    We loved the Moon! I absolutely love concepts where there is entertainment during dinner. The show started around 9:45 and went for about an hour. Such a variety! There was a host who was an awesome singer, very charismatic, and interacted with the crowd. Then a super sexy guy came out dressed like a sailor and did a whole acrobatic routine on a hanging hoop. The whole place was packed with ladies and my husband after the first male dancer was like "wait, is this just basically a male revue?" But next a sexy lady came out and did an awesome routine with this crazy hat. It was classy but also really fun, sexy, lively, just perfect! The 3 performers then took turns doing performances. Very very loud nightclub vibes so don't expect to be having a lot of dinner convo, but I came with just my husband and we could talk to each other fine. The food & drinks were all great and our waitress was very attentive and brought everything out with impeccable timing. Dress to impress and come here for a great time! The booking process is a little confusing - make sure you book a night that shows it as an Experience. You'll have to reserve with a credit card, but it's just in case you no-show. Once you get your bill after dinner, there will be a $25/per person entertainment charge. Totally worth it!!
