Food was ok. It wasn’t terrible but it didn’t excite me either. The eagles game was on so it was quite loud. Service was ok. We were seated in the back by the kitchen so yeah. It was hard to have a conversation and at some point we smelled someone smoking. Can’t say I’d go back. Parking was a complete nightmare so if you’re not from the neighborhood, dont make the trip.
Moonshine PhillyResponded on November 4, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, julie. We're sorry to hear that your visit didn't meet your expectations, especially with the noise levels and seating arrangement. We appreciate your feedback on these areas and will look into improving the ambiance and overall guest comfort. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide you with a better experience.

Met two friends for lunch. Picked Moonshine by chance of geography, it was equidistant. Pleasantly surprised by the neighborhood feel, staff, and food. Really worth it too!
