So, my wife and I went to Blue Moon Waterfront Cafe last night. Overall, a very good experience. The food was good, our server, Stephanie was fun and helpful, BUT, it was starting to rain so we moved to the bar (the bar had like 5 people max at it). When we moved to the bar, the bartender, Ashley, asked if we were moving from another spot. When we said yes, she said we would need to get what we needed from our server. Cool, we had already ordered and we would order the next round of drinks from her. After our food came, my wife asked the bartender for a napkin, and she gave it to her, but said, I told you that you would need to get anything you needed from your server . My wife, not really believing what she had heard, said, even a napkin? Ashley says "yes, I'm not making any money off you". I don't think I've ever heard anyone in the service industry be so rude. We talked to the manager and she suggested a review. read more

Food was wonderful. Service at the bar by Renée et al was superb. Enjoyable experience by the water.

This is one of my favorite places in Nashville! Waterfront is always a winner in my book!Casual fun atmosphere. Service is always good. We love Alicia she was very attentive and fun. The food is delicious and there is something for everyone even if you have food allergies. They have added some new menu items this year,the white cheddar grits are amazing! And definitely check out the Port O' Call cocktail it's delicious and boozy lol. Thank me later! read more

It's very easy to like the Blue Moon restaurant. It's off the beaten path, but the food, view, service, and atmosphere are worth the extra effort. Who doesn't like a nice meal on the water, whether it's Sunday brunch or watching the sunset. Setting and dress is very casual. The Calamari is our go to appetizer. The Mahi dishes are always favorites, along with the burgers and fish tacos. Bushwackers are adult chocolate milkshakes - they are awesome, but very filling! Might want to split with someone, but definitely give them a try. Right beside the river is the best spot, but there is additional indoor dining if you prefer. Children, by the way, love to watch the turtles. If you haven't tried Blue Moon, you need to. read more

Waitress spilled two full drinks of sangria all over me and my shoes. Thankfully I was able to wipe the leather mostly clean after lots of scrubbing under the table. She said she was sorry and nothing else was said. No management came over. No compensation was taking off the check. They literally didn't even clean up the floor. They just made us step in it the whole night. I've had entire tables covered before just for a waitress spilling a water on someone. The least this place could have done was clean the floor. Ridiculous service here. read more

Wow! Talk about an incredible waterfront restaurant. As a Nashville resident, it's easy to get used to waiting and overcrowding, but you can let that all go at Blue Moon. I visited Blue Moon at peak dinner time on a Friday evening and had the absolute best experience. There were several large parties that showed up just before my boyfriend and I, but the restaurant staff worked hard to get everyone seated very quickly. I was very impressed with how speedy the service was. Food was quick, drinks were great, the view was amazing and the ducks were too cute! Our waiter was kind and on top of his game. The manager was working hard to keep everything clean and presentable and I noticed her helping to clean tables and prep for the next group frequently. She even made rounds to ensure everyone was enjoying their visit. We had the poke appetizer, blackened mahi mahi tacos, and pick two dinner (blackened salmon and coconut shrimp). As well as the Summer Lick and In the Shayd drinks. The food was so fresh and absolutely delicious, prepared to perfection! And the drinks were amazing and refreshing. This experience was truly one of the best I've had since moving here and for a bit I felt like I wasn't even in Nashville but a waterfront oasis. I will 110% be back! read more

Had a lovely dinner on the patio at Blue Moon. My wife and I split a nice bottle of wine and chipotle peach glazed wings to starter and both were fabulous. I had the blackened mahi sandwich and she had the house salad add salmon. Both were very good. Our server was delightful, informative and very good. What can I say beautiful views great food and service read more

Tucked away on the west side of Nashville. Enjoyable outdoor dining right on the water. Went for Sunday brunch and enjoyed our meal. I ordered biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were a little overdone and tough to break apart at times. Gravy was flavorful and potato's were great! My partner ordered eggs Benedict. Overall decent, poached eggs were not runny. Service was good and attentive! Truly enjoy the spot for good service and environment. Great spot to get drinks and sit outdoors. read more

