My husband and I went to moondance grill to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant had ample parking and an option to valet park. The ambience of the restaurant reminds me of Seasons 52 meets Flemings. We had a very short wait before being seated near the kitchen. I like the open kitchen style, and the incredibly quick service. We also had a wonderful waiter, who checked on us frequently, and also brought out a little complementary champagne to commemorate our anniversary. For appetizers, we both shared a spinach dip, which was delicious! For drinks, we had a specialty old-fashioned, which was smoked. It was pretty good, but I will try a sweeter drink next time. My husband had the rotisserie chicken and I had the lamb lollipops. The taste was good overall, but we both added a little more seasoning. The portions of the food were also reasonable for the price. Overall, I was satisfied with the ambience and service. I will be back, but I will probably try something different next time. read more

The food wasn't worth the price. I expected more. The service was great. Overall, a 5 out of 10.

This was my first visit. I've heard a lot about Moondance and was excited when it was suggested for our Galentine's Dinner! We made reservations prior to our visit. When we got there it was still super crowded for a weeknight, so we ended waiting about 20-30 minutes to be seated. When we were finally seated, we had do sit in the bar area (we preferred a booth) at a table top. After being seated, we were quickly attended to. Our sever was so great! We started out with appetizers. We shared spinach dip (also includes salsa) and Abita Barbecued Shrimp (served with homemade Abita beer bread). Both were delicious the bread and and chips were hot and fresh. It's a good size serving and definitely sharable. Next, we enjoyed our meals. I had Salmon sign a side of Brussel sprouts and sweet potato casserole. It was all so good! The ambiance is a vibe! I would've preferred not to be in the bar area because of the music. It was a bit to loud for me. Great food, great service = a great Galentine's! read more

We sat at the bar. There were about 12-15 spots open. We sat down and were told to move because the bar needed to be wiped clean. Okay we moved. Our meal came out before appetizer. My drink and water sat empty for a long period of time. By time I was asked about another we were ready to leave. Maybe would order a to go order but probably not in person. The feeling was of disorganizaction. Lots of people there but not doing one thing. read more

Allison is THAT GWORRRLLLLLL! I meaaaaannnnnn the best waitress yet! She was very attentive and detail oriented! She smiled and chatted with us throughout our dining experience without being toooo pushy! We slow grazed our meals so that we could properly enjoy and digest it and she was super cool with that! Our drinks were bomb... I chose a glass of Ruffino Prosecco and my beau enjoyed a glass of Buffalo Trace on the rocks & the paper plane to finish! Side note: why isss restaurant water SO DAMN GOOD?! We each had a salad (Caesar and house) the prime rib rolls, and a cup of shecrab soup to start, all really good! I will say the prime rib rolls were slightly different than that of the image online! For entrees we had the 16oz ribeye and Brussels and the maple bourbon glazed salmon with garlic mash and green beans! We took a complimentary turtle cheesecake home to enjoy! Overall great experience...definitely ask for Allison! My only gripe is that the restrooms were a bit unkept! read more

I waited a while to visit Moondance grill. Everyone in our group had steaks, which were fine. They were cooked pretty well, maybe a degree or two over what we asked for, but they were fine, and seasoned enough. We were seated in a room to the side where everything looks to be wood. I don't know, I just didn't get an inviting or charming vibe from this restaurant. I think Germantown loves "fancy" and they are probably trying to be a bit dressier and pricier than the neighborhood they're in. It was too expensive for me not to get a "YES!" vibe, so I probably will not return. read more

Service is always excellent food is affordable and it's always a pleasant environment

It's been a while since I've been there, but both times the service was excellent and the food was wonderful and the ambience is very very nice read more

I would give 0 star if I could. I have been here many time but last experience is atrocious. Service is 0. Timing of drinks, appetizers, meal was out of sync. My meal showed up after everyone was done. Wow. Really, this is not rocket science. I will never go back. read more

Ambiance was spot on. We gathered for a team dinner and enjoyed several delicious items. Be advised of the dress code, though. It is displayed outside the restaurant. I ordered the Lemon Caper Chicken Linguine, and it was very flavorful. I also ordered a side of the green beans, and candied Brussels sprouts. The Brussels weren't my favorite, but the green beans were very well seasoned. The highlight would have to be the spinach dip and the lemon drop martini with Woodford. Overall, cannot complain, it was a wonderful meal and ambiance. read more

Always a great time here. It's definitely worth it. Never had anything bad here. The lamb was amazing! read more

Ok, got to this spot about 1p on a Fri. First noticed the Dress Code which made me laugh, but I agree 1000%. Christina was at the bar and she's definitely the Bar Queen . Knows the local area, menu beginning to end and pours really good drinks. Actually poured my Bomba Sapphire, Tonic, and lime EXACTLY to instructions. Summary: The bar is in good hands!! read more

