    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

    Impressed by this establishment. We wanted fine dining in Boston and we got it. I had the halibut and it was amazing. My husband had a steak, also amazing. My daughter and son were able to slit the heritage chicken and it was plenty. Sides are shareable. My husband’s brown sugar old fashioned was Pinterest worthy. I had an espresso martini x 2 with amazing taste and a frosted glass which kept it cold for the little time that it lasted. Ambiance is elegant. They were well decorated for Christmas. Coat check was a nice surprise. The service was impeccable. We will return.
