We dine at Moonraker four or five times a year. The food and service is consistently good to very good. The menu is diverse and, having tried 5 or 6 different entrees, they are well-prepared and satisfying. Capuchino is often superb. The view of the ocean from most seats in the restaurant is outstanding and it is not uncommon to see waves crash over the sea wall in front of the restaurant (which is on the second floor). Moonraker does not routinely offer dinner specials; they focus on preparing the same entrees over and over, but doing it well. We are wine lovers and find the Moonraker wine list boring and unchanging. Fortunately, they allow corkage. We always bring our own wine and are glad we do.

Moonraker is a great go-to for a nice evening out. Probably our 6th or so time here. The view is fantastic and the food is both delicious and consistent. The chefs know how to cook a steak the way you want it! And if you are gluten free like I am, they have a gluten free calamari that is wonderfully good. Don't miss it. It was loud this particular visit, which was distracting. If you go later, you might avoid the big parties.

My boyfriend and I both said this was the best dining experience we've had this year. Service could not have been better and the food was delicious and served promptly. We had the coconut prawns as an appetizer and they were scrumptious. Beautiful coastal views! We will be back.
