Full Moon

I’m visiting from Vegas and found this gem of a restaurant on a quaint little street of shops. They were able to feed a celiac like me with no problem. I enjoyed the ginger carrot soup and a grilled pear salad. Both were outstanding! I’m going to go there again for brunch this morning! Wish I lived closer, this place is delicious!

This place is good for dine in with kids. Service & foods are mediocre, prices are absurd compare to what u get in return but today’s parents don’t have too many options to dine in with kids so go for it!

I went here with my friend who has a little kid. This place is kid-​friendly and they provide the kid play room. On top of that, they use paper tablecloths for kids to draw! The best thing for me was, they offer free coffee refills!

When it comes to eating out with children and enjoying fine food, Full Moon makes no compromises. As everyone else has written, this restaurant is as kid-​friendly as it gets, with a nice playroom, crayons at each table, lots of high chairs and many good menu options for the little ones. But it’s also the grown-​up food that is worth a visit. From their mussels to the Moroccan chicken skewers to the sirloin, carne asada and fish dishes, everything is very tasty, well prepared and served in generous portions. Good desserts too and a decent wine list as well as some great craft beers. The service is super friendly and quite fast. They pay attention to the little details like not serving the children’s food too hot. Definitely a favorite place for parents to enjoy a gourmet meal while the kids keep themselves amused.

4 stars for the concept and for the kid-​friendly features, 3 stars for the brunch food I had (grilled salmon). Busy on a Saturday brunch, we got seated at a table by the chalkboard, and near the corner with the train table, box of books, and kids’ toys. Nice to have an entertainment area for young kids (toys seem to be geared for 5 and under) though it also can disturb some kids from actually eating! I was a little underwhelmed with my entrée but would love to try another item next time. Very friendly and good service. I found parking a bit difficult though we lucked out eventually (street parking only from what I can tell).

Had dinner with friends who have kids — this place is really for families with young kids who run wild here — not great for adult convos. Service was oddly lackadaisical and indifferent– they would take one persons order, for drinks, for example, and bring that order but no one else’s. It took forever to serve all four of us.
Once we got the food however it was uniformly good! The seafood stew was particularly well received, as was the pea ravioli.

All of the entrees we ordered were outstanding — VERY tasty!

I think everyone pretty much covered how kid friendly Full Moon is, but it is also a great location for brunch for people who do not have kids. I personally do not mind kids playing and yelling around me while I eat. And I have to say, Full Moon is never too noisy. Portions are very large, food is good. Staff are very friendly. I recommend the toast with raspberry jam.

Food was really great… a little tight, as the place isn’t huge, but it has a kid play area, which is fantastic when eating with the kids, as we get to relax a bit and not worry about the kids.
And the food, drinks, etc. were all very good and made fresh.

Little crammed and dark but the food is delish. Good options for brunch and dinner. Great location, tons of parking esply for Cambridge peeps. In fact I couldn’t think of anything more quintessentially Cambridge or Huron Village to be specific– wholesome, authentic good with a global multi ethnic touch, open and welcoming for parents of all kinds and kids! Omg kids. Yes don’t come here if you don’t have/​like kids. But if you do there’s no better place to grab a pork chops with apple butter and vino! Yum

Very kid friendly brunch spot. They were also SUPER attentive on refilling coffees and bringing decaf. A few of our party members came very late (like 40 – 60 minutes late and yes, our group was upset), but they were very accommodating with the changes in the # of people, and their tardiness.
The omelette was absolutely delicious and very filling. The potatoes, salad, and fruit combined are very heavy. I was unable to finish the whole meal.
The chicken salad is also enormous. Their portions here are very generous, and I’d be glad to go back.
There are kids running all over the place, which adds an amazing touch to make it a family restaurant.

Usually I dislike eating at restaurants with tons of screaming children, but I do appreciate the concept of a kid-​friendly hot spot since we came with our little cousins. The tables are covered in drawing paper so the young ones can keep entertained with a cup of crayons. There is also a play area in the back. If you aren’t kid-​friendly, I would suggest going elsewhere. However, their brunch is quite good. I got the pulled pork omelette. The portions were huge, and it came with a side of crispy home fries, salad, and cantaloupe. My little cousin ordered off the kids’ menu and got the pancakes that could have an adult. She ate them quickly without even needing syrup and enjoyed them a lot. The service was also very attentive. It wasn’t too crowded on a Saturday afternoon.

This restaurant is a breath of fresh air for parents and kids alike. When we first had kids, we thought that our days of eating out were over. Luckily, our son is quite accommodating and seems to have inherited a love for good food. Still, you can’t help but feel guilty whenever your child leaves a mess on the floor, cries in the middle of dinner, or even needs a high chair. And upscale restaurants? Forget it.
None of that even remotely applies for Full Moon. This restaurant has built their entire business model around serving families. They have a play area where kids of all ages can play. Like cars, like trains, like a fake kitchen? Check. Like drawing? Well, there’s an entire wall when your child can draw on using chalk.
And to top it off? The food is delicious! I ordered their special trout entrée, which consisted of a deboned whole fish that was perfectly grilled. It was topped with some peppers, garlic, and tomato sauce. On the side was some green beans. The fish was tender, juicy, and meshed very well with the rest of the plat. Everything was seasoned exactly right. I couldn’t believe that this was a «family» restaurant! Full Moon is definitely an upscale restaurant that gets it right.

