Food was good but extremely pricey. Beautiful views of the Hudson from our table. A little too chilly for outdoor dining but definitely would recommend it.

We had a great time at Half Moon. The service was impeccable. We had a group of 14 and expected to sit at 2 tables of 7. The staff noticed this upon check-in and worked to get our group at one table, this was unexpected and much appreciated.
You can not beat the amazing view or building architecture.
We all enjoyed our cocktails, wine, and food. We will be back.

The food was mediocre and the waiters kept coming to the table inquiring if we're ready to take it to go. I felt as if they're rushing us to leave.

Let me start by saying that my wife and I have been to the Half Moon (“HM”) numerous times since the restaurant’s opening, well over 15 times over the years and always had a rewarding experience. The views are unparalleled and the food and value were always great. But after not visiting the HM for about two years, I noticed a great change, and not in a good sense. Something sinister has happened to the prices, the quantity and the quality of food and experience, they have become inversely proportional – that is, the prices have gone up substantially and the quality and experience have gone down as has the portion size of the dishes. I am not including the view in the experience as that remains exceptional. I must also say, the service was very good and the food servers were very attentive and properly attired, which is more than can be said about the manager. I still believe that the manager of a restaurant in HM’s price range should be properly attired in a suit. It just projects an air of competence and elegance. Not in this case. A recently visit to HM with wife and friends was was a great disappointment. To me, the sign of hospitality in a restaurant, certainly one that is now calling itself Mediterranean, is the bread basket. No bread was forthcoming nor offered, nor were there olives or other starters, that is when I had a foreboding feeling that something was off. To begin with, scanning the menu the first that hit me was the hefty increase in prices. I know the Trump Tariffs are having an upward effect on prices overall and restaurants are included, but is all of the HM’s food stock imported? I hardly think so. The menu has become more Mediterranean, but I doubt all the ingredients are imported from Spain and Italy. I mean, $24 for a Pork Belly Chicharron? Come on, that is just deep-fried pork rinds, what a great margin for the House. The same with a $28 hamburger and $39 for a chicken paillard! I ordered a $26 Mediterranean salad that seemed so promising, consisting of lentil tabouleh, pepper, eggplant, chickpeas and romaine lettuce amongst other Mediterranean delicacies, and expected to be able to share it. What was presented was a “salad” the size of a soup bowl with no romaine and instead dominated by a bunch of sliced cabbage. Really? The kitchen was also not paying attention to details. One of my friends ordered the Seared Rare Tuna, $46 consisting of only four items-the tuna, orange, almond and watercress. Well…the kitchen forgot the watercress. Yes the watercress was promptly delivered after pointing out to the server that the item was missing but it was anything but a busy night, the oversight is inexcusable. Sometimes, if you have nothing good to say, it better not to say anything…but silence speaks volumes. I do not foresee returning to HM anytime soon.

The good service and lovely atmosphere, delightful dishes and great views from anywhere seating outdoors or inside
I went to half moon and found the food to be outrageously over priced and underwhelming. The burger cost 28 dollars...it doesn't even come with cheese at that price. I got the chicken dish which was 2 very thinly pounds chicken breasts, some yogurt and veggie..not even rice if some sort. The scenery is great on a nice day, so my suggestion is to just got for a drink or two, don't eat here unless you just have money to waste.

management needs to train the staff better. It wasn’t busy at 2pm and service was very slow & items were forgotten. I had to look for the staff. Also dropping the check before coffee is served is NOT ok. The prices reflect SERVICE & food. very disappointing.

The food was ok, but the waiter was unfriendly. They added a 20% tip to the bill automatically, which I didn’t agree with since I only wanted to tip 10%. I believe tips should be based on the quality of service, not something clients are responsible for. It’s the employer’s responsibility to pay their staff a fair wage, not the customers’.
