About Meet the Moon
Meet the Moon is the neighborhood restaurant that reads like a friend's kitchen — a small, plant-forward menu that leans Mediterranean, a wine list built for weeknights, and a room that fills with regulars before 7 pm. Come for the grain bowls and roasted vegetables; stay for the way the whole staff seems to know each other.
Highlights
What makes it special
- Plant-forward Mediterranean menu that changes with the season
- Short, thoughtful wine list built for weeknight prices
- Neighborhood room where regulars turn into friends
What you'll experience
The visit, in detail
The menu is short on purpose — a handful of small plates, a rotating grain bowl, and a couple of proteins done well. Order the beet salad, the seasonal flatbread, and whatever the roasted-vegetable plate is that week, then let the sommelier pour a Loire white or an Oregon pinot to match.
Best time
When to visit
Weeknight dinners 5:30–7 pm are the calmest; weekends fill up fast.
