We had a great experience here. My wife is gluten free and finding accomodating restaurants can be challenging. The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will certainly be back

We ended up here on a whim the day of the fall festival. It was crowded but we were seated very quickly. The service was great and was completely unaffected by how packed it was. They had gluten free options available (even dessert, which is rare). I had a BLT on a gluten free bun AND a gluten free strawberry shortcake. I will absolutely be back.

Always impressed by the fresh and creative weekly specials! The staff is incredibly friendly and well-versed in dietary restrictions… there’s no shortage of delicious gluten-free options! Mark is the friendliest bartender 🍷, and Luca is a thoughtful owner who ensures every visit outshines the last. A true neighborhood gem! 💎

Emily Morgan

Very gluten free friendly! I felt very safe eating there with my daughter that has celiac disease. Our food was amazing and the drinks were yummy. Having a playground there for our wild child was amazing. We loved sitting in the sand and listening to music. We got there at 430 and had zero wait. When we left closer to 6, the line was insane. Definitely recommend going a bit early. We will definitely be returning!

Took my girlfriend for her birthday. She has Celiac. The menu options were plentiful. The food was excellent. The staff was attentive but not intrusive.

Amazing gluten/dairy free pizza...highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my food and drink. My family was not as impressed. I had an Irish coffee with a club on a gluten-free bun. The sandwich had a huge amount of turkey, and the bacon was nice and crisp. It came with a lot of chips. I needed to ask for mayo as it only came with a small smear of Dijon. One kid had the same on a pretzel bun and enjoyed his as well, but also said his was dry and added mayo. 2 kids and my husband tried the mac and cheese. They all said it was mid. It was explained as sticky and dry. It was not creamy at all. The crab mac seemed to have cheese on the top and bottom but not the middle. One kid said they tasted the crab in the mac, and the other one said they couldn't taste it at all. She barely touched her meal, and we came in hungry! The thing that brought the rating down the most was my husband's meal. The ceasar salad did not have enough dressing to even speak on the flavor. The rack of ribs maybe had 2.5 ounces of meat. That "rack" was about as big as my husbands palm. It was one of their higher priced dishes and was totally disappointing. The barbecue sauce was an afterthought. It was smeared on and not even put back into the oven to caramelize. My husband also had some wine that he said tasted like box wine. One kid had fish and chips. I tasted the fish. I thought it was pretty good. The batter could have been lighter. The inside was a little mushy. Kid didn't really eat his meal. He had half of his dad's mac and my chips. But that worked out. My hubby was able to substitute his lacking meal. One kid had nachos. He enjoyed them and almost finished. This is from a kid who complains about nothing. A true gem in this world! All in all, for the price, we felt "mom could do better." In fact, my husband said he could do better. In all fairness, I love being in the kitchen and have about 20 years of making things from scratch, but it hurts when we spend $250 and are not satisfied. The service was great. Atmosphere was bar like. Food was only there to soak up alcohol if you had 1 too many drinks and had to beg the kitchen to turn on the fryer 30 minutes before closing.

We visited Baltimore this weekend and had lunch @ Philips, it was a great experience especially thanks to Ruslan’s service, I have dietary restrictions due to celiac disease and he was very supportive of my need and everything was good, no issues with food Food was tasty and had good quality, we sat outside as the weather was very nice and very enjoyable

Laura Bagley

We really enjoyed our meal here. There were lots of gluten free options (including crab cakes!), and the staff seemed very well-versed in dietary restrictions. And how many places offer endless sides?! Our server, Sierra, was great: friendly, professional, and efficient. The view from upstairs is incredible. We have nothing but good things to say about this place and we'll definitely return in the future!

Tammy Jarman

I took my family tonight for restaurant week. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server came over quickly and was attentive but not too much. The menu was extensive and the choices were outstanding. My young grandson was with us who needed a gluten free option. The server was able to help with an excellent option. The food was great as was the service. We all highly recommend Luna Blu and we will be going back again in the near future.

