    Food was ok, but the prices were outrageous! Two tiny little crab cakes for $33, that’s pathetic! $18 dollars for a salad that is just lettuce and some Parmesan, horrible!

    We loved Moonstone, except we were seated us across from the staff service area. Very unsitely to look at for half our group and noisy as they worked. At the very least a pull down screen to block the view is needed. The staff was great and professional. They food was excellent. The view to the ocean gorgeous.

    The scenery was beautiful, however the food was less than appealing. Clam chowder tasted like it was from a can. The meal my partner had was ok, but my entree lacked flavor and smelt fishy….the waitress was accommodating, but we still paid a ridiculous price for a single entree and a glass of wine. I wouldn’t come back if we visited again.

    The view is amazing, of course. And the meal was excellent. One of the top restaurants in Humboldt County.

    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.
