Best restaurant in Boston

by sc81

I went here with my boyfriend for our anniversary. The atmosphere was really beautiful, our server was attentive, but not overbearing, and the food was amazing. I had the best meal of my life. For an appetizer we got the seafood platter for two which was delicious. The fresh baked bread was amazing. I ordered the filet mignon and my boyfriend ordered the beef wellington. Both were cooked just the way we asked, and we both agreed it was one of the better meals we've had. They served a butter flavored with thyme to compliment my steak, and it was perfect. The sides were amazing, particularly the mushroom risotto. I had a bluberry tart for dessert that rivaled a home-made pie.

The place was pricey so it's good for special occasions. If it was cheaper, I'd go every week.

• Pros: Food, service, atmosphere
• Cons: Pricey

Expensive debacle

by HardestToPlease

My boyfriend and I went to Mooo last night after hearing mixed reviews. We enjoy trying new places however, this experience was one we would like to forget. We frequent steakhouses such as Grill 23, Abe and Louie's, Capital Grill, Ruth's Chris and Mortons so we figured it would be fun to try another steakhouse to potentially add to the list. For appetizers, we ordered the kobe beef dumplings and chilled alaskan crab and avocado which were both decent at best. I also ordered the clam chowder for myself which was tasteless. For meals, I ordered the chilled lobster tail which again was tasteless and which I sent back. My boyfriend ordered a steak (I don't remember exactly which one) but he said he enjoyed it. Overall, the best thing I had all night was my steamed asparagus side order. The manager then asked me if I would like something else and I said Caprese and almost 25 minutes later, my server comes over with a plate of plain pasta?!? To top the night off, the server also misplaced our credit card but found it about 5 minutes after he lost it.

• Pros: Valet parking, Beacon Hill location
• Cons: The food

Not worth it at all

by J14G01

The food is not worth the price. There are so many better steakhouse in Boston - Capital Grille, Grill 23, Abe and Louies, Ruth's Chirs. I honestly have had better sirloin at the Outback. I would not return to this establishment. Even the vegetables were over cooked. The drinks were fun and festive but for a restaurant whose main focus is the cow, they certainly don't know how to make a great steak.
