Restaurant Review: Once in a Blue Moon Jazz & Diner

By Sherman Chan,
Special to The Post

 

We stopped by for breakfast. The first thing that we noticed was the renovations that have transformed the place into more of a lounge feel. The Breakfast Special (weekdays only) caught our eye. It included two eggs, hash browns, toast and choice of meat. This was pretty solid with crispy bacon and those potatoes were on point being crispy while soft and fluffy inside. I had the French Toast breakfast. it was almost the same thing except for the French toast which was a bit spongy.

We tried the Blast N2 the Past with the Full Moon Burger consisting of fried egg, grilled onions and cheese. The beef patty was a bit mealier than it was before. The side of fresh cut fries were really crispy, fresh-tasting. The Cheesburger Wrap with fries was a lower-carb alternative and had the same qualities as the aforementioned burger except in a wrap that was grilled slightly on the flattop.

I had the Korean Shortribs with rice which came with the Salad Barwhich. It was modest, but fresh. It sported a pasta salad, Greek salad, beets, potato salad and Caesar salad. The short ribs were spot on. Nicely charred and well-marinated, these tasted and ate like Korean short ribs found at Korean restaurants. But the rice was mushy. Overall, there was some hits and misses with the food. But the same great service and eclectic feel still remains.
