Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Luna has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. Luna was last inspected on Mar 11, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “raw chicken stored over and not properly separated” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

That's lower than the typical Stuart restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
