Moonshine is my go to for brunch. It's been favorite for over 5 years. Victor and the staff are very warm and welcoming. The menu has a good variety of drink and food options. They keep it lively with good music as well as keeping the sports fan happy with TVs showing your favorites. Hoping for their continued success.

It was all of our first time at a Ruth’s Chris last night and our server James was the definition of perfect. We celebrated a birthday and he made her birthday memorable. Food was a 10, drinks were a 10, atmosphere was a 10, but James was a 20/10. He really brought everything together and made our dinner an incredible experience

    The venue itself was worth the visit, with the rich history and beautifully cared for woodwork. The food and cocktails were deliciously prepared and the serve staff very friendly and knowledgeable. So glad we found this place!
