This was our first time visiting, the cocktails were amazing and the bartender Sean was super attentive. The ricotta was delicious, light and fluffy and focaccia was nice and warm. They even offered more focaccia when we ran out. The margherita was amazing, the dough was perfect. All and all a perfect date night spot. Making a reservation wasn't required but it was something good to do ahead of time because this place did fill up a little after 8.

We had such an amazing experience at Bar Moon! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Oscar was attentive, welcoming, and made our evening feel so special. He truly went above and beyond and even surprised us with a complimentary slice of cake! We felt genuinely welcomed and cared for from beginning to end. We can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The food was delicious! The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable! Different servers were coming up to help refill our water and take our empty plates. It was great teamwork! Trevino did a great job taking care of me and my husband. Can’t wait to tell my friends to go and eat here!

    We always love coming to Brenners. We celebrate our anniversary almost every year here. I normally order a ribeye but decided to try a special cut selection. It was good just a little too salty. Everything else was amazing as always.
