    We had a wonderful experience. We were waited on by several members of the staff including Arturo, the owner, who checked in with us several times. He made a few great recommendations and all were excellent. My sense is that anything they cook is topnotch. He also said they could cook what we wanted to order. I am not a big fan of food that is too spicy, so my paella came without spice. It was terrific. My wife had Arturo's tiramisu, which was excellent. One of the specials was French onion soup, and it was some of the best I have ever had. Everyone was friendly and jolly and stopped to chat without being in the way. We will be back soon.

    Food and service by Garret was great. We were visiting Houston for the first time in over 20 years when Mi Luna was our favorite place to eat when it was in the Village. The location & ambience is even better in Montrose. The tapas were just delicious. I highly recommend as there’s something for everyone

    For my first time ever coming to this place, it was amazing. Shout out to Vicky,Maggie, Fabion and Mary for making us feel at home and encouraging us to dance the night away. The live band knew how to set the mood. Food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were even better. Overall a nice little getaway.
