"Every single dish tastes like it was made with love. The ingredients balance each other out, resulting in a truly pleasing experience to the palate. Some ingredients at times might make you wonder what they are exactly, since they may taste very familiar or completely exotic. The dishes are carefully and thoughtfully plated and the cooking technique is impeccable. I, for instance, had the duck leg confit as an entree which was tender and juicy on the inside but the skin was crispy and bright. The cubed potato it was on blew me away the simplicity of roasted potato was elevated in such a way I can humbly say it was my favorite. The desserts were not too sweet and portions are small (like a taster) which is perfect to wrap up a delicious three course meal. Each of the members of staff from the host to the server and runner were prompt and efficient. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to make great recommendations. Even his tone of voice was soothing and it was pleasant to have him around. One thing I particularly thank is at the end of our meal he politely *asked* if he could bring the check; he did not drop it like in many other restaurants. In terms of hygiene, the surfaces, utensils and outfits were clean. The restroom is average and somewhat underwhelming in comparison to such a great experience. The dining room is ample, yet not huge. This is somewhere you definitely go for the food and food alone. Perfect for dates and small gatherings. Great restaurant to book a reservation during restaurant week since you get the same quality for a reduced fee. Recommended!"

"We visited this restaurant on a Monday evening and found it to be not very crowded. Looking back, we should have requested outdoor seating as it was a beautiful evening in San Francisco. The service was attentive and top-notch. The decor and ambiance were very pleasing. It's the type of place where people tend to dress up a bit, but you can also feel comfortable in nice jeans and a collared shirt. While the food was decent, we found that the flavors were somewhat lacking and a bit bland. The side dishes were tasty, but the options were limited."

"We stopped at this restaurant before our concert at the Golden 1 Center for some drinks and food during intermission. We did not have a reservation and the restaurant was fully booked."

"Something has recently changed with Taurus. It was our go to celebration restaurant. But the menu has been cut back, the servers did as good of a job as they could but the restaurant was under-staffed. The sides are served in much smaller portions. Even the serving plates and bowls have a cheaper feel to them in comparison to previous dinnerware. It used to be worth the price, but now not so much. The food tasted good but the value for the prices you pay has definitely declined. They have tried to address this by having a side “included” with your entree but the sides are so small that it was almost comical. For anyone who has not eaten before these changes they will likely be ok because they will not know the difference. But for those of us who have been patrons since they opened, it’s noticeable."

"Once again, we had a delightful dining experience at Pasta Moon. We started by sharing a margherita pizza paired with our Bubbles and Berries cocktail. The summer salad was exceptional, and I was thrilled to switch out the goat cheese for feta, making it just right for my taste. The mile-high lasagna was amazing, and, as usual, the portions were so generous that I brought a lot of it home. The risotto and scallops were also a favorite, complementing the sparkling rosé wine we shared at the table. To top it all off, we indulged in the strawberry and rhubarb cobbler, which was simply a must-try!"
