Oh Luna Park, how I love thee. I've been there several times - once for the company Christmas party, the other times with out-of-town guests. The food is so delicious, and definitely fulfills that occasional craving for comfort food - especially with the mac n' cheese.
The goat cheese fondue is amazing - served with Granny Smith apples and grilled bread, it has a great, savory taste, and it all goes together perfectly.
I've had the aforementioned mac n' cheese on a couple of visits, and on my most recent visits, I've had their Tasty burger (it is indeed tasty) and their baked chicken with butternut squash and brussel sprouts (I'm one of those freaks that actually likes brussel sprouts ... go ahead and ridicule me).
Of course, every time I've been there, dessert is always the "build your own" s'mores. The construction can be a bit awkward, but I've found that dipping one half of the cracker directly into the marshmallow, then drizzling the chocolate on top works quite well. Regardless, the chocolate is one of my favorite parts - on occasion, I've just taken a spoonful of the chocolate, let it cool for a few seconds, and then eaten it. And I'm not a major bittersweet / dark chocolate fan!
I only ordered for delivery so I can't talk about the atmosphere or anything like that.
But what I had was the BEST delivered food anytime. I had the mac and cheese with broccoli and ham, OH MAN, I wanted to have sex with it. True. My zipper was held close by not my hands.
BEST. COLESLAW. EVER.
SF Food Inspection Score: 86
Hmmm, hike that score up Luna Park!
Appetizer: Goat cheese fondue with bread and apples.
Dinner: Me - Spaghetti with tomatoes, basil, feta, kalamata olives, and capers. Emmanuel A. - Ravioli in a mushroom cream sauce with spinach, mushrooms and truffle oil.
Dessert: S'mores!
AND Sangria made to order.
YUMMMY!
Very good, prompt, friendly service. Affordable meal (bout $40 per person for all that plus tax) and really nice atmosphere.
Why oh why did I come here during my dry week!?! Ok, I guess I did have a teensy glass of sangria, but STILL.
First of all, make a reservation - esp on a Saturday night. You can even make a reservation for 4 people and have 8 show up - we did. Somehow we managed to fit all 8 into those tiny booths in the front. We are a close bunch :) A bowl of sangria was ordered and came out practically sloshing all over us, but whatever. A flaming scorpion soon followed along with some long-ass straws. And FIRE. Alright, alright, I sipped this one too, dammit. The length of the straw translated to, "ohhhh boy, when is this awesomeness going to get to my lips?!!!" (it's the little things, ok?) P.S. the flaming stuff is 151, not lighter fluid like my friends hypothesized.
OMG I almost forgot the goat cheese fondue with toasty bread and apples!!! I could have eaten a couple of these for the entire meal. I loved the tower of bread and granny smith slices surrounding the elevated fondue dish. It was like jenga for food. There was zero room on the table when our main dishes came out.... tastes ranged from Chilean sea bass to ribs to rigatoni to cobb salad ("you got a SALAD!!?!") to mac and cheese to herb and summer squash risotto. I wanted to get the mac and cheese based on previous reviews but then made a last-minute switch to the risotto. (Someone else got the mac and cheese..... I'm such a menu manipulator) The risotto was super-comfort food, along with everything else. It actually had a little more flavor than the mac and cheese.
Dessert (of COURSE we got dessert) consisted of the s'mores (natch)and chocolate chip bread pudding a la mode. OHHH BOY!!! All of it was sensational. The s'mores are a cute treat and should definitely be ordered in the company of out-of-towners.
All in all, it was an amazing meal and on the cheap side too. $30 each for drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts!? Unheard of.
Guess I'll be coming back, you betcha, dontcha know!
Oh luna park.. I gotta say this place is delish. The poke ahi tuna with wonton chips is a must have and the steak is delish too. You can't go wrong here on food. Ravioli was great too. I should say that you should get reservations before heading here or you'll face the same fate as myself and wait about 40 minutes. Beer was like 4 bucks for a domestic but what do you expect from a nice place right? Portions are very healthy and service is pretty awesome.
Parking is CRAZY. Though I came here on a Friday night, it wasn't too bad. If you have to wait, you can always stop by the interesting stores near by.. like umm good vibe... yeah you know which store i'm talking about. INTERESTING.... yeaaaaaaaaaaahhh hahaah 4 stars! for this place
I went here for the third time this past weekend... it has been consistently good, it just doesn't knock my socks off. Service is good - we had a 7:00 reservation and they sat our party right away. The staff is friendly without being Safeway faux-friendly. The room is nice, dimly lit and walks the right line between casual and upscale.
I had a Mint Julep that was delicious, but for $9 I hoped for a little more liquor and a little less ice (and it was in a tiny cup.) The "corn dogs" were OK - batter was slightly underdone but the sausages were really tasty. The pot roast was out of this world... it made everyone else at the table jealous. Hot, rich, and meaty. Yum. Desert was also good, but most of it was melted by the time it was served.
It is a little noisy, so probably not a good first date kind of place, but good for a dinner with friends or a date you really don't feel like talking to.
I reccently moved to the area and made mental notes to try Luna Park every time I passed it. One night, my roomate and I were craving something sweet, so we thought, "Bi-Rite Ice Cream!". Now, I'm not a huge ice cream fan, and wanted something fruity, something warm, something like pie. On the way to Bi-Rite, we passed Luna Park, looked at the menu, and saw their multiple options for dessert. After viewing the cocktail menu, we wished we had brought our wallets instead of a few bucks each.
Anyways we settled on the peach/strawberry cobbler. WOW it was fantastic. Definitely one of the best cobblers I've had. The crust was buttery and crisp, and the fruit was sweetened just enough that the added sweetness didn't distract from the flavor of the fruit. The best part? They add two huge scoops of vanilla ice cream without even asking. They do ask for whip cream (which I declined), but I'm sure it would add more to the dessert.
I went back for dinner a few days later and got the pot roast. I don't usually order pot roast, but the meat was tender and flavorful. The vegetables were delicious and soaked up the flavor of the stew. My dinner companion got the hamburger, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I had some of her fries, Definitely decent.
I couldn't resist the cobbler again.
The ambiance is nice, the tattooed servers commonly seen in the city are gracious, and the prices are managable. I'd reccomend this to anyone wanting a good, homey meal coupled with good cocktails.

