   Fantastic culinary delights prix fixe dinner and a great deal for $115 per person. Went with my husband for dinner. What we loved: The first course, each person, had all 4 items: oysters, fluke hand roll, branzino crudo, and foie gras mousse with grilled sourdough bread. All 4 items were great. The crudo was a favorite. The balance of the flavors and the texture of the fish was just perfect! For the second course, I had the shrimp and pork dumplings in stew. It is a deconstructed dish with the dumpling skin separate from the shrimp and pork filling. The highlight was the broth which had a ton of depth and flavor. My husband had the curried sable fish and he said that the curry flavor was delicious. Third Course - we both had the Tamarind Chicken Thighs, loved the textural contrast between the chicken, the pickled carrots, and the crispy quinoa. Dessert - I had the Chocolate Soufflé with Ice Cream. The Ice Cream had a bit of chili sauce and peanut mole. It was surprising and very good. My husband had the Rice Pudding which he thoroughly enjoyed. Loved the little extra touches: coconut passion fruit sorbet (palate cleanser served before dessert), guava fruit pate (after dessert), and the curry spice mix to take home. The sorbet and guava fruit pate were extra delicious! A truly memorable and enjoyable meal. As the menu is seasonal, can't wait to return to try the next new seasonal menu!

   Thanks to the Boston Globe for leading us to this astounding restaurant. Everything — (except noise level from large group…but difficult to control in such a quaint space) — absolutely everything was incredible. This is a brilliant, inspired, and exceptionally creative chef. Incredible to find in this day and age of over saturation and over indulgence. His innovations were thought provoking and original. I only wish we lived closer to explore his new creations every six weeks as he changes the menu. Bravo

   As always, Mooncusser had a menu full of unexpected, and utterly delicious, bites. The citrus and spice woven into every course always leaves me wanting more. This is, by far, the best restaurant in Boston.

   Extraordinarily creative cuisine impressed us quite a bit. To be honest, I didn’t expect sushi since I was from Japan. Surprisingly, your sushi was excellent. Nori, dried see weed, was crispy and superbly flavorful. Rice did outstanding work as well. Every dishes was so sophisticated and joyful. Hospitality was thoughtful, yet natural. In total, it was amazing experience.

    This is an intimate setting, with good lighting, attentive service, and superb food. The wine pairing is worth the extra expense, and overall an excellent value. I brought my wife, who is quite discriminating, for her birthday, and she summed it up as being "100%". Highly recommended.

    Celebrating a birthday here is very special. The unique food, service and wines were spectacular. This is my fourth time dining here and I’ve loved every dish every time. It’s for the people who are “foodies”, not a traditional type of seafood restaurant. This is a very fine dining experience.

    Food was fresh and well presented. We paired the experience with the wine pairings. I wasn’t such a fan of the wines, but the food was very enjoyable, portion was just right for my husband, I was a bit too full after the meal, but I am on the smaller side. Service was great, staff were friendly and professional.

    My fiancé and I are obsessed with mooncusser! One of our fave spots. The menu changes roughly every six weeks so every time you go it’s a totally new, exciting and delicious menu! The service is outstanding and the staff are so kind and polite. The food is also exceptional. It’s the perfect combination of clever and delicious.

    The food was spectacular as always. The wine parings were good; although a few of the choices, while reasonably well matched, we’re not as tasty as I would have liked. The noise level was initially annoyingly loud, but improved my mid-meal. The service was slower than previous.

    Got the winter prix fixe menu with wine pairing, highly recommend! All service staff were excellent, my waitress Elaine was friendly and knowledgeable. Seems like she’s also a sommelier in-training and helped select the wine pairing on the menu too. -oyster with pineapple habanero sauce (appetizer) -venison quesadilla w cheese (appetizer) -arctic char -glazed yucca -lamb loin -sorbet w pomegranate (pre-dessert) -semifreddo They gave a few appetizers and pre-dessert not listed on the prix fixe menu. I love the variety of textures and taste profiles of each dish, a lot of thought has been put into them and overall excellent wine pairing. My favorite would be the arctic char and yucca. Ambience and decor was just normal. Restaurant is on level 3 and most patrons walk a few flights of stairs up, there’s an elevator available if needed. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Would come back again to try the other other options!

    Delicious food and wine pairings. If you are planning to do something after, you should alert them at the beginning. We sat at 6 and had to get to an 8pm show. When they brought the second course around 7:10, we had to alert them of our time crunch. They were able to accommodate, but we unfortunately had to rush the last two courses. Not ideal on a very pricey meal. Wish the pacing had been more steady, don't think you should require over two hours for a 4 course meal.

    We had a great experience. My wife and I had different items for each of the 4 courses, so we tried the whole menu. We also had the wine pairing with each course. Get the wine pairing! Well chosen and really heightened an already fantastic menu. Service was outstanding. They have a fine team that was attentive and proactive but unobtrusive with helpful, friendly demeanors. We enjoyed our waiter, Clayton. The food was REALLY well done. I found the menu exciting and wasn't let down by any of the dishes. The acclaim that Chef Dooley receives is warranted. This is my kind of place. We live out of state but will find it hard not to come back whenever we return to Bean Town.
