What People Are Saying About Full Moon
The Editor

Citysearch
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 chef cursed me out in front of my 9 year old son!

Horrible experience ending with the chef saying, "F**k you" to me in the street in front of my 9 year old son.
The food has always been bad (we only go so the kids can play and we can walk there) and it's loud as hell. My wife tied our dog up outside the restaurant and he was apparently barking while we ate dinner in the corner. (We wouldn't have left him if he usually barks.) Of course I didn't hear a thing the place is so loud. The chef with the beard came chasing me out of the restaurant, asking me not to leave my dog. I apologized, of course, not knowing he had been barking, but this guy wouldn't let up. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what he was trying to say. I'd already told him I would have gotten the dog sooner if I'd any idea, but he kept going so I walked away -- leading him to use the ripe expletive. What a kid's restaurant, huh? It's not as if it's the first time we've been there -- we've thousand dollars there over the years but he's lost my business permanently. See ya!!
- Pros: Kids can play. Kids like the food.
- Cons: Kids may be cursed at. Food not so great for adults.

very poor service, not realy kid-friendly
by bemichael at Citysearch
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.

Don't Believe the Hype

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
The Details on Full Moon
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.
