I am not a huge fan of places advertising "ceremonial grade matcha" so we avoided the matcha lattes (matcha isn't even graded in this way in Japan, it just feels like clunky Western marketing?) I got the smoked trout and my friends got the avocado toast and a quiche lorraine - all absolutely delish! The bakery case looked super enticing but we were stuffed after brunch. I heard from one of my friends who (Mancos local) that Moondog specializes in French pastries. If I'm ever back to visit, I'll definitely have to give their pastries a try! The person who welcomed us when we first stepped in was super friendly. Otherwise, the servers were a little bit short with us and not the friendliest (we asked for a carafe of water, said thank you so much when it arrived, and the waitress said nothing and simply glared at us).

Apparently, his private conversations are so riveting that there's no need to acknowledge a customer. We're talking for 20 minutes stretches. He has done this on numerous occasions Also, I don't want to hear you telling an employee loud enough for me to hear in the dining room, Don't serve that sh*t. You said sh*t three times. Not appropriate language for your guests to hear as they are eating. Don't know what's going on in your day, but I don't care for the profanity

We walked in and were immediately greeted by one of the bartenders and told to sit wherever we liked. We found a nice booth off to the side of the bar area. Our server Patrick stopped by the booth and pointed us to the food menu in the chalkboard. We also had another server but I didn't catch her name. They were both very friendly and attentive. I ordered the special for the day. A green chili Rueben & fries. Wow, this sandwich was so delicious! What a creative combination of flavors. Even the slaw in the Rueben included the green chilis. The fries were hot and crispy. My husband ordered the spicy BBQ pulled pork tacos. He said the tacos were amazing and the flavors were off the charts. They were topped with a slaw and pickles. The side of "tortilla chips" had a dusting of a very flavorful spice. Not sure what it was but very tasty. Looking over the menu, this restaurant has some very creative dishes. We can't wait to stop by again! My husband ordered
