I was visiting NC for a few days and had the pleasure of being introduced to one of the best seafood restaurants I've visited in my life! I grew up eating seafood practically every weekend off the Pacific and later lived in Massachusetts, frequenting seafood restaurants. My visit to full moon brought such new experiences that were pleasing both visually and tastefully. A start with some of the freshest oysters was merely the beginning to a delicious and adventurous dinner. Followed by a must try, yet oddly named alligator and crawfish cheesecake, I was expecting a sin on a plate, but was mind blown by the spicy corn bread-like based filled with the seafood meat and covered with a creamy creole sauce. Even though not a spicy food fan, I couldn't resist but continue munching. After explaining my affinity for NE clan chowder, I was recommended a mixture of the crab bisque with the popular creamy soup. Combined they were a flavor force to be reckoned with, and even in the background, the clam chowder was one of the best I've ever experienced, including $20 cups in downtown Boston. Later, we were introduced to the char-grilled oysters. I NEVER in my life EVER liked cooked oysters, only raw, but boy, did these turn me into a believer! A perfect combination of flavors created the most wonderful pairing to the shellfish. The sauce alone was enough to make your knees week, that at the end, it was hard not to scrape every bit of oil with the garlic bread. Lastly, the ends of the night was crowned by the most magestic cake - banana bread pudding! An ingenious creation of the most delicious and moist banana cake with nilla wafers popping here and there and sandwiched with some creamy icing. The staff was as amazing as the food, highly attentive, entertaining, and on point with the shucking! I hope to make it back to NC simply to return to this must try foodie stop and gem!

Strange experience. We loved the atmosphere! The decor is fun and eclectic. The oysters are large and meaty. The entrées are pretty average. However, the most memorable part of our experience was the staff. Starting with the bartender - Wow, she is a loose cannon. Rough around the edges. Loud. In your face. Very fragile ego. I wasn't offended by her gruffness because mental illness runs in my family, but I imagine some customers may not be so understanding. Then, there was the back waiter walking around behind the bar eating a buffalo chicken wing. It looked good! But I didn't see it on the menu. Then, there was our waitress who forgot to bring out my drink. (Thank goodness we had waters!) When she finally returned to check on us after we got our entrées, she looked at my plate and said, "That don't look right. Normally the sauce is thicker." I had to reassure her that it was still okay even though I guess it was missing ingredients in the sauce?? She wasn't sure. She just thought it looked strange. And that's the best way to describe Full Moon.. strange. You should def try it out once just for stories you'll have!

Our first time here and the experience didn’t start off the best but it ended on a high note. Only complaint I have was we were told a 20 minute wait and it turned into us waiting an hour and 20 minutes. I don’t think it should have been that much of a difference. Anyhow the food was out of this world phenomenal! Our bartender/server for the evening was Jody and she was stellar in every way. Fun to talk to and made excellent shooters for my friends and I. Several rounds as a matter of fact. I would suggest this place based off the food and service Jody provided just be cautious about the wait. They don’t seem to have a handle on that.
