Lunchtime staff are welcoming and helpful. The ambience and rooftop views are exquisitely appointed. The service was exceptional. We had to twice ask for things that the waiter forgot and we received them quickly. The staff were complimentary and very attentive to our requests.

It was another excellent dinner at Blue Moon Bistro. New appetizers like Buffalo shrimp and chicken lollipops were fantastic, and our entrees were all different and awesome. The staff is incredible. You can tell they love working there almost as much as we love going there!
