    This is a bittersweet review to write as this fantastic Dallas institution is about to close its doors forever in 2 weeks. Very simply put, this gastropub has it all: the look, the ambiance, the warmth, the food, the beers and so many other drinks. Make sure to go again before the end of May. And let’s teleport the whole operation as it is now somewhere else in Dallas :)

    One of the best restaurants Dallas has to offer. Sad to see it go. Great service from when we walked in to time we left. Food came out fast and hot.

    Great service, great food, it's a shame it is closing. Been going since it opened in 2010. Will miss the Moth very much.

    LOVE this restaurant. Every time is an amazing experience. Introduced friends from CA to it on Saturday evening and they loved it so much they wanted to come back again tonight before they leave town. Highly recommend.

    The food was delicious, especially the pork belly appetizer. Sad to hear this restaurant is closing. Eat here while you can.

    I chose this place for my sister’s 50th birthday and they did not disappoint. The Dr. Pepper ribs and Braised short ribs were so tender and flavorful and I can’t say enough about the bread pudding, OMG!!! I hate I found this place so late and I hate that they are closing but would definitely visit again if I had the chance.
