4.8 / 5.0(120 reviews)

We stopped here for lunch on our way from the airport to our villa and was so impressed. The grounds are beautiful and the tofu bowl hit the spot. The watermelon crushes were great too! Perfect drink after a long flight. The staff was wonderful and kind- definitely a great place to check out for lunch, dinner or just drinks We went to Lua on the last night of our vacation and it was the perfect choice! The ambiance, and sunset were amazing! It was such a beautiful place. We were there on a Friday and Fridays are when they have a pizza special with drink specials from 6-8. The pizzas were phenomenal, and drinks were just as good. Our server was so nice too! Overall would definitely go back for pizza and the sunset! Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of dishes eating in the bar on our first night here. Thai beef salad, chili tofu, scallop tiradito, and Korean crispy rice were all quite good. Local beers from Turk’s Head are available but not highlighted on menu — way better than the more expensive imported Coors Light.

Spent four days in Turks with my best friend, and this place by far the best meal we had.Originally we stayed at the Ritz and were underwhelmed. We met a wonderful guy named Tenny who arranged for us to come to Lua, as you can see the restaurant is gorgeous. The sunset was just as spectacular as the food, true fine dining but still relaxed calm atmosphere. Our waitress was just the best, sweet, kind and funny who had a lovely singing voice- table next to us was celebrating an anniversary. Highly recommend.

I recently visited Lua for lunch with my family, and while the setting impressed, the dining experience had its highs and lows. From the moment we walked in, Lua’s ambiance set a strong first impression. The space exudes a beautiful, bohemian charm, with warm wooden accents and calming earth tones. It feels peaceful and luxurious—an inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxed dining. The menu leans toward a healthy-lifestyle aesthetic, which aligns well with the vibe. Service was another highlight. We were warmly welcomed by Joan, who was vibrant, friendly, and made us feel instantly at home. Our server, Paula, continued that positive experience with a bright, warm smile and attentive service throughout our meal. Both Joan and Paula delivered excellent customer care—truly 10/10. Unfortunately, the lunch menu itself didn’t quite match the ambiance or service. Compared to a previous dinner experience at Lua, the midday offerings felt underwhelming. Portions were notably small and not fully composed, often requiring multiple items to feel satisfied. That said, what we did eat was well-seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. We tried the salmon and the teriyaki bowl. The teriyaki scored a solid 8/10—flavorful and satisfying. The salmon was even better at 8.5/10, thanks to its freshness and seasoning, but it could have really benefited from a heartier base—perhaps wild rice or roasted vegetables—to round out the dish and still maintain the healthy feel. The watermelon cocktail was light, refreshing, and enjoyable, though not extraordinary. I’d give it a 7/10. For dessert, we tried the churros and bread pudding. The churros were excellent—crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, and an easy 9/10. The bread pudding, however, was a miss. Made with a croissant as the base, it didn’t hold up well against the cream sauce. By the time we got to it, it had turned soggy—unfortunately reminiscent of corn flakes cereal that's sat too long in milk. That one was a 2/10 for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the flavors though, especially the pistachio addition, and the lightness of the cream sauce. One final note: the number of menus was overwhelming. We were handed five—a specials menu, a new wing special menu, the main dining menu, a wine list, and cocktail menu. It made the ordering process unnecessarily complicated and somewhat confusing.Thankfully, Paula stepped in and supported with the selection process. Overall, I’d rate our lunch experience at Lua a 6/10. The atmosphere and service were top-tier, but the food, while flavorful, lacked substance and cohesion in the lunch offerings. With a few adjustments—especially to portioning and menu presentation—Lua could turn a good experience into a great one.
