We had a wonderful time! It was my first time at Mooo, and after everyone in my extended family has been telling me to go, I will say it did not disappoint. The filet mignon and beef wellington were cooked to PERFECTION, which is especially impressive for the wellington. 11/10 would eat again

Delicious!! Tight quarters with the tables but that’s every North end restaurant. Delicious food and drinks but they don’t serve desert. Need to go to their bakery next door but given it was Christmas Eve Eve, there were lines out of every bakery door!! Good service and not bad prices. They have valet ($30) but didn’t realize and my husband dropped us off and parked in the lot down the street. They won’t seat you until your full party is together. Overall would definitely recommend.
