This is our last night in Playa and are so glad we chose Luma. Food was really delicious, our daughters had homemade seafood pasta and my husband and I had robalo. Service was outstanding, Eric was attentive and made sure we had a pleasant time. We definitely recommend Luma!

Eric and Adam provided excellent service and we had a fabulous dining experience. We tried 2 different margaritas (the King and Grand Marnier), we ordered a bottle of Super Tuscan wine - all were yummy. They served us a basket of bread and bread sticks along with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The tagliatelle with lobster was delicious and so was the spaghetti with seafood. They were able to accommodate the one guest in our group who had a shrimp allergy. I enjoyed a cappuccino and the Millefoglie. I highly recommend this restaurant and would go again.

Don't judge a book by its cover. We went on NYE with a pre-set menu. This is tiny, very modest looking restaurant. My wife and I felt overdressed, as we sat near guests wearing shorts and kids crying. But the food, presentation and service was exceptional and worthy of any 5 star restaurant.

Myself and two friends have been coming for PDC every year since 2011. We’ve seen it change a lot. As 5th Ave gets busier and busier and more bigger restaurants take over, we are always happy to find these little off the beaten track places like Luma. It’s quiet with attention to detail in their food and hospitality. The octopus was a stand out!

This is the second time I’ve been to Luma and it was even better than the last. The food is delicious, beautifully plated, with a decent portion size. The staff there really makes the experience special and brings over so many drinks and appetizers on the house. They really are the best restaurant staff I’ve ever seen. And to to top it off, they have some of the best desserts I have ever eaten. I will return to this restaurant every single time I come to Playa. You can’t miss it!

We absolutely loved our experience. We celebrated our anniversary and everything that they did was so thoughtful and sweet. Our server's English was amazing! He went above and beyond. He gave us great food and drink recommendations. The food and drinks were all amazing. When it came time for dessert, they played us a special song and lit a firework. Our dessert was on the house. Our server also took such amazing pictures and videos from the night. We are so sad that we forgot his name, or else we would give him a shoutout. He should really get recognition for this evening. It was magical. We will not forget this evening!! Highlight of our time in Playa del Carmen.

Restaurant was in a great location, in a very fun part of town and close enough to the water. Service was very good. Food was just ok, some meals came out much earlier than everyone else. Food quality and preparation could use some attention. Overall good place to eat.
