| - I'm going to start out my review by saying this is my favorite place to get Sunday brunch in Champaign. I almost took off a star for... reasons I will explain momentarily, but don't go thinking "oh, only 4 stars, I can get this brunch elsewhere in town." You can't. It's also cheaper and better to go here than Jim Gould or Radio Maria, the other Sunday Brunch games in town.
I'm also hesitant to write a super glowing review because if suddenly everyone started to go there and I had a super long wait, I would cry.
The service used to be ridiculously bad, as previous reviews have stated, but obviously somebody had a word with somebody, because the last several times I have been there, this is no longer the case.
The omelets are delicious. I don't like omelets because they're hard and brown on the outside, but not so at Luna. Soft oozy egg. I'm sure some people would say they're not cooked enough, but those people are just so wrong. And the choices of omelet are delicious, as are the roasted potatoes and petite salad that comes with the omelet.
I get muesli every time I go, because I'm like that and it's Really Good, but if I weren't on a quasi-diet I'd get beignets instead.
Admittedly, I tend to be more pro-coffee than pro-cocktail in the AM, but if you're the mimosa/bloody mary type, they've certainly got them. I don't know where they get it, but the coffee is good too.
It's not perfect. The cinnamon rolls were only ok. I've had avocado issues. One time the kitchen forgot to put it in the omelet, and the next time they didn't have avocado and the waiter didn't tell me my omelet was coming out sans avocado.
A Chicago reviewer would say "there are kinks." I must say however, it's delicious, and you should totally go.