My mouth waters just thinking about this place. I associate Luna Park with amazing rich flavors, delicious cold generous cocktails, dim lounge lighting, small yet warm and cozy environment & perfect location for visiting the Castro before or after. A great place to take someone special or to impress anyone.

First off i love the total ambiance of this place. Cute waiters and waitresses :) but it's a little dark in there, so maybe my judgment is impaired. I don't know. But the food all looks so good. I got the rigatoni dish that had really stringy bits of spinach that just looked unappetizing in the darkened room. So I avoided it, but the sauce and the sausage was DELICIOUS. We ordered the cocktail samples and loved the three little glasses all cute on the tray. Also well-made and stiff, just the way i like them. Try the Icebreaker! So my dinner was delicious despite my right-winged grandmother going off on me for being a sinner and a slut. Which thank god, I was near a bar. What better way to prove grandma wrong by taking a shot? Then indulging in the most delicious cake I have ever had. I had the chocolate truffle cake with the espresso bean ice cream and told grandma that this was better than sex. And then held onto the table and said "oh god" and really...oh god, it was so delicious.
I'd come back for seconds ;)
So enough innuendos, all in all, it was a delicious meal. With pretty good service. Just don't go with your judgmental grandmother.
Maybe not fair to review based on only brunch, but it was so lackluster that I feel obliged. I can understand why there wasn't a wait on such a beautiful indian summer sunday. The cappucino was lukewarm. The chilaquiles were boring and dry w/overcooked scrambled eggs. Poached eggs were overcooked. I would certainly try Luna Park again for dinner, but recommend other spots for better brunches.
what a bummer! I was expecting so much more.
if you're looking for that whole upscale new american traditional vibe, i say, dont waste your time here because there are so many other places that do it so, sooo much better.
sure, the things you see on the menu sound really tempting (summer squash risotto, fontina stuffed ravioli, carnival dogs(!), mac'n'cheese, etc) but what comes out looks like a home made attempt at turning classic into classy. not to say the food doesn't taste alright, just didn't really live up to the hype. i say, since you're already putting in the money, go to Blue Plate down the street. even better, go to Chow which has better food and its cheaper.
i went as part of a bachelorette party and I must say the staff was veryvery accommodating! surprising for some place so packed and for a group of our size.

