      I enjoy Mooncusser at every visit. At this third time we had excellent food, magnificent pairing and cordial service. It is an experience and to have this at reasonable prices right in Boston is a privilege. I recommend wholeheartedly.

      The food was amazing, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The wait staff kept a close eye on the progress of our meal and described each menu item in detail as they served them to us. The wine pairings (optional) were thoughtfully paired with each menu item and also described in detail.

      The service moved extremely slow and the food was blah. The best thing was the drinks and the pre-desert palette cleanser

      Another memorable meal. Deliciousness end to end. Loved the wine pairings, too. It’s pricey but feels appropriate for the quality.
