I had been to Grapefruit Moon a few times over the last 2 years and was always disappointed. Every time I gave this place another try, I left discouraged because the food was really boring and under seasoned. Despite the friendly atmosphere, the food was always mediocre and tasteless.
A few weeks ago, a friend in the food industry heard the Moon was getting an overhaul with new management and a new chef. Rumour has it the chef worked for Susur Lee for many years, so we were definitely going to give this place another try.
We took a big chance and went for brunch on Thanksgiving Monday. Just our luck because they were launching their new menu that day. Well, we were not disappointed with the food. It was simple, comforting,and tasty! I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and my friends ordered the flat iron steak and eggs, and the Southern Italian style poached eggs. All three dishes were delicious. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The tomato sauce served with the poached eggs was really tasty. The fried chicken was crispy with a nice light batter, and the waffle was nice and light as well.
Service on the other hand was disappointing :( Apparently they were short staffed that day, which was really unfortunate. I hope they get their front of the house in order because the food was really good. Other patrons in the restaurant were as equally excited with the new menu. Yay! Grapefruit Moon. It's about time!!!! This place was in desperate need of an overhaul.
