Mooncusser

"We went here for dinner last night and were seated at the bar. I could not say better things about the experience or the bartender that took care of us. The food was on point - everything we tried was delicious and none of the courses felt like they were filler in the menu. Some of the best dishes were the least expected ones (which is usually the case!). We went with the wine pairing for the meal and thought each wine was perfect with each course. There were some interesting pairings that really went wonderfully with the food. Of the current tasting menu, our favorites were the red snapper, the snail and artichoke ragout, the scallops and the sweet potato tamale. Definitely excited to come and try new iterations of the menu since it changes so frequently and DEFINITELY would want to sit at the bar as our conversations with the bartender made the meal."

"Quick Summary Decent prix fixe meal spot with great service and ambiance. Expect the dinner to take the full 3 hours Food- 4 stars The prix fixe meal included 4 courses (the first course consists of 3 appetizers that are shared amongst your table). We had the mahi mahi ceviche, tuna and heirloom melon carpaccio, and house-made sesame sourdough. The ceviche and sourdough were just okay. The carpaccio was fantastic For the second course, I chose the scallops instead of the peppers. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the sauce was pretty good as well. The third course, I chose the lamb chops, but I regret not choosing the red snapper. The lamb chops were pretty standard, but I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce (it was a tad too salty and needed some brightness). The red snapper was fantastic though (very flaky and delicious). For the dessert, I had the black sesame and chocolate cremeaux which was a solid dessert to end the night Service- 5 stars Our servers were fantastic. Very attentive without being overbearing. Bottom Line The food was a hit or miss with the carpaccio, scallops and red snapper as the main highlights. Service and ambiance were great. It's a solid restaurant but missed on the hype of being in the "Best of Boston" category."

"Everything was so well done and absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented with unique dinnerware for quite a few dishes. Staff is friendly & professional. Usually this level of food correlates with a stuffy environment but that is not the case here. Love that it's on a higher floor."

"Best tasting menu I’ve had in Boston. Came here about a month ago to try their seasonal tasting menu. Everything on the menu seemed like a concoction of contemporary cuisines with creative ingredients. I was excited to finally give them a try, and overall, it was a transformative experience. The course started with spring vichyssoise which struck my tastebuds with a good mount of acidity. Tuna crudo was headily fragrant with basil, and sliced artichoke added a contrasting texture that I enjoyed. Yet, my favorite from the appetizers was the local cod croquette. Its custard-like batter immediately melted in my mouth, and its combination with green garlic aioli and thinly-sliced asparagus was simply divine. Decorated with a crown of almonds and snap peas, sherry glazed unagi was undoubtedly the most memorable dish of the meal. Unagi was not only tender, but its slightly smoky flavor paired really well with the creamy ajo blanco. Both the steamed black bass and the roasted veal loin were great, but the latter clearly pulled ahead as a winner. Lamb was extremely tender, and its unconventional toppings were also elements of surprise. While apricot harissa gave it a sweet profile, Berber and spring onions enhanced the savoriness of the steak. I wasn’t expecting such perfection from a seafood restaurant, but the lamb loin was possibly the best I’ve had in my life. Before the desserts, they also served us with a complimentary sorbet to cleanse our palates. The dessert portion of the meal wasn’t as impressive, but it was still much better than the ones served at other high-end restaurants in the city. While the tasting menu at Mooncusser wasn’t cheap, it felt like a bargain given the high quality and creative elements of the dishes. Would definitely be back to try their other seasonal tasting menus."

"Food was definitely michelin 1-star quality, dynamic and displayed a great variety of flavors and textures. The wine pairing was especially good. Service was full of personality, but could be more attentive."
