   Every dish from the vension taco (amuse bouche), artic char, hamachi, lamb loin, on and on for this 4 course meal with amzing winde pairings was brilliant. The service was spot on and it was a great date night!

   Excellent food and portions were appropriate for a four course set menu. Recommend the wine pairing Decor was spartan and clean. Surrounding space and entry were off-putting.

   One of the best restaurants in town for sure. Everything is extremely fresh. Dishes are inventive and surprising. For example, this is the first time I had mackerel in Boston. First time also I had safran in a desert. Plates are really well presented. The staff is really nice. The only thing that needs some work is the atmosphere to make this dining experience even more enjoyable.

    Delicious NY Eve dinner here. Tasting menu and it’s pricey. But most every dish was very well executed and there was an optional wine pairing as well which we opted out of and ordered our own glasses. Especially amazing was the first course - house made tortilla chip topped with Mahi Mahi and the dessert - a frozen white chocolate with dried citrus rinds and parsnip. Excellent service.

    Excellent tasting menu with wine pairing. Two options for each course which made it perfect for a night of sharing for a party of 2. Very nice, knowledgeable, and unstuffy staff made the night even more incredible. Our first time being there, but since their menu changes monthly, we are sure to be back soon and often.

    Mooncusser is a unique culinary experience from start to finish, and I highly recommend the wine pairing option. Chef Dooley is paying close attention to the balance of flavors and textures in each dish, playing with sweet and salty, mild and spicy, soft and crunchy, etc. We were even pleasantly surprised to see him hand-deliver two of the courses to our table. The dishes are artfully presented, and the portions are a good size. The wine pairing works out to about 2.5 glasses per person, and you have the opportunity to try wines from various regions that pair very well with each dish.

    Mooncusser absolutely delivered an exceptional dining experience. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and explained each course on the prix fixe menu in detail and provided great background on the wine pairings. Each course was exquisite, all aspects were considered and every dish was a balance of amazing taste and texture. My choices of Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, Glazed Royal Shrimp, Tamarind Braised Duck Leg, and Quince Upside Down Cake were outstanding. Can’t wait to visit again!

    Was a great time and a fine meal. The duck was an absolute experience, but we enjoyed every dish. We were sat early and the wait staff was very attentive. We opted for house cocktails instead of the wine pairing and the rye drink was excellent. The room was a little louder than we would have liked and the washroom being on a different floor are about the only complaints I could come up with. I will absolutely be back for another meal next time I'm in Boston.

    Nice set up for 4 people, the simplified menu was a success. It was more spicy than the first visit, a nice evolution. The wine pairing is fine, but the value at Mooncusser is primarily in the food itself

    The tasting menu and service were amazing; highly recommend if good service is important to you. I agree with the other reviewer(s) who have noted the lack of a coat check--I understand that space is very limited in the venue, but it was a little off putting for a somewhat high-end place in Boston, a very cold city, to not have a coat check or at least some coat stands. The tasting menu was truly innovative and a masterpiece; the entire menu took about 2.5 hours. Some of the dishes were very rich, so I honestly think the portions could be smaller, especially since the menu is already pretty affordable. I also think they should put some space heaters or something in the (women's, at least) bathrooms. All in all, I think the restaurant itself is great, but the venue design needs a little work.

    A lot to like here, but also a lot missing. You enter through a casual bar thT looks like something you would find at a VFW not a nice restaurant. You then need to go up three flights in and elevator. Once you get to the restaurant its beautiful and elegant. The food was good with a couple dishes being excellent and a couple be only ok. The wine paring was the most disappointing part of the night. Paring bad wine with good food thinking you will bring out the best of the wine is just a bad philosophy. To many great wines to have to complcate the pairings Service was very efficient and consistent. Only complaint would be to have place to hang your coats as i really don’t want to sit on my coat as i’m eating a nice dinner Overall good not great
