    My wife & I enjoyed Saturday brunch here. We absolutely want to come back during evening service. Homey Moon has a great looking patio, and the first stop once inside a super cool bar that looks like a speakeasy and a western saloon had a love child. I would have loved to have a few drinks and test the bartenders, but, well, brunch is a little early… The menu, like the restaurant itself, is eclectic; but unfamiliar; a really nice change from the same ‘ol same ‘ol. The service was on point, with everything arriving on time and at temperature. The room is a bit noisy, so a meal here is more fun and vibrant vs. quiet & romantic.

    I like this place and staff was great too, but my steak and frites came out both cold, barely warm. It was still tasty though but not what I expected for the cost. I really didn’t have time to send it back just pushed through cold meat and frites lol
