Moonbar was a fun place to have a relaxing meal. It was very busy but the staff and bartenders were fantastic, attentive and upbeat. The food was suprisingly good and the special drinks were unique and interesting. I would recommend highly for a relaxing night out or before another event. It does fill up quickly on the weekend so come early.

Random post workout pick on Christmas Day. Lucked out with a reservation as they have limited seating (49 seats) and are typically quite busy. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and all work together to make sure you’re well taken care of. The food was exceptional (we definitely over ordered but there were so many exciting options), service was excellent, and the prices were very fair for the portions. I’d recommend ordering lots of options and sharing - take home the leftovers!