YUM!
I've wanted to try this place for a long time, and now I want to go there every night.
LOTS of veggie options, and an asterisk on the menu next to dishes that can be prepared vegan! For as veggie friendly as SF is, you don't often see this. Awesome.
Mac n cheese with broccoli, to die for.
Spinach salad with feta, currants, candied walnuts and lemon-shallot dressing, one of the best salads I've ever had.
Completely chill atmosphere, friendly, mellow wait-staff, unassuming modern decor, no wait for a table on a Sunday evening when Delfina, where we had tried to go after Dolores park, was packed with lines out the door. we walked right in at Luna Park and had food within 10 minutes!
AND this place is totally reasonably priced. I had two glasses of vino, a salad and a side of mac n cheese (which was plenty of food, but was also available as an entree), and got out of there for $30, including tax and tip.
My experience here really couldn't have been any better. It's my newest fav on Valencia.
I visited the restaurant once awhile back and enjoyed my meal--I really did, and I thought the food was quite good--but I came away with the impression that it was a bit overpriced. I still think that's probably the case, at least when it comes to some dishes.
However, earlier this week I was browsing Yelp for restaurants that deliver and was surprised to come across Luna Park. I really liked their carnival dogs appetizer, so I thought I'd take a look.
You can place a delivery order online! How easy is that? About ten minutes after submitting my online order, I received a call from Vanessa (I think) at Luna Park to confirm my order and give me an estimated delivery time--35 minutes! She was really pleasant--great phone manner (which tends to impress me and which I tend to think is important, particularly considering how many people work in customer service and really, really suck at that). I wish I had a better way to describe what impressed me without going into awful corporate-customer-service-speak, but I don't, so I'll spare you all.
The food actually came around 35 minutes later, too, which was awesome. The only complaint I have is that when I was asked whether I wanted bread and butter with my order and responded in the affirmative, whoever put together the bag of food just tossed a whole bunch of packets of butter loose into the bag, with the hot food, so I'm sure you can probably imagine what happened there.
Still, though, all around it was a good delivery experience. I'm really quite a fan of the online ordering system (I got an email copy of my receipt at the end, too).
The cocktails are amazing (try an espresso martini!), the food is pretty good, the wait is ridiculous, and the noise level is like being on an artillery range.
To elaborate on the above summary, I have repeatedly been to Luna Park on weeknights and weekends, and lunch/brunch is tolerable, but coming for dinner or cocktails involves waiting for an hour, minimum, if you have reservations. If you don't have reservations, it's not really that different, so you may as well just walk in. The hostess will lie to you about the wait time; ignore her. If you are hungry, get a burrito at El Toro, down the street; you will have completely digested it by the time you are seated.
Once you are seated, assuming you have the patience, you will be subjected to the unrestrained noise of all the people in the restaurant, since the owners have not seen fit to equip the room with any sort of noise buffers. As a result, you will probably feel like you have been at a rock concert when you finally emerge.
I would like to say that this ordeal is worth the experience, but it's really not. The cocktails, fondue and the s'mores at table are excellent, but the rest of the food is equivalent to what you might find almost anywhere else in the Mission. As a result, you are best advised to go elsewhere in the evening.
This restaurant is great. I love this place. The cocktails are truly amazing. I like to go during the lunch time because the dinners can be pretty expensive. If you go on a weekend make sure to get their early because the tables will fill up, but if you are out with friends visiting the city a great place to take them
I love this place! They always have an interesting variety of food, their food and service is always consistently excellent. The booths in the back, with their curtains, are perfect for a very small dinner party. Order the S'mores.
Alphabet Soup- L Dinner
You must save room for the MAKE YOUR OWN FONDUE S'MORES! So tasty and so fun that I absolutely will come back just for that alone. In fact, more restaurants should have interactive desserts.
This is a great place for a first date because the prices are reasonable and the ambiance is low key, warm, and intimate, yet bustling enough that you don't feel like you're eating in a library. The MAKE YOUR OWN FONDUE S'MORES would also be a great first date ice-breaker.
The food is fantastic and since it follows the Slow Food movement, the majority of dishes are centered around local, sustainable, organic, and seasonable ingredients. I started with the yellow peach and endive salad, followed by the fontina stuffed ravioli with mushrooms, spinach and truffle oil. In my mind, you can't go wrong with truffle oil on nearly anything-- I would probably eat cardboard if it was drizzled with truffle oil-- but these dishes were a delight and the flavors of the fresh produce were balanced within each dish and therefore able to stand out on their own. And did I mention the MAKE YOUR OWN FONDUE S'MORES?

