   Delicious food, great ambiance, wonderful service! We were a group of 9 and had our own private room. I noticed that even the tables of 2-4 people were arranged in a way that is more private and intimate than restaurants typically are. Highly recommend MoCA!

   We’ve been loyal, off-and-on patrons at MOCA for years—mainly because we enjoy the thrill of inconsistency. Who doesn’t love a game of 'Will the Food Be Cold?' or 'How Long Will We Wait This Time?' We decided to roll the dice again last night, and boy, MOCA didn’t disappoint! A single, overwhelmed server ran the entire place (legend!), while the manager explained that they didn’t expect walk-ins because, you know, who randomly decides to eat out? Naturally, our food arrived at that perfect 'room temperature' that really makes you appreciate the excitement of guessing whether it was once hot. And at top dollar, no less! Well, MOCA, thanks for reminding us why we enjoy eating anywhere else. We’ll pass on the next round of your surprise game night.

   Restaurant is beautiful and clean - nice bar area. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Bartender and waiter was very nice - a little forgetful. It wasn’t very crowded so it was a very relaxed/quiet vibe.

   I feel bad giving any restaurant a bad review but we had an unusual experience at MOCA last night We arrived at the restaurant for our reservation at 7::30 and were seated up front n a section of tables for 2 in the front window. An active bar (last night) separate this section from the main part of the restaurant so I think it gets forgotten on busy nights… After 40 minutes no waiter came tongue table- after we had returned to the host desk twice to let different staff members know - We made the decision to leave . The restaurant seemed busy and perhaps they were understaffed?? The staff was very nice but did not seem to have the staff and ability to serve all of the guests . Since there were reservations available at all time slots on OpenTable it’s unprofessional to accept reservations that they are not able to accommodate. The restaurant may have accommodated walk in guests without assessing the reservations they had accepted. They seemed to be a bit clueless that there were guests waiting endlessly because they were overwhelmed with more business than they were equipped to handle . I hope MOCA figures out staffing needs - I had eaten in the same section a month before and ran into the sand problem- It took a very long time and the need to inform the desk after 15-20 minutes that no server had come to the table - When the waitress arrived she was very attentive as was the rest of the servers - and the food was very good that night! Last night we never had the chance to order. We wish them the best and hope to try again with the hope they accept the number of reservations they can serve .

   I have been to MoCA many times and the food is usually on point. This time it was a miss. For starters they were out of the Chateau St. Michelle Reisling. We ordered the shrimp shumai which were only okay. The edamame dumplings came out cold and instead of bringing a new plate the re-heated the original order and they were then chewy and unappealing. The young lady that waited on us called me love, honey etc when I am old enough to be her mother. Just not up to speed this trip and it was disappointing as I brought someone who had never been before.

   I have had the same experience several times. The food is not brought out at the same time and have had to wait for some foods too long. 1 entree was brought out when we were ready to leave. They blamed it on high volume takeout.

    I did my birthday here and it was a great experience. the server was really sweet and went above and beyond for me and my family. They were really accommodating and so nice to us. I would definitely dine here again and again with friends and family! Great place all around! Keep up the great work guys!
