Inventive, Mediterranean-leaning seafood with standout crudo and creative pastas, excellent cocktails, high prices, small portions, and occasional seasoning or pacing missteps.
Moëca delivers competitive quality with exceptional seafood execution—mackerel, crudi, and tuna nduja earn consistent praise—paired with polished, knowledgeable service and attractive room design. However, inconsistent seasoning and occasional execution lapses prevent grade A territory, while small portions relative to price temper the overall value proposition. A solid neighborhood destination for seafood enthusiasts willing to order strategically.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($38-65 mains) and portions can feel modest
