      Our experience at Mooncusser was amazing! We were greeted at the door, brought to our table and the bartender immediately welcome us to the restaurant. He explained each course to us and helped us with our wine pairings. Overall 12 out of 10! From the food to the service staff, everything was amazing..

      We did not know what to expect from the food or the prix fixe. We chose to add the wine pairing as well. This entire experience from the varied and delicious courses to the fabulous selections of wine pairings was over the top! One of the most creative and scrumptious dinners we have ever had. They are extremely generous in their food portions and their pours. The staff is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Everything was absolutely fabulous and we would highly recommend that you try the Mooncusser experience!

      We had an amazing time dining at Mooncusser on the third floor – the ambiance was perfect, and the view added such a special touch to our evening. The service was excellent, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout our meal. The wine pairing ($65) was an absolute delight, perfectly complementing the dishes and enhancing the overall experience. The meals themselves were great, with thoughtful combinations and high-quality ingredients. We appreciated the creativity of the Early Spring Menu ($120), and you can tell a lot of care went into crafting it. However, one downside was that the menu felt a bit too lemony for our taste. The lemon flavor was prominent in several dishes, and even the dessert, which was listed as a Key Lime Semifreddo, seemed to lean more toward lime than expected. I understand that lemon juice is often used to enhance the flavor of fish dishes (like the Mahi Mahi Carpaccio and Grilled Hamachi Collar), but it felt a little overpowering across the courses. That said, we still thoroughly enjoyed the experience and appreciated the menu and the team who put it together. We’d definitely return to try more of what Mooncusser has to offer!

      Food is average at best, service is good depending on who you get but not very attentive. Atmosphere is basic.
