We had dinner and sat on the deck. My friend and I ordered at the counter and my other 2 friends ordered by scanning code at table. Half an hour after we ordered . My friends got their order very quickly, we waited and waited for over an hour. We called over the young male waiter, which was very helpful, we did say, do we get a free cocktail for waiting so long. He said if you’ve been waiting an hour, yes sure. Well we finally got our dinner well after an hour. And the young man (waiter) was true to his promise, and asked what cocktail we’d like. So full credit to him. But my dinner was atrocious, I had the Sri Lanka curry, it was so small and hardly any curry sauce. Very dry. I have ordered this before awhile ago, and was so delicious and very generous on the plate, but I think they forget about our meals and just slapped it all in the plate. Also had chunks of pineapple on top, yuk. Never had that before. And for that, I will never order again and may even think twice revisiting the full moon again. Also it was very loud.

We visited for a quick meal before a show at the entertainment centre a couple of months ago. Life gets busy so this review is late in being posted but I can say I still think about the amazing roasted barramundi fillet in a coconut cream curry sauce.... YUM! My partner had the Texas style brisket sandwich, which he also really enjoyed. As we were there for dinner, we couldn't appreciate the views out the window but the venue has a great mix of tables and chairs for different types of visitors whether just there for a couple drinks and chit chat to both formal and informal table settings. Definitely will return when we're back in the area

Ordered the pork tacos and calamari. The tacos were well filled and soft and good serving. The calamari were fresh and soft and lightly crumbed. Had desert the pecan pie with ice cream was excellent moist, lovely soft caramel, vanilla ice cream was soft, creamy and soft. The coffee was hot and had a nice flavour. A nice view of the ocean from the restaurant.

Not Classy (could be, but is not). We went to see a live band and they had a huge television playing cricket on, right behind the live band, and this was 8pm at night. We asked about this, they told us they would not turn it off because it was a live game, at 8pm, and literally one person in the establishment was watching the game, we spoke to him, and he was only watching out of boredom until the band came on... yeah... do better... be better. Seriously, ditch your TVs (segregate them)

I ordered gluten free food saying I have coeliac disease to make sure I can eat there. The waiter took my order saying it's no problem. When she brought the food she said: please note your French fries are not really gluten free as we cook all in the same oil. Went back home hungry and disappointed. Really nice looking place, and non gluten free food my mates ordered apparently was quite good. Highly recommending this please if you don't have any food intolerances.

My family went along to the Full Moon tonight for a birthday dinner some meals arrived early and others had to be followed up. My meal and my sons was great. The menu could be changed some as well. I would like to pass on my appreciation to staff member Dean who waited on our table most of the night and he did an excellent job if you can pass this on for him. Tables cleared away efficiently which is another place as some places dont. Thanks for a great night Full Moon.

Food was just alright. Left feeling not satisfied. Lots of beer on tap and not many other choices. Childrens fish and chip meals was very oily. Bar staff seemed huffy when I was taking a little while to decide what I wanted to drink as I don't drink beer and need to be careful what wines and spirits I drink due to getting migraines from certain drinks. Felt cramped at our 4 seater table as well. Disappointing experience all in all and won't be back.

Great food at great prices Vegan options are good and very good to see they have lots of options for vegans. My favourite is the garlic & spinach bread with vegan cheese ( think you have to ask for this to be changed) I also had my 40th birthday party here and the room was nice and food served was lovely. Great staff and amazing location

Very accessible for wheelchair users. Thank you for making our Monday lunch a wonderful and easy experience. At table app ordering is easy. The Maitre d was super accomodating and he moved the chairs out of our way before we even arrived for our reservation. This is a huge help for wheelchair users as we don’t have to turn up and awkwardly move furniture around!

Bad experience. We came with a group of 30 people and were told that we couldn't park our buses inside. The waiter who I believe was Indian/Pakistani was extremely rude and abrupt. Some of our staff got 18 steak, then we were told no more people can have it because it was a cafe item and you have to sit in the cafe. We were literally right next to the cafe. Ridiculous. We won't be back.

Worst pub schnitzel I’ve ever had. Promoted as schnitzel night we attended to find a schnitzel that looks like it’s straight out of a bulk buy Aldi pack. Very disappointing. Staff were great but food very underwhelming and overpriced.

Great location with a wonderful view. When we ordered our food we were advised that they were very busy and may have to wait about 1 hour for our meals. I am delighted to say the food arrived in about 30 mins and my medium rare steak was perfect. The staff were friendly and efficient.

The only two redeeming qualities of my lunch were as follows: You had Cooper's Sparkling on tap and - the patrons sitting behind us had a cute French Bulldog. Whoever made that pizza needs to go back and think about a new career path.

Had a booking in the bistro and was not allowed entry as one of our guests did not have ID. Was happy to sit and eat without ordering drinks but still refused entry. Was advised that house policy trumps law and if that is so please update your website and notify bookings prior to online bookings. Do not attend. More

In for a few drinks and something to eat. OK range of drinks. Entrees were very good. Risotto main was suboptimal but we enjoyed our visit overall as did a good range of other patrons.

LIVE music in the Moonlight Bar, great group today, Scott & Jas were brilliant. Perhaps the pub could turn off the Sports TV behind the entertainment, such a distraction.

The full moon is a gorgeous venue perfect to relax and enjoy a drink or a meal. Love the terrace and there are great items on the menu to choose from. Lots of parking in the carpark and great location along the water. Definitely worth a visit when visiting Sandgate! More

As much as I love the confidence of naming it "Brisbane's Best Chicken Parmi", it wouldn't even crack the top 1000. Horrible attempt. 2 stars purely just for appreciating your blind optimism.
