Moonstones - Chelmsford

I had a fantastic evening out with some friends. The cocktails were delightful, and we enjoyed sharing various small plates. Everything was not only delicious but also beautifully presented.

We chose a high-top table at the bar this time. I was a little concerned it might be noisy, but even with a full crowd, we could easily hear each other. The food was excellent, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. However, be careful with those bamboo straws—either handle them gently or just drink straight from the glass!

The food selection is outstanding, and the service was exceptional. We absolutely love this restaurant!

OK it's pricey. But to balance that the food was fantastic. We had a number of tapas that 3 shared. Nothing disappointed. Thumbs up on the gruyere flatbread, mushroom risotto with short rib, dumplings, spring rolls. The falafel was not my fave but not bad. Our server MIchaela was delightful and very helpful. Our drinks were delicious. We will be back for special occasions and when we're in the mood to share plates again.

The food at Moonstones is delicious and artfully presented. And if you can 't drink, they have a delicious selection of mocktails. I 'll be back!
