My boyfriend and I both said this was the best dining experience we've had this year. Service could not have been better and the food was delicious and served promptly. We had the coconut prawns as an appetizer and they were scrumptious. Beautiful coastal views! We will be back.

We've dined at Moonraker many times. As with those previous experiences, this dinner was very nice. The food, depending on what we ordered was either very good or excellent. Service and ambience are quite good. The menu does not change much or at all from one month to the next. But the result is that they are very good at preparing consistently very good to excellent food. It would be nice if the wine list was more extensive and more interesting. However, they kindly offer corkage so it is easy to bring a bottle of your liking.

We had a nice lunch. The pea raviolis were very good. We also ordered clam chowder, the date appetizer, oysters, and calamari. The table we got had full window view in front. We were able to see whales spouting off in the distance, which was a highlight of our meal. The kids enjoyed seeing that very much.
