Overall, we were very happy with everything at Le Moo. The only thing I would not write this experience as a five out of five is the speed of getting our food. It took quite a while to get our appetizer and soup. And within about two minutes of receiving those items, our entrées arrived. I don’t mind if we are still finishing up our appetizer when we get our entrée, but at this point, we had barely begun. And to be honest, the table really just wasn’t big enough for all of our items at once. Otherwise everything was superb. And even though it took a little bit to get our appetizer and soup, our server was very good. I could tell she was very busy. Also, because they are celebrating their 10th birthday, you get a toast of champagne when they walk you to your table. That was an awesome touch. Thank you so much for that. We will be back for sure!
