sea for baltimore restaurant week and don't think that thefoodwe got was worth the $30 we paid for the three courses. the service was decent but we got our entrees before we were finished eating half our salads. one of us got the ny strip and it wasn't cooked to order and was very dry. the baked potato was average. just a baked potato. the other got a chicken dish that was pretty good but the goat cheese on top was way out of place so it got pushed to the side. we were very pumped about dessert, but they only had one piece of chocolate cheesecake left. the piece we had was delicious though. we got a piece of the oreo cheesecake for the other dessert and it was very disappointing. it tasted like it was taken from a box, though the server said they make the desserts there. overall it was an ok experience. the location is convenient and the atmosphere quaint. thefoodis mediocre and the service about the same.

avoid this place!. my friend was visiting from chicago and had asked that we get seafood in baltimore. the hotel attendant suggessted luna del sea. we walked over and fell in love with the quaint atmosphere and thefoodsmelled delicious. we were fooled. after standing there (restaurant was empty) for 10 minutes we were finally greeted and asked to have a seat at the bar while they cleared a table for us. we waited 20 minutes and had to listen to the servers complain about having to clear our table. we were finally seated about 3 inches away from another party of 2. we looked past all of this because we were starving and excited for seafood. i ordered the blackened rockfish and my friend ordered the scallop/shrimp/mussel pasta. my fish was so dry that i only ate one bite. i ordered the saffron rice on the side and it was mushy and overcooked with absolutely no taste. my friend's scallops were rubbery. we both stopped eating, finished our bottle of wine and waited for the server to clear our table. he never once asked if there was something wrong or why we hadn't eaten our food. our bill was just over $130 and we ended up leaving and ordering a pizza. very disappointed. i would not recommend thisfoodto anyone. its unfortunate, they have a great location, but horrible food.

clipped. my large out of town group felt ripped off by this place. service was fine, but thefoodwas bad (as in sub-long john silver's bad) and the prices were astronomical for what was served
