Went Xmas eve. They graciously accommodated a last minute add on to our party. It’s nice and dark but you can see- very good old- person lighting. They offer excellent food and drinks. We ordered family style. Lemon pasta, carrots, and meatballs were the best. Salmon was cooked perfectly, a simple dish. We got prompt and attentive but not overbearing service-top notch. The bartenders were incredibly efficient while we waited for our table- considering how busy they were. That all said, something about it was lacking in a special experience. Perhaps I’d try on a quieter evening when I’m better rested with a well-charged social battery.

MoMo continues to be such a neighborhood treasure. Owners that care and greet their guests, seasonal specials that complement their proven go-to dishes, a smart wine and beer list that pair so very well with the cuisine. I always enjoy visiting a locally owned restaurant where it is obvious that details matter. Michael
