    Moonshine 152 never disappoints! From the atmosphere to the staff to the food there isn’t one thing that could have been better! The ragoon appetizer was amazing and the chicken wings are not to be missed. My husband loved the Dirty Rice. To add to all of that, the lovely chef/owner takes the time to stop by your table to make sure you enjoyed your meal 💕

    I only go to this restaurant a few times a year, but each time I like it better than the last time. The rabbit pasta I had was just fantastic. The noise lever is a bit high, but my companion and I could still converse pretty easily. I'll be back.

    Felt like a cozy neighborhood tavern or diner (at 6pm on Sunday) and had fantastic food and perfect service (friendly, efficient, attentive but not obsequious).

    The food was innovative and delicious. The owner takes pride in her work and visits all tables to talk to the diners. Service was top notch and can't wait to return to try some of the other plates. I especially enjoyed the lamb meatballs
