    Very creative choices for food and always very tasty. The service is very engaging, friendly and helpful. The best part is the owner and chef delivers the main entre to the table and thanks you for coming to the restaurant. Highly recommend.

    Wow! We enjoyed an amazing meal! The food was delicious and the entire team at Moonshine 152 was warm, friendly and attentive! The fried chicken was fantastic as was the ‘burger of the month!’ We really enjoyed the blistered shishito peppers and decadent stuffing bites, too. There were so many menu items we wanted to try - we will definitely be back!

    First time dining at Moonshine. We ate at 4.30pm, which is a strange time as it isn’t lunch or dinner. The food selection is varied and was easy to choose something. The waitress was lovely, attentive and the meal was delicious and well paced. I’ll definitely go back!

    This place came highly recommended by local friends. It was worth the hype. Food took a little bit of time, but when it arrived it was all worth the wait. The food was made with love and high quality ingredients. Chef was the one that brought the food to all tables. You can tell she has a passion for what she does. Check out the Parks and Recreation inspired cocktails and the art work throughout the restaurant. Must try: Eggs Benedict, grass feed burger and the Leslie Knope executive mimosa.

    Amazing dinner with some friends who were visiting Boston from out of town! The entire Moonshine team goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The food is always amazing with seasonal dishes and some staples like the fried chicken and crab Rangoons that are a must try.

    Wonderful time, celebrating my son's birthday. Food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing. We go every year to celebrate his birthday at his favorite restaurant and I really look forward to it.

    Asia Mei’s food at Moonshine is sublime, no matter what you choose you will be delighted with the quality, innovative nature, and taste. The lamb meatballs are terrific, the crab Rangoon is phenomenal, as is everything. Amanda is an awesome host and server. One of the best restaurants in Boston
