| - Cafe Luna looks like a whorehouse from the outside, because it's in a long brick building lined with small windows and from the outside, the indoor lighting looks skanky. With that said, I like the lighting. The inside decor is just... trying too hard, and I never use that phrase. The silky pillows that match the walls do not work.
Anyways, we ordered fried goat cheese balls, which was probably the best thing all night. The artichoke with brie sauce was a nice concept-- pluck off the leaves and dip in the little bowl of sauce that is the artichoke-- but the leaves barely had any meat on them, and were soggy and not very flavorful. My mom thought the artichoke had been frozen. The sauce, however, was very good without being too fondue-like. I ended up dipping bread in it. We also got the beef tenderloin, which was decent. It had a surprising heat... it wasn't even really spiciness, it was heat on the tip of my tongue and maybe once through my nose, but not a lingering hotness in my mouth. I thought it was similar to wasabi. It came with potatoes and onions that were perfectly cooked but plain. The cilantro-lemongrass pork rib was my favorite next to the goat cheese. The cilantro and lemongrass aren't very noticeable, in fact the flavors are kind of in the background. What I tasted was the meat, which was falling off the bone and really yummy. The creamy clams were gross. The sauce was pretty tasty, like a good alfredo, but the texture of the clams wasn't quite right. I thought they were too chewy and my friend didn't like how when she bit into them there was a lot of squirting action. The duck confit was a disappointment. The au jus (which I thought was chocolate at first... whatever) was really salty and the duck was just alright. My mom and friend really liked it, though. For dessert we had the cheesecake, which was very good and had fresh berries on it.
The food was hit or miss, and I would probably go back here with specific tapas to avoid if it weren't for the awful service. Our waiter only came around to take our order, refill an iced tea once, give us the check, and come back to get the check when we were standing up and putting our coats on. We were always given our food by different people, and had to ask them for refills and such. I don't know why he wasn't more attentive, and I don't really care either... he got a shitty tip. Oh, I thought the prices were really good. We got all of that for fifty-five bucks. Cafe Luna just needs more polish on their food and better trained waiters.
