I come here every couple of months when I get that kabob craving. The staff working here is amazing - you can always hear them greeting everyone as they come in. They are efficient and courteous despite being so busy. Norma, Andrew and Diana helped me today. I had some questions about their new to me menu and they answered them with a smile. The restaurant is always so clean and tidy, they even have a wall dedicated to small kid's drawings! I always get the Santorini bowl. It's the best thing on the menu with a little bit of everything. I love the chipotle sauce it's my favorite. read more

This Luna Grill is my favorite spot to go to because of it's cleanliness and customer service. I always look forward to enjoying a very tasty Luna Vida vegan or vegetarian bowl...consistently fresh and packed with flavor - housemade falafel served on top of a bed of lettuce with lemon vinaigrette, Greek cabbage, chickpea salad, cucumber, tomato, and sometimes feta drizzled with vegan tahini sauce.

Until one day my daughter ordered a pita and she was raving over it. So I thought I'll give it a go. Oh my goodness if I knew how delicious it was sooner I'd be broke. I am in love with the bowls!

I love Luna Grill but normally wouldn't be inclined to write a review for them. However, this location is somehow better than a lot of the other locations I've had. The chicken kabob was so tender and juicy, I was shocked that the difference could be so apparent. When I order the chicken kabob at the Bressi Ranch location (my go to location) it's much drier and I find myself relying on the sauce. I don't want to make the drive out to this location all the time but it is so much better than the other Luna Grill. read more

I've had many gyros in my day and I can say this one was well sized and also well priced for what you get. My wife's chicken kebab salad was also a hit. Not only was her chicken kebab very flavorful with Lebanese spices but the salad dressing it came with was also a very flavorful herby vinaigrette.

That tells me that this place is a real hit and many people come here for the cuisine. All in all, my wife loved the food and we will be returning again. I can see us getting food here more often.

They had music playing in the background and love that they have pictures of the menu items so you know exactly what you're getting. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate and it was so good! I will definitely be back to try other plate options. Overall everything was great from service to food!

Reservations not needed but highly recommended. After we arrived, we understood why: the place was…read morepopulated during dinner time especially on weekends. However, we were immediately seated at a very cozy table for two outside with a nice heater - albeit still a bit chilly considering the day started out quite warm. Our attentive and stellar servers were Candace and Ben. Since it was our first time at Valentina, our attentive and stellar servers recommended appetizers, main entree and dessert. Each course that came did not disappoint as our palate reached nirvana with each and every bite we took. I ordered the pork schnitzel as my main course while my partner succumbed to his eyes that were drawn to the ingredients of the seabass. We both shared squash soup and a separate plate of grilled square shaped potatoes that were a perfect pairing we devoured with satisfaction. Dessert came as a surprise, as we were served not one but two desserts - the latter was an added thoughtfulness, acknowledging my partner's birthday. The taste was divine! The bill totaled at just a little over $100, which we expected for this fine dining experience. Oh yes, we plan to return - even way before the next birthday. In the meantime, happy eats everyone and hope to see around town.

Valentina is a cool spot with great vibes and a solid variety of options on the menu, but overall…read moreI left feeling a bit underwhelmed for the price point. The food is decent, but it feels a little overpriced for what it is. The absolute highlight of our night was the gambas al ajillo--definitely order an extra side of bread because you will want to dip it in that delicious garlic sauce! The paella was also really good and packed with flavor. On the flip side, the almejas (clams) were our least favorite dish of the night and missed the mark for us. Fun atmosphere and good service, but I wasn't completely wowed given the final bill. Worth a try for the ambiance and a few standout dishes!
