Reviews of Moonshadow

House-made food with options for everybody (fish, meat, GOOD vegetarian options, food for picky kids). Don’t sleep on the cocktails — they’re creative, well-balanced, and tasty. The pork-belly deviled eggs are a treat. Hand-cut fries. Try the buffalo cauliflower. The kids got chicken fingers that were so good the adults stole a few. The rosemary chicken was a winner — really tender and flavorful. Cozy taverny vibe. We’ll be back, and often. It looks like they have live music and nice outdoor seating for when the weather is a little nicer than it was for us.

We had a group of five that really enjoyed all the food we tried. I highly recommend the catfish bites. The only downside was our server was MIA much of the time, then they had to go back and forth to print receipts, forgot her Toast POS handheld, all of which delayed the payment process in addition to forgetting to order a salad for one person. Altogether a pleasant experience and wonderful food.

Right off the bat, I'll say it: If you are coming to their "cafe" for breakfast in the morning, don't. It's a beautiful space but there is no food (beyond a handful of odd scones) until the main restaurant opens at 11. It's weird because breakfast at the lake, especially on Sundays, is a big challenge--Perkins is packed every single morning for a reason (there's a bit of takeout but nobody else but Little Sandy's is open for sit-down breakfast, especially on Sundays). With a few egg sandwiches or something, it would be a perfect solution. But you'll be hungry now. The main restaurant has an amazing brunch on Sundays (again, not until 11, which is odd on a day so many people are checking out of rentals and heading home). Lunch and dinner are very good. Best burger on the lake, bar none. But service is very unpredictable and generally slow. It's comfortable here but you should know you're not popping in and out for a meal. Up the cafe game and life will be good!

This is a Gem! And I highly recommend a visit! Food and service were top tier for quality, taste, and timeliness. My salmon was cooked perfectly and the sides and appetizer were delicious. I was there on a weeknight without live music and it was very family friendly. They do have live music often on weekends so I imagine this would be a good spot for some night-life also. They locally source their supplies and make everything in house. As a bonus, they also have many options for dietary restrictions which is a rare find in this coast in rural areas.

Food 10/10 - awesome cheese burgers, Rueben’s, fries, and jalapeño poppers. Flavor was amazing, presentation was beautiful, and everything was fresh. Service 10/10 - great servers that were very kind, attentive, and pleasant to be around. Atmosphere 8/10 - inside was a bit loud with the music but we loved the outdoor seating.

We have gone here twice so far on our visit, and plan to go again this evening for the 4th of July! We had a great server both times named Phil, and he took very good care of us! The food is fantastic! Great choices and none of us have had a bad meal so far! Also, the live music is fantastic 😍 Highly recommend!

This restaurant is unique and delightful! They have eclectic decor with an interesting piece of art everywhere you turn. Their menu was full of unusual ingredients combined in delicious ways. I tried a unique herbal tea called "Ward off Hades." And Grapple Salad was definitely a winner! They have vegetarian options and hearty meat recipes, comfort foods and gourmet food experiences. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Moonshadow Restaurant was a blast. Ate lunch there. Crab dip was excellent in a bread bowl. Inquired about music because they have a stage inside. Made reservations to go back later. They had a live band, Rock Creek Revival, a bluegrass band. What a great show and atmosphere! Food was good, setting was perfect, and live music was great!!😎😎
