    Breakfast Country Scramble Breakfast
    Amy A.

    I hadn't been there since they moved out of the old location where the soda fountain was. Lots of great brunch options. Vegan options too if that's your thing. the servings are very generous! We were greeted promptly and seated by the window, that overlooked eighth Street. A couple of things to note is they do not validate for parking and parking in the garage is pretty much the only option. I think it was an exception, but after our waiter took our order we did not see him again. My omelette came out almost cold. We had to ask someone for boxes and our check . Hopefully this is not the norm. The prices are on the higher side but it is downtown. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for breakfast locations.

    Mexi Beni Breakfast
    Jennifer C.

    This bustling place never disappoints with their service and meals! The staff is always super friendly and the restaurant is always clean. It's a little loud but enjoyable. I always order the mexi beni. Benedict's are my favorite brunch dish and this place by far has THE BEST from here to Cali. I've had so many Benedict's from soooo many places and this one takes the cake! Also the beignets are a must try!! They are always hot and fresh!

    I will for sure be thinking about this meal for the longest time. 10/10 going to one I visit when I come to visit from now on.

    Garden Veggie Omelet Breakfast
    Nicki P.

    I came here for lunch during a work trip. We were promptly seated when we arrived. The menu selection has something for everyone. I selected a healthier meal - egg white veggie omelette with no cheese. It's nice they made healthy accommodations to fit my dietary needs. The ambiance is nice and warm inside and staff is friendly!

    It's been months since my husband and I have been to Moon's. We were downtown for doctors appointments so it was only right to have a meal here. It has felt like forever since we have had one of their beignets. It was a great day to have one. We noticed that they updated their menu and we were excited to try something new. My husband got the Loaded B and G. It was right up his alley! Biscuits and gravy loaded with onions, green peppers, green onions, cheese and bacon. My husband did omit the veggies but what he got looked so good! I got the Country Scramble. Scrambled eggs, sausage, ham, cheese, veggies, country gravy smothered all over potatoes. Both plates were massive! My country scramble was so good! I swear country gravy on anything is so tasty. The potatoes were soft and savory. Plenty of eggs, meats and cheese on top. I only finished a third of my plate. It's enough to share! My husband's biscuits were smothered and covered. The biscuits were soft and paired perfectly with the gravy. We ended up taking half a biscuit home and I look forward to tearing it up tomorrow for breakfast. Moon's has and will always be one of the best local joints to have breakfast at. The staff is always so nice. The food is legit. You can't go wrong having a meal here. I look forward to coming back sooner than later.

    This place exceeded all expectations. The food was delicious, the staff were amazing. My friend ordered the Irish Bennie and he ate the whole plate. I had the pancakes with the blueberry compote. I was also able to get a side of lemon curd for the pancakes. It was a beautiful match. I recommend. The beignets were ok. They aren't as good as going to New Orleans, but they are mid tier. I recommend the pancakes and lemon curd on the side. One bad thing about the restaurant, is that the music is so loud. Other than that, loved the restaurant. Lots of windows, great food, great portions.

    Moon's Kitchen is hands-down one of the best breakfast spots around! The portions are huge (definitely come hungry). Everything we ordered tasted amazing, super fresh, and full of flavor. The the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the whole vibe of the place is cozy and friendly. Great service, great food, and great value. Can't wait to go back for another big breakfast at Moon's Kitchen

    Root cellar omelet
    Kitara S.

    Root cellar omelet and 8th & Main iced coffee were to die for, the entire staff is so welcoming and team oriented! I don't brunch often but I'd wake up extra early for this. THEY MAKE THEIR JAM IN HOUSE???? It's SO delicious, one of the waitresses gave me 2 little go cups without me even asking, I can't wait

    Beignets
    Ayse T.

    Love love love Moon's! It's not a trip to Moon's if you haven't gotten the beignets. With the honey butter is divine! I usually get the hobo Benedict and it never disappoints. Always great. We ventured into trying the country scramble and it impressed me with how delicious it was. Get it with the red potatoes. The staff is always sweet and energetic. Never had bad service. And always funny signs to read in the restaurant. Always great to come here.

    I will always come back here! So good and recommend it x10000. Great service and good. Love the music and ambiance.

    This place was one of the top rated breakfast spots in Boise so we decided to try it out. You may miss it because it is inside a mall type of building. As soon as I got on the 2nd floor where it is located, I saw many ppl waiting around. I assumed they were waiting for a table. Once we checked in with the host, she let us know it was a 20 minute wait. It was not bad so we waited. Once inside we were greeted by our server who was honestly one of the top servers ever. She took our orders and once our food arrived, she continued to check up on us all throughout. There were other people walking around with coffee refills too. Unfortunately I got too excited for my pancakes and did not take a picture but it was soo good! I actually got too full off from one pancake and took the 2nd home. The place was great honestly. Would definitely come back for breakfast when in town!

