    We had 2 small plates, 1 oyster appy, and 2 pasta dishes - all were superb with WOW factor taste. Seafood oriented - but very creative and new takes on things. Service excellent, informative about the wines and dishes, and very pleasant. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely return.

    Moeca is a treat. We have been several times now and it never fails to impress. The flavor profiles and variety keep us wanting more. It's a pescatarian delight.

    Truly original, interesting and enjoyable menu! Everything was lovely, although I found the noise challenging. On the other hand, it was Saturday night!

    Very much enjoyed our meal here. It is a seafood restaurant, and I'm not a huge fan - but it was my wife's birthday, so while she enjoyed the branzino, I tried a few of the vegetarian small plates, and enjoyed quite a few delicious cocktails.

    We've been sleeping on this restaurant - we walk by it almost every day and somehow have never been in. Finally popped in last night for date night and it was incredible! Food was spectacular, service was solid, vibe was great. Definitely recommend!

    Delicious food with some interesting flavors. Service was excellent and prompt. A bit on the pricey side with sharing portions less than what you’d expect for a solo.
