Stopped in with my family between 12:30–1:00 PM, hoping to give this place a try as local Brookliners. The blonde bartender/waitress greeted us by saying she’d “get to us when she could” — not exactly the warmest welcome. We seated ourselves and waited patiently, but she never came over to our table. After sitting there for quite a while with no service at all, we finally got up to leave. As we walked out, she casually said, “Sorry I never got to you.”
Meanwhile, the bar was full of guys drinking and playing slots on a weekday afternoon, and she seemed far more focused on them than on acknowledging new customers. One person trying to run the whole place — but clearly not making the effort to serve everyone fairly.
First and last time we’ll stop here. The owners would do well to hire more staff and ensure that new guests feel valued. She definitely missed out on a generous tip from a family willing to support a local business. Disappointing all around.

We recently had a mercy lunch buffet at the moonlite cafe and it was great . The banquet hall was nice and spacious and the food was really good . I would highly recommend this place for your event needs or just visiting for a drink and a bite to eat .

We had 7 people. Made reservations 2 wks prior. Food was delicious. One person got chicken parm, specifically answered "no" when asked if she wanted noodles. The meal came with noodles under her chicken. Also, there was an issue with their check. Waitress never brought the slip that gets signed from using credit card. She insisted she gave it, didn't understand they needed the part the customer actually signs. Not sure what the issue was but waitress realized she never actually rang it up which is why they didn't get the slip. So those 2, although they did like the food, weren't real happy with the service. Waitress spoke in double time. So fast it was hard to understand what she was saying. Seemed kind of moody so not sure if it was just a bad day for her, or if she's always this way. But the food was delicious!

The food is excellent, great bar food as well as wonderful dinners especially the lemon chicken. It is also great for anniversary parties, birthday parties as well as bereavement luncheons. The banquet area can accommodate around 60 people. The restaurant is Brookline's hidden secret!! Check it out! You won't be disappointed.
