Professional, friendly Staff, the four of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch, a great table overlooking the beach, absolutely awesome food and service. We boycott restaurants/cafes that expect their patrons to order via their phones. We expect when we dine out to have service and Full Moon delivers exceptionally and with a smile.