My mom and I visited on a Friday for lunch after hearing so many people talk about how great the food was. We were seated quickly, not many patrons in the restaurant, and given the dinner menu. I asked for the lunch menu, since that is the menu we viewed and decided on, I asked if it was too late to order lunch and was told it was fine to order from the lunch menu. The waitress brought back the lunch menu (shift change so we had a change from our waitress to a waiter), my mom ordered the cheeseburger with steak fries and I ordered the seafood poboy with shoestring fries. Mom was not impressed with the burger and said it was "just ok" and was presented warm. The seafood poboy was inedible, the 1or 2 pieces of shrimp were very tough and cold, the oyster(yes 1)was also cold and tough as well. The fries were good tho! I asked to send the plate back and to order a cheeseburger instead. My burger came out piping hot, my mom even noticed the steam coming from it, unlike hers. She was facing the kitchen and noticed the staff in the kitchen had changed and my burger was fixed by someone else. The burger was satisfying and cooked medium well, even though I asked for it to be cooked medium. I did not send it back and was satisfied with the replacement. We also ordered the She Crab soup and both agreed, this was the best part of the meal. I cant say that I would go out of my way to visit again, but if I am nearby I many stop for the She Crab soup. The bathrooms were clean, our waiter was nice and accommodating, management did not come around after I asked for a replacement, that was fine. The poboy was taken off the receipt and no issues with exchanging the meal, so all was well. If you are in the area, check this place out for yourself. read more

Friends told us to try Moondance so we came for our anniversary. We had a good time but I'm not sure we would make a special effort to go again. It is a very popular place, as the wait time was an hour-Friday night. We avoided the wait by sitting at the bar. The staff was all extremely friendly. We shared appetizers. BBQ Shrimp and Ahi Tuna Stack. The tuna was delicious. But the shrimp was over cooked. read more

Never had a bad experience. I love their lobster rolls and wish they would put the crab cakes back on the menu! Soooo good though, every single time read more

Finally got a chance to check this place out. WOW! This restaurant is located in a shopping center that really seems out of place in Memphis. No shade at all to Memphis, it's my hometown and I love it. So I'm happy to see this area of Germantown, it's a welcomed change! They offer valet parking in this shopping center, however, I decided to park in the open air lot. I believe it was 2 hours free or something like that. Since I had reservations, I was seated immediately. The place is gorgeous. I loved the oak wood and leather décor with low lighting in the evening. It's a perfect place for a date or just a hang out night with friends (which is what I was there for). I ended up ordering their winter cocktail, Partridge in a Pear Tree, and asked for it to be placed in a martini glass instead of the short glass. It was Absolut pear vodka, sparking wine, and lemon juice with a sprig of rosemary on top. Doesn't that sound like a martini? Anyway it was very tasty but slightly sour due to the lemon juice. It inspired me to order a lemon drop martini, which was mixed to perfection! For dinner, I had the maple bourbon glazed salmon with sautéed spinach and garlic mashed potatoes. I also added a house salad for a starter. The house salad was soooo good. They use a tomato dressing on it which kind of reminded me of the ginger dressing that comes on the salads at hibachi restaurants. The salmon was moist with a slight crispness to it, lovely. The potatoes were creamy and thick, whipped very nicely. The sauteed spinach was tasty as well. My friends all ordered the creamed spinach and two of them complained about a lack of flavor. We didn't save room for dessert, but I'm sure it's just as good. Now this meal was pricey with the tip, I paid around $80. BUT, it was worth it because the service was excellent (I think our server was Ceara, sorry if I misspelled this but she was fantastic and so friendly), the restaurant was clean, restrooms clean, ample parking, and a very nice bar that had TVs for your viewing pleasure. I will be back for sure! read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. The food is good however the behavior of the staff is unacceptable. I ordered over the phone and came in to pick up the order. I paid for it and received a receipt. While I waited I stepped outside for business. When I returned to the inside my order was boxed,bagged, ready. I was asked by a girl emptying the trash if she could help me. I asked if the bag was for me and gave her my name. She said yes but there was a note stating that payment was required. I told her that I had already paid and I have a receipt. She snarled "We gon' check!". I said "Well while you're checking I have my receipt and I handed it to her. She told me that it was protocol. I handed her my receipt! The only reason she did that was because I am black. I have been there several times before and have witnessed them hand over orders to white customers without any issues. This was unacceptable to the fullest. To add insult to injury the salmon was burned to a black crisp!!!!! I had to throw it away! I recommend this place daily and I am truly disappointed. This was the worst meal I've ever purchased from Moondance Grill! I couldn't eat it!!!!! read more

