Very elegant dining area. Food was fanatic, despite running out of my initial selection earlier in the morning. Great service.
$1 oyster on Mondays. Service was great and fast. Went during happy hour 3-6. But I have been there for breakfast and dinner before. Always great service and great food.
Moonstones is a beautiful restaurant with a modern atmosphere. Dimly lit and full of deep tones, it feels like an upscale lounge! The menu has an impressive variety of fusion foods: Korean, Chinese, Indian, American, and many more. Meals are not inexpensive, but not unreasonable for this type of restaurant. The food was excellent - I had the chicken dumplings and they were incredible! Great restaurant with great atmosphere.
I sat at the raw bar since I had gone by myself. I had high hopes based on how the food looked prepared by the raw bar staff. They certainly put time and thought into the food presentation. I ordered the smoked salmon, baby beets with goat cheese and the buffalo calamari. I also ordered a cocktail called The bee's knees.
1. Salmon
I love smoked salmon but only when it melts in your mouth. I found myself tugging at it to get a bite.
2. Baby beets - great
3.calamari - I am not a die hard fan of calamari but I can enjoy it. I found the pieces of calamari too big for my enjoyment and way too chewy. I like smaller pieces and crisper.
3. Bee's knees - honey infused gin with lavender. Really good. The wait staff was very nice and though I did not have dessert, it looked quite good.
I'm willing to give it another go. There are many tapas I found interesting. The place was crowded so maybe I missed something.
I went to lunch with a friend on a Friday afternoon. The lunch crowd is a mix of those who work nearby and those that stay in the hotel near the restaurant.
I ordered the tuna poke bowl and I was hoping for a stronger flavor with the marinated tuna. The rice wasn't seasoned well, might suggest soy sauce on the side to add some more flavor or cutting it with some rice wine. The presentation was well done though.
After reading some reviews, it seems like this is more of a dinner establishment.
Always a wonderful meal. The carrot cake was ridiculous. All of the drinks on the craft cocktails menu we're delicious. Highly recommend! Nathan at the raw bar is great!
"Best restaurant that I've been to" was what my wife told me as she happily smiled. We both wished we lived closer to Moonstones. BTW, our server, Gilda, was wonderful!
Absolutely Delicious! From the Steak to the Burger. Top notch. You have to ask for the Raspberry Ice Tea. Sooooo good. Thank you, from a crazy group of Canadians. 😁
Surprisingly fantastic! The brunch plates are well thought out, balanced and cooked. The only downside of this place is the decor puts you in an older style evening lounge atmosphere.
Well stocked raw bar. Appetizers are great. Fine selection of mains and a good beer selection
Small plates gives me the opportunity to sample the entire menu and share with friends. I always feel welcomed here. Thanks Holly for a great lunch break.
Every meal I've had here has been delicious. The items on the menu are creative and full of flavor and the chefs prepare the dishes exquisitely. The waitstaff is friendly and attentive. It's a classy place without being pretentious. Do not miss the chocolate pate! I also recommend the rosemary & sea salt fries and the scallops. Weekday lunchtime was packed, but late night was very quiet. There is a nice bar area too.
Nice ambiance and setup inside. Nice service. However a bit disappointed about the food. I ordered #1 tuna tartare starter and it was too salty. The tuna was finely ground like a puree making it less interesting. I also had the seared scallops and mushrooms tapas and they were good but nothing extraordinary. I expect the scallops to be bigger and better quality for an upscale restaurant. Overall it's a nice place with nice service.
Excellent craft beer list. Lots of small plates to choose from so there is something for everyone. Lunch is also very good here.
Overpriced for what you get. Actually more expensive than restaurants in Boston's financial distract, yet half as good. Small cocktails, uninspired menu
I love their brunch! The restaurant in general is a nice place especially in the area. I've been there a few times for dinner, a few times for lunch and a few times for brunch. Around dinner time they tend to be very busy and you can tell they struggle. Lunch and brunch is a little slower so you can get more of an experience. But the staff is pleasant and the foods good so overall a good place to dine!
I was traveling for business and I was alone and I found an absolute gem in Chelmsford, MA. Moonstones is an absolutely amazing restaurant with unbelievably delicious food. The bartender Aaron advised with the best drinks, appetizers, small plates and desserts options that will satisfy every palate!! He is knowledgeable, courteous and adorable in every way!! I can't wait to come back to Moonstones with friends, family and clients to see Aaron and experience all the different dishes at Moonstones. I had the tuna tartare, mushroom risotto, short ribs and the best cheesecake I ever had in my entire life!! Yummy!! OMG!
Food was reasonable good. They are trying to pull off an exclusive club feel as a high end restaurant. Without actually being an exclusive club, the vibe comes off peculiar in a restaurant setting. The theme is dated even though they are trying to be modern.
The smoked tuna was awesome. Other dishes I had were only OK.
It feels like you're paying for their decor instead of the focus on the food.