Waited 45 past our reservation time before being seated.
We got lucky with a great table (eventually) but I was scoping the scene and the booths look like they're too wide and the people were struggling to hear each other and were leaning across the too-big table to hear each other.
Food is very good, but definitely a gut bomber. Wear an elastic waste if you plan on enjoying the macaroni & cheese or any of the fondues!
In all, I left satisfied. I had a great girls dinner there and after splitting the bill with apps and tons of wine/drinks, it was only $40 a pop. Not bad!
The hostess is wack....no other way I can think to put it.
Examples of her wackness:
1. "The wait will be about 30 minutes"
2. 1 hour later, "We had a 'no-show' that just showed up so I gave them priority on the waiting list"
3. Nearly 2 hours later, "If you guys are comfortable at the bar, I suggest ordering and eating here".
Next time I will go to any number of other places, or anywhere else really...
Started to find this place too hit or miss (sometimes good, sometimes not, sometimes 2 hours for delivery, sometimes not) so we stayed away. Came here recently for some light dinner and drinks and loved it. We came early on a saturday night and service was great. The mussels and fondue were divine.
Way to ramp it up luna park. I'll start coming back more!

Went here on a first date and I think I liked the food better than my date !
You can call in and reserve a private booth (which is great when you're on a date) although it's not guaranteed. Both times when we got there, we were seated right away (and it was pretty busy), the service is great and the waitress did come by and check up on us often which is pretty rare on a busy night.
I've been there twice and have tried: pork satay with mint vinaigrette coleslaw, jerk chicken and ribeye plate. Fabulous !
The only drawback is it's in the mission district, which is a cool hangout, but nothing ruins 'the moment' more than the fresh smell of piss !

That mac n' cheese is very good. Don't get it twisted. You might think, "But Kraft's Shells n Cheese is really good, too. It's super easy and much cheaper than the stuff at Luna Park. Why should I venture down there to pay more for something I can get in the convenience of my own home?"
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE AN EFFIN HERMIT-ASS BITCH FACE.
Also, the cream of mushroom soup was pretty tasty, too.

Luna Park is the place to go for very satisfying comfort food. Not anything too unique or fancy, however, they know how to do the classics right! Try the mac n' cheese (I recommend getting it with broccoli and ham) and the beet salad. The deserts and also quite yummy, and they have a great selection of creative cocktails.
I actually had a dream that involved me being in Luna Park. Since it's been over a year since I've been back - going on a rampage trying to try every restaurant in the city that I can - it stuck out so profoundly that I realized I never wrote a review.
My brother and sis' - in - law took me here with the parentals on a hot summer day to try nothing other than the mac' n cheese! Quite delicious pasta overall here, including the Fontina Stuffed Ravioli, but still greatly impacted by the mac attack from that evening. Hmm, have to make a trip over again once I get back from my trip!
Luna Park is like a mirage. It looks great at first but upon closer inspection, you see it's not what you thought. The look of the restaurant and service is good, but the food is mediocre. I've been there a few times for lunch and dinner in the past years and never had a memorable dish. The worst part though is the music. Last time it was loud awful rock. It's a restaurant, not a bar so no there's reason to blast the music, and the selection was so bad, I've never heard anything like it, especially in SF. I guess everyone has their opinion, maybe it would sound better if it was in the Midwest..

I had high expectations for this restaurant, because I heard such great things about it, but after trying it for the first time I was really disappointed. We tried 3 dishes: their mussel appetizer, their corn dogs, and their broccoli, macaroni and cheese. All of it was overpriced and not that special. The mussels were extremely small, the corn dogs too greasy and salty, and the mac and cheese was so-so. I'd say pass on this one.
Wah- I totally agree with the person who called this place a mirage.
It's true, polished appearance, competent staff... but the food. It's like what they say about "paper-bagging" a girl during sex if you can't look at her face...
I wish I could paper bag Luna Park.
The first time I came for lunch, the Pulled Pork sandwich was very dry. Like it had been under a heat lamp for hours even though they just made it...but that was kind of my fault since I came right before closing- so I was willing to revisit.
But dinner wasn't any better....the goat cheese fondue was good enough, even though the fondue was pretty runny and rather bland, even for goat cheese. My chicken dish was good, even if the salad was bland and the corn was kind of dried out.
But the worst item was the fontina ravioli!! Whatever the "sauce" was that came with it was seriously the consistency of Campbell's creme of mushroom soup!! Sooo soupy!! As a result the ravioli became saturated like a waterlogged swamp creature. Very sad!! We asked the server for some cheese to balance it out, and even the extra RAMEKIN of Asiago cheese could not tame this beast.
So if you come to Luna Park
1.) Do NOT order thte fontina ravioli!!
2.) Bring a paper bag!!

