    The food was amazing. We had a party of six. I think I might’ve seen our server three times I would’ve maybe liked to have ordered a dessert or ask for some grated cheese. I didn’t really have that opportunity. However, the food was excellent ambience was a 10 the wine was 10 we will definitely come back with a smaller party and not on a holiday weekend.

    Starting with the service our waitress took care of our every neeed while recognizing our 25th wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day. We both had steaks and it was the best we have had in a long time. Even the sides of mashed potatoes and carrots were delicious. The the night was topped off with a terrific dessert in which they recognized our 25th wedding anniversary followed by complimentary chocolates. I would highly recommend Mooo for dinner and will be definitely be going again.

    Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.
