"We went here for a Mother's Day brunch. The $20 prix-fixe was a great value--you get an appetizer and an entree. They have a varied drink list with some craft beers. We sprung a last-minute addition on them by bringing my 14-month old daughter and they had no problem accommodating her with a chair (probably helped that we ate early). We sat right by the sidewalk doors which were open and the atmosphere was lively without being too noisy and obnoxious. Had to wait a little while for the check, but the experience as a whole was enjoyable."

"We were there for Mother's Day brunch. The food was very good and very reasonably priced for a special event price fixed menu. The crab salad appetizer was particularly delicious and the presentation was impeccable. The service was excellent and what you would expect from a restaurant three times the price. The staff were very attentive to routine service but went above and beyond. We had a 1 year old with us and were brought child's silverware when we sat down, child cups for drinks and one of the staff made a shaker toy out of a plastic cup and cover."

"This place is great for any occasion the food is to die for, the service is amazing and the the drinks menu really good. The deep fried squids was the best I have eaten anywhere. The pork chop was good but a bit big and dry. If you want a good night out in down town Millburn go to Moonshine you won't be disappointed."

"We had a terrific meal. Excellent service. The Sunday night prix fix dinner is a real bargain. The mussels are especially delicious. Excellent mixed drinks from the bar. Our second time there in a month"

"What a treat this restaurant is! Pricey, sure, but never have I experienced such wonderful service partnered with fantastic food. Our party partook of the 5-Course menu, a bargain, as you get to enjoy portions of whatever specials are available. From the app to the soup to the salad to the entrees, I cannot say enough good things about the food. We raved over it. Our waiter was kind, patient, friendly and knowledgeable, and everyone fell all over us making sure we had a wonderful evening. I'd return here in a heartbeat. Absolutely worth the expense. (Oh, and park around the corner in the lot, it's infinitely easier)."

"Waitstaff were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. The dressing on the wedge salad appetizer was lick the plate good and the entrees were very well prepared. The cocktails were excellent and the bartender paid attention to my friend special request as she is very particular about how her favorite drink is prepared. I would definitely dine here again."

"Highly recommend this restaurant. From the moment we stepped in to the moment we left, we had such a nice a positive experience. Everyone's friendly & the food is very good. We had tuna tartar to start, shorts ribs w/mushroom risotto & the duck as our dinners, and a cheeseplate for dessert. Everything was great, def will be back."

"Excellent steaks, and an awesome mushroom risotto. The spinach side was forgettable. In the starters, the crab cake certainly stood out. This is a really nice restaurant. We will be back."

"Although the food and service was good, not great but better than ok, we found the music to much. If you like the thumping club sound, this is the place for you, however if you're looking for a peacefull romantic night out, this is not."

"Recently dined at Moonshine for a second time, and everyone in our group of foodies thought the food/menu had improved (not that it was bad before - just a bit over-ambitious). All four in my party were very impresed with everything ordered. Delicious start to finish. Great service both times."

"The food was great and service excellent. The place was empty on a sunday evening. The atmosphere disappointing. Not unique nor romantic. Probably good for a business meal,brunch or married people."

"I have been to Moonshine many times now- for brunch, lunch, dinner and also to the bar for apps/drinks. They never miss the mark! Food has been consistently outstanding and from what I understand they have a new chef who took the food to another level. Superb! Service is impeccable and the staff is very knowledgable on the menu. My social circle loves this place and we are continued regulars. Great atmosphere to boot!"

"We just dined here for the first time and we're delighted to find this gem so close to home! I had the 5 course chef's tasting menu and it was superb. I also tried the wine pairing with the chef's tasting menu and they were all excellent wines. We will definitely be back! Ask for Jess, she was a terrific server and made our evening quite enjoyable."

"Arrived 15 minutes early for reservation. Waited 30 minutes and had to remind hostess we were waiting. She got abrupt as if waiting that long wasn't a big deal. Maybe we should have reminded her that we were in Millburn, not TriBeCa?
Once a manager was called, he did everything to make the night good - and I thank him for it, but the food was just so-so for the prices."

"This is 3rd time I have been here. Food is fine like ambiance and reasonable distance to papermill. After we went saw should get 20% off as papermill subscriber- surprised waiter did not mention it, knew attending theatre and saw my envelope. Hopefully can benefit from the discount."

"By far this is my new favorite place to go. The food is always on point. I highly recommend the Scallops and Duck dishes. And their new chef has some serious skills, as I witnessed thru his tasting menu. What impresses me most is their Beverage program. Fantastic and significant selection of beer and wines. Their specialty cocktails are awesome! I especially love the Mangarita. The guy who developed it makes his own smoked salt and a smoked syrup. Yet, he pointed out that he developed it so that his staff could quickly make it. My wife loves the Violette's Dream. And the stories they tell in the menu are engaging and hilarious. The decor is tasteful and somewhat funky."

"A little on the more pricey side so it's not for every Friday night. The food exquisite and for a more complex palette or should I saw refined. We really enjoyed our dinner and the service was so prompt."

"Bar room spells like a college. Waited 20mins for our reservation. I was pleased/surprised when waiter told me ‘there were better items on the menu’ than the octopus. It took 3 persons, and 15mins change the keg. Never received offer to order something else? Just odd. Wife ordered the short rib entrée; it came without the short rib. I ordered the whole fish. It was okay..but I thought it was funny when I was asked if “I would like the head and tail removed”. Not an awful question but just thought it could have been phrased better “would I like it filleted”. Anyway…no need to return. Dine at your own risk."

"The place is perfect for avoiding the full ride into NYC! Food is well prepared and served with great attention to detail. The brunch on sunday 1/27/13 was the perfect selection for a pair who avoid the egg options after 10AM. Imagine, great beet salad, chicken payard, great burger and frites with an amazing bottle of Albarino at 2PM with great service at the bar and attention from the staff. Could not ask for anything else; but we did. We are soccer fans and able to watch a great game on request. Going back..."
