About Moëca

Moëca offers a seafood-forward menu with a variety of small plates and pastas. Standout dishes include the tuna nduja, raw oysters, and udon pasta. The crudo selection is a highlight, featuring impossibly fresh ingredients that are delicately dressed. Recent guests have praised the crispy oyster as golden and crunchy on the outside, while being silky and briny inside. The warm seafood mains, including bluefish and chanterelle gnocchi, are delicious and allow the ingredients to shine. The service is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, making every guest feel genuinely taken care of. One server was noted for being kind and knowledgeable, enhancing the dining experience. The desserts, like the Pistachio Macaron gelato sandwich and vanilla yogurt, are surprising and delightful. While some dishes, such as the lobster pasta and chickpea pancake, may be hit or miss, the overall flavors are delicious, and the experience is enjoyable. The atmosphere is welcoming, softly lit, and stylish without pretense, although some minor cleanliness issues have been noted. The wine list is extensive, globally minded, and approachable. Overall, Moëca is a great spot to try different dishes and enjoy great cocktails, making it ideal for special occasions or casual dining with friends. It is highly recommended for those seeking high-quality seafood.
