Best

Where do I start? My (then) girlfriend and I started going to My Moon three years ago, we got married...

Worst

We ate there this past summer and were not impressed. It's too bad, we had high hopes for it. The food was okay but sort of bland. A little pricey for Brooklyn. Not worth it. P...

my mymoon experience 3/30/2006

One of my friend told me about this place and I went there few times. Food is delicious, server was friendly and attentive, music is great, cozy atmosphere, I cannot wait to go there spring or summer time, outside garden would be perfect for summer nights. more

Nice place, depsite A LOT of problems... 3/29/2006

LOVE THE DECOR. But such problems every time! Calamari-soggy and undercooked. THey were apologetic, replaced the order for free, only the second one was just as bad! Hummus plate-ok, but they give you 1 piece of bread a person, so you keep flagging down the bread guy! I ordered a vodka soda (simple), the waiter brought tanquery tonic. When I finally got his attention and pointed it out, he quickly returned with...ANOTHER tanquery and tonic. Couldn't believe it! He got my drink order right the 3rd time, 20 minutes later, and took that off the bill. Similar story with dinner orders, although great filet mignon. Belly dancing show was cool. Food hit or miss, but when its good, its great. The staff really needs to get it together, some of the most careless service I've ever experienced. Almost unbelievable. But overall, I do still like this place. Pros: ambiance, filet mignon, friendly Cons: STAFF INCAPABLE, CARELESS SERVICE, MESSY SERVICE more

My Moon was a great on a recent Sunday night! 2/5/2006

We loved it - romantic/industrial, great service and food. I was with someone from Istanbul and we'dgo back this summer for fish/raki on the gorgeous/spacious patio. We shared 3 apps: borek (fried 'cigars' with feta/dill/parsely filling, hot and crunchy outside, smooth warm herb cheese inside, a Turkish staple), the My Moon salad, and we tried the more spanish app of red peppers stuffed with cheese and sausage in a green sauce that we thought was cilantro/mint based. The previous Turkish chef we were told is gone; nowthere is a Spanish chef and so the Turkish desserts and coffee have been replaced by delicious but not Turkish desserts (mousse, crepes, etc.) and by espresso. We ate the lamb shish entree and the grilled shrimp entree and both were both big enough and delicious. The variety of the menu is super but not truly a Turkish menu, more of a Mediterranean vibe. Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance more

Beautiful Space,Outdoor in Summer, Exotic Food 1/13/2006

The best thing about My Moon is definitely the space..the decor..and the vibe. I went there during the summer and we sat outside on the patio...under the flowing tent like set up. It was romantic-with this atmosphere, drinking the white wine sangria. However, the sangria was watery. The food, was very exotic--and good. It was a bit pricey though. The staff was very attentive. Overall it was a great experience. Pros: vibe-decor, attentive staff, exotic food Cons: price more

Belly Dancing at My Moon Wednesday Nights 12/5/2005

There's a new night at My Moon that just started up featuring live Mid-Eastern music with tribal and cabaret belly dancers. Wednesday's from 8pm until late No Cover! They're doing a free bellydance class at 8pm live music by Djinn starts at 8:45. I went last week and there's a lot of open dance time. Tribal belly dance is really new on the east coast and this is the first night to feature it on an ongoing basis. I went last week, there was no cover and the food and drinks were excellent, the place has a really nice vibe and the crowd was great. Not pretentious, just mellow and people wanting to have fun. Most places with belly dance and live music charge a fortune just to walk in so this night will definitely be a regular one for me. Pros: Live Music and Dance, Great Decor more

What else could you wish for? 11/29/2005

Our family (total of 7, ranging in age from 16 to 65) went to My Moon on Sunday night. What a wonderful evening we had. The ambience is terrific with candles everywhere. We ordered various appetizers and entrees. Everything was beautifully presented, delicious and authentic, so much that we felt like we were in Turkey! The Turkish coffee is a must. Service was very fast and attentive. There was no wait to be seated. What else could you wish for? It is a little expensive for Williamsburg but it is fully worth it. Pros: ambiance, parking, promt seating more

Beautiful. Tasty & Utterly Transporting 11/24/2005

My Moon is the best looking joint in Willy-B. The food is perfectly fine Turkish food, which automatically makes it better than most restaurants in town. The mixed mezze platters are decently priced, given the surroundings. The service isn't always speedy, but it's always been friendly to me. The crowd isn't local, but, do you need to dine among small-town coke-heads every night? In fact, My Moon's greatest power may be that to transport diners - out of Williamsburg, out of NYC, to some particularly chic corner of the Sultanahmet district. There's even a view of a Byzantine-style church. If only they could get them to take the cross off of the spire... Pros: Beautiful, Tasty, Transporting more

this restaurant could be so much better! 11/6/2005

It is a great LOOKING place, but this restaurant could be so much better! The food is average at best & it is expensive for what it is. basically the same food as the local kebab place but not as good & 3x the price. We sampled quite a few things. The tarama was good, but the grilled shrimp was so blah! It was like $17. & it had 5 medium sized shrimp that were obviously cooked from frozen, not fresh. You could tell - they had no flavor & had that rubbery textire. They were completely cooked but boring. This place was a big dissapointment & w/ a little work on the menu, the chef, & the ingredients this restaurant could be so much better! Pros: great decor, big, not crowded Cons: overpriced, mediocre food, bad art on the walls more

