My second time eating at Moon Bar and the food and cocktails were as incredible as the first. This really is a special place, definitely my favorite restaurant in the center of the city. I would recommend sitting at the main bar (maybe you can make a note when you make a reservation?), this time we were sat at a window. I had been looking forward to the people watching, watching the talented bartenders do their thing, and I was a little bummed to be facing away from the action.
