Luna was a wonderful experience! Everything was fantastic, from the patio views , to the service , to the food . Christian was our server, and we can’t thank him enough for his kindness, expertise, and prompt service . The focaccia , arancini , lemon spaghetti, swordfish were all wonderful . We enjoyed the lemon and spicy sausage pizza as well to share . The tiramisu was the final great touch to the night . The menu is a bit pricey , but overall worth the experience. Everyone seemed to go out of their way to make sure our evening was enjoyable. We would go back again.

We went to breakfast there today and we had one meal that wasn’t cooked the best and the server and the manager were fantastic about it. They turned a not so great experience into an unforgettable experience. They were just fabulous and it just goes to show you what kind of place Olive and Ivy is, Top Notch! I wish I remember the name of the server and the manager. We will definitely be back!!

Fantastic meal, service and vibe! Entire staff was friendly - not just our servers. No complaints about a single thing. Our main server, Jeffrey was very nice to chat with and he was so attentive, it seemed he was always at our table when we needed anything. Don't skip the guacamole or grits! We all had beef entrees which were cooked perfectly and couldn't have tasted any better. Our birthday dessert was a pumpkin bread pudding and it was so delicious I might even like bread pudding now!
