Sublime! Service spectacular! Our waitress Miranda made us feel very special. Her energy positive and uplifting contagious. Courtney, the manager, checked on us and made sure we were happy. I appreciated the personal attention and professionalism. The food was yummy. No complaints. My only quibble would be with myself that next time I don’t order too many fried dishes, and remember to ask first if it’s fried to be sure.

Had a great time dining with my wife at moonshadows. We started at the bar and worked our way to our table. The staff was kind enough to sit us by the window. Great views of the water and great food to go with it.

The table next to us had children banging spoons into their glasses. They were unsettled and vocal throughout the meal. It was a festive atmosphere, but it was difficult to focus on my husband's conversation with the banging from the next table. The food was delicious. The service was great. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. Making our reservation was easy. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch for the holidays.
