The staff were so lovely! They helped create a last-minute birthday cake and cocktail surprise for a colleague in our group. He was delightfully surprised. I highly recommend the blueberry non-alcoholic drink (as well as the bartender’s amazing version with gin- she calls it “purple rain”).

We had a great meal on a very cold evening outside but warm night inside at Moeca. Food was tasty and presentation was appealing. Emily did an excellent job guiding our choices and providing clear answers to our questions. We felt well taken care of throughout our dining experience.

The food was great, but we were even more appreciative of the service. We have a friend who has a very serious food allergy and the waiter went above and beyond checking and double checking with the kitchen about all the food at the table (not just hers) and making sure she was safe and comfortable. They also helped us secure a table down at noir so that we could move downstairs when we were done with dinner.
