Ok, this place is so fun!!! We had a friend come in town, and on the way home from picking him up at the airport we made reservations to hang at Moonstone. What a treat! They are new, so get the word out, this place is a MUST GO! Walking in, the lighting is fun, and trippy, and the vibes are GOOD! Vinyl was spinning with Pink Floyd and the perfect level where we could talk to each other while still hearing the music! We opted to sit at the bar because we ended up being a little late and close to closing time so we wanted to try to be as respectful as possible. Dylan was our server/bartender and he was helpful, polite, and super fun! We chatted and learned all about the concept and he helped direct us on what to order on the menu. Drinks were delicious, and the food, OMG the food!! It was delicious! I am vegetarian and the fact that so many of their options were accommodating to that left me happy! I also think people that are not will still greatly enjoy the options as they are inventive, unique, but also familiar and comforting! We got the bread service, I got the smoked tomato and mushroom tartare, and the beet carpaccio. I can't tell you how great they were in words adequate enough! My wife is not a vegetarian nor does she like mushrooms tried the tartare and said it was really good! She ordered the beef tips and said they were super yummy! We also got to meet the manager, Steve, and discussed his hospitality career and heard about his concept for the place, the food, and everything. It felt like we were at a private event, or in someone's home! They both were so hospitable and fun to talk with! We had the best time, and even planned on going back the next night or the night after that, but then got busy with other plans so we didn't get to make it back before our friend went back home, but, we will be back for sure! If I could give it more stars I would, this place needs to be known in KC!
