TASTEFUL TUESDAYS

“Pull up a chair. Take a taste. Come join us. Life is so endlessly delicious.”

Ruth Reichl

At the Brooklyn Moon restaurant, pulling up a chair and taking a taste will definitely make life so endlessly delicious!!  Located on Fulton St in the urban area of Clinton Hills Brooklyn sits this hotspot that is perfect for early morning brunches or even late night wining and dining.

Their menu is described as Southern, New American, Caribbean with mouth watering picks to choose from.  We reccommend, as we've desired , the Lobster Pancake which is grilled tilapia over a garlic mashed potato pancake stuffed with lobster and mixed vegetables.  Their Salmon and "Brooklyn" Crab Cakes are cooked to perfection and we can never forget their southern driven sides which includes creamy Mac & Cheese, Sweet Corn, Spicy Fries, Candied Yams, Curry Potato, Collard Greens and much more.  For all the salad eaters enjoy a Grilled Salmon Ceasar, Cajun soft shell Crab, or Grilled Shrimp as a twist to the ever so ending chicken ceasar which is topped with avocado, grilled tomato and plantain with parmesan cheese.       

We couldnt have a successful Saturday night out without having a drink or two!!  Having asked whats the best served the winner is "The Hater"!!!
