| - Luna's is good comfort food in a cozy setting. The menu selections won't knock your socks off, but the selections are "down home yummie" and the portions are generous.
My wife and I visited for dinner on a Tuesday evening. There were three or four other tables taken when we entered. Our waitress, Jillian (sp?), greeted us and got our drink orders out very quickly. We both ordered one of the daily specials -- Hawaiian Chicken -- which was served with the entree, choice of potato, vegetables, soup, AND a dessert, all for $8.99. Jillian said we could substitute a salad for the soup for an extra dollars, but we just had the soup. My wife had the tomato and rice while I had chicken noodle. The soups were hot and flavorful, even if a little on the salty side.
When the chicken was served, I was surprised at the portion size. Both of us received two good-sized chicken breasts along with the sides mentioned above. I had mashed potatoes and gravy while my wife had the hash browns. Neither of us could finish the meal and we each took one chicken breast and a fair portion of our potatoes home. The steamed vegetables were pretty standard and appeared to be a reheated frozen mixture of carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli. Nothing special, but they were served hot and they were filling.
The chicken was also hot and cooked properly. I am guessing that the "Hawaiian" nature was simply the result of taking the regular chicken entree and adding teriyaki sauce and pineapple tidbits. It wasn't bad, but the chicken would have benefited from being marinated beforehand.
Dessert choices were limited to orange Jello or rice pudding (ack!), but Jillian was a trooper and let me taste the rice pudding before I went with the Jello...
I wouldn't call Luna's "fine dining," but that's not what they claim to be, either. It was good food, though, and the service was great!
We have also eaten breakfast at Luna's and enjoyed it very much. Again, basic "Americana" fare, but made and served well!
