Drifting into the upscale orbit of crafted cocktails at Moon was a stellar experience.
The place does offer a short list of food selections, but feel as of now, their specialty is themed named cocktails.
Fairly new and located off Post Oak on the second floor, the bar is a hidden gem.
Reservations were made to ensure seating and availability.
Upon arriving the concierge checks if you have a reservation and takes you on the elevator to the 2nd floor.
Once there, the glossy emerald doors welcome you in to an elegant and upscale space.

The waitress and bartender stopped in to greet us.
And they were friendly, attentive and made sure we had water the whole time we were there.
Food: 3/5
We had the Wagyu Cheeseburger Sliders - gruyere cheese, tomato, lettuce, brioche bun (and what seemed like a butter pickle) serviced with a handful of fries.
For the cost of two sliders ($25) but of course since it's wagyu, you're paying for that. But it lacked flavor, the butter pickle made it taste odd.
Wasn't a fan of it and cost was steep. Didn't try any of the other foods, but they have a handful selection of bites.
Drinks: 5/5
Milky Way - (the top favorite) Rum, Ube Coconut Rum float, Mango, Vietnamese curry. This was a smooth and flavorful cocktail. Would've stuck to it, but wanted to give other cocktails a try.
Lunar Quarter - Gin, Campari, Cocchi Americano rosa, white chocolate astronaut. This had a nice presentation with the pour and astronaut laying on the cube made it feel playful. Think of it as a Negroni, had a bite to it.
Cosmos - vodka, cranberry, grapefruit and coconut water sphere. Cosmo with a show, it was good, solid if you want a good cosmo.
Espresso Martini - I got to sample this one from a friend and really enjoyed that it was smooth and had all the right flavors in 3 ingredients.
Ambiance: 5/5
The place has an opulent and very upscale feel to it. Even with it being elegant, it feels cozy and welcoming because the staff help make it inviting.
Dress code is business casual though I did see some people in casual clothes.
I will return to try some additional drinks and maybe some food. I read a review where it indicated they got a welcome bite, not sure how that works, but we didn't get anything upon arrival.
Still Moon is a nice elegant spot for solo, date or friends hangout.
