We really enjoyed our time here. My first time wasn’t a great experience nothing to do with the boat but this time around with different company, it was much better.
I made a reservation during happy hour and there wasn’t any signage or memos on the website or while making the reservation saying that you could only enjoy happy hour at the bar out on the upstairs deck when weather permits.
Thankfully the boat was fairly empty when we arrived and due to it being our anniversary, they made an exception and let us enjoy happy hour at a regular table inside since it was too cold to sit outside and there was an event going outside.
The event was also not disclosed to us until we arrived but after we ate we were able to go outside and explore the boat and take photos.
Our food was absolutely delicious, for the happy hour we had 2 burger sliders, 2 orders of the small crab cakes I think they were and there was something else I didn’t eat but it was sushi related. Then we got greedy and ordered salmon and Mac and cheese which I would 100% go back for. Afterward our waitress gave us some sorbet on the house for our celebration.

If you want a unique experience for dinner this is it. Amazing atmosphere and excellent service. The food is good but not as good as it should be for how nice the place is and especially for the price. It’s still worth going as it’s such a great place for a date.

We went on New Year’s Eve to see the early fireworks. The ambiance and the waitress were amazing. There were some issues in the kitchen. We were doing the 4 course new years special. The appetizers were amazing. There was almost an hour before the fireworks started so we put in the 2nd course. Took so long to come out they held them until after the fireworks. We got those pretty quickly after the fireworks. Then we sat there for an hour and 15 minutes waiting for the entrees to come out. The food was delicious but the wait left a sour taste in our mouths. Our waitress was very sweet and kept apologizing for the kitchens failure. If it wasn’t for her we probably would’ve complained to the manager. Overall we had a great time and would definitely give them a second chance.

We went there for a birthday celebration. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They gave us a happy birthday card and they chose a very nice table by the window for us. We expected a bit better food quality. It was good, but we were not impressed. The servers were very nice, but it felt like they were rushing us to finish. Will definitely go back. The set up is very nice. The virgin cocktail was very good.

We had our wedding here last week and everything was 10/10! Like seriously no complaints. Jake is wonderful and is so helpful and accommodating. Getting bang for our buck is an understatement. All of our guests were so impressed with the venue itself, the food, and the friendly staff. We were able to use several areas of the ship for our wedding (the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing) and the switch between the spaces was effortless. We had an incredible day and would INSTANTLY recommend this venue for a night out, a cocktail hour, and especially an event or wedding!

Such a great idea, love something different!! We only had an appetizer but it was delicious .
If I have 1 negative, it would be that we were disappointed in the cocktails and liquor selection. Thought it would have more high-end cocktails and choices.

I wanted to go here for so long and was severely disappointed by this establishment.
The food was “good”, that’s the only reason it’s getting 3 stars.
1. The meal was 300+$ and all they gave us was a cup of soup, 3 shrimp, and 2 small entrees with no choice of dessert! The food was a solid 7/10, it tasted good, but definitely not worth the pric you’re paying. Easily a 60$ meal. They didn’t even give us a steak knife for our *very* tough meat!
2. We got there at 8:15 pm and didn’t get sat until 9:00 pm (our reservation was for 8:30pm) there was a crowd of people waiting at the door for their reservations for at least half an hour.
3. They sent us upstairs to a bar outside (in the winter) with no heaters! The poor bartender was freezing her hands off running back and forth to the heater. It was $40 (!) for two well drinks (not top shelf at all)
4. Once we finally got sat, the table wasn’t even set, it was still dirty. On top of that, the wait staff kept rushing us to finish our meal. They kept asking in the middle of our entree and conversation if we were done. We don’t want to rush a Valentine’s Day dinner we spend 300$ for and just waited almost an hour to be sat for.
I’ll be telling everyone in my circle to avoid this spot for Valentine’s Day. Not a great experience for the price. It just seemed like they wanted to get as many people in as possible, ignoring quality of experience.

We LOVED this place. We are from out of town and wanted a cool spot for dinner. This place delivered. The food was great with the exception of the lobster bisque. It had a weird smoky flavor that I didn’t love but that’s probably just personal preference. Everything else was delicious! If you are visiting and want a cool place for a romantic dinner, this is the spot. Also, make sure you check out the upper deck. It is SO cool!

Dining aboard Moshulu was an experience defined by refinement and restraint. The historic vessel provides an atmosphere of quiet grandeur, setting the tone for a meal that feels both intentional and elevated.
The salmon was exceptional—flawlessly prepared, rich yet delicate, and unquestionably the finest I have ever had. It demonstrated a level of precision and respect for the ingredient that separates truly great kitchens from merely good ones. The macaroni and cheese was well-executed and comforting, though more understated, serving as a competent accompaniment rather than a centerpiece. The Mousse Truffle concluded the evening beautifully: smooth, balanced, and indulgent without excess.
Moshulu succeeds by understanding elegance is not about excess, but execution. Between the setting, the craftsmanship of the food, and the overall composure of the experience, it is a restaurant that earns its reputation rather than leaning on it.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner on 08.15.2025 in the State Room aboard the Moshulu, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The space is cozy, elegant, and ideal for festive events. Nearly a month later, our guests are still raving!

As the bride juggling a million things, I was cared for with such prompt attention by the entire Moshulu team. My mother-in-law worked closely with our event concierge, Rebecca Fonte, and I joined for details like theme, decor, and guest count. Rebecca’s communication was seamless—quick responses, clear info in bite-sized steps, and real-time contract updates for transparency. She was flexible with last-minute changes to our guest count and table layout, and even helped my husband coordinate decor drop-off (flowers, signage, DIY items).
What surprised me most was on the day of the rehearsal—our wedding party rushed over to set up, but the Moshulu team had already done it, and better than we imagined. I’d sent one inspo photo that morning, and they nailed our vision perfectly.
Guests were warmly greeted and attended to all night. We had dancing, delicious food, great drinks, music, and explored the ship. The venue also has good parking (paid lot parking) and a ramp for accessibility.
I would 100% recommend Moshulu to future brides and anyone hosting an event who wants to simply enjoy, sit back, and have a good time.
