    I only go to this restaurant a few times a year, but each time I like it better than the last time. The rabbit pasta I had was just fantastic. The noise lever is a bit high, but my companion and I could still converse pretty easily. I'll be back.

    Felt like a cozy neighborhood tavern or diner (at 6pm on Sunday) and had fantastic food and perfect service (friendly, efficient, attentive but not obsequious).

    The food was innovative and delicious. The owner takes pride in her work and visits all tables to talk to the diners. Service was top notch and can't wait to return to try some of the other plates. I especially enjoyed the lamb meatballs

    My boyfriend and I started coming here about a year ago, and ever since it's become our favorite spot for brunch/lunch. First off, the food is outstanding, definitely "made with love". Chef Asia is amazing and comes by each table as their orders are served. She is such a gem, and is incredibly kind to her guests. Moonshine is very warm, welcoming, and homey. We love bringing new people with us and seeing how blown away they are by the quality and care of the entire experience. We brought our moms recently to have them try breakfast, as we have always talked their ears off about it and wanted them to see what the hype was all about – and they loved it just as much!!
