    Great meal overall. I had the scallops and elk strip steak. My wife had a salad and the fish special. We then shared the brownie for dessert. Every dish was well prepared and had a lot of interesting flavors and combination of ingredients. One may argue that things were a little too complex, but it worked. My biggest complaint was the size of the elk strip steak; it was two relatively small slices, which was even smaller given the price. I also thought the brownie dessert was overpriced - both for what it was and relative to the other desserts on the menu. But I won't let either of those detract too much from what was otherwise a great experience.

    We dined at Blue Moon last night and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our server, Judy, was so helpful and guided us to great choices from cocktails to wine, then entree and desserts. We both enjoyed the grouper which was prepared to perfection. We will definitely be enjoying this perfect gem of a restaurant again.

    Cannot thank you enough for your high praise! We agree Judy is a fantastic addition to the team. Our fish feature is often my favorite as well. Cheers! Lara Johnson General Manager
