The food here is really delicious. Everything from the appetizer (we had arancini) to the side (brussels sprouts) to the entree (streak frites) was prepared with the care and attention to detail that makes for a memorable dining experience. The cocktails are great too and the waitstaff are attentive and friendly. This is our go to place for fine dining in Quincy.

We had a fantastic meal at the bar- seafood platter with poached lobster, ceviche, shrimp etc which was such a treat. Myhusband had the Portuguese stew which he devoured and I had the Lobster pasta which was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced and just yummy. Service was warm and helpful. Loved it.

We were skeptical about the prix fixe format but we loved our experience at Mooncusser. The wine pairings were very, very good.
