My Moon (at Williamburg)

Have you ever walked into a restaurant/bar/lounge and felt completely out of place; when you stare at high ceilings, exotic light fixtures and a glowing bar, and wonder where the heck the interior designer got their inspiration from?

I’m still not sure as to what kind of food My Moon serves – I tried these “Crab Cigar Rolls” which were, quite possibly, the best appetizers I’ve had in several months, followed by something called “Manti” which were tiny dumplings stuffed with lamb, sitting in a pool of rich herb-infused cream… omg it was good. Their calamari is nowhere near as good as the ones I get at L’Express, but with a Kronenberg… it wasn’t half bad. The drinks will burn a hole through your wallet (like the dishes) and the waistaff seemed out of touch with what they were doing.

I basically spent most of the evening fascinated by the artwork that surrounded the tiny room with ridiculously high ceilings – there was a work of art hanging at the center of main floor – it looked like an aboriginal piece that landed on the set of the Fifth Element then handed down to the makeup artists of Alien V. Predator (it’s well worth seeing).

There’s a fabulous garden at the front that would be perfect for a late dinner/drink… the seating areas outside are sectioned off, so you can even have a little bit of privacy, should you really want it.

Think lots of red, velvet, accent lighting, and candles… it’s a very romantic venue – no wonder Amelia opted to start her wedding “reception” there!
