Simple place, seafood market and seafood restaurant, now also emphasizing burgers. Much more seating inside than you'd expect, plus a deck with tables and umbrellas. Service is over the counter and they bring you your order when ready. Napkins, cutlery, condiments all self serve. Mostly fried seafood, so that's what we got, encompassing fried haddock, fried shrimp, and fried clams. -- Fried Haddock: Good sized piece, not too thin, though not really that thick. Slightly crunchy batter, slightly greasy. Moist, fluffy interior. Decent. -- Fried Clams: Small in size, bellies intact, a bit crumbly, and fairly funky odor and flavor. Not spoiled but I don't think they were fresh. -- Fried Shrimp: The best of the three items, with good size again, good quantity, and less-greasy batter. Moist, slightly sweet bite with a decent snap. Pretty good. -- Fries were the frozen kind-- not bad, but not one of the better representations. Ditto the mayoey coleslaw. Best way to wash this down is with an ice cream next door at West Side Creamery-- tremendous ice cream. Since burgers are also their focus now, I'd give that a try next time.

This restaurant is very nice and spacious and offers a variety of seafood entree's for everyone. This time I ordered the lobster sandwich and it came with a choice of any side soup. I got the yummy clam chowder and it was very creamy and hot. There was a generous amount of lobster in my sandwich and I was happy about that. It tasted fresh and I really liked the seasoning. For appetizers we ordered their calamari and crab cakes which were also very good. The calamari was nice and crunchy and the The crab cakes were very flavorful. The fish entree's looked great and I was lucky enough to get a bite of each. Next time I want to get the flat fried fish! Yum! The service was great and everyone enjoyed their meal.

We got the veggie risotto and the summer grain bowl. We did not get to try any drinks. I wish the risotto was better and it was actually risotto. It was more like cheesy rice with a few starchy vegetables in it. The summer grain bowl was heavy on the arugula and quinoa, and somewhat stingy on the additives (grapes, strawberries and almonds). The staff had a hard time figuring how to take my payment, though were very nice and apologetic about it. No napkins or eating utensils were included in our take out bag. Perhaps if we came in the late afternoon, we would have had a better experience. I really wanted to like them. We would be open to another opportunity to try it.

I live around the corner and have come here a number of times. When I first moved here I thought…read morethis place was an underrated gem, but now that I have had it 7-8 times it's just ok. The seafood is fresh and the portions are a good size, but every time I go in there it seems to be run by a group of high schoolers... Over the phone orders have been incorrect, the tables are almost always dirty, and I watched the kid at the register bring a piece of fish back to the cook without so much as a glove on his hand... The prices are not cheap either, two seafood dinners (a piece of fish with one side) will run you $50 easy. I get the sense the owner of this location doesn't stop by often to check on how their staff is doing. When I visited recently a half an hour before closing time, the staff seemed irritated that they had to take another order and fire up the grill again...mind you I walked in at 6:30 not 6:50 when they close at 7. My flounder sandwich was large and fresh, but tasted like nothing as if no salt or seasoning was used in the fry batter. My wife said the same about her grilled halibut, fresh but lacking in flavor. All in all it works if you are in a pinch and want some fresh fish, but I would not go out of my way to eat here.

The people working there were really nice and let us eat there until 8. It is cute inside, with limited seating. They also have picnic tables outside. They sell wine, pasta, sauces, coffee beans, ice cream, etc. some from local companies/vendors. It's a fun place to browse. Their chicken sandwiches are good, but I always get a bowl with either chicken thighs or steak. They have excellent sauces and the food here is really good, albeit a bit on the saltier side. The clam chowder is nice and hearty. I also really like their drinks, including the strawberry rhubarb one and the lemonade.

We've been looking for a Scorpion bowl / scallion pancake house since China Rainbow in Watertown…read moreSquare closed, and I think the search is over. I may miss Tammy and the Mai Tais that could peel paint, but Magnolias delivers across the board. Scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy, and the dipping soy was rich with garlic and ginger. I ordered the Yu Xiang shrimp and asked them to make it spicy... it was perfect, with crisp vegetables in a flavorful sauce and a generous potion of shrimp, no shell. My girlfriend got the pineapple fried rice and while it didn't come in a pineapple, it was a solid meal... and nobody eats the pineapple bowl anyway. But what about the scorpion bowl? It came to the table cold, and while it wasn't as wide a bowl as a lot of places, it was deep, and it did not play. Let's just say you get your moneys worth... not just the rocket fuel, but fresh juices expertly blended with not too much ice. We still had ice in the bottom when we finished, but the shape of the bowl kept the smaller portion of ice colder longer so the ice didn't melt and water it down. Service was prompt and friendly, decor was tasteful and understated, settings were neat and clean. Bartender was hip and friendly. Spectacular. 10/10. We'll be back.

