They were very disorganized for a large party. Nothing was done on time. Then the food was not good. Chicken French was nothing like real chicken French. I was told the prime rib was not good. They said it was more like a potroast. It was very well done, not even the slightest pink. I cant comment on the vegetarian pasta as no one at my table had that one. Service was extreemly slow. They seem to be very shorthanded. But still the food should have been better. Very disappointing. They didnt even come close to living up to their reputation.

I think La Luna has one of the beat views in Rochester ny.We just had our wedding there and people were stunned about this wonderful place in downtown high falls.Great Italian Food was served to a lot of Italians among the invited and everybody loved it.The service was impeccable and flawless coordinated by the wonderful Emily, she was always available and attended to all our needs.Another thank you to the owner Stergio for making our wedding beautiful and fun giving us all the support we needed.Highly recommended for any party you have in mind.

I am on the board of the Rochester Spinal Association (a not-for-profit organization) and we were looking for a place to have our fundraiser dinner. We selected La Luna. We worked with Emily from day one, and she made the planning process very easy. The venue was beautiful. We were inside, but had access to the outside overlooking the gorge.

We had an amazing June 2019 wedding! The food was incredible (seriously the best wedding food you will find (...filet, arancinis, sea bass, mashed potatoes house made bread...yum!!!!) The staff worked hard and was friendly. The space beyond beautiful -and setup early so we could come early and take pics. Sure some difficulties with communications in advance so perhaps hire a day of coordinator if you want to alleviate those headaches.

Extremely spacious, and an amazing view I was there for my nieces birthday party so I cant really tell you about thier daily going ons and food but I enjoyed that night. Only downside is there is nowhere to park close to the building itself.

We were very excited to meet Amanda M. tonight at La Luna. She is the new event coordinator there and answered all of our questions and even gave some great suggestions! She is excited about all the new changes they are making there and made us even more excited about our upcoming event!!! Thanks Amanda!!!!

I know there have been conflicting reports over the past year but our experience was amazing. My son’s wedding was held there last July and friends still comment on what a lovely venue it was. The food was excellent. We worked with Emily who made sure every little detail was perfect. We loved being able to be both inside & outside.

We put a deposit down in March for a Jan. 1st 2021 wedding. Covid hit and restrictions started. ( Which we were perfectly fine with) On Nov. 20th we had our tasting with Emily and Stergios (The Event Planer and Owner.) During this time Rochester was in the Yellow Zone for Covid. Stergios stated that as long as Rochester does not move into the Red Zone for Covid that La Luna would have our wedding. Both Emily and Stergios both said if anything changes (Restrictions Wise) they will call or email us with any updates. On Nov. 25th Rochester moved into the Orange zone for Covid. We were not contacted with any updates to our wedding.(We assumed nothing had changed) On Dec 12th Governor Cuomo Banned Bars from being open and indoor dinning. We did not receive any updates from Emily or Stergios about any new restrictions for our up and coming wedding. ( So we thought nothing had changed referring to La Luna) On Dec. 27th ( 4 Days before our wedding) we received an email from Emily Stating that because of the restrictions they can not have our wedding on Jan. 1st. 2021After a conference call with Emily and Stergios they claimed that this is no ones fault and that there is nothing they can do about. No one mention of moving the date or trying to figure out a way to make this work.I emailed Emily and Stergios on Dec. 29th saying how displeased I was with the way they were handling this situation. It makes me angry that La Luna is not taking any responsibility in this situation.I have yet to hear back from Emily or Stergios.They still have my Deposit and did not provide me with a service.

La Luna is a beautiful venue! We had the perfect day for our September wedding. With Amanda as our event coordinator I felt confident our day would be perfect! She was very positive and seemed to really enjoy what she does. Amanda was very quick to respond to emails and solved any problems quickly, she made our rehearsal and wedding day run smooth and stress free! The food was great, the view was beautiful We absolutely loved this venue and if we could do it all over again we would still choose la Luna!

Nice outdoor area with great food. Good service. Apparently its more popular to eat here for lunch, or a weekend dinner. We went on a Thursday night and there was literally no one in the restaurant but us the entire time we were there, it was a little unsettling but great food and service.

I ordered the special of the day which featured Combo #5 and a drink for $11.70. Combo #5 included a cheese enchilada, tostada, beans, and rice. There is an area inside where you can sit down and eat or you can choose to take food to go. There are complimentary chips and bottles of salsa which can be pretty spicy or mellow

It was great. Great food. Imentioned how hot the balcony was when I was outside smoking a cig with some random guy. I said I was dying of heat. He asked do you want me to turn the AC on up there? It was the owner! I had no clue. By the time I got back to my table up there, it had already cooled down significantly. Funny as hell. Great guy! Great place.

