Not sure if you're in the mood for a gyro or a quesadilla? LunabrGrill offers both – and much more on its diverse Mediterraneanbrmenu. The restaurant specializes in fresh fare ranging frombrfalafel to gourmet salads, with most menu items made frombrscratch in-house daily. No pre-cooked or pre-heated kabobsbrhere; only freshly prepared plates and sides.br
Nicole Abraham, Vice President of Marketing for thebrCalifornia-based chain, says the restaurant is “luxe casual,” abrmix between fast casual and full-service. “We want people tobrfeel welcome and happy when they dine with us,” she says.br“The general vibe is fun and warm, but what sets us apart is thebrquality of food. We use organic, all-natural ingredients.”br
We love that Luna Grill has all-natural protein, free-range,brvegetarian and vegan options (these classifications are notedbron the menu along with calories for each item). There are evenbra few healthy selections for kids. But don't think this place isbrstrictly about clean eating; you can also crunch on some crispybrfries, sip on a cold beer and indulge in a delightful dessert.br
That's what makes Luna Grill so appealing – it caters tobrall different types of appetites. When our group dropped inbrfor lunch, the menu served us well. We started with the SpicybrCilantro Hummus. Served with pita bread or sliced veggies (webropted for the pita bread), it was flavorful and fiery. The LemonbrChicken Soup, with tender pieces of chicken, rice, and a hintbrof lemon, is also a hearty appetizer, especially on a chilly day.br
For lunch, we enjoyed the Chicken Kabob plate, one of LunabrGrill's signature dishes. The generous portions of bonelessbrchicken were juicy, well-seasoned and cooked to perfection.brWe ordered it with a side salad that consisted of mixed greens,brcucumber, onion and tomato.br
Luna Grill also offers a handful of wraps and gourmet salads,brwhich can be topped with chicken, falafel, gyros meat or mahibrmahi to create a healthy and satisfying meal. The Apple Walnutbrsalad, a spring mix topped with slices of fresh seasonal apple,brcrumbled gorgonzola, candied walnuts and dried cranberries,bris especially good with mahi mahi.br
Beverage choices range from beer and wine to naturalbrlemonade and organic iced tea. As for dessert, Luna Grill'sbrMini Baklava is not to be missed. It's crispy with just the rightbramount of sweetness.br
The next time you face the dilemma of where to dine forbrlunch or dinner, the odds are good that you'll find somethingbryou like at Luna Grill. This restaurant is putting its own flavorfulbrspin on fresh Mediterranean food.
