    Overall Moonraker is a great experience. The food is very good and the service is attentive and professional. The ambiance is exceptional with spectacular views of the ocean at sunset. The only reason I gave it 4 stars overall is due to the martini being insufficiently chilled. The taste was ok, but at $17 it has be done very well if not perfectly, and insufficient chill is a deal breaker. My guess is that the bartender is too busy to spend the time giving it sufficient shake or stir to get it cold enough, but it's still unacceptable.

    We were going to a concert on Saturday at Pacifica Performances so we decided to eat at the Moonraker. Dinner did not disappoint. The view was great with the wind, rain and high surf. Service started slow, but was really good once our server arrived at the table. Our food was delicious from start to finish. Definitely going again.

    My dad passed away a month earlier and on the day we had dinner at Moonraker, it would have been my dad's birthday. I asked the restaurant ahead of time if we could put a framed picture of my dad on the table. When we arrived, they asked if it was okay if there was a birthday dessert and we said yes. When dessert came, they had a small cake with candle with Happy Birthday written on it. My mom and I loved it and we blew the candle in front of my dad's picture. Besides this, the staff was helpful and patient. Food was good and with a nice presentation.

    Another excellent anniversary dinner at Moonraker! We had excellent cocktails followed by outstanding entree selections: salmon pinwheels and chicken parmigiana. David our server helped us pick a really great wine and they brought us a complimentary dessert. We’ll be back next year!

    Service was limited, we felt rushed, not enough food options and the seating arrangements were crowded.

    This is our 1st time here for my boy friend’s birthday. We are very happy that we come here. The service and the foods are excellent. We love the ocean view, and the environment is very romantic. We will come back.
