Don't get me wrong but I love Diners. Like love them more than a pub or a bar and this one is one of the most prettiest diner I have even seen. Done in pale shades of blue and silver, the decor justifies its name- moonstruck. Their bakery section is amazing and the coffee was nicely roasted.
They're open late, which is a plus, but our fried mozzarella sticks had way too much breading. We couldn't finish it. Also quite expensive for mozzarella sticks. Service was friendly. Environment is a bit tacky but comfortable.
"Standard Diner"
I have visited this diner quite a few times and the service during the AM hours has been hit or mis. Like most nyc diners, the menu is full of various dishes – egg platers burgers, gyros, salads, surf and turf, desserts, etc. I will say that the French fries are fried perfectly. Also, the portions are very large. You could probably feed a small country with the amount of home-fries you get with the breakfast platters.
The one this that kind of annoys me with this place is that it charges you for a soda if you get a seltzer water. I mean it is just carbonated water!!!!
Other than that the place is fine and perfect if you do not know what you want to eat because EVERYTHING is served at this establishment.
Since we'd only eaten pastries for breakfast, and had just walked across Central Park, I was craving a full breakfast, even though it was mid-afternoon. AND!!! Moonstruck Diner serves beer & wine! Inside was quiet, with only a few other diners. I ordered an omelet, which was quite large & well-packed with ingredients. And I enjoyed a bottle of Bud Light with my meal! I wasn't impressed with the potatoes & didn't eat much of them. My friend ordered a bagel with lox & cream cheese, which she said was very good. She had a glass of chardonnay with her meal, which she immediately felt so I got to finish it!
Service was OK… our first server was not very attentive. But apparently his shift was ending soon, before we'd finished eating; our second server was much friendlier.We loved the diner-esque decor at Moonstruck Diner, & enjoyed eating here.
Had a lunch meeting there. Food is solid diner food. In and out.
Food good service good but they don't think about logical things- for instance yesterday my Greek salad had no red onion in it and they served it to me with balsamic. I had to ask for white sauce for the pita and had to request oil and red wine vinegar to dress it with. Today I ordered matza ball soup which came w no chicken and no veggies just broth and balls. Last week I got French onion though and it was awesome ! Their fries are awesome too. I recommend it for lunch , but again… Some things just are a little "off" so be specific about what you want. Still tastes amazing tho and quick and friendly service !
Grumpy cat (first world) real time lunch review y'all….
Ordered delivery. Came reasonably quickly. Portions fine-to-generous for the area and price points.
What wasn't fine for the price point were the ingredients used versus those listed on the menu.
Very cool to have a BYO Omelette option. Looked like the innards I ordered, though the cheddar was mixed into the omelette along with the other add ons….making it a hardly distinguishable flavor, and for a dryer omelette. Hearty amount of potatoes and omelette size….but I selected home fries….not cubed potatoes (there's a difference).
They honored substituting fettucinni for penne (props)…but they list this as a dish with shiitake mushrooms…they use white button. Rather significant price and flavor differential. Had I been eating in, this would have been sent back; nearly $15 before tax/tip for vegetarian pasta with button mushrooms? I think not.
Flavors were good….tossed salad was good (not just iceberg)….seems like they're trying to give great quality….so rounded the 2.5-stars up to 3…….but I'll think a few times – and likely have to exhaust other area options – before trying Moonstruck again, as I now have no idea if I'll get that for which I paid.
I like it a lot. Yum.
Been here twice, once dined in and other time I picked up. A bit pricey but it's definitely the area.
The grilled chicken is not dry and is seasoned well. It's actually pretty juicy. The sweet potato fries are delicious ! Fries to crispy perfection oh my. The only thing is that they weren't consistent in shape. Check out my pictures. First time I got them they were nice and thick. Second time they were all skinny. I mean doesn't matter to me because both times they were so crunchy butttt the thick ones are my preference. Oh wells, this is deff the spot I would go to for lunch again if I'm in town. I have to try their regular fries, can't imagine how crispy those are too. **Drooling
