    Outstanding food and cocktails which have never disappointed us over our three visits. We had to wait more than we wanted to but we blame it on the rain! Service was little choppy especially in the beginning but overall good.

    Wow! Outstanding food, service and ambience. We were a party of four seated and a booth and loved sharing the small plates. Can’t wait to go back.

    Lots of options, even for those who don’t want raw seafood. Waitstaff was very knowledgeable about the food. Even the people who brought out the food were able to answer all of our questions re: ingredients.

    We had 2 small plates, 1 oyster appy, and 2 pasta dishes - all were superb with WOW factor taste. Seafood oriented - but very creative and new takes on things. Service excellent, informative about the wines and dishes, and very pleasant. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

    Moeca is a treat. We have been several times now and it never fails to impress. The flavor profiles and variety keep us wanting more. It's a pescatarian delight.

    Truly original, interesting and enjoyable menu! Everything was lovely, although I found the noise challenging. On the other hand, it was Saturday night!
