A wide variety of gluten free options, the food was delicious and it’s attached to a cool book store you can check out while you wait because like all good places, it’s busy.

Zhug oozes warmth and class, and is probably my favorite of Doug Katz's restaurant ventures. Like his other recent restaurants, it's best enjoyed as a tapas adventure with friends. Unlike his other ventures, they unfortunately are too cool for reservations. There's usually a couple spots open at the bar for the taking, but come with any more than 4 people and your wait on a busy night may be upwards of an hour. If you're lucky, you can find street parking in front on Cedar (free since COVID days), or park in the old Dave's grocery lot across the street (also free). The dim lighting allows candlelight, plush pillows, and verdant greenery to dominate the atmosphere. The staff are entirely the opposite of the standoffish lot you might imagine would work here - every person we've encountered has been friendly and incredibly accommodating. Also accommodating is the menu, which is vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan friendly. Although they do have high chairs and children are welcome, it's not an ideal place to bring little rowdy ones since there's quite a bit of glassware and candles, not to mention tight quarters. Two gender-neutral bathrooms are located at the back and kept in orderly condition. Be prepared to get lost in the sauce, because there are a lot of sauces and dips. A satisfying order usually consists of about 2-3 dishes per person. The usual culprits on our group's order are the Nigella Seed and Burnt Onion Hummus - paired with the complimentary pita bread, and a little dollop of their complimentary zhug (a spicy green Yemeni sauce), this provides a cozy foundation for your stomach as you await the rest of the food. Cauliflower, Roasted Carrots, and Potato Tostones are other delightful, textured bites to get your fiber in and fill up. Protein wise, I'm a huge fan of the Crispy Chicken and its brightly seasoned dipping sauce, as well as the Warm White Beans (more pleasurable than the plain name would suggest) and plump Butter Roasted Shrimp. Their wine and cocktail menu is tastefully curated, but I've actually never made it to the desserts since we're usually so stuffed after the savory dishes.

I love Luna. They're something for everyone, while still maintaining a simple menu. I like their crêpes, the savory ones in particular, which are served with a really taste quinoa salad side. Their batter makes fluffy crêpes. Their baked good are consistently good and offer a nice selection. The Lemon Zucchini loaf is among my favorites and you can even have them made gluten free (special order). I also really enjoy their season/ themed frosted sugar cookies, croissants, and vegan cookies and brownie bars. I've catered with Luna many times and they're always perfect. It's very easy to work with their catering manager, Erin. See responsive, organized, and very helpful. They do a fine job with quality (even hot foods) and presentation. They're my go-to breakfast caterer in town. My only qualm is parking. But, it's not their fault. Sometimes it gets busy and you end up needing to find parking outside of their lot/ right in front metered. I strongly encourage you to try Luna. You'll keep coming back.

Great pizza (and decent gluten free pizza) along with some respectable beer and wine choices. The service is attentive. Ambience is casual with both tables and booths and good lighting.

Came from out of town due to husband needing surgery at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. We were in search of Mediterranean food, cuisine that is HARD to find in our home state. I needed gluten free, they had it, husband wanted something light and nutritious before surgery day, they had it. We were greeted by the assistant manager, super welcoming and friendly. Our server was great, above all the food was SO FLAVORFUL. We highly recommend this restaurant!
