I have been living in the area for 10+ years and finally made it to Moonstruck. I don’t know why I waited so long. My girlfriend and I were very impressed! The restaurant is huge—3 floors with two bars and indoor as well as outdoor patio/balcony seating. It has a very old school, yet regal vibe to it. Everyone is …

Love love love this restaurant! I can't say enough good things. Our experience was amazing. Cool New Orleans atmosphere with live music. The best octopus I've ever had. They had a special surf and turf for $45, 45 that's unheard of! The steak was cooked perfectly and was not petite, full sized! Lots of seating. Can't wait to return!!
Good food, high end restaurant in a nice location on a river. If you can get a window seat, the view is great. I had the tuna and they substituted rice so that my meal was gluten free. The tuna was sushi grade and excellent. We ate here once before about two years ago, and I had the roast duck …

Great atmosphere, with a multi-floor set up. Bar & lounge downstairs can get a bit loud if there’s live music. But the upper floors are quite quiet. Service is professional and attentive. Great food and a variety of options. Good views of Ocean Grove and the waterway
