    I thought the food was spectacular. A real treat for those of us who want to have something different. That even good cooks. Rarely prepare at home. My only complaint was that they brought our many dishes too quickly and in some respects and awkward combination. I would definitely go back again, but ask the staff to have the food brought out in a different order

    What a fantastic meal! Casual yet attentive/knowledgable service, and knockout food. Highlights were the Hen Of The Woods Mushrooms and the Swordfish Schnitzel.

    Service was quite slow. The girl was very pleasant, however, I had to ask somebody to come over and bring us water after sitting for close to 10 minutes. And then it took another 15 minutes to get a drink. Once underway, everything was good.

    What a spectacular and memorable meal- from thr most perfectly chilled cocktail. Every dish is a highlight here- the charred beets addictive, the savory tart warm, familiar, made to be savored slowly. The pappardelle is on par with nyc greats like I sodi and Don Angie and the lobster pasta otherworldly! The fish- who had room but it was perfection and alas the most stunning dessert we’ve ever tasted- honey nut squash gelato. No need to travel the world when one of the best meals is in your backyard!

    Every time we have gone to Moeca, we have had a wonderful meal. The food is fresh, creative, and wonderful. And the service is also very good. The serving staff seem happy to be there and happy to help us and that adds to the overall good vibe in the restaurant. It is one of our favorites!
