    Very much enjoyed our meal here. It is a seafood restaurant, and I'm not a huge fan - but it was my wife's birthday, so while she enjoyed the branzino, I tried a few of the vegetarian small plates, and enjoyed quite a few delicious cocktails.

    We've been sleeping on this restaurant - we walk by it almost every day and somehow have never been in. Finally popped in last night for date night and it was incredible! Food was spectacular, service was solid, vibe was great. Definitely recommend!

    Delicious food with some interesting flavors. Service was excellent and prompt. A bit on the pricey side with sharing portions less than what you’d expect for a solo.

    We were given the table closest to the restaurant entrance on a bitter cold night. We asked to be moved or possibly have the heat turned up but wound up dining in our winter coats. Not the special treat or enjoyable dining experience we were hoping for.

    Food was okay but overpriced. Tuna was good. Beef was fatty. Marscapone was excessive. Service was attentive and helpful. swordfish was tasty but nothing special.

    Moeca was such a treat! Every course so delicious and unique- felt more like a California restaurant than Boston. Will definitely be back :)
