This was one of the best buffet's I have been to. There was a HUGE assortment of foods and salads - and every thing was fresh and hot. They had an omlete and waffle stand which had the most amazing waffles I have ever tasted in my life. The service was excellent. They were there when you needed them but not overly so. The price was not bad for a G-town buffet. You would pay at least that much all over the city for a buffet that size. Don't miss out!!

The alfredo could use more seasoning, and hard (nearly frozen) butter was served with the bread. My waitress spoke limited english, so there were a few miscommunications/ mix-ups. I think she should have had an interpreter, since she could not understand us and messed up our order. Despite that, everything else was nice.

Paper Moon is a great date spot. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. It's location on one of the side streets in Georgetown gives it wonderful ambience!! Service was prompt and good. The food was excellent. They give you alot for your money. I would definitely go back to this restaurant and reccommend it to others.

We sat outside, ambience was very nice- tables on the sidewalk by the street. It is a relatively quiet area so it was easy to talk and catch up with old friends. The eggplant appetizer was fabulous and a perfect size to share. The veal with prosciuto was also very good. The prosciuto was a tiny bit dry, but it didn't matter. The $30 bottle of pinot grigio was also good- good value. Service was a little slow, but our server was nice and friendly, and we weren't in a hurry or anything so it didn't matter to us. It was a good experience. I will definitely be back.

I apologize if I rated this restuarant very poor considering I never took a bite to eat. The service of the restuarant was poor. My girlfriend and I walked into the restaurant; we waited at least 5 minutes before being taken to a seat. The restaurant had only 5 to 6 tables occupied so there was no excuse for the wait. Secondly, the server took an extra 5 minutes to even acknowledge our table, then he replied with " are you upset I took to long". We began placing prelimanary orders; we ordered Pinot Griot. The glasses were dirty with what looked liked hand smears and soap residue. That's not how you serve a white wine or any in that case. We waited another 10 minutes before he returned. Mind you. . . This was all timed. We told him that we felt like we were not being attended to and decided to leave. He said we had to pay for the drinks; I said " I didn't drink the wine nor will I pay" he said we should talk to the manager. I explained the entire situation to the manager and he too seemed listless and uninterested. I promptly told him that we are leaving and heading across the street to Ristorante Piccolo. I've had bad service before but I never had two supposed customer oriented people react in this way. The restuarant will never receive high marks from me.
