    My second time eating at Moon Bar and the food and cocktails were as incredible as the first. This really is a special place, definitely my favorite restaurant in the center of the city. I would recommend sitting at the main bar (maybe you can make a note when you make a reservation?), this time we were sat at a window. I had been looking forward to the people watching, watching the talented bartenders do their thing, and I was a little bummed to be facing away from the action.

    Excellent food with unique flavors. Tastes like an Indian and Caribbean fusion. The plates are small and meant to share. There is also an expansive drink menu.

    Incredible food and service. The ceviche with plantains was unique and the best I have ever tasted. The lamb burger was cooked perfectly and paired with the chutney had incredible flavor. The jerk shrimp was very spicy, but the cole slaw helped cool it down. The service was wonderful, the host went out of her way to ensure we got the best seats and the servers were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We will definitely be back.

    Service food and drinks were amazing. We were there for drinks in June and came back in October to eat there and everything is great.

    Food here is truly phenomenal. First came here about 3 weeks ago, and was looking for an excuse to go back to try the rest of the things on the menu. It's clear that from the drinks to the food - people really care what they put down in front of you and it's also fairly reasonably priced. You actually leave feeling satisfied and impressed. As someone who used to live in Brooklyn, I do miss the NYC food scene but moonbar is definitely helping showthat there is room for a creative and tasty menu that doesn't break the bank.
