   Amazing 4 course experience. In fact, my wife and I ordered different selections and shared, giving us 8 different tastes of phenomenal cooking. Every course, every bite was fantastic and we were simply blown away. Still talking about the meal hours later. We will go back!!

   My husband and I went to Mooncusser to celebrate my birthday this past Saturday night - we were attracted by the rish dinner, tasting menu (not too many decisions to make) and the opportunity for wine pairing. It was fabulous! Very interesting dishes, with good flavor, crunch and acidity. The wine pairings were very well done and not selections we have seen elsewhere or would have chosen ourselves. Highly recommended.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner here - food was terrific and the dining room had an air of serenity. The Bernardaud china was a nice touch. The chef and staff were SO accommodating about modifications to our dishes so that we could eat gluten & dairy free and we didn't feel one bit compromised - it was all excellent. Pre-pandemic, we would celebrate our anniversary at Season to Taste in Cambridge because of Carl Dooley; now we have followed him to Mooncusser and it did not disappoint. Looking forward to trying the more casual Cusser some time soon, too.

    This was the best dining experience I’ve ever had. The food was amazing. We were so glad we included the wine pairing. It says four courses, but really it was almost seven with all the extras. Definitely worth the price. We wanted to go back again the next evening too.

    We had an amazing meal! The reviews have all been great and our experience exceeded our expectations. Every course was better than the next. The flavors were complex yet the food was accessible and not over the top. The standout of the night was the oysters with spicy green tomatoes! So seemingly simple but complex and delicious. Loved the snack courses, the wine paring and the popsicle. We were so full when we finished because we had to eat everything. Look forward to coming back.

    We were seated next to the window and could watch the sunset. The service staff was extremely on top of their game. As soon as we finished a dish it would be cleared, and the next course was served promptly. They also had good wine recommendations. The food was delicious. We had two “before the menu” appetizers consisting of oysters and biscuits. The main courses were delicious. The chef stopped by our table to clear our plates, and we commented that we were enjoying the fresh herbs. He said that he tried to make sure every dish had herbs, acidity, and crunch. Indeed every dish did! It was superb!

    Really enjoyed the place and the service, selection of wine and overall experience. However the food was not exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant like this and for this price. Dishes were presented very nicely and we enjoyed the overall experience, however the combination of tastes was far from perfect.

    We wanted to try the new menu items because they change every month. We couldn’t pass up this months menu (which ends on 7/13). As typical everything tasted great. All of the dishes were unique and had a cohesiveness to them. No ingredient felt out of place. None of the dishes were boring in terms of flavor profile either. I highly suggest doing the wine pairing as the wines they select perfectly compliment the dish. Some of them the point where I would not drink the wine without the accompanying plate. I hope they maintain their wine & food pairing ethos. I still rate this Bostons best restaurant.

    A true fine dining restaurant without a big ego. The foods make you picture a jolly chef who genuinely enjoys the kitchen. As all the other mediocre over-hyped "high-end" "fusion" restaurants branding themselves with "international influences" upset me with bland overpriced foods desperately looking to please the good old boring "expensive tastebuds" by taking out authentic spices, this place boldly presents incredible new flavors while simply calling itself a "local seafood spot."

    I've eaten at Mooncusser twice now, and both times the experience was outstanding. The creativity of the menu is rivaled only by the quality of the service. Everyone involved in our dining experience is superbly attentive, friendly, and can easily answer any questions you may have. The only possible note I may have is the portions of the wines poured if you choose the pairing option could be a tiny bit more, but that really is a silly, minor point. If you're considering dining here, go for it. We can't wait to return.

    Truly wonderful! I returned to Mooncusser for the second time, and I was delighted by a completely different menu which was equally stunning. I absolutely love the style of cooking. The servers are amazingly kind and generous with their time. They explain all the wine pairings and good in great detail. Definitely a value for what you get, too. I can’t wait to see what the next iteration of the menu will be!

    Mooncusser offers a truly unmatched dining experience. Chef Dooley has a talent for putting his own spin on world flavors in a way that honors multiple cuisines over the course of a single meal. Every combination is so thoughtful: familiar yet surprising. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, without any pretense. It feels as if they are as excited to explain the dishes as you are to eat them. And for a prix fixe menu without any misses (and even some bonus bites), it's an unbelievable value.