Great service! And amazing food. Delicious masa calamari, curried mussels, and creme brulee with chocolate ganache on the bottom. Gluten free friendly.

Leigh Frame

My favorite item is the grilled wings. They are so delicious with a bit of smokiness, and they are gluten free (I have Celiac disease). Several other GF items including buns.

We went for Lobster night!! My fam all had lobster and absolutely loved it. I ordered the vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy free stir fry on noodles.... and wow... this dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the dish was amazing ... the most stand-out taste explosion for my palette was the incredible cauliflower steak placed on top of the dish.. all I can say is this is a must get dish!!! I also enjoyed an order of sweet potato fries done to perfection. I did not leave a crumb.... of anything!! This restaurant is employee owned. My experience with our server and watching and listening to the other servers, is they see the customer as family or potential family!!! Incredible tastes, fantastic service, atmosphere perfection, and a must experience restaurant on any journey.!!🦄🙏🌈🩵🩷

Solid solid spot. Especially love the God Bless America volume turning up. Our son has celiacs and they were super cautious and receptive to our needs. Highly recommend

I'm saddened and truly bothered by my last visit. There were two places I could get crab cakes before, and now there's one. Because after coming here for years, not only did they accidentally feed me a crab cake that wasn't gluten free, the manager lied to me about what they serve, and took no accountability. And its upsetting. Because between me and the people I've had treat me to this place in the past couple of years, I've brought in thousands to Pappas. I complain one time, and I get a ridiculous response. I visited on 5/25/25, shortly after "after hours" began (that's when I normally go). I ordered the gluten free crab cake and fries. I knew it wasn't gluten free, as I started having the reaction I have, whenever I ingest gluten. I didnt eat the second crab cake or the rest of the fries. I normally eat both, no issue. I arrived the next morning, before the store opened, to let them know what happened and get a refund. It's not like I ate the entire thing. My reaction start before digestion does, so I knew not to keep eating. I told the manager I was having a reaction because I'm gluten intolerant, and she said they didnt have gluten in them. And she was certain because of the spice they use on the gluten free crab cakes. I said, well I'm certain I ate gluten, because I'm having the reaction. I asked could it have been the fries, being fried with food that isn't gluten free (cross contamination). This woman lied to me and told me they dont serve fried food (while we were talking about fries). From what I understand, most of the food after hours is fried. I'm trying to understand why after coming here for years, they think that I would up and make this up. I LOVE that crab cake. But I promise I will never buy it again. To make matters worse, the manager was also gluten free. And if its for an intolerance like me, her being a woman, and knowing the reaction it causes, well its messed up for her not to care and to lie to my face like that. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE GLUTEN INTOLERANT; IF THEY ARENT CAREFUL AND PAYING ATTENTION LIKE THEY HAVE AT EVERY OTHER VISIT OF MINE, THEY WILL FEED YOU THE GLUTEN AND TAKE NO ACCOUNTABILITY. At the very least, if I dont like something, I have the right to a refund. She didnt refund me for the one crab cake I did bring back. She handled this matter horribly. I'm fighting to get my money back in another way, but I shouldn't have to. I spent $70 on food I couldn't finish and that made me sick (i have the RX receiptto prove it-submitting to my bank). That is abhorrent. *UPDATE* Attached a pic of the reply email I sent after receiving the response, which totally negates their apology and accountability. We'll see if they actually do anything.

I ate here a few days ago! Nothing GF marked on the menu, but the server walked me through everything that was safe. No chips due to a shared fryer, but a lot of the tacos can be made GF. She let me know that the kitchen staff would use clean pans and utensils and change their gloves to make my meal. No reactions :)

Let me start by saying it would've been 5 stars had there not been condensation dripping from the ceiling air conditioning onto our table. I understand the weather has been weathering, there really wasn't anything that could be done about it. We we allowed to switch tables, the GM was very attentive and offered us free dessert, and our waiter Owen, was the BOMB! Very personable, attentive too. The atmosphere was a nice vibe. Family friendly, but a pre game spot for sure if you know what I mean!!! I enjoyed the music, not too loud, and everything was pretty to look at. Party of 3. Our water glasses stayed filled, and the food was SLAPPIN. I had the fish fingers, and the other parties had the fish of the day (market price), and fish tacos. Every plate left the table EMPTY. And the bread????? Yummy. Smells like doughnuts but isnt sweet. We all had alcoholic beverages. For all that, bill was reasonably priced. My first time visiting, and I will definitely be back again!!!! Oh, and they had vegetarian and gluten free options, allergies was asked about prior to ordering.

