    Great dining experience! The food was wonderful and our server, Darrell, was so attentive and accommodating it made the entire time we were there unforgettable. The only downside was that the only reservation we could get was at 4:30 pm on a Sunday, but that was because it's so popular there, and despite the high prices. But it was worth it, and we'd happily go back.

    Our waitress was attentive. She did a good job! The food was fantastic. They serve cornbread before the meal and it was like having dessert. They serve it warm with butter. I had the shrimp and halibut cheeks with polenta. Michael had the steak with crab. His meal came with a macaroni cake which was delicious. Michael’s steak was cooked perfectly and my meal was wonderful. Reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant! After our dinner we sat at the bar and had an after dinner drink!

    The lasagna was very good and huge portions! My date had the filet which was outstanding at mid rare. Service was way above board. My date spilled her drink and they had it taken care of immediately with a replacement to go. Ambiance is upscale and pleasant. Highly recommended!!!

    I want to thank Regional Manager Melissa for the outstanding attention she gave us! We showed up for brunch and didn't realize it was not offered on weekdays. She read my disappointment and went above a beyond to ensure I was going to love the experience anyway :). BOY am I glad we stayed. She recommended the French Onion Soup and it was probably the best thing we've had in a long time! Delicious!!! We'll be back, and often! Go see them...Le Moo is awesome!!