If I rated Luna only on the tacos I wouldn't be impressed. I've been spoiled by the many taquerias…read morein Florida I've been to, every single one of which had better ones in my experience. But what brings up my rating and gets me coming back (5 times and counting) is the variety, including more traditional Mexican dishes than the standard Tex-Mex, the very good drinks, the ambience, and great service. On my first visit the first thing I noticed is the "Luna" branding. The name and logo are on everything: the plates, the waiters' aprons, moon stencils on the chair backs, and more. This doesn't detract from the overall look and feel of the place, elegant but not stuffy. One more "luna" allusion: instead of chips with salsa they serve a large round crispy flat bread, presented vertically and obviously meant to suggest a full moon. Many people would probably prefer chips but that's a Tex-Mex thing so this is actually more authentic. And you won't fill up as easily munching on broken-off pieces of the "moon bread" as you would tortilla chips. The taco entree is 3 tacos, several varieties available, served with refried beans. I've had the chorizo and the Al Pastor. Mix and match not allowed unfortunately. They are both ok, and the tortillas are I believe made in house. The chorizo spicing was unimpressive. My chief "complaint" if that's the right word, is they are too simple: just the protein, some chopped onions, and cilantro. In my memory of great tacos I've had in the past there are a multitude of flavors and ingredients: onions prepared 2 or even 3 ways, sautéed and raw peppers, fresh avocado slices, etc. None of that here. Specialty sauces aren't offered by default but are provided on request. Two were brought to my table, one red and one green, both very hot. In small bowls so I don't know if they are home-made or commercial. I like a lot of sauce and always run out so next time I'll ask for a "double portion" and we'll see how that goes. The wife has had the beef fajitas. In my opinion the meat was overly marinated, with the wrong consistency and a flavor I don't expect in a fajita. And the vegetables were cooked with the meat so their flavor was muted. I'd pass on that. The Pollo Mole Poblano (chicken mole) was decent but there wasn't enough sauce. As was the enchiladas 3 ways (one each with chicken, beef, and cheese). Most entrees are served with a side of rice and refried beans, the latter served in a small fried tortilla cup. Portion sizes are reasonable. On the traditional Mexican side I've tried two meat-heavy entrees: Borrego Matitito's (marinated lamb shank with chili pepper sauce), and Chamorro's (a similar dish but made from pork shank, and different seasonings). I liked both but preferred the lamb, and the portion was larger too: enough for two meals. In the appetizer section I've had Pulpo Rasurado (octopus in salsa negra with red onions, cucumber, avocado, and radishes). A beautiful presentation and perfectly prepared (octopus can be tough and this was not). Also the Oysters Rockerfeller (not Mexican, I know). This could have been great but unfortunately was under-grilled so the cheese wasn't browned and bubbling. The table-side finishing treatment by the waiter with his hand torch wasn't enough either. Maybe he got impatient or maybe the butane was running out. I'd try it again though; it might have been an anomaly. Both these appetizer portions were huge, almost enough for a meal in itself. All the cocktails I've tried (several mescal concoctions and margaritas) have been tasty and seemed to have adequate alcohol content. Their gimmick here is all cocktails arrive bubbling and steaming like a witch's brew. I think it's from dry ice? That doesn't change the taste but may help to keep them cold and it's fun to watch. I've seen this before but usually it's reserved for one or two of the high-end specialties, not every cocktail. Nevertheless, the prices are in the normal range for cocktails these days, not excessive by that standard. Service has always been friendly and flawless. Desserts: We've tried two: The Pan de Elote is a cornbread cake served with ice cream and sauce, flambéed by the waiter at the table. And the churros: fried dough sticks covered with cinnamon, stuffed like cannoli, served with two sauces for dipping (chocolate and caramel), and served in a whimsical wheeled contraption resembling a food cart in miniature. The Pan de Elote is my favorite of the two but the churros were good too and the portion size was enormous! So until I can get back to Florida for some truly great Mexican I'm grateful to have Luna as an option.