This place is great. Once you enter, it's a total smorgasbord of people chatting, you can hardly get a word in or even hear yourself. Reservations here don't make much of a difference because chances are your still waiting for a table when you get there and automatically introduced to the bar, which sucks if there is a lot people and if you don't want to drink.
The Warm Goat Cheese Fondue with Grilled Bread and Sliced Apples was a good appetizer; unique and makes you a tad bit full. They're always changing the menu but for my entree I had the Pan Roasted Sea Bass with Collared Greens and Mashed Potatoes. Then, to top it off, good old Smores.
This isn't a good place to go on a romantic date, mainly because you can't here each other but it's good for groups. The only downside is that the parking around the area blows.

I love this place. It's a great place for a dates or a small group of friends.
The food is always fresh and perfectly cooked. The service is great and it has a very warm and friendly feeling. I go to Luna Park maybe five times a year, but everytime I walk in everybody makes me feel at home.
Their drinks are a little pricey and served in small glasses with lots of ice. I usually get a beer and the muscles and french fries for starters. I have never tasted one of their salads, but ALL of the entries are fantastic. I had the BabyBack Ribs last night and the meat was falling off of the bone. The sea bass was crispy and delicious and we were too full to order desert.
It's a great place to have a warm meal.
This is the sort of place that has something for everyone. It's busy, but can still create the intimate vibe with the dim red lighting and decor. They have one of the better Scotch lists at any restaurant I've been to... great bar while you wait. Great food, decent price, After a filling fix, it's nice to walk/bike around the mission too.
I'd give Luna Park a 4.5. Nearly everything that our party of four had was delicious! Fresh, well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, nicely balanced. The heirloom tomato bread salad, North Pacific salmon, organic chicken, and fontina ravioli with spinach and truffle oil all seemed well-received. My friend's herb and summer squash ravioli reportedly lacked some flavor, but the grilled shrimp were great. The s'mores dessert was super fun, with two mini fondue pots of bittersweet chocolate and marshmallow. Bananas foster -- tooo sweet for me!
The drinks seem unnecessarily expensive for a casual place (typically $5.75 for a beer, $9-$10 for a cocktail). Also, there was a 20 minute or so delay in getting our reserved table -- it's interesting to try to stand by the bar and try to avoid the "circus" that this place always is -- in the words of my friend who's a repeat visitor.
Recently tried this for the first time for a friend's birthday. I didn't think it was anything special. Food/atmosphere just okay, no reason to try it again though.
Also, the fake birthday cake and sparkler was little ridiculous...are we in Burlingame? Why not make the servers add flair to their outfit while you're at it...
If you want to get a table here make sure you call in hours ahead or else you'll be standing for a while with a bunch of other people also waiting for a table. If you don't mind the wait then head on over to the bar and pick your poison. The bar's got everything I'd love to drown in. Try their mojitos on a warm night and you'll cool off in seconds.
I wish I could give this place 4 stars I really do!
I made a reservation for 12 people on a Thursday night. I guess there was a party at the table that was to be ours that was taking a long time. (Not the restaurant's fault) We got there at 8:45 for an 8:45 reservation and we didn't get seated until 9:45!!! What is the point of making a reservation if you don't get to eat at the time you made it.
We spoke to the hostess several times and she kind of just acted like there was nothing they could do about it. I'm not sure but I know if I was that other table I wouldn't mind if the hostess or waitress politely let us know that there was a table behind us. But they didn't do that.
They didn't do anything until one of my more "loud" friends pretty much yelled at the hostess and told her we were starving. She sent us two fondue plates to the bar. Shortly thereafter we were seated and the rest of the meal was great.
The best part was that we got to sit at a round table which is so great for a large group. We all got to chat and share our plates which was the greatest. We all ordered different things. Of course the mac & cheese was a hit. I got the salmon and it was really tasty.
We also got lots of desserts and my favorite was for sure the s'mores! I would come back just for them!!
Next time I just hope it doesn't take them an hour to seat us.

