Tapa La Luna - DeKalb (IL)

1 /5 Rich McGee: My how the mighty have fallen. We moved from DeKalb roughly six years ago. When we lived there, we frequented Tapa. The service wasn’t always the best, but the food held up. Last night we were in town for a party and we stopped by for tapas and a couple of cocktails. We were told our cocktail order was delayed because the bar staff needed to wash the martini glasses. Really? All of the food was awful - truly bad. Had I made anything like it at home it would have never made it to the table. Greasy, flavorless, weird. Plus, the order was wrong, the service was slow (that is an understatement), and the place seemed to be operated by young people lacking experience which is not the vibe the menu and prices dictate. Very disappointing (also an understatement).

5 /5 Xabier Granja: Excellent restaurant. We focused our dinner on tapas, getting a variety for the table. Just because it’s tapas don’t expect Spanish food, it is not - the inspiration comes from many types of cuisines. Overall we liked them all a lot, and the desserts were also excellent - particularly the chocolate cake. Our server was delightful and contributed to our having a great night. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in town.

2 /5 Emmanuel Cook: The food is terrible. We thought since the prices were on the higher end the food would be good. Our bill was over 80$. And we only took 2 bites. Me and my wife left this place and went to Burger King.

2 /5 Theresa Zugay: Would comeback when I have much more time. Thought an hour and a half would be more than enough time for tapas and a few drinks before a show at the Egyptian Theater, it absolutely was not. I understand tapas are supposed to be consumed at a slower pace, but for being so close to a theater and having let the staff know we were going to a show, the service was slow and the food took unreasonably long to come out. 3 Seared scallops should take minutes. We waited almost a half an hour. In conclusion if you have time it’s worth a try, if you are going to a show make sure you have at least 3 hrs before it starts.

5 /5 Chris Ellis: Wonderful restaurant with very reasonable prices. They often have live music which is a great touch. Unfortunately they only have one TV above the bar, and its rather small. But overall the quality of food and atmosphere is hard to beat.
