A cute little cafe planted right up against Shepherdstown College on Princess Street. I give them a mediocre review for numerous reasons. While the outside dining area was pleasant, it was also dark and the dirt (not mulch or grass) was uneven beneath our table making the meal a bit like dining on a boat. They had poor lighting with seemingly random placement and tables were way too close to not share every word and lipsmack coming from the large group seated next to us. (A couple looking for a quiet meal.)The inside was an eclectic mix of rather pub like decor which featured a nice window filled with cobalt blue glassware immediately adjacent to a gnome mooning the customers... The fare was very limited to pretty much salads, sandwiches and a few run of the mill appetizers. They had only 2 entrees (which sounded unappetizing) and virtually no vegetables to be found. Diet Pepsi (which makes my throat constrict) was the only diet option next to unsweetened tea and water and offered quite unapologetically to 2 diabetics. We ordered the crab melts, which were smothered in a sharp cheddar making the tiny bit of crab almost undetectable. I had their "Pilgrim" sandwich., which I would not reccomend. It was supposed to be turkey, brie, and cranberry aoili on ciabatta bread. The turkey was the only good thing about the sandwich. The brie was way too greasy and tasteless, the aioli was a thoroughly tasteless mayo with a few dried cranberries tossed in, and the ciabatta was too hard to be pleasant. The best thing on my plate was a pile of surprisingly good kettle style chips. My husband said his "Chubby burger" was good, so I can't comment. However the waitress was far more interested in fawning over the 6 20 year olds at the next table (who were seated well after us) than even asking if we needed drink refills. I only got a second tea about a half hour into our wait for 2 very basic sandwiches by asking the young man who brought our appetizer. All in all, I have had much worse, but CERTAINLY much better. The stream running through the outdoor dining area was probably the best part of the evening.

We visited a few local restaurants during a visit to the area, and this was one of our favorites! The outdoor garden seating is lovely! The stream is a little loud, but, personally, I liked hearing the sound of nature while enjoying my meal. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very casual. A great place to enjoy a burger or wrap - which is what my husband and I both got. We also got the hummus appetizer, which had delicious warm pita bread with it! The hummus was a little saltier than my preference, but overall good! Similarly, the turkey wrap that I got was a little on the salty side, but still yummy. It had lots of fresh veggies in it, which was delicious. We had our 11 month old with us. They had a high chair for her, but it was a little tricky to use in the outdoor seating. The brick floor by our table was a little uneven, making the chair rock a bit when she moved (which our little one thought was fun, but Mama was a little nervous 😆). Staff were kind and friendly to all of us. The individual any gender bathrooms were cute and well maintained. There was a diaper changing station in the larger bathroom. The one bathroom did have a messy toilet seat (the rest of the room was clean), but I told a staff member about it and they promptly took care of it. Overall, this is a great casual and relaxing lunch spot.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate a friend's milestone birthday, reserving an outdoor table for 12. Upon arrival, we found the table set for only 8, so we added a table and chairs ourselves. Our server, Taylor, was difficult--cold, and borderline rude, with a snappy attitude that felt discriminatory. Despite this, we tried to stay positive to keep the mood light. Later, two tentative guests joined, bringing our group to 14. We took two chairs from nearby empty tables. Five minutes later, Taylor approached and said, "You can't take chairs from other tables, even if they're empty. Your reservation was for 12. Put the chairs back." When I asked where our extra guests should sit, he replied, "I don't know," which was incredibly rude and dampened the celebratory vibe. I spoke to the manager, who was equally unhelpful and cold. I explained we were celebrating a milestone birthday and requested two additional chairs. She agreed to send chairs from inside but insisted we return the ones we took. The poor service and the attitude continued till the end despite our efforts to work with their staff. The food was decent, and the ambiance, with water flowing, was pleasant. TLDR: Service was awful, discriminatory.

My fiancés jacket caught on fire and they banned us from coming back!

We are actually regulars are the Ble Moon Cafe in Shepherdstown. We love the Salads they make. But today when we went, my fiancé and I were sat at the little table in the corner next to the gas fireplace. I noticed the smell of something burning and I look and see her jacket is on fire! We put it out and told the manager. And she calls the general manager and offers us a 20% discount. (Which would be about $10-$15 on our meal) Next, the General Manager show up on the grounds and goes on to tell us that it is her fault and the "law" states 6 inches from the fireplace is whats required. She starts demanding my name, and doesn't give any heart felt apology or anything! I ask to speak to the owner, and I quote she says 'you dont like talking to me? You're not gonna wanna have to talk to him'.

So he shows up, tells us it is are fault. Claims I said I am going to "own" his business with a lawsuit (which is false) and tells us we are not welcome back and that we don't have to pay for our meals.

We didn't have much of an apetite, and after getting yelled at infront of the other customers, we decided to leave.

I will compel anyone I know not to eat here ever again for how this situation was handled.

If I were a business owner, I would offer a free meal from the beginning. I would have apologized and tried to make it right.

Instead we were blamed and the books were thrown at us.

Avoid this place at all costs if you want a pleasant experience while dinning out.

Edit* the table was moved maybe an inch at most because we were too close to the people next to us. All of the dialogue was recorded and the below statement is false about anything being said. I would swear with my hand on the holy bible that the above is true. God as my witness.

Oh, and I am a veteran. They made sure to make today (veterans day) a bad day.

I also found an article posted in the news about a all employees quitting because of sexual harassment and being underpaid (you can look this up yourself)
