We dined at the New Moon Restaurant in Santa Clarita on New Years Eve and the experience was so positive I felt compelled to write a review - even though the restaurant in Santa Clarita is not listed yet. \r
First of all, the place was very busy when we arrived at 8:30 PM. Despite arriving in the middle of the evening rush, we were seated promptly and were served fried wontons with plum sauce as an appetizer. Our waitress, Luan, was professional, friendly and despite being very busy, took the time to explain things thoroughly. Even our busboy Zach was a treat. Our water glasses were never empty and dishes were picked up right away. Luan and Zach were both charming and were a great team. They represented the restaurant very well.\r
The dinner was unlike any Chinese food I had experienced. The ""Shelby's Chicken"" was a winner. It was served hot, fresh and the recipe was unique. We also sampled the ""Velvet Chicken"" and it was delightful. Portions were ample and we had to take some home with us. Great value. Even the fortune cookies given at the end of the dinner were unlike anything we had ever had at a Chinese restaurant - as they were dipped in chocolate!\r
Overall, our experience at the New Moon was very, very positive and I expect that this restaurant will be around for a long time to come. I look forward to returning in the near future.
Pros: Food, atmosphere, service, parking
Cons: Still looking!
