    The food was outstanding (Salmon, Filet Mignon, Port chop), which is why we returned to Half Moon Point yesterday. The shrimp cocktail was one of the best around as were the other appetizers. The quality, presentation, and taste of each meal was excellent. However, we had several concerns regarding the service from top to bottom. One of our party of four has a garlic intolerance. The server could not tell if certain items contained garlic and "had to go downstairs to check." I also ordered fresh oysters. I was told that they had 3 different East Coast varieties. I asked the server if I could order all six of the Wellfleet oysters as they are my favorite. She had to check once again and returned only to say that she, nor the chef, could distinguish "which oyster was which." I found this very unprofessional. We ordered a side of bread, which was basically two slices of Italian bread cut in half (4 pieces) and were charged $7.00 for it. When we asked a bus person for butter, she stated that "I'm not sure I can give it to you." We had to ask for refills of water, which was also showed a lack of service and attentiveness. We opted not to order dessert, but ordered two cups of tea and two cups of Cappuccino. All of these items were lukewarm at best, and the tea cups were a little over half-full. The prices aren't cheap and the food is excellent, but when the overall service and lack of menu knowledge is subpar, it was very disappointing. What could have and should have been an excellent dinner, left us wondering if we will return.

    So disappointed. Waited forever for a waiter. Waited forever for drinks and first course. Dirty dishes not cleared and entrees were delivered over 10 minutes, potatoes cold. When I please asked for dirty dishes to be removed, waiter snapped, “we are really busy.” Drinks ordered for entree, they arrived as we finished dinner. It was a terrible experience.

    This was our 3rd time to Half Moon Point and once again it did not disappoint. Our server was knowledgeable, courteous with just the right amount of upbeat personality to help make our dining experience perfect. We had the Brussel sprouts for an appi- a definite must. My husband had the pork chop with is perfect each time he has had it there. I was torn between the fish & chips special, the shrimp tempura special or the scallops and ultimately went with the fish & chips. It was good but they didn’t have tartar sauce. There was another sauce with the fish but I didn’t care for it. Oh. My. Gosh!!! The chocolate bread pudding is an absolute must try-not your typical bread pudding but you WON’T be disappointed!

    Food was good, service ok at 6pm on a Saturday. Drinks and appetizers arrived in moderate time, but entrees did not arrive for quite some time. Staff was pleasant and helpful but obviously very busy although the restaurant was not. Noise level upstairs was high and made conversation difficult.
