Editorial Review for Full Moon – by Amber Keinan

The Scene
Located on North Cambridge's main commercial drag, Full Moon was undoubtedly conceived with families in mind. Kids are so welcome, you're apt to feel like an intruder if you show up without tots in tow. At what other restaurant--except maybe McDonald's--can you find a playpen and dollhouse, a play kitchen and an abundance of toys? There's an elaborate kids' menu, and each entree is less than $5 and comes with fruit and veggies for a balanced meal.

The Food
Too often, dining comfortably with kids means having to resort to mediocre food. Not only is the food here good, but the ingredients are also fresh and the dishes are made to order. Grilled monkfish with an Asian-influenced soy-wasabi sauce or the house's special pizza satisfy adult diners; the mac and cheese has kids raving.

Insider Tips

When to Go

On many nights, the dining room can resemble a slightly more civilized romper room. Diners looking for a quiet meal shouldn't come before bedtime (around 8pm).

The Extras

The restaurant doesn't discriminate against the just-born set; toddlers are welcome, and parents are encouraged to bring canned baby food.

As a family with two toddlers living in the neighborhood, we tried this place a few times. In all of them, the service was clumsy and rushed, even rude at the last time, which was definitely the last for us. The food is overpriced, and still you do not get silverware: you find it in a container on the table with the sharp edges pointing up. This is an accord of a theme: the place only pretends to be kid (and parents) friendly.

Boston is not the most child-friendly place when it comes to dining with Toddlers with the exception of the usual MacDonalds etc. So I was so excited when I read rave reviews about the Full Moon. Boy was I disappointed. The play area was small and unsafe - child's gate used to security which was not really - a flight downward stairs. There was a hallway leading to the kitchen from the play area but was not secured. Food was overpriced but delicious. Would have liked more than the usual culprits for kids meals - Mac n Cheese, Pizza. Restuarant was shoddy, service was quick but pretty poor. Ordered more drinks but they never came. Wait staff were not exactly friendly. Not impressed

Pros: Area for children to play

Cons: Overpriced, shoddy decor, no reservation possible - disappointing wait with little children

An oasis for families, this North Cambridge favorite takes the term "kid-friendly" to new heights with accessible food and toys.  See the full editorial review.
