    Hot cocoa with whipped cream and sprinkles!
    Karlene H.

    Probably the worst meal I've ever had here. We really wanted to enjoy a multi-generational family meal. It took 10 minutes for our waitress to come to the table after we sat (seat yourself on a Sunday morning was odd!) We had a party of 7. 6 meals came out, mine was missing with no explanation. The family waited about 5 minutes hoping mine would come out, before they ate, to no avail. Family was done with what they could eat when mine finally arrived. With zero apologies from the waitress. Sandwiches were over done, my Mom's breakfast was cold and my burrito was nasty.

    This is definitely a Spokane must go spot! So much here to love that it's hard to boil it down to a short review. Suffice it to say that in all our experiences here, we've never been disappointed. Coffee is always fresh and staff is super friendly. Sticky buns and biscuits are house made. Sticky buns are hard to get right, often they're too sweet, too chewy, too dry, or otherwise deficient. The sticky buns here are as close to perfect as they get. Biscuits are fabulous, too. Not your traditional buttermilk biscuits more like a cornbread texture, truly unique especially when served with their house made strawberry jam! Yum. Spinach bacon omelette and meat lovers scramble were the entrees. Both were more food than we could handle in one sitting. Great flavor combinations and reasonably priced, too!

    This place is really cute and is located right on the runway. However, as it relates to the food, it is just average and the prices are a little steep. The waitress was nice, but our water glasses stayed empty eventhough the lobby wasn't busy. I thought it was a little odd this place is filled with military images and planes, but they do not offer a military discount.

    For our tastes this is a 5 star place. We have been coming here for decades, and it would be more if we lived closer. It's so neat right on the Felts Fld airstrip. They hire the best servers! Always friendly and very helpful, you never feel like you aren't important to them. Personally, I love the option for a half order, and even the half is way enough for a normal appetite. It's regular diner food, but the short order cooks are some of the best our area has to offer. Every aspect of this cute place is top notch.

    Definitely a fun little experience. Fun atmosphere for kids and adults alike! Can watch planes take off and land while you eat and visit. Food was a standard diner fare, nothing exceptional, but good. Worth at least one visit.

    It might as well have been a bowl of water...

    8/1/2020. Chili review. Sadly, this will be a very easy review to write. The one positive was that it was definitely house made. Beyond that, there was no flavor what...so...ever. None. The beans; the beef; the broth; the fillers; heck, even the onions and cheese on top were completely indiscernible. Fer crap sake, I splashed a ton of available Cholula hot sauce into it, and even the heat was lost in a vacuum of nothing. And no, I have not lost my sense of taste due to the progressive's favorite virus. The only thing I can think of is that this place caters (mostly) to super-super seniors, and they have magically concocted a recipe for the blandest chili in our hemisphere. Heck, I was expecting it to be from a FSA/Sysco can, and even that would have been better than the bowl of library paste I just experienced. What a totally unexpected wow... My previous review for their other menu items stands firm. They are way better than this chili...

    Cup! of house made chili

    Huge menu... one for breakfast, one for lunch. They were slammed with just two servers trying to take care of a full house. They said they were short staffed but they did great anyway. They did have a busser so that helped. Two cooks in the kitchen were cranking the food out fast. Since we hadn't been here before we ordered pretty conservatively- cheese omelet with crispy hash browns and a biscuit for my husband and a cup of chili for me. The cook obviously read the request on the ticket because the hash browns *were* crispy! Yum! The chili is house made and mild but good. Topped with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and some chopped onions. I added Cholula hot sauce and a bit of sour cream so it was very tasty. It was fun to try it and it kind of felt like a diner experience.

    I've been here many times and no matter what I order the food is always consistent and good the service is fantastic and I love the view of the airplanes around me I highly recommend this place you got to try it out

    California Benedict
    Julie P.

    I flew into Felts Field for work and ate here for breakfast! It has super cool airplane themed ambiance. I am a bit of an airplane nerd so I really enjoyed it. In addition, to watching all the fun general aviation aircraft takeoff and land. (don't worry I wasn't judging their landings..) I normally promptly takeoff my epaulets when I go into a restaurant to avoid the stares, but everyone here was nice since it was located at the airport. I ordered the California Benedict with hashbrowns and a coffee that never went empty. Just as soon as I would get about half way through my cup they would refill it :-) The hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict was excellent and full of flavor. The service staff was friendly and did a great job despite the business of the restaurant. I would recommend checking this place out!

However, Luna does offer a lot of things for this price. You have a pleasant neighborhood restaurant vibe, with friendly attentive service and excellent, healthy food sourced from good places. As with anything in Spokane, you will see folks in very casual attire, but this is also a place where you can dress up. When we went, there were several tables of women friends (all ages), many family groups (without young kids or with well-behaved kids), and older couples. I was in the mood for salmon and they did a great version. It should be though for just under $50. It was served with black rice (good) and roasted carrots (good) and a carrot puree (really good but not enough on the plate). My dining companion got the scallops, and they were even more expensive than the salmon. $48 for TWO scallops. Ok, they are large, and well-cooked, and came with a lovely vegetable mix and couscous, but that's a lot of $ for Spokane. We are from CA and that's even a shocker for us. Dessert: they had recently added a banana pudding, which was good. It replaced a chocolate dessert--and that was a bad move because there is no intense chocolate on the menu. We also tried the coconut cake with lemon curd. There was not enough curd; it was barely a tang. The cake itself was a little dry. It is served with house-made ice cream, which balances the dryness but the cake should be good on its own. Apparently, this is their most popular dessert. I am a chocolate-first person. I like coconut. I like good vanilla. I really like lemon curd and a sweet-sour pairing. For me, this item felll short.

I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.

We always make it a point to get the beignets from Francaise when we come to Spokane, so on this trip we decided to stop in for dinner. Francaise has a warm inviting "dining room" vibe that gives comfort to its guest. The exposed brick, warm lighting and plants really set the tone for intentional conversation and intimate dinners. While we did come on a night that seemed like they were short staff, our servers were still checking in and very accommodating with how busy it was. We ordered the Pain Maison, Black Truffle French Fries, Risotto à la Forestière, Steak Frites*and Grand Marnier Croissant Bread Pudding. Pain Maison - 7/10 I think the bread was good, I do wish it had been a bit warmer and that there would have been a flavor to the butter. Black Truffle French Fries - 10/10 These were executed so well. The fries on their own carried a lot of flavor, and the truffle took it to another level. We could have easily eaten another basket. Risotto à la Forestière - 8/10 I stole a few bites off of my wife's plate. There were portions of the duck that were a bit dry, but overall it was very tasty. The risotto carried a lot of flavor and the white wine sauce finished everything nicely. Steak Frites - 7/10 I did end up switching my fries to the Robuchon potatoes because they sounded so good and they were. As far as the steak itself, it was cooked to perfection, but I did not enjoy the blue cheese-cognac butter like I thought I would have. There was a charred sweetness to it that I was not expecting (completely on me) and it made me wish I had just ordered the steak itself. Grand Marnier Croissant Bread Pudding - 9/10 The ice cream completely took this dessert to the stars! The Bread pudding in itself had a hard outer layer with a soft and flavorful inner layer, and the combination with the salted caramel ice cream was delicious.  I think that Francaise would be a great place to do Hors D'oeuvres along with drinks and dessert along with friends or for a date- I am curious to try their short rib and think I will make it a point to do so when we come back.