They hit the spot. Unlike 99% of their target audience, my fiancé and I dropped in sans children and right before they closed on a Saturday. Their turkey sandwich and wedge potato fries made the afternoon shine rainbows and happiness. If I did have little ones, I’d go there during regular hours and let them frolic around the playground they have setup in there.
So, avoid rush hour unless you enjoy hanging out with children, because it’s pretty much their jam.
If you don’t mind or you find an end-​of-​day, enjoy their kind staff, solid food and great location in the middle of rural-​ish Cambridge (where I happen to be nearby).

The best place to come have dinner if there are children in your party. Have your lemonade and tea while drawing on the table (paper table cover) and waiting for supper – fresh arugula and beet salad or nachos with black beans and cheese. Great tasting food, excellent service and the happy chaos that dining with kids brings – embrace it all at Full Moon.

If you have little kids this place needs to be on your radar. Its a relatively upscale restaurant with a twist. Its super kid friendly. Crayons on the tables, a play area. The place smells like a fine blend of goat cheese and diapers. A posh parent’s dream come true.
Oh yeah, the food is damn good and the portions are hefty. I love their omelets and pulled pork sandwiches.

Wow, what an amazing family breakfast place!
I read about Full Moon on Unilocal and also reviews on Google and I had to try it.
This place was wonderful. When you first walk in you are greeted like a
regular. Smiles and hellos for everyone not just you the grown up but the kids also. We were seated by the play area, it was myself and my three kids, 2 girls ⁶¹⁄₂ and a very rambunctious 3 year old boy. Mt reaction great the closer the better, the kids when they saw they could play were so excited. My son immediately began to play with the train table and my daughters begin to draw with crayons on the paper tablecloths (I love paper tablecloths).
I felt very comfortable sitting and ordering while my son played with trains, pretend food and trucks. My girls went over and joined him happily and there was no fighting because there was plenty for them to share.
The food was good, big portions and tasty. My kids are not big eaters and I could’ve just ordered one kids meal for them to share. The kids meal had 3 large pancakes, bacon and fruit. If your kids are good eaters I would still think for three kids 2 orders would be enough. I did get an additional side of bacon because my kids love bacon. I got a breakfast sandwich I wish I could remember the name. It was eggs, cheddar and bacon on a bagel and it was way better than what I make at home. It came with fruit and home fries, the home fries were also delicious little squares puffs of potatoes and nothing was burnt all fresh and yummy. The food all came out very fast also.
The service was wonderful, everyone was so nice, so happy and smiling the whole time. They treated my kids as people instead of nuisances like some so called family places. We went at around 9:30 on a Saturday and it was not busy we had no problem being seated.
My kids after they ate a little then enjoyed writing all over the large chalk board wall that was behind us. No one minded them standing on the benches to be able to draw and many complimented them on their work.
My daughter Kayla said «This is the most wonderful breakfast place ever. We are never going anywhere else to eat breakfast, only here»
Like I said my kids are picky and they were very happy to eat and to be able to play just like at home.
Thank you Full Moon, you lived up to your womderful reviews and this LynchMob will definetly be back.

I’ve only been a parent in the UK, where taking your kid with you to eat before 6pm, anywhere, is pretty much totally fine. I was aghast when I came to visit 1.5 years ago, my 5-​month-​old in tow, and found my beloved hometown so unwelcoming to us. So color me delighted to find this wee spot in (of course) Cambridge, where toddlers are welcome and accommodated for, while there caretakers can sit and eat actually good food and drink an adult beverage.
If you don’t like kids, please don’t give this place a low rating based on that. That’s like me going to Hooters and giving it one star for objectifying women. I’d literally have to be an idiot to willingly go to Hooters when it’s plain as day what they are about (please draw your own conclusions about those complaining about Full Moon for being kid-​friendly). I’ll grant you, Full Moon isn’t quite as obvious that it’s essentially fine dining for those with toddlers, but it’s 100% obvious when you walk in. For god’s sake, 99% of the Boston Metro area is tailored to the young and hip, but believe it or not, those with children still enjoy going out in public and enjoying a nice meal! Let us have this!

I came without a child, but they insisted I take one that they had in the back. It had a gravy stain on it, but it was the lunch hour, so I figured who cared?
We ordered from the brunch menu and the pulled pork omelette was very tasty. Top-​grade kitchen. I would have to think this place hits the mark over Chuck-​ee Cheese.
The children were not overly loud, and enjoying the toys. I saw a couple of people who had also come without kids and who were settling for the house urchins. It worked. We will be back for breakfast soon. We’d be sooner if we could bring the pup in a stroller and pass her off as a child.

If you are complaining about the kid factor in this place, you seriously need to just call it a life and jump in front of the nearest red line train. This is literally the ONLY venue where kids are encouraged to wreak managed havoc and their parents are able to consume an actual meal, with a glass of wine without feeling the hatred and ire of fellow diners.
Food is standard new American with a nod to fusion– I have had the steak and the Thai fish stew and have sampled the mezze and a chicken dish. All have been middle of the road or better, and while that is typically not quite enough to bring me back, the fact that there is an open concept play area for kiddos, and a tolerance of maniacism is.
Definitely an interesting night out for the parents: real food, real drinks, in a real space– plus the perks of a play ground.