I just don't get it. Let's back up... I first experienced moondance 3 years ago. Why haven't I been back in so long? Well I bit into my burger only to find a STRAW WRAPPER inside my burger. Yes a plastic straw wrapper. I of course let my server know, and they didn't even comp my burger. I thought that was poor (plus the second burger was mediocre) so I didn't let anyone drag me back. Until last night. So plenty of jokes were made on the way. How moondance was out to get me, lol. I pull up to find no parking available, and the chauffeur service had not started yet. So I make a circle, and find a spot across the street from the restaurant. I pull into the spot and as I step out, see a young man stroll behind me and place a cone directly behind my car. He says, " I use the "lane" for valet. Now keep in mind we parked BETWEEN two parked cars. So there was no lane. It was just a spot he wanted that was close instead of having to do his job. So I ask, " what lane? What about the cars on either side?" To which he replies " well I can't do anything about people who are already parked." I take a quick glance at my car doors all closed. Hmm He tells us "well I can valet you if you want" ie: I pay for parking? It's not worth the fight so we (after moving his cone) drive around to the parking garage. I am alredy angry as I walk in with my wife in her third trimester. So whatever kids are dumb and it won't ruin my night. Somehow after all this we still make it at exactly 6:15 for our reservation. We waited for 27 mins which is a long time to stand (they have one bench for *atheistics" After finally being seated, it's your run of the mill experience. I crack a joke about the straw wrapper to my server like "hardy har har but also giving a chance to redemption" So I order a burger and fries... full send. We waited a normal amount of time for food. All is well. My wife gets her salad and I have my burger and fries but brought by what I can only describe as a Ninja (not our server) whom dropped the food before I could blink. But man I would really love some ketchup with this burger and fries. No I'm not the kind of guy to whistle down a waiter, so I wait for that typical interaction by the server "hey how is everything?" That always happens a few mins in. Well after 23 whole mins, I finally walked to the servers station and asked another server for some pepper and ketchup. Basics. So our server finally shows up after 35 mins and says "no straw wrapper huh?" No just an overcooked burger in a sub par establishment. Trust me there are far better dining options in this price range. read more

The ambiance for a quick bite on a Tuesday afternoon was awesome.....live music...not too loud...just right. The Shecrab bisque was awesome as was the strawberry salad. Was in G Town for business having traveled all day from SoCal, it was a nice finish to the day. The menu was perfectly diverse and the drink menu pretty extensive... definitely coming back. read more

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Germantown. Food is always exquisite and delivers. My favorite is the maple-glazed salmon. Their got cheese flatbread is also out of this world! Great service. Relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for dinner on a Friday night. read more

Moondance Grill deserves 5 stars for Service, Food and Ambiance! We had a Bridesmaids luncheon there today and they exceeded our expectations in every regard! I want to give a special shout out to our servers - who were incredibly gracious! read more

Food was great, Service started off great. I dont know if it is because I bought thing to the attention to server & manager. It seems like everyone in the restaurant came and took stuff off our table. I saw a table that was finishes & no one took anything off there table. I even saw there Server go buy them, and a couple of minutes later he came back and asked if they was done & took there plates. It's nice to have stuff cleared from the table. But you not getting things i need or ask for. But you want to take a plate , etc. off the table every time you walk by. But I tell the manager I asked for my burger well done and he said nothing to that. Offered me a dessert, which I told him I'm not trying to get anything. I just like to tell the good & the bad. I only tell bad if i feel it is bas in my opinion. So the manager telling me she missed the mark. We'll he missed the mark too, on my burger not being done. August 8, 2025 after 1:00 pm read more

Had an awesome meal with out of town relatives during the holidays. Our server, Christian, was fantastic, attentive, and informative about menu items and suggestions.

Overall a great experience and we certainty will continue coming back. read more

I am so glad I stumbled this place! Apparently, I also just got really lucky on my timing around 6 and was able to find a spot within a few minutes at the bar. The restaurant eventually was full, both the bar and the main seating, on a Monday. Food is really good! I tried the pan seared sea bass which was perfectly seared. The sauce on the plate complimented the spinach really well. I also ordered a side of veggies which weren't too oily as some places can be. The white chocolate creme brûlée is awesome. It's unique ( to me to find white chocolate) and was worth going away from my norm. Service - couldn't ask for better! Definite go here if you can. Make a reservation, it'll make your life easier. I might actually be back before I leave town, that's how much I enjoyed the meal and service. read more

