| - I'm one of the few reviewers here who prefer the new downtown location to the campus. The room is larger ( I was always being shoe-horned into a seat in the campus location, getting hit by everyone else trying to move anywhere), the decor more stylish, the whole "feel" more intimate.
The food remains the same: tapas and entrees, almost always good, but not consistently so. I've been here quite often; still, I must confess that I have never had an entree at Luna, on campus or downtown. I always get the tapas. I've found my favorites - the goat cheese balls, the pesto burgers, the tuna tartare - and those come out reliably delicious. They are also the proper serving size. Far too many tapas restaurants call regular portions "tapas" (Radio Maria is real committer of this sin), which spoils the point of "little bites." Spouse gets the parmesan fries and artichoke.
Luna's tapas is clean-tasting and fresh, not over greasy. They are also creative. Partly because of that, I do wish that the tapas menu changed more frequently or that specials were more extensive.
Like other reviewers, I've had trouble with service. It's been hit and miss. Getting bread to the table and refilling the water pitcher seems to consistently flummox the wait staff, but like the little girl with the curl, when the service is good, it's great.