Review №28

Weird and awkward atmosphere! How do you mess up a business with a great location and great view? Someone is not managing this restaurant wisely.We called ahead and we were told that they were busy but could squeeze us in. When we arrived to our surprise the restaurant was half full (at best). It took us over 20 minutes to get our drinks ordered which seemed way too long especially considering they were not busy. The food was good, however nothing to rave about. My mushroom ravioli was good but literally had only four small ravioli for almost $20. They didnt even provide you a salad with your entree which is normal in just about every italian restaurant. As far as our waiter he had no personality and didnt even know if he could serve us the bottle of wine we ordered because it had a 2008 vintage. We sat outside; there was no lighting, no music, no atmosphere at all. All in all we would not go back until they make some serious changes. The only thing that is going for them right now is the view and the food wasnt terrible.

Had an incredible dinner here last night!! The place is beautiful and classy. The food was terrific! We had lobster ravioli and chicken parm. The portions are unbelievable and the taste even better. The chef himself, Tango, came out and chatted with us. Highly, HIGHLY recommend trying this place and believe it is a hidden secret in Rochester!

Review №33

I must admit the venue has a nice view, but the serve stinks. I attended a birthday party there this past weekend and I couldnt believe how blatantly disrespectful the staff was. They acted as though they donated the venue and their serves to my friend and her family. The waitresses were extremely rude and showed a lack of enthusiasm when dealing with the guest. Not only were they rude they definitely lacked home training... One waitress walked by our table and passed gas (More like a stink bomb) as we were trying to eat the cold food they served us. The food was so cold it appeared as though it was prepared the night before and served to us the next day without being heated up. I would never recommend anyone... Not even a dog to rent this venue for any purpose. The only recommendation I would give is for this owner and his staff to attend some hospitality courses at Monroe Community College. Maybe theyd learn how to appreciate paying customers especially those of another ethnicity/race.

Very nice place. Very nice staff. The view is perfect. The bistro lights got left up at no charge but there were a lot of lights out. The greenery from the decorations were not fluffed. Also a request about light behund the curtains which was advertised was not fullfilled. The good was very good.

Was there today for the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure Champions Event. Im not sure that La Luna serves as a restaurant there days but its a great event space with wonderful views of High Falls and the Genesee River gorge. For our event we had a great selection of appetizers that were very satisfying. My only ding was that there werent enough tables for everyone to sit but that was minor.

Review №38

Great wedding venue and fantastic value, however after the wedding they lost a box of our centerpieces and our cake cutter. We did not get much feedback from them after or any offer to help us find our missing items.la Luna could reconsile this, it was a 5 star wedding but a 1 star experience after the fact. Once they had our money they were just on to the next event and left us a bad taste in our mouth.

My friend had her wedding here last night and I was extremely disappointed with the owner. About two months before the wedding the owner phoned the couple asking them to change their date because there was a second wedding at the venue. They said no. The venue still held two weddings. The owner was a half hour late opening up in the morning for family members to setup. When the bride arrived she found the bridal room for her to get dressed in was a public bathroom. My guess is they gave their birdal room to the other bride but we were told that the bathroom was the bridal room. There was nowhere for the bride to keep her belongings during the wedding so they were left in the bathroom. When it was time for dinner to be served We were informed that dinner would be 30 minutes late because of the other wedding. The owner pulled the bride and groom and informed them that the 4- hour open bar would be closed at 9:00. The bride became upset because she was walking down the aisle at 5:00. Drinks werent being served. The owner of this venue made the bride cry multiple times during her reception. The servers were great. One even apologized to the bride. The venue has a beautiful view.

My future mother-in-law and I attempted to contact both the manager and event director at La Luna numerous times to discuss potentially holding my wedding reception at the restaurant next summer. Despite our emails, calls, and even an in person visit over the course of three weeks, neither of us ever got any response. Very disappointed in La Lunas lack of professionalism.

I contacted this place numerous times through separate forms of communication and was ignored on all fronts. Even left me on read on Facebook and never replied once. Never an email back, text, phone call. Nothing. I was looking to book a wedding reception so it wasnt like it was pointless. Disappointed in the lack of professionalism and organization because it looks like a gorgeous venue. After reading more reviews it seems like I dodged a bullet.

