Moonstone Grill, a Trinidadian mainstay, serves fresh seafood and other classic American eats in its beautiful, beachside location. For starters, plates like the crab cakes with sriracha aioli and the lobster wontons with garlic cream make you realize how Moonstone Grill appreciates and respects the local produce and catch. Popular entrée items include the grilled angus ribeye with gorgonzola compound butter, the oven roasted game hen with mushrooms and the wild Alaskan halibut with curry pearl pasta. Moonstone Grill even has sumptuous options for vegans, such as the tempeh pot roast with fingerling potatoes and the wild mushroom ravioli. Not only can you enjoy your delicious Moonstone Grill meal by the sea, but you can also enjoy one of its signature cocktails, like the refreshing Mulin Crops with organic cucumber vodka, fresh lime and sparkly ginger beer.

                An amazing location right on the crashing waves in Moonstone north of Trinidad. Nice menu and a friendly atmosphere.

                The food, service and view were all outstanding. We ordered all small plates, a bottle of Pinot Noir and dessert. The prawns were especially good!

                We dined here for our anniversary dinner on 10/21/24, having booked a few weeks ago. Lovely location by the beach with beautiful scenery, as the sun was setting during our wait. We arrived 20 minutes early for our 7:00 reservation. As we were waiting, two servers were kind to tell us that we'd be seated soon. Within 5 minutes, we were greeted by a very nice young lady who immediately seated us. Because the temp was in the 50s, it was chilly in the restaurant and had to wear our coats to warm up. Somewhere along the way, the door was finally closed. The restaurant is small and quaint, and you can dress casually or dress up. My husband wore jeans and a nice polo shirt. Our food and drink order was taken by Naarah, who was nice and cordial. We were aware of the high prices, but the food did not disappoint. Everything from the appetizer (coconut prawns) to the entree (filet mignon/salad/clam chowder/potatoes) to the dessert (creme brulee), was perfect, and on time. The filet was cooked medium rare as we normally order and was absolute perfection for both of our meals. The ONLY downside was that the bar doesn't serve blended drinks, but my moscato was delicious! Even with 3 glasses of wine, and and an after-dinner expresso added, we paid $340 with the tip, but it was our time to celebrate as we normally do with a very pricey dinner each year. As we were leaving, we were congratulated on our event by the staff. The menu is available online, so view it before coming so you're not shocked by the prices. The scenery of the ocean also gives a great experience. We will be back again next year!!

                Food was mediocre NY steak overcooked… did not look like NY, mashed potatoes were so salty they were inedible. Told the waiter and he came back a said sorry. But that was it. Not impressed, but the server was efficient and pleasant.

                The fish and chips are good. Grilled octopus was overcooked. I got great service though, and the view was amazing.
