Moon Rabbit was truly outstanding. Interesting dishes with amazing flavors, exceptional cocktails, friendly and professional staff. It isn’t cheap, and it shouldn’t be - it’s a unique and elevated experience, worth the cost! I can’t wait to go back!

I knew the portions would be large for 2-3 people but it was larger than expected! I went with a party of 3 and we all had leftovers. We got one appetizer, one pasta, and one shrimp dish. The complimentary bread was great too! Everything was very good! We ordered portobello parmigiana, penne alla vodka, and shrimp diavolo. Everything was very flavorful.

Our service was excellent. When we asked about the wine by the glass, he had the sommelier come to discuss the choices which was super helpful. Our dinners were excellent, both the appetizers and the mains. Their brodetto is one of the best dishes we’ve experienced in DC.