My husband and I got married at La Luna in August of 2017. It was such a beautiful, wonderful day, and this venue is an amazing space for a wedding reception!I will start with the fact that I was no bride-zilla and I did not have every single detail needing to be an exact specific way, which I think helped with how this place is run. The event coordinator does take her time getting back to you, but so long as you are giving yourself enough time in the planning process you will not have any issues. I found Noy to be completely accommodating to the majority of our needs leading up to the big day, I luckily did not experience the many short comings that many people on these reviews have brought up. The only bad I heard from the guests were the last ones to the buffet; and apparently they had run out of chicken.We had a great weather day, so we were able to utilize the outdoor space for people to mingle during cocktail hour and during the dancing. We had about 165 guests and there was plenty of room for more if we had needed! The bartenders were so quick and pleasant, the only lines I saw was when the bar had first opened for cocktail hour and then when it reopened after dinner. This space really is such a beautiful venue and I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique space that can work for any themed event.

8 foot table had 8 place settings. Waitresses informed us that we had to make room for 2 more places. Our plates were on top of saucers on either side. There was no room for 2 additional place settings. They would not bring up another table. A few of us refused to eat our meal hooking elbows with the person on either side. Some of us walked out after the salad. I definitely do NOT recommend this place for anything!

Review №61

Glad Im not the only one that feels that way about planning a Wedding there. Its a beautiful venue and great food. However, the owner is also the event planner and nothing is written out. Everytime you ask a question its like open ended and whatever you want but you have to figure it out. There is no help from the venue. It is definitely added stress to an already stressful event, like Ive never got married before, I dont know what Im doing.

I am only giving this 1 start because there is no option for 0 stars... We had a bridal shower at LaLuna, the venue setting is beautiful but they never cleaned up the cobwebs, the event coordinator, Noy, never responded to us until the day before the shower and when she did respond, she changed almost everything on us (the pricing, the time we could show up to setup, the menu...)... Then the day of, she showed up 10 minutes before the event started, so her poor staff couldnt find everything to help us setup, she tried to blame the bartender for her mistakes, when they served the food was the time she decided to tell us that they were NOT making the 4 Gluten Free meals we were promised (so our guests didnt have much to eat). Fortunately we did a great job at decorating ourselves because leaving anything up to Noy meant we wouldnt have had a bridal shower at all.

On the one hand, the food is typically great. On the other, if you dont order ahead youre going to be there for an hour and a half because the service is so slow. If La Luna worked out their service issues (how can I order ahead for pickup and it be ready in 10 minutes but if I sit down it takes 45?) this would be a premier location.

Owner very rude. Event planner Noy was awful, rude and disrespectful. They did not honor the written contract, changed things without notice, event started at 5 and food was put out at 5:30 without notice. Noy yelled stating we were scratching the floors which was not true. Floors have not been done since the all white party I attended in 2004. Dealing with management was very overwhelming and I would not recommend this venue to anyone until there is new management. The kitchen staff were great.

We were at a wonderful bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law on Saturday June 18th at LaLuna Restaurant in High Falls. It was a beautiful day, beautiful setting accept for the woman who manages the events. Her name is Noy & she is a very unprofessional, irresponsible, condescending,arrogant young lady. She called us to make changes to our arrangements at 9:30 PM the evening prior to the event. We tried to contact her a number of times via email & phone & she never responded till the week of the event. We asked for a written contract of all the details & expenses & never received that. She then agreed verbally to all our requests then comes up with different charges & excuses the day of the event. She walked in at 10:50 when the event was to begin at 11 & barked orders to us & her servers. The staff was not informed nor trained to do their jobs properly. Those young servers were so sweet but clueless. The only friendly professional was the bartender who tried to cover up for her inept behavior & was extremely helpful beyond words. I would never trash someones business but I feel she was deceitful & knew she had us over a barrel at this time . Besides she tried to blame all her problems on the only working employee ( the bartender)!!!! If you do not want anyone else to be taken over, please repost this so no one else has their event ruined. It really is a shame that such a wonderful venue is under such poor management & that the owner will suffer due to him trusting the wrong person to run his business. To add insult to injury, we were at the venue 3 times that week to go over the cleanliness of the exterior patio. The Windows & patio had not been cleaned in a few years!! They promised it would be cleaned up by our event but could not promise about the cottonwood flying around. That is understood but the cobwebs, Windows & sweeping of the patio were not touched. BEWARE if Noy is in charge if you are planning an event at LaLuna.
