If we hadn't been on a food tour earlier in the day we might have had 5 drinks, but alas our stomach space was limited. The servers here were very attentive without hovering, we had no complaints other than we wish we could have had every drink. The first drinks we ordered were the Fluffy, Frothy, Inflatable, Tube man and the He-Man Go! The tubeman was so good my wife who normally doesn't like comparing really enjoyed her cocktail. My He-Man go was unique, light, and refreshing reminding me a little of a tomato-tini I made a few years back and also made me think of a Margherita pizza...very unique. Being full my wife opted against a 2nd drink and I ordered the Bop It! It was so unique...goat cheese in a drink? And it tastes good? You betcha! It was sweet, savory, and funky! I'm sharing a description of the drinks so you can get a better feel of the complexity and thought they put into their offerings. On a side note they serve food as well which looked great!

My wife and I sat at the bar, we feel it enhances the experience when you get to watch the drinks made. We ordered the following: High & Mighty Black Check Radio Silence Glass Orchid and some of the best damn chicken nuggets we've ever had. The cocktails were so very unique and amazing. I wish we could have sat there all night, but this bill ran us $100. If we lived here we would be back once a month or more often. It was just a lovely experience. The host was super friendly, the server was great, and the bartender was spectacular and even gave us suggestions on other places to go for beverages and had great things to say about other places we were planning on visiting!

You have to enter the building with a small fox picture, go down a set of stairs and check in at the counter of said restaurant before they lead you into the back where the speakeasy is. The menu is "set" in that they have a particular cuisine focus for the night and the four food dishes are predetermined as well as the first drink. That being said, you get to order three more drinks from their cocktail menu that range from lighter to more spirit forward, ending with more dessert type cocktails. All the drink flavors were so unique and a fun twist. The food was actually very substantial. Good flavors as well. Our favorite dishes were the lamb cigars (large egg roll shape with eggplant and spices) and the whole branzino. Everything was good though. Service was a very friendly and they were open about the fact that if you didn't like a drink they'd make you another one.

Moon Bar is built around a large central bar with a handful of small tables scattered around it…read more It's a good setup if you want to sit at the bar, but the tables are tight, so I'd skip this place if you're with a bigger group. The cocktails are the highlight. They're high end and unique, the kind of drinks you won't find at your average Boston spot, and the quality was solid across the board. If you're here for the drinks, you won't be disappointed. The menu is small. We had a couple of items and they were good, and good quality. That said, this is a cocktail-centered experience. The service was fine, though a bit brusque. Nothing rude, just not particularly warm either. That's a bit odd because the entire atmosphere is centered around the production at the bar. The strangest part of our visit was the bartenders' banter. While we were sitting there, they were complaining about a coworker who had apparently shown up to work after being fired. It was an odd thing to air out in front of customers, and it made the vibe feel a little awkward. Overall, great drinks, nice decor but so-so atmosphere. I'd come back for a cocktail, but I wouldn't count on a chatty, welcoming bar experience. Still - sometimes that's what you wan.

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good.

Overall everything was solid but our favorites were what we started with: the pizza Bianca with ricotta & hot honey, and the wines we ordered. We loved everything about the pizza Bianca - the texture of the bread, and the ricotta & hot honey was so delicious we could just eat it by itself. The pepperoni & hot honey pizza was also quite good, but just not my preferred type of pizza. It is great for those looking for a slice that isn't too heavy. Flavor wise though I still really liked it. Among the pastas, the taleggio cappelleti was simply not for us. I could see some people loving it but it was just a bit too salty and rich for me. I felt like I needed more balsamic to counteract the strong flavor. The cavatelli on the other hand was more to my taste, a perfect alternative to the taleggio capellini. We finished the meal with the panna cotta that had great texture with the toppings. All in all a great meal with some favorites I already know I want to order again, and some really great service!

Very well balanced - I especially liked the stracciatella. Taleggio Capeletti (7/10): A bit too rich and too salty for my tastes. I think this dish just needed something to cut through the richness. Still really good nonetheless. Lumache (8/10): The chew on the pasta is impeccable!! The chew on those mushrooms is also insane. Texture-wise, this dish was a home run. For some reason, I kept getting hints of something resembling boar taint in the sauce flavor itself. Not sure why... I don't think there was meat? I feel like I would've given this dish a 10/10 had it not been for the hint of that flavor. Service was very friendly and fast. The restaurant is small, but the seating didn't feel too tight. Even though I gave it a 5/5, I actually don't know if I would come again. The pasta was very steeply priced for not that much food. Although the capeletti was surprisingly filling, I'd rather feel full on carbs than full on pure butter and cheese.
