"My wife and I went to the Crescent moon for Easter Brunch. Very disappointed with the quality of the food especially for the price we paid. Service was outstanding though, nice views from patio."

"Our server was inattentive. Some of the individual food was good, most was not, even though the chef is supposed to be award winning. Tables are bare with no mats, just a plain naked table, no salt/pepper, and waiters standing around talking but seemingly not engaged with their jobs. We thought the food would be better and even the Caesar Salad was a joke -- no dressing on the lettuce, just cut up greens, a few slivers of cheese on a plate. For being a restaurant in a 4-Seasons -- we were disappointed and will not return. Scottsdale's other restaurants have so much more to offer and they are lower priced."

"In the past this has been a great spot, but for whatever reasons they seem to have a lot of problem with wine storage -- our bottle of bonarda was plonk. Yes yes, a guy can send a bottle back...but this wasn't the first time it has happened and we're not pretentious, so we tend to not send back wine unless it is spoiled."

"I took my two young daughters for dinner, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier or more inviting. The gal who prepared the tableside quacamole even invited my 5-year old to help, which she loved! All aspects of the food and drink were outstanding."

"Went for the Christmas Buffet and had a nice time. Staff were friendly buffet food was fine if a bit overpriced at $70 a head. the desserts were fantastic. Not much evidence of Christmas decoration other than some strings of brussel sprouts in a Christmas stocking! But I didn't have to cook so hooray for me."
