Had such a great experience at the Moat! A very intimate and cozy atmosphere. Servers did a top notch job in making sure we were well taken care of. Burrata was quite salty and ocean trout was quite simple. The lemon pasta special and mushroom ravioli are must haves! However overall nailed the pasta and dessert. Will be back soon. ?
We've noticed The Moat while ago passing by but somehow have never visited until a month ago. Now we deeply regret that we haven't ..... Cozy looking outdoor area with heaters was inviting but it was understatement of what we found inside. Picture perfect of warmth and homely feel is what you are going to experience there. Very urban clientele, informal & relaxing atmosphere (can be quite romantic too). Food from the small Menu is well made, with love I can say, and selection of wine is commendable too. Service was so friendly that we cannot really praise them enough. We are going there every Friday night and its highlight of our week. Jana & Boris
Would score this higher if possible. Our night was perfect. The service was outstanding. They work very well as a team, but the stand out was the waitress Inca. She was lovely, professional and very attentive. The food was brilliant and it was great to see staff smiling while working in the kitchen. It felt a good place to work. There is nothing better than watching staff happy at work. It really does add to the atmosphere.
We had dinner here before going to a musical, and I have to say, it started the night off on a high. The waiter we had was very friendly and helpful. Recommending some beautiful dishes and wine. We ordered the Burrata with olive xo & focaccia to start and for our mains, Ravioli of mushroom and Ricotta, and the Tagliatelle Con calamari e gamberi. Absolutely beautiful food. Hats off to the chef.
We had dinner Saturday night celebrating my sister's birthday during our family weekend trip to Melbourne. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing! Make sure you save room for dessert! Thank you to all the staff for your attention to detail, friendly chats and accommodating approach to our requests. It was a joy to dine here! You are fantastic!! We'll be back!
