Luna offers a nice blend of upscale hotel bar/lounge and a classic restaurant. Seating is available at the bar area, which is a bit on the small side, the main "dining" area, or a small area with two sets of low couches; my wife and I chose the couches for a more comfortable and low-key vibe. Service was slow...it took a good 15 minutes for a server to come by, and they were not that busy. But she was friendly. As promised, the menu offers a lot of Mediterranean fare. We shared the hummus plate and a platter. Both were delicious. The pita bread was not crispy - just warm - so we asked for a side of lavash/crackers. That was perfect. Drinks (Old Fashioned for me, Cosmo for her) were good! Their lemoncello lemon drop was great.

Had the Mediterranean salad and added the Mediterranean salmon. It had great flavor and the salad was fresh. A great gluten free option. I would order it again.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options

At first inspection menu is limited on Main courses. The Small Plates are too large to be appetizers. Examples: The Spanish Meatballs are 5 to the portion. Greek salad is NOT a "side salad" and the Sea Scallops are 3 of a good size. Everything I ate over 2 days was delicious and superbly presented. Hostess and waitstaff were at tentative and knowledgeable.

Our steak was so so dry... must have been frozen for weeks and just thrown on the grill.... The server didn't know what he is doing. Asked one person for drinks and never asked anyone. Decor is nice... that's all... never food there again.. ruined our valentine...

i arrived ahead of my team and the wait staff sat me early. I ordered Gin Bombay Sapphire and Tonic for $9. Crazy right? Not bad to start my meeting. Finally my team arrived on time. we ordered Octopus, Baklava Chickens wings, Meds shrimps, Meds Pulled Bread, and Barbara Potato. all were wow! My main course, i ordered Lamb Ragu. My team ordered ribeye steak, red snapper and flat bread. All superb!! Tasty every each one my only beef I wanted some french bread. While having dinner it was decided by my own team we are targeting 25% over sales quota. I promised to return in June if we come close to our Mid numbers. It was a perfect night for a pow wow!

very good food and restaurant, which is in the Hilton hotel, was not busy for a Friday night. There were not a lot of servers but that made sense for the limited amount of diners. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly and we enjoyed our experience. The wine list, while not extensive, was reasonable but the red wine we selected was not cool so the server promptly brought us an ice bucket which we requested.

The calamari had to much breading, was over fried and too salty. The spicy lamb sausage Flatbread was delish.

Despite a reservation and an in person check-in the day before, the restaurant WAS NOT ready for our reservation. Service was super slow and the entrees came out even slower - 2 or 3 at a time. Some people were done eating before others even got their food. The restaurant was empty so not sure why the food took so long. Food was ok, nothing great. Prices were high for what we got. Won't be back.

I visited this restaurant for their special 5-course Thanksgiving tasting menu, and was overall quite pleased. The main course, a turkey roulade, was surprisingly good; I don't typically like turkey much, but this was juicy and tender, with a falafel stuffing, fluffy duchess potatoes, and a flavorful brussel sprout/bacon mix. The sweet and savory salad with whipped feta and apple baklava was unique and delicious. The first course had delicious gnocchi, but I was not a fan of the lamb sausage, which was tough and visually unappealing. The lemon soup with octopus was also a disappointment; I couldn't tell if the soup was supposed to be a cold soup that had gone tepid, or a hot soup that had gone cold, and the octopus was overcooked and cold. The dessert was good, an upgrade on pumpkin pie with creamy pumpkin custard, decadent cream cheese gelato, and cranberry cookies. The starring dish of the night though, which was actually an extra I ordered off of their regular menu, was the pull-apart bread, cheesy and fluffy and flavorful with sundried tomatoes and a variety of fillings! This was smoking hot and served in a cast-iron skillet, absolutely wonderful! I'm glad it was on their regular menu because I'll definitely order it if I return in the future.

Very nice atmosphere. Waitress provided great service. She even remembered us from the day before. She answered all our questions. When she didn't know, she asked chef Nikki. Chef Nikki came to our table to answer my question about their wings. They are so delicious. Ms. Nikki, your Baklava wings should be sold everywhere. They are phenomenal. Cudos. The lavender cannoli is delicious, and your bourbon drenched bread pudding is delicious. I prefer a custard bread pudding. Please consider a custard based option.

This review is for take-out for their kids meals. Our family stayed at this hotel for a couple nights. We ate an early dinner and just wanted something small at 9pm. The server told us we could order from the kids menu. We ordered chicken tenders and sliders with a side of broccoli. I love the chicken tenders and the broccoli. I mean, I LOVE them, so much so that I went back there the next day to order two more (plus two other items on the kids menu). The sliders and chicken pasta are very good too. We are on the fifth day of our trip, the kid meals at this hotel has been the best so far. We ate at a seafood restaurant tonight, but all I could think about was the chicken tenders with broccoli. I won't stop by just to eat there. But if you stay at the hotel, go for it! It's good.
