   Hello Marisa, thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry to hear about the Gift Certificates. When the restaurant changed hands, more than 6 years ago, the new owners allowed all gift certificates from the previous owner to be used or traded-in for 90 days. We understand your frustration even if the gift card was issued over a decade ago. Please call the restaurant and we will be glad to get a new Gift Card for you.

   We have come to this restaurant several times over the past 20 years or so. Live the view and the ambiance. Looked at the menu online and almost backed out over the prices. Glad we came because the food is extremely good, the service was wonderful, and the view of the beaches and ocean are wonderful. We started with the bread and butter plate. The bread was hot, the butter was shaped like a clam and had spices and herbs that made it deliciously special. We ordered beets with burrata and it was very well done. The beets were cut into nice sized pieces, the burrata was on a bed of some kind of sauce that gave it more flavor and there were crunchy baked or fried carrot strips. The delicata squash was super good. We also had pot roast just the way I like it, nice and lean, on mashed potatoes. Oh, and a green salad we had was very fresh and flavorful. Worth every penny.

   I have been coming here for 30 years or so now, and it's been more and more disappointing in the last 20 years or so. I hate to say that, but each time I've been here since 2015, it just keeps getting worse in terms of quality, service, and atmosphere. The last time I came here and actually enjoyed it was New Year's Eve 2006. The prior visits in 1995 and 2004 were great, too, so maybe it's me getting older? This last visit was probably the worst, and I'll never come back here again. The prices are too high; the quality of the food was mediocre, at best. It's a shame, too, when a favorite spot of yours deteriorates over time. But hey, maybe I'm just more cynical and picky now in my middle age. Try it for yourself and see how it goes; I'd like to try it again, to recapture the enjoyment of my earlier years here, but I don't think I will. Also, fix the road into the parking lot! Too many potholes!!

   Been there a few times and always a great meal. Staff is friendly and helpful. Only issue is noise levels. This night the solo musician could have turned down the volume. Being able to sit and watch the ocean is always a plus

   They people at Moonstone do a great job! Food was amazing and the service was great. If you are able to catch a sunset you won't find a better view in anywhere within a 100 miles.

    Moonstone Grill offers a unique blend of standout dishes and a relaxed, beachside vibe. The crab cakes are excellent—albeit on the pricey side—but they deliver a memorable burst of flavor. The pot roast is rich and delicious, perfectly complementing the menu, while the lobster ravioli stands out as an amazing dish that truly impresses. Although the ambiance is a bit rudimentary, its prime location right on the beach adds a charming, relaxed element to the overall dining experience.
