   Lovely setting for a unique meal. Do not recommend the chef tasting menu, while good, it was too many dishes. It would have been better to simply order the few outstanding items and skip the mediocre snacks and dessert. Service was great and drinks were inventive and delicious.

   @moonrabbitdc 🙏❤️👍 @chefkevintien and his ENTIRE staff for an exceptional meal, delivered with a combination of elegance, grace and familiarity along with perfectly executed plates from the little bites, fresh daikon summer rolls, my god the sweet potato tapioca gnocchi with Maryland crab , the melt in your mouth boudin with baby octo with that hit of salsa verde & the goji and date mostarda, giant prawns with lobster sabayon, the buns , perfect textures , explosive flavors in a beautiful dining space. Chef and his team coming out to wish he a happy birthday. And a perfect clear 70 degree night in DC @andreeschreiber and I felt like royalty and ate like lil Vikings. Truly an exceptional start to this birthday weekend. #eddiethefish

   The desserts were the real standouts. The rest of the food was bland particularly when we were promised Vietnamese-Cajun fusion. It felt like too many ingredients blended together so the special qualities of any of them were indistinguishable.

   This is our second time here and as my mum said, it was perfection from the beginning to the end. We loved everything we had and we ordered again the shrimp termidor as we love this dish so much. This time we ordered the tumeric mantou to go with it and it was delicious. To start we got the rice cake and garlic noodles which were very tasty and we also got the mochi beignet, spicy but just the right amount. For dessert we decided to order 2, pour waiter who was amazing recommended us the Durian and it this dessert was so fresh, lemony, you have to get try it! We also tried the tofu cheesecake, different but also very good. In the end it was a perfect meal, trying a lot of new and different things.

   Dined here with some family friends that were visiting DC! We all loved it and feel like it was good value. Susan Bae’s desserts were a highlight!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Moon Rabbit. We had the summer rolls, wagyu stuffed leaves, fried quail, and black cod. Every bite was better than the next. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The presentation was nice as well. The cocktails were fun and interesting! We also had the chocolate/mushroom dessert. Honestly, I wish we would have skipped dessert because it was so disappointing that it kind of lessened the rest of the meal. It was a beautiful presentation, but the flavors were just ok. Some of the flavors didn’t seem to complement each other. I guess the pastry chef is a James Bead Foundation nominee solely based on inventive ideas, not flavors. The servers were very attentive and did a great job. The atmosphere was nice. It was quite loud during prime time especially with an extremely loud/boisterous group next to us, but then, it was much more calm and quiet after they left.
