NYC New Restaurant Openings: October 2024 - Eater NY

"Hell’s Kitchen: Open since 2005, Cuban fun spot Guantanamera known for its live music and late-night operations, now has a sibling called Moonlight, from owner Mario Zarate, manager Evelina Klopocka, and chef Marcos Bidart, W42ndSt.NYC reports. Look for updates of classic dishes at the new location, with items like tuna tartare, crackling shrimp, and jambalaya paella. No word yet on whether it will have similar late-night hours." - Emma Orlow

I’ve had the pleasure of dining Moonlight twice — once for dinner and once for brunch—and both visits were fantastic! For brunch, we tried the Fried Chicken & Waffles and the Braised Short Rib Benny—both were delicious. The chicken was crispy and perfectly seasoned, pairing beautifully with the waffles, while the short rib Benny was rich and flavorful, with tender meat and a perfectly poached egg. For dinner, we went with the Steak Volcano and Crackling Shrimps. The steak was cooked to perfection, and the presentation was impressive. The Crackling Shrimps had the perfect balance of crunch and flavor, making them a must-try. The service here is excellent, and Jose in particular stood out—friendly, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience both times. Whether you’re here for brunch or dinner, you’re in for a treat. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend!! The menu is diverse and they highlight several delicious vegan dishes. The service is exceptional, everyone is very polite and accommodating. We got the miso salmon, vegan bolognese, and the smash burger. When we come back, I’m definitely getting the salmon again and will try one of their desserts. It might be pricier than neighboring restaurants, but the portion make it worth it.

My friend and I came for early dinner after a matinee show. food was delicious and seasoned well - ordered the crackling shrimps, mussels with mashed potato fries, basque cheesecake service - wait staff very attentive and friendly. Atmosphere - relaxing and comfortable Highly recommended and will definitely visit again 😉

The staff was so sweet and friendly. They sat our surprise party of 8 right away and didn’t seem like they felt inconvenienced by it at all. The food on the menu was a fun unique spin on common American dishes (Wasabi mashed potatoes). The drinks were great! For the price they thankfully were actual high quality craft cocktails. They seemed unbothered (and maybe even amused) by some loud friends in our group lol Me and my friend left our bags there and we ran back and they had all our stuff ready for us safe and sound. Highly recommend! Please go! It seemed it really wasn’t as busy as it should be.

Gorgeous paella with generous portion of seafood. Best and ever roasted octopus. I do like the harissa, which tastes sweet and refreshing. Jose and his colleagues served us. They are quite professional and gentle. Strongly recommend, this new American restaurant has both great food and elegant servers.

We wandered in here on a random Saturday morning. This place is pretty new so I hadn’t tried it. The place gives off vintage Miami vibes. We were greeted immediately and enthusiastically. After being seated, Caesar came over and explained the menu. We had a brunch burger. It was a great smash burger. Mildly Crispy patties (the meat blend is short rib, Chuck and brisket- a personal fave of mine), a brioche bun and delicious sauce. The burger came with home style fries, a salad, 2 wings and 2 Eggs. We split it and it was a feast. We will be back to try the dessert. The poached pear is right up my alley

Very nice addition to our block. Food, service, ambiance - all was great when we visited. Interesting takes on the recipes, gentle tastes that come together nicely without overwhelming. It could look a little pricey, but portions are generous and definitely well made, so I'd say well worth it. If you're prone to drafts - ask for a table in the back, farther from the front door. Haven't tried their cocktails yet, soon.

The staff and vibe was great. The low rating is for the food and drinks. The food was cold, the shrimp breading was chewy/hard, the drinks lacked depth of flavor. Overall the flavor and presentation was nice but the execution was lacking.

I stopped in here for a happy hour cocktail and some fries. The restaurant atmosphere was upscale and the staff was friendly. My drink and fries were very nice.

Waitstaff and host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Top notch service and surprisingly upscale food for HK without the downtown price. Beautiful decor classy and bright. Can't wait for my next visit!
