My wife and I went to this place for date night and it did not disappoint. It's a bar, but not loud like most sports bars. It had a very calm atmosphere. The service was impeccable; however the star of the show was the food. We only ordered small plates, but they do have entrees. We started with the chicken skins, Belgium Mussels, and duck wings. The chicken skins were crispy, hot, and well seasoned. They came with a spicy sesame sauce that balanced the fattiness of the skins. The duck wings were our personal favorite. They were plump, juicy, and the sauce was addictive. They were not greasy nor gamey. With every bite the meat came clean off the bone. The mussels were amazing as well. You could drink the broth; it was that good; however, not to offend, I recommend just asking for extra bread. We also had the truffle fries, which were hot, crispy, and not over seasoned. We had the fried shrimp as well. They had good flavor. Again, they were crispy and not greasy. The seasoning was good as well. The brussel sprouts were our least favorite. They were overcooked and really didn't taste like anything. Please see the attached pictures. Overall, I would recommend this place for dates or just going out with friends. Give it a try.

First time visitor with my family, did my research, and it WAS EVERYTHING as advertised. Beautiful place with its on chic-retro vibe, clean, excellent customer service, and THE FOOD was TOP NOTCH-both in quality, taste and presentation, and was not overpriced like some places based on what you “actually get”. I got Dr. Pepper ribs and the Mr. got braised ribs. They were Amazing! It was hard to choose entrees because the entire menu is full of excellent choices; there’s something for EVERYONE-no matter your food preference or diet type. I will visit again.....and again!

What a lovely casual dining experience. Per the website, they’re closing soon, so I’m glad I got to try it out. Came for brunch & had the Donut Sandwich absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet & savory was a pleasant delight. Also tried the Bacon Waffle—the caramelized apples are sweet perfection. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and the portion sizes are generous. Restaurant is a such a gem, hate to see it close.

Enjoyed our first brunch. Great selection of drinks (38 beers), cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. I had the mother and child reunion and my husband had the fajita omelette. He had the milky punch and i had a beer. One of my favorite parts of our experience was that the manager pointed out that my long dress was caught under the chair next to me so that i would not tear my dress when i got up -- such a mark of great customer service. Our waitress was very attentive. Loved the valet parking. Will return.

Beautiful spot with fantastic fresh flavors. Everything we tried was wonderfully tasty. From the sweet rolls to the waffles, it was all presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. We had the cinnamon rolls, waffles, avacado toast with eggs and the homemade cheesecake. They have a wonderful beer selection. I would love to go back and try more. It was delicious. I'm hoping they decide to reopen elsewhere at the end of the month. They are so much better than a lot of places.

We ate here for dinner, they have a different menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can't wait to try their breakfast! We got... Deviled eggs, duck wings, bone marrow, risotto tots, shrimp and grits, ribeye, caramel pumpkin bread pudding, and cheesecake. The only thing I don't recommend is the steak. It was cooked well, but it lacked flavor and for that price I would just get something else. Great service all the way around. Parking is valet, dress was business casual to casual. Great for a date night.

TL;DR: A beer nerd’s dream with food way better than it needed to be, perfect vibes, and staff that felt like friends. RIP, legend. Not much to say... except this place absolutely slapped. Meddlesome Moth had one of the best draft beer selections in the city (basically a hoppy encyclopedia), food that went way beyond “bar food,” and a staff that made you feel like a regular even if it was your first visit. The interior? Sexy without trying. The patio? Cottagecore meets craft beer. Every visit felt like a warm hug with a cold pint. Gone too soon—but never forgotten. Cheers to the memories.

Had dinner here with 14 other people and had a great time. We shared a lot of plates and most of the food was fantastic. They have a great beer selection, with 40 on tap! The service was good. We liked the short rib, sirloin on crispy rice, Brussels sprouts and Dr pepper ribs. All delicious!
