Reviews for Moonstone Grill in Trinidad, CA
Lobster Fettuccine and Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake were both phenomenal, plus the view from the table was fantastic. Friendly... staff and relaxed experience. Highly recommend! Read more
Very nice atmosphere, probably has great views when it isn't overcast and gloomy since it's overlooking a beach. Limited menu... which is primarily seafood. I'm not a seafood person so I had to choose between a few high-dollar streaks or a Caesar salad. Mybuddy had the halibut for dinner and he said it was very good, it looked good to me and I don't even like fish. Service wasvery good and the atmosphere was pleasant. I probably would not return because of the differences in my taste and the menu,however, if you do like seafood you'd probably want to have dinner here at least once. Read more
Outstanding all the way around: cocktails/wine (featuring great local options), food (fresh seafood and fresh made pasta),... service, and ambiance. One of our local favorites! Read more
One of the most beautiful places Ive eaten dinner in my life but the experience left a bit to be desired. Took us a while to be... seated, then took us even longer to be served. Must have waited 30 minutes to get a waiter and another 45 to get our food. Wealso ordered a dessert which was forgotten and we had to remind the waitress about it. The appetizer was not really burstingwith flavor and the fish and chips I had were very bland for a $35 dish. Clam chowder was ok but had another down the road thatblew the doors off this at a much more affordable price. Read more
It had an amazing view. The menu was good and varied as well. The dishes were tasty, and the staff was nice. However, all that... said, we felt it was overpriced. The restaurant has 5 star prices with 3 star fare. I feel like it was good food, but it wasn't5 star food. Our bill was over $700 for seven people, and we did not order alcohol. The abalone dish was $105, but came with twoabalone and angel hair pasta and brussel sprouts. We also had Alaskan Halibut, Lobster Tail, Cioppone, Halbit and Chips, andButternut Squash. For appetizers we had the cheese board, oysters, wontons, crabcakes. For dessert we ordered cheesecake, cremebrulee, brandies cherries, and chocolate cake. The brandied cherries dessert was brandied cherries atop 2 big scoops of vanillaice cream. We were only served two cherries though??? We mentioned this and it was suggested that next time we visit that we askfor extra cherries (instead of offering to fix it and bring some more??). On the way to the restroom, we noticed most tableshad a bread basket. We hadn't received one, so asked for one to be sent to the table, but it never was delivered. Again, theview and staff was amazing, but overall we left underwhelmed. Read more
Superb food, friendly and attentive service (thank you Chloe for answering all my questions; thanks Eric for your genuine warmth... and attentiveness, and cool music playlist), gorgeous views (from inside window table). Def recommend and would return! PS. Heatlamps would fit on the outside deck between tables?that would help. Read more
Great place right by the beach. Crab cakes were so good! Scallops were good but the rice was strangely undercooked. Great cut of... new York strip .... But it was cooked to well done when we asked for medium. They made us another one but had to wait. Thewaitress was super nice though and got the problem fixed asap. Clam chowder was also very good!

Tasteful meal, and efficient service. Everyone was very happy with dinner. The music was chill and down tempo. Nice place to... catch a dinner,especially if you hit sunset hour. Read more
