    Delightful spot decorated with chef Asia Mei’s own artwork and festive Chinese lanterns. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. We opted to eat tapas-style, choosing several dishes to share. The jalapeño crab rangoons were a surprising and successful spin on the usual crab and cream cheese formula. The Belgian waffle bacon bites were excellent, as were the patatas brava and pulled duck tacos. The dishes were artfully plated, lending elegance to the experience. We had both the carrot cake and toffee bread pudding for dessert, and both were the perfect and decadent conclusion to a memorable meal. Our server (not sure I’m remembering his name - Bill perhaps?) was skillfully attentive, and we were thrilled when Chef Mei herself served a couple of our dishes and stopped by to see how we’d enjoyed our meal. Moonshine is one block away from the Broadway T stop. They offer booths and hightop table seating, as well as seating at the bar and in warmer months, outdoor patio seating.
