We had a great meal on a very cold evening outside but warm night inside at Moeca. Food was tasty and presentation was appealing. Emily did an excellent job guiding our choices and providing clear answers to our questions. We felt well taken care of throughout our dining experience.

We had a lovely evening. My son has celiac disease, and the chef and staff were very knowledgeable and made sure his food was celiac safe. Everything was delicious, the wine was a perfect match and the service was great.

Two of the best bites I’ve ever had. Only meal better I’ve had in the last 3 years was a tasting menu in Barcelona. Incredible place

The service was thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We ordered oysters—I like them briny and bare—but the cucumber foam on these sweet things was revelatory, very good. We shared the tart, which was fine, but the layers could have been more distinct or more flavorful or something. Squid was great with the two textures. And we shared the fish head, which was fun and delicious. Great sauce with it.