The lobster night menu was an absolute bargain. The wait staff was great, and they were knowledgeable about celiac disease. I did not have any issues eating here and would go back.

We had a great meal here! We were a party of 5 on a Friday night and the service from Shannon was great! We started with their monthly wine special which was a steal at $35 for a reserve bottle of Montepulciano. I am gluten free and was offered housemade GF bread that was literally some of the best GF bread I have ever had. The menu also had many GF choices including salads, entrees, pastas and desserts. I chose Chicken Marsala with GF penne and it was delicious! The others at our table had lasagna. Chicken Parm, and a seafood pasta. For dessert, we had carrot cake, coconut pie and lemon dessert that was GF and the table favorite. For 5 people, bottled wine, salads, entrees and 3 dessert it was under $200-great value!

Best brewery in this area. (Blueberry, passion fruits was Soooo good). And they have a Gluten-free beer too. Foods are so delicious. Crab pizza was a hit. Fiah taco, pork taco was really delicious. Tuna tadaki was very good. Korean gochujang chicken wing was good too. And side dishes are very tasty too. Meatloaf was really delicious. Appetizers are really good, we had to order another round again. Clean and nice staffs. Ruddy duck made whole family a very happy dinner. We will be back.

Daniel Hulter

Great spot, very accommodating to celiac (gluten free) options. Delicious, quick, solid sushi and drinks

Crystal Fallon

Food was decent. Love that they offer gluten free options . However, my food came out very cold almost frozen. The manager was nice and took money off the bill. Overall it was a decent resruraunt.

Julie

Had breakfast twice. The food was good and portion size nice. Coffee was weak and cold. Had to keep asking to be refilled and for more creamers and sugar. They did have an option for gluten free bread for a charge.

Jessica Horn

This will now be a must eat spot when we travel to OC. The gluten-free options were great! The Mahi dish...Holy smokes y'all!!!

The restaurant location is a little obscure and a bit hard to find. Once we arrived, we were surprised by the diner like decor of the restaurant and how empty it was. Super super impressed with their ability to accommodate gluten-free options! We ordered appetizers and entrees - overall, the food was delicious, very well prepared, & good size portions. The kitchen turned around the food orders quickly. The service was definitely lacking. Our server was a bit nutty, had an attitude, and had to be reminded of segments of our order. Don't appreciate feeling like we are inconveniencing him for having a 7pm reservation. If that was later than he wanted to stay, then they should stop taking reservations beyond 6 pm. I don't think our expectations were high for service - just looking for our server to be nice. Eye rolling when taking our order is not professional nor respectful. While the food was great, I'm not sure we will return...too many good restaurants in the area that care about customer service.

Went today for the Easter Buffet with family. Everything was absolutely delicious, even my gluten free options! The service was top notch.

Gluten free roll fell apart but that I guess should be expected. Drinks were good and everyone working there was pleasant

Our work dinner was excellent! Everyone found great options on the menu after sharing several appetizers! And there were delicious gluten-free options as well!

My first time here. Customer service was eh. Helpfulness eh eh . The lobster roll on gluten free bun was very good. I don’t have anything to compare it to because it was my first lobster roll ever, but it was good. Wasn’t very clean or welcoming in the dining area and the employees hid in the back when they weren’t making orders.

The gluten free crab cakes were delicious! Make sure to call ahead at least 24 hours beforehand to make a reservation, and let them know how many gluten free servings you’d like to order. It’s an expensive meal, but that’s to be expected with fresh crab, and we felt that it was well worth it for the portion (An 11 ounce portion is $37).
