    We had a lovely anniversary dinner with friends. Food was well prepared. Drink options were wonderful. A slight delay in our wine being delivered, but not a big issue. A complimentary dessert and red rose/petals were a thoughtful acknowledgment of our anniversary. We would recommend Over the Moon for any nice dinner or special occasion.

    Overall wonderful. Ambiance was perfect. The view was nothing short of amazing. My shrimp were overcooked but everything else was excellent. I had the seafood trio and I really loved the sauce with the capers! The 1st espresso martini, my 1st ever, was absolutely bar setting! We had a large group of 16ish and the service was pretty decent. I would definitely recommend Stanley and Seaforts and will be back to try more.

    Great interior feel, well decorated, and an excellent spot for a date. Music was upbeat, staff attentive and friendly. Menu was robust, great price ranges for food and wine both. The “owners wine flight” was fantastic, highly recommend.
