   As always my evening at Mooncusser was fabulous. The food is creative and looks gorgeous. The service is attentive without being intrusive. I continue to be awed by the place.

   Truly wonderful! I returned to Mooncusser for the second time, and I was delighted by a completely different menu which was equally stunning. I absolutely love the style of cooking. The servers are amazingly kind and generous with their time. They explain all the wine pairings and good in great detail. Definitely a value for what you get, too. I can’t wait to see what the next iteration of the menu will be!

   Very interesting prix fixe 3 course menu. Each course had two choices that were mainly seafood. I had pork for my third course which was great. Quite a lot of spice used but I did not find the food "hot".

   Mooncusser offers a truly unmatched dining experience. Chef Dooley has a talent for putting his own spin on world flavors in a way that honors multiple cuisines over the course of a single meal. Every combination is so thoughtful: familiar yet surprising. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, without any pretense. It feels as if they are as excited to explain the dishes as you are to eat them. And for a prix fixe menu without any misses (and even some bonus bites), it's an unbelievable value.

    I travelled to Boston for a few nights and Mooncusser will be my most vivid memory. Every single bite was delicious. The menu was so well put together, each course was full of complex flavors that came together into a perfect bite. The portions were great and the service was wonderful. I will be back next time I’m in Boston.

    Truly exceptional food and service. Impossible to rate it was so good. Delicious food, new tastes and textures. Undersells and over delivers. Four course prix fixe with either/or choice from each. But there was a delicious "shrimp cocktail" with hunks of shrimp and I think fish in an orange sauce to spoon on tasty chips. Toasted sourdough bread with spring peas in a cod and white sauce, and to cleanse palate, raspberries in sherbet. Two of us had tuna crudo, a third soft shell crab. All had scallops in a spicy hot sauce, spiced swordfish entree, and German chocolate cake, like nothing you've ever seen or tasted. Great cocktails, couple of choices for beer, a few wines by glass, and two pages of white and red bottles. A huge bargain for the price. Not to miss!

    The food and the dining experience at Mooncusser is INCREDIBLE! Every dish on the 4 course pre fix menu was delicious. Wonderful balance of flavors and textures, and nice sized portions. There were also many additional small plates added through the meal including a starter, and intricate bread dish, and a pallet cleanser before dessert. We left very full and very satisfied! We didn’t do the wine pairing although it looks wonderful. Their cocktails were intricate and delicious! We will definitely be back.

My husband and I agreed that it was one of the best meals and dining experiences we have had in many, many years. A real gem!

    The Drinks were amazing and service was great. The wines were very nice and complimented to food well. For Boston the pricing of the menu was good and the food is nicely prepared. The selections were a bit all over the place so there seemed to be somewhat of a lack of focus although the food was very good. I would go back without hesitation.

    Mooncusser provides by far Boston's best food. Innovative combinations of flavors, magnificently prepared. Right up there with the top Michelin-rated restaurants in France. Its prix-fixe menus (no a la carte dishes, you get two choices for each of four courses) are expensive, but the expense is proportionate to the quality of the food. The ambiance is not distinguished--a relatively small space a little awkwardly upstairs, with restrooms a floor below located awkwardly in relation to the kitchen--but the room is quiet, with widely spaced tables appropriate to a really high-end restaurant. A unique and delightful experience.

    Everything they served (and we ate everything on the menu) was beautiful and delicious. The prix fixe $95 was well worth it. We added the extra $55 for wine pairing was a little uneven - largely successful, but challenging in spots and not always inspired. Came away feeling like the food was great and great value while the wine pairing was good and questionable value. That said, I’ll definitely be back - the menu changes every month, so it looks like we’ll have to get in there pretty regularly.

    It’s spectacular! We have been chef Dooley followers for years. Fans of the old Table at Season to Taste will remember the incredibly thoughtful four course dinners with two choices per course and perfect wine pairings. Thankfully, this concept continues and hard as it is to believe - seems even more elevated than before. We aren’t really dining indoors in general, but make the exception for Mooncusser (ceilings are high, tables aren’t crowded too close, ventilation seems good too and it’s just worth it). I’d be remiss not to mention how fabulous the service is. Seems like people enjoy working there and it shows. We’ll be back again soon!

    Can’t believe we only discovered this place now! It was fantastic. We sat at the bar and the bartender Daniel was super friendly and attentive. All the servers were very polite, and everyone seemed happy and just nice. Everything ran so smoothly - from seating to meal service. The food was fantastic- we were two so ended up having everything on the menu. It was all delicious. Courses were a nice size and not too heavy. Flavors were perfect. My husband had the wine pairing and I will do that too next time. The Chef came out to serve our dessert and check on how our meal was. Also, the cocktails were really good. Congratulations to the restaurant for running such a tight ship, with great quality and service, especially these days that is harder and harder to find. We can’t wait to come back next month for the next menu!

    The May pre-fixe offering was fantastic! Two unexpected amuse-bouche courses were delicious and thoughtful touches that made an impressive meal even better. The waitstaff was attentive and fun - and loved that chef Carl Dooley was out and about greeting us and other guests throughout the evening. A great experience overall - will definitely be back!!

    Overall the meal was a flavor bomb. There are two choices for each of the four plates. My son picked one of the option and I picked the other to sample the whole menu. Each item was so good. If I’m ever in Boston again I will go back.

    The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was unique, perfectly seasoned, amazing flavor combinations, and each felt really special (we went with all the seafood options on the tasting menu). In addition to the selections we chose from the menu, we were also treated to a couple other little bites prior to the first course that absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this dining experience.

    Food is fair overall however nothing special re the ambience and echoing noise and not a good choice of music for the dinner being served. Male toilet tap was out of order and female toilet tap was adjusted to very hot water …minor details but +$300 for two doesn’t justify the value overall.
