Little Moss — Restaurant in Dartmouth

Very disappointing. We each ordered six oysters along with a salad, yellowtail crudo, olives, ricotta, and striped bass. The oysters, salad, crudo and olives all came out at the same time. It was food overload. No pacing. I spoke with the manager who couldn’t be bothered because he sitting at the bar with friends. When we finished the oysters, they were not cleared and we could not negotiate any more room at the table to share the next course. We finally moved the oysters to the next table. The salad was a watery wimpy bowl of greens that we sent back. We had to search for someone to refill our water glasses. It was a very disappointing evening. In addition to the quality of the food the dining experience is equally important. The experience was a zero. Our server never checked in with us. Unless it was to sell us another glass of wine. And we are greeted with a 20 percent service charge as an insult. We live here, would like to frequent the place, but this is the last straw. We would be embarrassed to bring guests to...

10 stars please!! Little Moss, take a bow, a sublime birthday dinner....Service was flawless from start to finish. Food was expedited perfectly. Plating was flawless. We savored Maine oyster that were so sweet and briny, topped with a little mignonette. The mushroom app was divine. The local fungus sat on top of a bed of lovely ricotta. We mopped it up with house made focaccia that was soft and chewy . We had a separate order of amazing Italian EVOO and more bread. We loved the oil so much, we bought a tin. My rigatoni was heaven and my partner's New Bedford scallops were ambrosial. He loved the delicata squash garnish. The piece de resistance was the dessert; a lovely house made apple hand pie, house made fluffy whipped cream and a twist of house made cardamon ginger soft serve. I cried a little over this culinary delight. We had an amazing bottle of wine but I am too dizzy from my experience to remember the name. This gem is worthy of your dining pleasure. Shannon runs an amazing front end and Katherine was the server...

Little Moss is a magical outpost of gastronomy. Saying "it's delicious," although true, misses the truth of the place, which is culinary mastery and brilliant technique in the kitchen. Scallops crisped on the outside but tender on the inside, in a divinely seasoned lobster broth is one example - or the chicken confit with eggplant and cashew cream, with a crispy-skinned yet tender leg accompanied by eggplant with an almost gooey texture, also divinely seasoned... I could go on about every item on the menu, each different, yet fully realized in its own right. How do they do that? How do you make a scallop that crispy yet tender at the same time, with an indescribably smooth texture that caresses and tugs at the tongue? There aren't words, these folks are just genius. You just gotta go. This is a...
