    Went to Moondance Grill tonight and babyyyy the food did not disappoint I got the 16oz ribeye with the sweet potato casserole and loaded garlic potatoes and everything was seasoned so good. The steak was cooked just right and super tender, like you could cut it easy with barely trying lol. I also tried the Raspberry Revive and it was sooo refreshing with my meal. The vibe in there is really nice and cozy but still classy at the same time. One thing that really stood out to me was the bathrooms, the asthetics in there were honestly sooo cute . You can tell they really paid attention to the details all around the restaurant. Def coming back again because this place was worth every dollar.

    Lobster roll
    Cherelyn R.

    We went to Moondance last night for dinner since it was our last night in Memphis for our anniversary trip. We were not disappointed. From the moment we stepped in we had a good feeling. We were immediately greeted by our server, Johnathan. He provided recommendations and allowed us to look over the menu while he grabbed us waters. We sat by the fireplace which was really nice and romantic. The food was delicious. I had the lobster bisque while my husband had the spinach dip. For entrees, I had the airline chicken which came with two pieces of chicken, some veggies, and the most delicious mashed potatoes I've had in a while. My husband had the lobster roll (Connecticut style) and shoestring fries. They gave him TWO lobster rolls. We couldn't even finish it all.

    Chargrilled Oysters

    Had brunch here on Saturday at 1 PM with a reservation. The weather was beautiful, so it felt like the perfect day to come out and enjoy their brunch menu. Our waiter, Joshua, provided excellent service throughout the entire meal. He was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. We started with the spinach dip as an appetizer. It wasn't my favorite--it had more of a spinach-forward taste than the cheesy flavor I usually prefer in spinach dip. It wasn't bad at all, just not quite my personal style. I ended up tasting a few dishes from around the table. The salmon was great, and the French toast was delicious. I was also surprised that the lobster roll came with two! Honestly, one would have been filling enough. After the appetizer, I could barely finish half of one. For drinks, I started with the passion fruit mimosa, which was really good, and followed it up with a French 75--also excellent. Overall, it was a really nice brunch experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu.

    She Crab Soup - Bowl
    Tommie B.

    I've been to Moondance a few times, and this was probably one of my worst experiences there. On previous visits, I've had the lamb chops and braised short ribs. This time, I wanted to try something different. I've heard good things about the maple bourbon glaze salmon, so I decided to try it. I also ordered the Rockefeller oysters, bread service, she-crab soup, and lamb chops. The soup was one of my first dishes, but it was lukewarm when served. The maple bourbon glaze was very sweet, and the salmon tasted like water with the char on the sides being overly charged and sometimes giving a burnt flavor. It felt too sweet paired with the sweet potato casserole, but the green beans served with the casserole were enjoyable. The lamb chops were not great; they were supposed to be cooked medium but were still very chewy and lacked enough seasoning. Lamb is usually pretty good, so I was disappointed. The oysters were good; I really enjoyed those. Our server was not good. He kept trying to sell us more items, but the service was terrible. He asked my partner if he wanted another drink but never refilled our waters. He also brought the dessert menu and was ready with our check before we even had the chance to refuse dessert. It was a wild experience, and I'm not used to service like that or food like that at Moondance.

    Prime Rib Sliders
    Michelle L.

    I met an old friend for a late lunch at Moondance Grill during the week. I ordered the Prime Rib Sliders (sliced ribeye, brioche, horseradish, swiss) and my lunch date ordered the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I enjoyed these. There were three sliders and it was the perfect amount for lunch for me. I would have liked a little more horseradish but I like it spicy. Good space, big booths, and attentive service. I'd easily return!

    Short rib tacos x Candied Bacon Brussels Sprouts
    Lori D.

