    BMOA is our family’s favorite restaurant at Avila Beach. We go here for special occasions and have many fond memories. We love sitting outside and always enjoy the great view and ambience. The food and service are typically wonderful, too. However, this visit the service from the hostess/food server was awful. (Our waitress was wonderful!) We are assuming the hostess is new to the job or poorly trained. She had a challenging time finding our reservation; brought us to our table with the wrong menus (and #); wrong number of set-ups; and took a bit of time to bring the right ones. She brought our shared Caesar salad with no tongs and took a bit of time to bring them. She just seemed overall confused. Additionally, my husband’s birthday was never acknowledged even though I included this note on our reservation. I hope this feedback helps BMOA. This particular hostess needs support to achieve your typical standard.

    We had a lovely Mother's Day brunch and sat in the back room. Everything was wonderful. Emma, our server, was attentive and super sweet. The food was great. We're looking forward to coming back.

    Every time we stay in Avila we have to visit Blue Moon Over Avila. We always have a glass of sparkling or champagne, a shrimp cocktail & entree or dessert to get our stay off to an incredible beginning. Sitting on the patio (weather permitting) can't be surpassed; the view, the food & drink & the way all the everyday baggage just falls away is incredible!

    4 out of 8 Ordered the scallops shrimp rice special. Scallops were cold and raw inside but didn’t want to make a fuss, we all were sick the next morning. Should have made a fuss. Beautiful table, great service. 3rd time eating dinner there and food is subpar. But will we return for the ambience… probably:)

    Always a wonderful experience at Blue Moon! I brought some friends who had never eaten there before and they loved it. Seth was fantastic. Great hospitality and service. And the Austin Hope Cabernet with the Steak Au Poivre was *chef's kiss* delicious. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Great food and French wine. Small menu, but good choices, especially appetizers like charcuterie (Happy hour menu), French onion soup, escargot, and brie. Can't beat the location. Enjoy patio seating with a view of the ocean.

    A darling beachside French bistro with delicious food, a local wine list, welcoming staff and lovely restaurant overall. Patio seating in warmer weather has perfect views. A must stop on our visits to Avila Beach! Relax and enjoy your time with the people that make the dining experience special. Thank you Angie, Gilles and Jason as well as the accommodating host and attentive busser.

    We actually sat down looking forward to a nice dinner. The restaurant has limited the menu so much that we got up and left. They only had 4 options for main entree. The server said that they made the change a few weeks or month before. There were even a few more people that had walked up that made the same comment. They didn’t stay either. It’s a nice place but such a limited menu is a mistake.
