    We had a lovely evening. My son has celiac disease, and the chef and staff were very knowledgeable and made sure his food was celiac safe. Everything was delicious, the wine was a perfect match and the service was great.

    Two of the best bites I’ve ever had. Only meal better I’ve had in the last 3 years was a tasting menu in Barcelona. Incredible place

    Gorgeous vibes and exemplary service matched the innovative and yummy food— which manages to be cozy and casual and highly elevated all at the same time. A perfect spot for a celebration or intimate dinner out. 10/10

    Moeca is a top notch restaurant. Its food is imaginative and excellently prepared. The service is knowledgeable and helpful without being snooty. The ambience is quietly elegant.

    The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.

    Moeca is a bit expensive but well worth the cost. Everything we had was unique and delicious.