    10/10 experience at Moondance! The ambiance was great. It was quiet enough for our medium sized party to hear each other across the table, yet not too quiet that we felt we couldn't speak freely. Our waiter, Tucker, was awesome. He was patient and knowledgeable,& with several other tables during the time, we never felt neglected. I also enjoyed that there were 3 menu options during this time (around 12:30 on a Sunday afternoon) we had the choice of the full menu, the brunch menu, as well as the lunch hand held menu. There were options for everyone. On to the food: I was quite surprised to find that my oyster Rockefeller was fried, but i was not disappointed. The flavor was all there from the lively and perfectly fried oysters to the smooth and creamy spinach base. For my main, I had the short rib tacos which were excellent along with the candied Brussels. Personally, not a huge fan of the Brussels, i believe mostly due to the texture (i prefer a bit of a crunch and a smaller Brussel sprout) but overall excellent experience. I will definitely be back.

    Moondance Classic Burger
    Ellie F.

    Moondance is known for a great burger, so I had to try it! It was great but I'm not sure it was worth $20. If I return, I would try a more unique dish. I will say that the servers are knowledgable about special dishes and are also extremely polite, so I was satisfied with the service. It's probably best to go here in the evening, because the ambience is full of dim lighting and moody dark tones. They sometimes have live music as well. This would be a nice date spot!

    Lamb chops loaded baked potato and asparagus.

    Great food great service great atmosphere. You cannot go wrong coming here. We had a great time and we will be back.

    She-She Crab Soup - Cup

    She-crab-soup was 10/10!!! I ate it alll! So much flavor and don't listen to the reviews about this because I swear it's amazing!

    Signed card from staff
    Sara t.

    My husband and I went for the first time today. It was our 6th wedding anniversary, we had reservations and were seated right away. Sydney our server ( who is a dead ringer for Dakota Fanning) greeted us and gave us a hand signed anniversary card ( very nice touch Moondance). She was very thorough with the menu. We started with the spinach dip and short rib tacos, I could have bathed in the tacos, so tender and seasoned to perfection. The bread service of soft pretzel rolls and sweet cream butter were a unique touch. The main entrees were the New York strip for me and my husband got the Hawaiian ribeye, these were the best steaks we have had in a long time, Sydney recommended the Hawaiian and it did not disappoint. Sydney was the other star, our drinks never got even a third empty, she was extremely attentive and always a smile on her face. She told us about the desserts that weren't on the menu as well. Great food, ambiance and service all were top tier. We will be back soon.

Server: Server had an attitude from the start. She had a cold, unfriendly, unwelcoming demeanor (Sarah did not come by even once to check on how we were doing mid meal. No words, just an angry look each time she we saw her - completely unacceptable at this price point!). We arrived early so despite it being Mother's Day the place was quite empty. No crowds, no excuse for such bad service. This is the main reason for this bad review. Portions: Small. The $28 octopus appetizer is the smallest portion size on record I've ever been served anywhere on North America, Europe or Asia. Pricing: The fine dining experience in lacking in too many areas to justify this price point. You're essentially paying a premium for mood lighting, a white table cloth in a cramped space, and an attitude of trying hard without actually hitting any of the marks. Would not dine here ever again. So disappointed. Poor choice for Mother's Day or any special occasion.

I ordered the shrimp tossed in chili teriyaki sauce, as listed on the menu. The shrimp were fried extremely hard and arrived cold. Instead of being properly tossed in sauce, there was only a minimal drizzle on a few pieces, which made the dish feel incomplete and not as described. The catfish nuggets and fries were just okay--again, both arrived cold, which seems to be a consistent issue with food temperature. The bar experience was also disappointing. The green tea shots were not made correctly, and the "double" shot of Jack Daniels was poured more like a single. In addition, the menu did not include any drink options or pricing. While the waiter mentioned they have a full bar, having a drink menu (even a basic one) would make ordering much easier and more enjoyable, especially for guests looking to try something new. Service-wise, the waiter was clearly overwhelmed and not very available, but when she did come to the table, she was very kind and pleasant. No complaints about her attitude--just a staffing or management issue. Overall, there's definitely potential here, but improvements are needed in food temperature, menu accuracy, and bar consistency to elevate the experience.