My son and I love this little place. It's our fav secret spot. Sitting out by the water, you almost forget you're in Nashville. The atmosphere feels like you're dining on the river. Plenty of menu options. I adore the hush puppies. Super flavorful and crunchy. The remoulade sets them off. Service has always been wonderful. read more

What a fabulous way to end the day great views dockside at Blue Moon ! We had a very good meal great Service from Megan and beautiful views. We started with the Tuna poke appetizer very fresh and very tasty! I had the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife had the blackened Mahi Sandwich both very good as well! A bottle wine and the sunset you can't go wrong! We will return as i am sure it will only get better as the season goes as they have just reopened for the summer. read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. The vibe is a laid back and casual waterfront spot. The location is built into the docks. Service was on the slower side, but staff were friendly. The food itself is average, it was likely frozen fish used in the tacos because it was rather bland, but the salsa they added on top saves it a little bit. I would come back because it's local, and the drinks there are strong. They offer a full bar and a variety of fun tiki drinks. TL;DR - Average food, strong drinks, laid back environment. read more

Honestly a cool vibe and good drinks but the food took over an hour to come out and bugs were all over us probably wouldn't go back read more

Came here on a whim after looking for a place nearby. It was cool outside so sat out under the sails. Plenty of seating outside and in. Staff was very nice and attentive. Got the kahlua and cream French toast with a side of eggs. French toast was delicious and would definitely recommend. The scrambled eggs on the other hand were not good. I don't know if they were made from powdered eggs or were just old, but they were rubbery and had no flavor. I'll stick to the French toast next time. read more

I got the blackened Mahi Mahi and the remoulade sauce on the bed of yellow rice was fresh and delicious! The 3 Cheese Mac n Cheese was also superb! The best part is the amazing view you get of the water while you're eating. The staff members are also very attentive. read more

I loved it here! The service was great, food was yummy, and the water was beautiful. There's not a lot of places like this in Nashville so it was a great summer evening. read more

Love this little hidden gem. Beautiful restaurant by the river with nautical theme and eats. Food is not bad but you go for the ambiance. Feels like a little piece of Florida in the Nations. I will say I always bring bug spray if I plan to sit on the patio, the mosquitos can get a little out of control. Great spot for date night! read more

Service and Atmosphere 10/10. Everyone was great and I enjoyed sitting outside by the water. The reason I'm giving Blue Moon 3 stars is because the food is just average for the prices. We got the calamari - they were okay. Not the best/not the worst. The sweet potato fries were a little salty and the burger was meh, average. I got the fajita bowl with mahi mahi which was pretty good - pricey, but good. Overall, the vibes are spot on. Perfect summer spot to sit by the water. However, just know the food is not stellar. read more

This is the perfect spot when the weather is nice. Go sit on their large patio, watch the sun set and drink a bushwacker. You can watch as ducks fly over, boats come in for the night and watch planes taking off or landing nearby at John C Tune Airport. It's very peaceful here. Families and date nights alike- this is a good spot for you. If you're looking for a healthy menu, they do have a few options, but we did not try those. The Goods: - free parking in the large lot at the marina - service was excellent. Our server was very attentive. - food was freshly made to order but came out extremely fast - food was really tasty! - Bushwacker (icy chocolatey boozy drink) for the win Here's what we ordered: - Fried cheese curds - we got them "plain" which means they weren't dipped in buffalo sauce. A side of ranch and also marinara are provided and let me tell you- this dish was a delight. So good! - Mahi Mahi Tacos- yum! This dish comes with 2 tacos (you can add a third for $6) and some delicious sauce made with ranch. Also a side that's mixed with black beans & yellow rice. All very good. - French Fries - so crispy with a hint of seasoning and a lot of salt. Just how I like them! - Fried Coconut Shrimp - didn't love that sauce they come with but the shrimp were SO GOOD! The Not So Goods: - You do have to take a ramp from the parking lot to get to the restaurant. I'm not handicap, but I would imagine this ramp might be a little difficult for someone who is. - They don't allow pets on the patio so keep your furry friends at home. I'd love to bring my dog but this isn't a reason to keep me away. - take a jacket or sweatshirt if you sit by the water. It can get chilly. Love that this place is within walking distance in my neighborhood. We will be back! read more

