Such a lively atmosphere with excellent service. The restaurant is spacious with beautiful decor and seating. There's valet parking, however, the restaurant is located next to other stores with a large parking lot. For dinner, I ordered the branzino with roasted vegetables. This was cooked to perfection. I really loved the branzino's flakiness. The roasted potatoes were delicious. My friend ordered the wasabi tuna. She said it was so crispy and cooked to her liking. We shared the broccolini side. This had a powerful spicy kick! There's a lot of cocktails to choose from. I went with the "Class Act" which was a spritz with St. Germain. For dessert, my friend and I ordered a pistachio martini, tiramisu martini, and Dubai chocolate bar. We saw that they have a special Birkin bag cake dessert. Looked super cute! Overall, a fun dining experience.

The waitress was an absolute sweetheart but because I was flying high she was making me paranoid, like I was thinking girl do you know me from some where? But then I ate the garlic bread, and maybe this is the edible speaking, but it was the best garlic bread I ever had. My husband and I both ordered steak frites, and I thought briefly that my husband and I had formed a psychic connection and were ascending together. It was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Overall I think I had a spiritual experience here. Anyway 10/10 will go back sober.

Brunch Review... We…read morewere a small group of 5 last weekend. I made reservations a week ahead at 11:00. Honestly if you come before 12:00 that's probably not necessary. For drinks, she had a Mimosa Flight and I chose the Hazelnut Wake-Me-Up. That had double espresso vodka, espresso, milk, maple syrup & whipped cream. Yum. :) A little strong and good. Our meals were Pork Roll Benny for her and I chose their Short Rib Hash with 2 sunny side eggs. We enjoyed them both. Our server Angela did a great job on a busy Sunday morning. Gotta mention that Half Moon is pretty big inside. Location is on the second floor. Parking is available across the street in a lot and just remember to pre pay. No dessert this time and our cost was $40 each with a tip. As always... Enjoy

I saw some mixed reviews for Teak before we went, and after reading through quite a few of them, my…read morebest guess was that most of the complaints were tied to a nightclub-type vibe on a possible rooftop bar rather than the restaurant itself. We showed up hoping to snag bar seats, but it was busy and honestly a little warm for my liking. I know, I know, after the winter we've had, I have absolutely no right to complain. Either way, we ended up in an outside room with all the windows open to the patio and it was genuinely perfect. Our server Julie was fantastic. Attentive in all the right ways, including the kind of attentive where she noticed us glancing around and came over to check on us. We weren't actually looking for anything; we were just scoping out the space. Still, I appreciated the hustle. My partner ordered a gin martini, extra dirty; I went with a prosecco. Both came out cold and fast. We ordered edamame, lotus buns, the pear and crispy goat cheese salad, and the aburi roll. The edamame were solid. Nice pop of lime, though I could have used a heavier hand with the salt. The lotus buns were a revelation. Two pillowy bao buns, each stuffed with a generous slab of slow roasted pork belly glazed in hoisin, with a pickled cucumber tucked in alongside it. I'd never had anything quite like them, and the balance was what got me: the brine and snap of the pickle cutting right through the sweetness of that glaze. Really well thought out. The aburi roll was tasty; nothing jumped out as the star moment, but everything played nicely together and it went down easy. And then there was the salad. Oh, the salad. I could eat that salad every single day of the week. Crispy fried goat cheese medallions on a salad is basically a guaranteed order for me, so that's what reeled me in initially. But once I actually started eating it, I forgot all about the goat cheese. Mixed greens, thin pear slices, halved grapes, spiced pecan halves, all dressed in a honey mustard vinaigrette that was genuinely outstanding. I've already started thinking about how to recreate it at home, which is the highest compliment I can give a salad. Teak delivered across the board. Don't let the rooftop reviews scare you off from the restaurant itself.

I am beginning to doubt whether it was really dry aged. I asked for medium well and the steak came out burned and raw on the inside. The meat was actually tough and full of gristle . I was thinking I would get a nice treat as I rarely order steak outside of my own cooking, but I'm going to stick to my own cooking in the future. I did not even bother taking this garbage home to make steak and eggs tomorrow. I am disgusted The service stunk also. Slow and inattentive and we wound up sitting 30 minutes at a clip for no reason

We ordered the Pasta Al Forno as an appetizer & Chicken Scarpariello for the main dish. Was quoted 35-40 min when I called it in, arrived ~30 min, paid & food came out near the 40 min quote. The pasta - for us the cheese on top was perhaps over toasted as it was on the dry side. Flavor was fine otherwise. Not sure I'd order this for a main dish without added protein though. The Chicken Scarp - excellent. The chicken & potatoes were very tender. The mild sausage makes this dish come together, it adds a level of savoriness to complement the balsamic sweetness in the sauce. I also like the long angled slices of sausage nicely seared on each side, it was not expected vs other versions that I've had. Meal also came with bread to soak up that chicken sauce. Also noting the place seemed packed, only 2 spots on their lot were open plus it sounded busy inside. Will try it next time onsite with one of my many fine bottles of wine. :)
