Moonlight Byron Bay

As part of our girls trip, we booked Moonlight quite early and were so looking forward to it. We were sooooooooo disappointed with the dinner. First, the portions - the portions were tiny, we had Hokkaido scallops, and although they are famous for their size, the ones we were served for as tiny as pennies , and tasted not that fresh. Secondly, the salmon crackers were so salty that we drank our sparking water non stop. Thirdly, the wagyu steak was too stringy, we had to spit out the unchewable part. To be honest, best dish of the night was the chips! Finally as we were paying for the bill, they charged us $5 per person for sparkling water!!!!! If you had 10 people it would have costed $50 - just for water. At the end of the meal, we paid $325 for 4 of us but were left half starving. We walked straight to No Bones, and had to ordered 3 mains to satisfy our appetite. And they only charged us $5 in total for 2 bottles of water. All I can say is, I felt like I’ve been scammed because this restaurant does not deserve a 4.7 rating.

Moonlight is our absolute favourite Byron Bay restaurant! Consistently delicious food, friendly, efficient staff and a chic, relaxed vibe! We prefer to sit on the verandah but have also dined inside and at the chef’s counter (watching all the action)! Do yourself a favour! You will not be disappointed!
