Reviews for MOCO Downtown in Fredericton, NB
If I could get this restaurant six stars I would. Danielle, our server, Wise outstanding. She had enthusiasm and a great... knowledge of the menu and he guided us in our choices. We shared everything with no room for dessert! The calamari as a starterwas fabulous, we had A very delicate beet salad, and then the most outstanding menu item was the chef special, a pasta with duckand a cream sauce. Unbelievable! I wish we lived closer to this restaurant, as opposed to having driven eight hours here fromBoston! We will recommend this to friends and hope that this review helps others select MOCO. The atmosphere is beautiful witha very upbeat buzz. Read more

I ordered Sicilian calamari to start and beef tenderloin medium while I actaully wanted rare. Their side dish menu is very... limited. I cannot have dairy so I mentioned to the server that I wanted the parm mash potatoe but I'll get fries because I can'thave cheese. Other side orders seem to have cheese. This place looks like a niche fine dining place but it has family owneddiner or a pub vibe with inexperienced servers. Before I get to the main course I wanna mention the calamari. The calamari wasvery salty and soggy but it wasnt horrible so I ate it. The server completely forgot about my mother in law's appetizers orderand they brought the bread with olive about 20 minutes after they served us appetizers. Later came the server saying they don'thave the wine we ordered so got a different bottle of wine. Anyway, we eventually received the food but they mixed up my beeftenderloin with my father in law's well done tenderloin. Luckily we were able switch the meet and the beef was actually cookedthe way I really wanted, rare. It is crazy tho to bring a rare beef tenderloin to a person who ordered it medium well. My frieshad parmesan grated on top even though I specifically mentioned that I cant have cheese. I did eat it all and it was deliciousbut i really shouldn't have. Then for dessert, as a dairy free person my only option was sorbet but they were out of sorbet so Iwasn't able to have desert. In summary, I'm not impressed. Just happy I'm not poisoned at this point but wait, the fries camewith parmesan grated on top so... Read more
My server, Sarah, was absolutely fabulous. My dinner was exquisite..The Garlic Parm Bites were to die for as they melt in your... mouth. The Beet Salad was just the perfect combination of sweet and savoury due to the goat cheese and citrus. My dinner entreeof vegetarian Gnocchi Gorgonzola was rich and decadent. The best part was a drink that Sarah created and named called "Can YouFeel the Cran Tonight?" that contained a splash of cranberry juice with Gin and some rosemary. How refreshing! Check out thisplace our if you feel like Italian. The ambiance of this place is great for celebrations, dates, and/or families. I am so gladfor the discovery! My server and the food were so wonderful that I went back the next day. Pictures included! Read more
Decided to go here for my birthday with a couple friends. Had the calamari as an appetizer, it was light enough where you could... eat them by itself while having extra room for a main dish. They were lightly breaded and crispy and not oily at all, like someplaces are. One of the best restaurants for calamari around town. The Sambuca Scampi was amazing, the sauce delightful, thickyet creamy at the same time. I’d honestly eat that as a meal on its own. For my main I tried the Gnocci Gorgonzola withgrilled chicken breast. Personally, I’d say it has an acquired taste as it was my first time. It was good but for a meal, itwouldn’t be my first preference. Read more
Loved the food and service. Brie artichoke dip and fish cakes to start, mushroom ravioli and salmon for mains, and the... chocolate/peanut butter/fudge cheesecake to finish, no one was disappointed. Read more
