    Food and service were excellent. The pork chop was one of the best I have ever had. Wife had the flat iron steak which was also delicious. We shared the Gouda mac & cheese side which was amazing. A little on the pricey side but not out of reach for a tasty well prepared dinner. A+ we will be back.

    We had been wanting to try this place and decided to make reservations for our anniversary. We were seated immediately and our hostess gave us a little history of the building! The food and drinks were delicious and we were even treated with a choice of dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. Definitely will be back!

    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!
