Review summary

Half Moon Point is a charming spot ideal for special occasions, offering "amazing" and "delicious" food, from firecracker shrimp to filet mignon. The atmosphere is often described as "warm and inviting," especially during festive seasons. Consistently praised for its "outstanding" service, the restaurant's diverse menu and signature cocktails, like the "Hot & Dirty" martini, are a must-try. While some find the noise levels and parking challenging, the overall dining experience remains a "pleasure." With attentive staff and a delightful ambience, Half Moon Point is a culinary gem worth revisiting.

This is a lively local place that has it all: great food, an acoustic singer providing subtle folk music as you dine, and a friendly staff. The short ribs over a bed of Mac n' Cheese with a side of Brussel Sprouts was sumptuous, as was the chocolate bread pudding that finished it off. My wife got the sesame crusted ahi tuna, and she enjoyed that as well.

We ordered the firecracker shrimp and calamari appetizers. Very good. For dinner my son and daughter both had the filet mignon, my husband had the rack of lamb and I had the pork chops. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!

Went there on New Years Eve for early dinner. Place was beautifully decorated. 2 very noisy groups made it hard to talk at times, but once they left, it was pretty quiet. Food was excellent. Service was OK. We seemed to have to wait a bit for courses, drinks, etc. Not sure where the issue was but, on a whole, we had a nice time & I would def go back there again.

The atmosphere was so nicely decorated for the Christmas season . It was warm and inviting . The food was good. Our service was excellent! The seating is tight! Would benefit if they removed 2 tables but then not benefiting financially.
