From the start my waiter was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations were spot on. It was my birthday and he surprised me with a candle, happy birthday written in chocolate and champagne. I have been waiting a long time to go there and look forward to coming again.

Restaurant week menu was great! We had tuna tartare, beet&kale salad as starters and cod and beef short ribs for entree. Everything was delicious. Not sure if I would go with regular menu though , it’s on pricier side. There is also 3% credit card charge.

First, service was outstanding. We stopped by the bar to grab a few drinks before our reservation. The bartender was attentive and very nice! Second our server, Alex, was excellent! He was very detailed with the descriptions of te days specials and took his time explaining. I've been to a lot of places where the server goes too fast, which I completely understand they have others they need to serve. Our appitzer selections were delicious! We got the baked brie and meatballs. The sauce on the meatballs was perfect! Two of us got specials and my husband ordered an entre from the dinner menu, NO LEFTOVERS! Everything was tasty!! We also got dessert, and what dessert is bad?! Looking forward to getting back to the Moshulu soon. Thank you for a wonderful night out!
