All the ingredients are here for one of the City's best dining experiences but it just misses the mark for me. Uninspiring menu, cooked adequately in the main, but no flair. Limited wine selection, especially from the Central Otago vineyards, doesn't help.

Had a wonderful dinner at Luna tonight our waitress was very efficient and friendly and the food was great. They were very busy with a uni graduation but this did not affect their great service. Wine was pricey but the view made up for this.

We went for dinner, and decided to have a drink at the bar first. The tables were dirty and the service poor. Worst gin and tonic I have ever had. Decided not to eat there. Eventually couldn't wait to get out - left half my drink behind. Beautiful location, just a pity about the service and quality!

I don't know what happend to Luna it seems to have lost its edge and key staff and the food has certainly taken a turn for the worst. Ordered steak and venison after a 50 minute wait both came overcooked, tasteless and looked terrible. we didn't stay for dessert and won't return again.

Yes - Luna has great views but that's it! Coffee was luke warm. Had to wait for over an hour for our mains - that were all over cooked and over priced. Worst experience I ever had in my home town!

We had a friends 50th Birthday dinner here on 25 March 2013, while the view over Dunedin and the Peninsula are beautiful, the front of house staff excellent, however the food when it finally arrived was the worst meal I had ever been served, it was so overcooked I couldn't eat it! The gluten free meals that we had been... More

Luna is blessed with fantastic views of Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula from every table from its perch on the hillside at Roslyn, It has an uncomplicated menu with enough choice including some NZ classics, such as lamb shank. The wine list is reasonably priced and you can get Speights on tap as well as other bottled beers. The service... More

We made a reservation months before our dinner was due and we were rewarded with the best table in the restaurant: a breathtaking view on Dunedin Harbour and the Otago peninsula! The food was excellent offering a good choice of tasty dishes, both fish and meat. A wide range of wines, both domestic and from abroad are on the wine-list,... More

Linda at Kiwi nest recommended Luna, so I booked a table when we arrived we were seated next to the door, having been given the menu and got some drinks I asked the waitress if she had another table, she looked around and said I will have one over by the window if you don't mind waiting about ten minutes...

The restaurant over looks Stuart Street and nice views over the harbour and dunedin city. Lunch menu was abit pricey and they didnt offer seniors specials for the older members of my family. Friendly staff and decor was nice inside the bar :)
