    Great vibes in the patio where we had brunch over the Easter weekend. Service from chef Mei and her staff was warm and welcoming. Greatly enjoyed the grits special - it was both flavorful and refreshing thanks to the shaved radish, English peas, and scallion. Also fun references to Parks and Rec in the menu.

    Service was excellent! Food was great too. The owner and chef, who is also an artist, was also serving food with personal care and attention.

    This place is so special. The food is delicious and interesting and the service is terrific. Started with a house manhattan and it was uphill from there. Delicious Brussel sprouts and artichoke salad. The tacos- duck, cauliflower and beef were amazing. Others had and loved the curry. Chef sent out a dessert that wowed us! Ate too fast to describe! Absolutely eat here!

    Moonshine 152 - so many years running - continues to knock out the best food in the city. We came as a group of six and were impressed by the constellation of flavors knocked out of the kitchen. The local feel and ambience makes it clear that this is a restaurant not just about food - it's a place for community. Any visitor and any Bostonian should take note, make a reservation and prepare for an extraordinary meal.

    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 💕
