    I would love to say that everyone that likes good food and a great beer selection should go here but they will be closing soon due to a rent hike. I will surely miss this place. If you can go within the next couple of weeks I would suggest you go.

    We sat on the outside covered patio for lunch. The service was excellent and attentive. The food selection was appropriate. Cocktail, wine and beer options were extensive. We are very disappointed that The Moth will be closing in mid May.

    I am sad that this place is closing soon. It has been a staple in the Design District for years and will be missed. I am hoping the stain glass windows end up somewhere safe. RIP to one of the best bread pudding desserts in town.