No Williamsburg Character Food disappointing 10/2/2005

Outdoor dining entising but look at the menu... boring & Turkish? The final course had a hint of Turkish. Ice cold fried potato came with the ok Swordfish Kebabs. The Calamari/Tartare Sauce was boring. Wine was $8 glass. Pricey for Williamsburg quality more like $5. All 4 of us didn't enjoy our meal. The bread was tasteless. They refilled our water classes every 5 mins. comical. Cocktail waitress humorless. Waiter was experienced and enthusiastic almost apologetic. Expensive by Williamsburg standards $17 entrees. The crowd mostly bridge & tunnel. Hopefully not a sampling of the ""New Williamsburg Invasion"". Management and owners seem nice but this project is very ambitious to a fault and unimaginate in menu to match. Damage control should step in quickly because the outdoor set up is great. Recommendation - take that big braiser off the dining room wall and start making some good inspired food. Pros: Outdoor Area, Waiters Cons: Food, Type of Crowd, Prices more

Baffled by the negative reviews... 8/28/2005

My partner and I tried My Moon for the first time last week and were so impressed we went back at the weekend. I cannot understand why so many reviews criticised the food, which I thought was excellent; well above average and containing many of the authentic flavours of Turkish cuisine with a modern spin. The cold appetisers were delicious, especially the stuffed vine leaves, the zucchini pancakes and the wonderfully creamy tarama. The baklava was delightfully syrupy and sweet. Our wait person was friendly and attentive. Were we just lucky or has the place dealt with its teething troubles? Pros: Good food, Great space more

a cool turkish/mideterranian place 8/24/2005

the decor was much better than the food. the drinks weren't anything to rave about. the food was slightly above average, as were the prices. but the decor and space are great, both inside and out. would be good for a big party. Pros: great space, outdoor garden, decor Cons: average food, bad drinks more

Pretty but don't go for dinner 8/24/2005

Meet your date here for drinks before a show or event, or bring your parents here for a drink when they come to the neighborhood, everyone will be impressed and the outdoor tented tables are very romantic. But until the staff is actually trained in how to BE a staff, and the food takes a turn for the above-mediocre, it's difficult to see how they can charge what they do and expect customers to feel blessed to be in the space. The ""jazz trio"" also ruined our night. Tell me, WHO wants to shout over three long haired hippies having an ""improv"" jam session? Otherwise it just feels like a fashion show with one named euros talking about their art -- and it just made me want to go home and shower. Pros: Decor, location, outdoor area Cons: food , service, music more

As a Turk..... 7/22/2005

I have had a lot of Turkish food in my time. When this place opened my brother and I checked it out ASAP and we decided that it is worthwhile food. We have been back a couple of times since. The service isn't that great, Williamsburg is notorious for bad service. The beautiful ambiance (reminds me of Istanbul) and the food make up for that. These reviews say it isn't enough food. My brother and I have never left hungry. Perhaps you have not been ordering the right way and most likely used to eating at TGIF where the portions could feed a starving nation. When eating Turkish food you must order many meze's, there are so many tasty things to eat, the small turkish pizza, the borek, the dolma, the zucchini pancakes these are excellent. For entree I would recommend Doner, and chicken shish is excellent. Pros: ambiance, food is good, the nargarita Cons: poor service more

Great space, but.... 7/20/2005

Great decor, no question, The outside seating and the interior of the restaurant make this a great spot to hang out on summer nights. The food and the service, however, leave a lot to be desired. Service was slow, order was mixed up and the food, once it got there was average at best. It's too bad because if they get a better chef and more competent wait staff this will be a top shelf spot Pros: Decor, Ambiance Cons: Service, Food more

The place was beatiful but I wouldn't recommend eating there the price is way overpriced and such small portions of food, plus what ever was on the menu..they didn't have it the way it was on there would reccomend for drinks only if youre thinking of eating do not go hungry....they definetly need a new chef..... more

3 strikes- never again! 7/16/2005

It potentially seemed to be a great place and the decor was awesome. The furniture is made out of old water tanks, a metaphor for the post-industrial ambiance of the ever-changing neighborhood. It stops there. We felt that we were forced out of our water tank booth. Our food order was mixed up; the service was horrible and unfriendly. The patrons are totally 50-dollar die jobs, mass marketed ironic Ts, on mid-west physiques. The music is like Miami techno (trying too hard). The people that work there are too ugly to be rude. The bartender there is a big skank too. Pros: nice patio, awsome furniture deco, great use of space Cons: bad food, bad service, lame music and people more

Needs a lot of improvement!!! 7/5/2005

Great ambience and friendly staff but utterly incompetent. The appetizers were so-so and the main course...well, I didn't get my main course (Sea Bass). I waited for 45 minutes for my entree to realize that the waiter never put the order in. Due to time constraints, I was forced to finish my girlfriend's entree. I would not recomment this place - they need to get their act together. Pros: Ambience, Decor, Friendly staff Cons: Food, Attentiveness, Service more

User review by india153 6/26/2005

Having read the previous reviews, I think that everyone should give My Moon a chance. Though I definetly agree the portions are not that great, so don't come hungry, but do try the food it's not that bad! The atmosphere and the outside seating really makes up for the cons at this place, but with time it will pick up to be what it is destined to be, considering the location. The owners are very friendly and if you ever want to rent the space, I would definetly recommend it, they are willing to work with you and your needs. more

Nice place, small portions, so-so food. 6/23/2005

I can't agree more with the cshakes review. We had the same exact experience with the shish kebab. Tough meat when we asked for medium, 4 peices of meat and the words ""uncle ben's minute rice"" also came out of our mouth. The prices aren't bad if they served larger portions. Go have a drink there the space is beautiful and buy an appetizer maybe, but pass on dinner, not well cooked and small portions. Staff is ok, will get better. The person at the door was very friendly. Hope reviews like this will turn the place around, since it has wonderful potential. Pros: space, ambience, bar Cons: food, food, food more