This is my go-to place when I can't think of anywhere else to grab dinner. I love the mac n cheese with brocolli and my fave dish is the sea bass with garlic, potatoes, broccoli rabe and chili. I adore broccoli rabe!!!!!! Can't remember the name, but there's a cocktail with a frozen grape. Get it :) Mmmmmm mmmm good.
5 star stems from their delivery.
never ate there, never would.
if i'm going to be elbow to elbow i'm going to being winning the war much harder than i would be here...
sorry, just how it goes.

Not actually a moon based theme park, Luna Park is still the happiest place orbiting the earth, or at least the mission.
Think of Luna Park as the best kind of hipster. Like a guy who hides several Ph.D.s, an insane work ethic and $12 million in stock options under flea market chic fashion and a friendly, laid back attitude. There is far, far more to this restaurant than meets the eye.
The menu with its big salads, spaghetti, macaroni, "tasty burger" (Pulp Fiction fans in the house? Represent!!) and baby-back ribs may look a little like Mel's Diner, but one taste you'll know you are on a different heavenly body (I meant like a moon, but insert your own joke here if so inclined).
Flavors are rich and dense, materials and preparation first rate. You really can't go wrong, though I'm a huge fan of the Fontina Stuffed Ravioli. Drinks are similarly excellent, large and strong. A Luna Park Mojito, for example, will leave you feeling better mint-ed then Bill Gates, and a lot more buzzed, too.
Two more shout-outs: People and technology. The heavily T&P'd staff knows how to rock. Service is constantly friendly, quick and efficient. LP has taken the web to heart, and not only lets you make reservations via web (I know, that's so 3 years ago), but let's you order their entire menu for pickup or delivery through their website http://www.lunaparksf.com
Prices in relation to quality and total experience are very reasonable. Around $35/person plus tip buys a cocktail, entree, split appetizer, split desert, and coffee. If you are watching your waist or wallet ask to split an entree. There is no extra charge, it will come on two plates and you'll still have plenty of to eat.
The place fills up fast so reservations are suggested, though we've had good luck walking in on a saturday and eating at the bar. The crowd is mixed, and on Sundays family heavy. The noise level can get a bit high, so if you are looking for a quite place you might go elsewhere. Or ask for the very private table in the curtained rear alcove.

As I write this, its an hour and 50 minutes since I placed my order, I was quoted an hour. Sure I could have ordered a pizza, it would have been significantly cheaper and got here in less than half the time, but I wanted something tasty and something that isn't pizza. I chose Luna Park, and now my tummy is paying for it.
I called and asked, what gives? The woman blamed it on a new driver --I dont know how thats MY problem.
Over Priced. Cold. Garbage.
Okay so two hours in, I get my food. Its cold. I'm never ordering from here again.
Update: So I get my shit, about two hours or so in. My the bottom of my burger is soggy (like disintegrating soggy) the tomatoes and lettuce are wilted and gross, soggier than the bread. The fries are cold. The Mac and Cheese which looked burnt was also cold, we didnt touch the food. Instead we called back and spoke to a manager who offered to refund the burger, umm.... its all gross, why the hell wouldnt you refund the whole thing. I even offered for them to pick it up and take it, what the hell was I going to do with it? It was disgusting.
Long story short, im offered a gift certificate for 50 bucks-- which left my tummy grumbly, but at least I wasn't as pissed as I was before. So extra star for good customer service, I will order again someday and revisit this review (using the 50 dollar gift certificate). Till that day, I have little good to say about this place.

For my mom and brother's b-day brunch i had their strawberry french toast. This ain't your sliced bread type of french toast. One look at the plate and you know this is serious; thick slabs of bread smothered with strawberries and topped off with mascarpone cheese. The sweetness of the strawberries and the tanginess of the mascarpone make this one of my fav brunch treats! The goat cheese with apples is so good i almost ate the whole thing..oops. Look mom I'm eating my fruits! Service was efficient albeit slow.
