The Moonstone: Reviews & Ratings
Taylor was our bartender and she was so nice and accommodating. Giving creative drink ideas and willing to create whatever ideas we had! I love trying new drinks so this was amazing. I ended up with a Pina Colada and it was one of the best I have had. String and delicious 12/10!
Great place to go to relax and enjoy the views. We had drinks. They had a hummus plate, but it isn't available anymore. Not much for vegans.
I really enjoyed The Moonstone restaurant! I chose this place only because I'd been staying in The Graduate and it was super convenient to simply go upstairs on the elevator. That was a wise choice! I had the Birria Burger and the Tres Leches desert. It was all pretty rich but absolutely delicious. The servers were friendly and very attentive. The view is something that everyone should check out. I suppose that I should taken some pictures of my meal. But, I gobbled that down pretty quickly. So, please enjoy the pictures of the view.
Cozy rooftop eatery. Bar with local spirits - whiskey, mezcal, & tequila. Nice views of Tucson and mountains. The staff was great and attentive. Food is seasonal; changes, and tasty. You'll need to park elsewhere... there are a few spots near and a garage a block or so, away.
Recently visited this place for a friends birthday. Highly recommend the elote cheesy bread. It’s so flavorful and delicious. They also have a great drink menu if you’re looking for a good happy hour spot. There’s an awesome patio with fire pits that overlooks Tucson. The staff are all so friendly and gave us free shots when they found out it was my friend’s birthday. I’ll definitely be back to visit the next time I’m in Tucson.
Great vibes and views!! The Mock-tails were delicious, and our server was so nice!! Food was really fresh too!
Great service and great view. FYI the ceviche has a serious spicy kick to it. Not annotated on the menu. Aside that, everyone in my groups said their food was great, so still recommended.
