"Initial impression was not sure as the table booked was not set up as they had a large 21 Birthday party, but they set up for us and we had excellent service. The food was really worthwhile. The Tappas was delicious really enjoyed the livers and zucchini chips. Pasta portions were big, only managed to eat half. A bit of a hidden gem."

The staff were 5 star and the place was packed to the rafters adding to the social atmosphere and the special night as a whole. Eager to get back here! The outside area really adds to the whole set up! I had a word with the managers Marco and Kyle who were extremely warm and inviting. Cheers again Moe’s!"
