My wife and I enjoyed our sunset dinner on the Moonrakers patio perch, watching the sailboats set sail for their tours. My wood-roasted vegetables and flourless chocolate cake were delicious. My wife's catch of the day was a bit strong on the Mediterranean spices, but very tasty. Our server, Liz, was very attentive and helpful throughout our special evening.

IMHO this is the most overrated restaurant in Beaufort. The view from the rooftop bar is great, but that's the best thing about Moonrakers. The kitchen is very small and despite the fact they have a lot of seating, they'll only seat a limited number of patrons because the kitchen cannot keep up. The food is expensive and the quality is mediocre. You'll get a much better dining experience and meal at Beaufort Grocery Co.

Food and service were both stellar. A large wine selection to pick from. One note of feedback only: the hostess’ attitude was off putting and set a bad tone for the beginning of the meal. It seemed disorganized at the front with seating and everyone looked upset. But, the tone of the evening changed once seated.
