" Moonraker was a fantastic place for a special occasion! We celebrated our anniversary, and the atmosphere was lush with incredible views of the river. The service was prompt and friendly, making the night even more enjoyable. The food was exquisite - I highly recommend the pork belly fried rice and the spicy tuna roll. Portion sizes are a bit small for the price, but the quality makes it worth it. A must-stop if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing time last week with a couple of friends at Moonraker! The drinks were fabulous, and we had a great view of the sunset over the Wharf. The quality of the food was decent; we enjoyed the crispy tuna roll but were disappointed in the size. We left still feeling a bit hungry. Service varied during our visit; we had one attentive server and one who seemed overwhelmed. Would return for drinks, but likely eat beforehand. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a beautiful rooftop venue! Just the perfect setting for our quick gathering. The ambiance was trendy, and the view was beautiful. I expected to be blown away by the food, but it sadly didn’t live up to my expectations. The flavors were good, but the portion sizes were disappointing, especially given the high prices. Service was friendly, but we had to wait longer than expected for our food. Still had a delightful time overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Moonraker was a special experience! The rooftop area provides amazing views that enhance the atmosphere significantly. I enjoyed a selection of cocktails, and while they were delightful, the food portions didn’t impress me. If you're after a light meal and amazing views, this is the place, but don’t expect a hearty meal without budget expectations. I would return just for the drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" The views from Moonraker are simply breathtaking! The ambiance is luxurious, making it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner. We enjoyed a variety of sushi, and while the food was good, it felt a bit overpriced for the portion sizes. Our server was attentive, but it took a while for our drinks to arrive. Overall, a delightful experience but just be prepared for the elevated prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" An elegant place that hit the mark with ambiance but lacked in food quality for the price. The cocktails were stunning and perfect for a night with friends or on date night. The shrimp dumplings were good but, again, small; it seems the focus here is more on the visual appeal than the taste. Service was also a bit slow but friendly. I’d come back for drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem at the Wharf! If you're looking for a stunning view while enjoying delicious bites and fancy cocktails, then Moonraker is the place. We sat outdoors and loved the outdoor ambiance with fire pits. The only downside was that service felt a bit slow. Our food was good, but surprisingly small portions which made it feel overpriced. Overall, highly enjoyable for the setting and drinks! " (*Curated Review*)