I really wanted to like Blue Moon Waterfront Grille because the location is beautiful and the vibe seemed promising. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the setting. The food came out cold, which was really disappointing, especially given the prices. Service was also lacking--slow, inattentive read more

Found this suggestion in a Facebook group but didn't really do much research on the place. It just sounded nice and the menu looked good. This place is on the water, but you're surrounded by boats and yachts, so it's not much of a view. The water actually looked quite dirty and gross. We were also (unpleasantly) surprised to find out that this place is completely outdoors, with a roof covering part of the dining area. This was our fault for not researching, but nevertheless it was unfortunate as we had already been outside all day in the 96 degree heat with awful humidity; we desperately wanted some relief in air conditioning. We also went at a time where the sun was like an hour from setting and the sun was brutal, shining straight into our eyes. We were using the menu to fan ourselves and trying to sit in whatever position would allow us to see. Since we were outside, the bugs were also a factor. Flies EVERYWHERE. We spent the entire time swatting flies away. On top of that, we had a wasp harassing us and a large spider was coming down to our table from a long web on the wall. I understand this all comes with sitting at an outdoor restaurant, but it was still unfortunate. All staff were attentive and friendly. I felt so badly for our waitress. She was literally dripping in sweat and was apologizing profusely for it. She literally had drops of sweat hanging off her nose, chin, etc. We were slightly disturbed cuz she was carrying our food/drinks and dripping sweat- hopefully nothing dripped into our stuff. Poor lady. She was very sweet. We ordered cheese curds as an appetizer, honey chicken and shrimp with rice and sweet potato fries, the fried chicken sandwich with fries, a side of Mac and cheese, and a chicken wrap. The food came out very quickly, hot and fresh. The cheese curds were delicious and came with ranch and marinara for dipping. The chicken sandwich and fries were good. The Mac and cheese was basic. My boyfriend enjoyed his chicken, shrimp, and rice. We had both regular fries and sweet potato fries and both were yummy, nice and crispy. We paid $81 before tip for our food. We actually asked for to-go boxes early on because we couldn't take the heat and bugs anymore. The food was good but probably wouldn't visit again unless the weather is more comfortable. People were ordering cocktails that looked tasty but we didn't order any alcoholic beverages as we knew it would just make us feel more hot. I imagine it's a very enjoyable experience when the heat and humidity aren't as bad. We left hot, red-faced, and dripping in sweat. read more

I go here often and it's such a peaceful experience. The view is beautiful of the water and boats. The food is delicious and the people that work there, from food, service, to the one behind the bar are the BEST...One of my favorite places to eat, drink, and hang out. read more

Ambiance and service was fine... Sadly, the food and beverages has gone totally downhill! I would not recommend ordering a mixed drink. Stick with beer or wine. Key lime pie had zero taste. Our oyster-poboys had six small, over cooked, chewy oysters. The sauce was tangy and bitter.... Our appetizer, calamari, had no taste either... it's like everything was thawed straight out of a freezer. Quickly cooked and served. Needless to say, we were very disappointed. read more

Located at Rock Harbor Marina, the Blue Moon Waterfront Grille is a great spot to get some seafood, sit riverside to the Cumberland and enjoy some nice cocktails on the water. We came for apps and cocktails, so the calamari and shrimp were a must-try. The calamari was fresh and large enough to share. The coconut shrimp was delicious and comes with 5 hand breaded jumbo shrimp. We tried the tropical moon cocktail served with light rum, coconut rum, blue curacao, sweet and sour and pineapple juice. We ended the night with the bushwhacker, which is a great desert drink for after the meal (tasted like an alcoholic chocolate milkshake). Pricing is on the higher end, but the ambiance and staff made it worth while. Our waitress was great, she was very helpful and made the experience very enjoyable. We are hoping to become regulars at Blue Moon this summer! read more

I like this place. The bar is a bit noisy, but that might not be a problem for others. It was very busy when we went. They provided a wait time of 45 minutes, which was accurate. I appreciate that. Food was very good - we kept it simple, with burgers and fried fish. It was well prepared and arrived quickly. Beer was cold and tasty. Our server was welcoming and friendly. There were good views of the lake. Recommended! read more
