    What a fantastic meal! Casual yet attentive/knowledgable service, and knockout food. Highlights were the Hen Of The Woods Mushrooms and the Swordfish Schnitzel.

    Service was quite slow. The girl was very pleasant, however, I had to ask somebody to come over and bring us water after sitting for close to 10 minutes. And then it took another 15 minutes to get a drink. Once underway, everything was good.

    Every time we have gone to Moeca, we have had a wonderful meal. The food is fresh, creative, and wonderful. And the service is also very good. The serving staff seem happy to be there and happy to help us and that adds to the overall good vibe in the restaurant. It is one of our favorites!

    Every menu item we tried was delicious. We were impressed that, as a seafood focused restaurant, there were many vegetable, meat and pasta options. The cocktails and wine selections were also very interesting. To top it off, our service was excellent. Our waiter was perfect, unfortunately forget his name. He was knowledgeable, attentive and friendly/sociable. Overall service was seamless, bringing items to the table, clearing items, manager stopping at the table. We will definitely be back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Moeca to anyone.

    Extraordinarily inventive menu, outstanding service, great decor, and noise level that reaches its just-tolerable peak at prime dining hours. This will likely be one of the most expensive dinners in your Boston/Cambridge rotation, but well worth it.