Would have been five stars, but everything was very, very slow. When you arrive, know that the restaurant is inside a residential/retail complex. You can drive up the hill and park where there is a retail area or park in the garage. Keep in mind, they have valet (they did the night I went, at least). The staff is very professional and pleasant. The tuna appetizer is so good, I heard the onomatopoeia "mmm" a lot! The she crab soup is watery and not as good as the Itta Bena restaurant downtown, but it's not bad. The salad wedge with blue cheese dressing delicious. You can really taste the maple in the Maple Bourbon Glazed Salmon. I feel like the ingredients they use are really clean. It digested so well. The restaurant is known for its smoked bourbon. They have a glass box where they put your bourbon drink and smoke. They carry it to your table and when you open the box, the smoke floats through the restaurant. It's a theatrical and cool sight to see. I do not recommend the Mutiny. It tastes like chemicals. My only challenge was it took roughly 20 minutes per course, so we got dessert to-go. I must say that the key lime pie was SOOOO GOOOD, I forgot to take a photo. We are going back for sure! read more

Very nice upscale restaurant. The food and service was top tier. I tried the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The drinks were made well with top shelf liquor. I will definitely be going back for a date night in the future. read more

The food we ordered was all well prepared, fresh briney, oysters. Shrimp in a rich, garlicky, brown dipping gravy. Moist, roasted, pulled short rib tacos. Moondance is a strong 4 star, but on our evening, 6 of us ordered the Chilean sea bass. Servings available = 0. We lost our mojo for food and ended up ordering some veggie sides (asparagus, mushrooms, grilled vegetables) drinking some good cabs. We'll try again our next trip! read more

This was my 2nd time visiting Moondance and I'm sooooooooo happy I didn't count this place out. In my opinion, I thought my experience for lunch the 1st time was fair. This time around I had a full dining experience. From the moment I walked in customer service was great! My party and I were immediately seated. Our waitress was superb. She was knowledgeable of the menu, honest, attentive, and swift with tending to our table. My table ordered appetizers, specialty drinks, and entrees. Everything was spectacular. I had a chance to sample each dish which included the chicken pasta, glazed salmon, and lamb chops. *Not pictured, the spinach dip (appetizer) Moondance is definitely a gem that's absolutely perfect for any occasion. read more

March 20 was first time visiting Moondance Grill. We met a friend at the bar and ordered drinks and an appetizer.

Very disappointed as an establishment of this quality should be welcoming and engaging. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with a friend and we had a decent time. We were able to RSVP a table and was seated promptly when we arrived. The customer service was slightly lacking as we had to track down people to take our order, bring knives, etc. I ordered the Old Dominick Frozé Rosé and while it was flavorful I could barely taste the alcohol. For my second drink, I ordered off the menu and got a Cosmopolitan. For my food, I ordered the Lamb Lollipops (they come medium) with a side of Green Beans and Sautéed Mushrooms. Overall, the meal was good but it seem as if the Lamb was cooked Medium Rare as it was a little chewy to be Medium. We celebrated at the end with a Chocolate Cake! I would come back to try out other items on the menu as this experience was good. read more

A party of 2 with reservations booked. We were seated upon arrival promptly. The host was professional and kind. If service and ambiance were the only rating this would be 5 stars! Our waiter was Mary she knew the menu, she asked questions for clarity regarding our order, she gave her personal taste, guest trendy ordering as well as the chefs recommendations. She was friendly, outspoken, confident in her selections as well as cooking recommendations. Not pictured due to the I ordered Charbroiled Oysters without the "cheese" this was probably the 1st mistake. For my palate shredded cheese on oysters that aren't Rockefeller takes the authentic taste away. Well I guess this cooking preparation request confused the chef so they were sent out without "Charbroiled" as well as without garlic or butter. Absolutely no taste. We also ordered the PrimeRib rolls which are actually Sliders not sure if we were confused or just didn't read the menu but were 2 drinks down the Malbec wine was delicious by the way! The waiter Mary apology for the plain under cooked oysters and brought dessert of choice on the house. Dinner arrived hot, plated per the pictures excellent but lacked seasoning. When patronizing a trendy restaurant it sorta disrespectful to "NEED"salt or pepper. You always hope the chef utilizes fresh herbs with simple sea salt and cracked pepper plus squeeze a lemon....you're all set to intensify your palate with a burse of flavors. Not the case here but not horrible just mediocre. The carrot cake arrived very plain, dry and tasted sorta old....like freezer burn. I'm given this location 3 stars because the mash potatoes were real, the service from Mary was EXCELLENT, very clean, quite, and romantic date night.

I've been here several times and always had a good experience at the bar, but we made spur of the moment plans to go here for an anniversary dinner and were blown away. We were seated in Maddie's section and she made sure that we had the best evening. Our drinks were on point, the food was great, and even though we had no reservations, we ended up with a cute "Happy Anniversary" card with a sweet note inside and a couple of glasses of champagne. I've always enjoyed this restaurant but last night they took a step up in my book. read more