    The entrance is across from this building and signage.

    The most interesting thing about eating at Moon's is actually just finding the darn place. While it's address is on Main its main entrance equipped with escalators to the second floor are located off of the pedestrian plaza without a street number address to be found anywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with, considering how hard it was to find, that it was as busy as it was and with predominantly a younger crowd. Something about the decor really clicked with me and Becca who attended to my table was especially pleasant and very attentive. Another funny thing was the pollished concrete floor and how it interacted with the ball type castors on the bottom of the chairs. This combination made it especially easy for my chair to move around and glide away from the table when I applied any kind of pressure against the table. Kind of had to wedge my feet to the floor to keep me in place. Would you otherwise notice this; I doubt it. But I'm off that way. Fun place, good food, music not too loud....yes I would return, especially since I know how to find it now.

    Great NEW downtown location, much more seating and easier parking via the parking deck. Fresh squeezed orange juice and of course the beignets are great too!

When you walk in, you will order from one of the friendly servers, who will give you a number for your order. Then, you can pick a spot around the room to sit.

We chose the egg, bacon, avocado sandwich, and an egg scramble to share. The sandwich was insanely good. The bacon is super crispy. The egg was perfectly cooked. The bun was buttery, toasted, and the avocados were real and mushy. It was such a thick sandwich. Getting it all in your mouth was tricky, but each perfect bite was phenomenal. We also got the simple scramble, which was scrambled eggs, pepper, and avocado on the side. The scrambled eggs reminded me of my mom because they were light and fluffy. I also got there with hippie chai to drink with our food. The habit guy had cold brew in it, and it was lovely.

If you have gift cards you can use them at St. Lawrence Gridiron or Rustica, two other Boise downtown restaurants with the same owners. From the letter on door: "As many know, there has been a significant slowdown in consumer spending, especially in restaurants starting late 2024. We've done our very best to keep prices in line with what makes sense to cover costs and provide full benefits for our amazing staff," the letter said. "However, with sales down across all entities this year, we must re-evaluate our operations and make the necessary difficult decisions to be a sustainable business. Also, for the first time in many years, we recently lost two key people in our organization, and they both were a large part of what made Wild Root special. Last, we are heading into the slower, winter months. Instead of scrambling to keep the doors open, we are going to shut it down to evaluate everything."

So it was delightful when The Sturiale Place reopened last month (May 2018) as warm and wonderful as ever for ambiance in the lovingly restored old house, hospitality, service and food. With a revised and bit expanded menu and a new young Chef in the kitchen, formerly Executive Chef at a Portland area McMenamins, this was a unique little gem before and the changes have polished it even brighter. Our first lunch after re-opening was as delightful as the others we enjoyed here last year (see my previous review for details). This time we enjoyed being able to try new menu items like green salad with Delicata squash and herbed goat cheese (half order $7.50), house made pappardelle with braised lamb Bolognese ($18) and mushroom Marsala on polenta ($13). As a great new surprise on the wine menu, manager Gina Sturiale (daughter of Rita) has added a really good white and red wine by the glass, like the nice Negroamaro my husband enjoyed, for as little as $5! The menu spans options from soup through appetizers and starter or main course sized salads through entrees to desserts. Prices range from $6 to $18. Total inside seating is limited to maybe 16 and maybe about that many on an outside deck. So this is not a place for big groups. It is likely not a kids' destination either.

I ordered the 6oz Holy Guacamole and a smoothie (as did my husband), but was rushed through the line even though there was no one behind my party. I could also barely hear the girl working the line due to all the kitchen noise (pans slamming, grill going, blenders going) and asked her to repeat herself, but she just capped my bowl and sent it straight to the register. I then realized she first asked about the toppings, so I wasn't able to order any. The entire team seemed rushed to be closing considering all the kitchen and dining area clean up chaos - even though they close at 7pm and there were still other patrons walking in as we were paying. It was about $44 without tip. All in all, it was an okay experience but don't think I'll be back. The seasonings were good but a bit too salty. The chicken was cooked well but the shrimp tasted like it was just recently defrosted. The service wasn't great - we obviously walked in looking lost and then weren't directed on where to go or how the order flow works. Clearly, they were all in a rush to close and it left a sour note for me.
