TL;DR: You're coming to 'Mooo....' you're spending money! Yet - you get not only a phenomenal steak dinner, but overall experience. The food, drinks, atmosphere , and staff were all S-Tier. A super-special occasion (new job & move to Chicago) called for a special meal. For three people, I dropped $800, after tax and tip, and I don't regret it one bit. Prices... I usually wail against a bowl of broccolini costing $15 for $3 of ingredients. However, I get that if people are willing to spend $100 on a steak, might as well. Still, I can confidently say "you get what you pay for," and this is after I dropped more money for a meal than ever before.Tuna Tartare - The fish was of the highest imaginable quality. The miso sauce wasn't overdone, and fully allowed the fish to shine on its own. The cucumber and crisp wonton added a lovely element of crunch and freshness, and the cilantro added flavor too. Seabass Ceviche - The fish is also top-notch, and the sauce and accompaniments are next level. It had some tang from the Citrus Vinaigrette. I loved that it wasn't straight acid, but had flavor! This is in part due to the chilis adding heat, the apple adding a little sweetness, and fennel for freshness. Now, the MEAT of the review:First things first: the plates were hot! Too many places skip this step - and when hot food hits a cold plate, you are left with cold food. Some breakfast places are guilty of this when it comes to potatoes. A5 Japanese Wagyu - I had reason to celebrate, and I would always be wondering if I never had it. I must be honest, it's not that I didn't like it, but rather I didn't understand it. It was cooked to the perfect requested medium rare, seasoned well, and was superbly marbled. Rather than something that was entirely melted in your mouth, some parts melted, and others needed just a little work. This is not to say it was chewy, but each piece needed a few extra seconds. Maybe this is by design, so it doesn't vanish like an hors d'œuvre? Like I said, something I do not understand. Now, when the server asked how we were enjoying everything, I expressed to her the same sentiment. She asked if I would like to get something else instead. I declined, but the fact that this was possible when I was halfway through a $200 steak was beyond anything I could have ever hoped for. So, no stars lost! I also had the opportunity to nibble on the American Wagyu, and the Filet Mignon. (Thank you, Mom & Dad).The American Wagyu - What I expected from the Japanese. Also seasoned and cooked to perfection, and 110% melt in your mouth. Given, this isn't all that healthy, but unless you occasionally light a cigar with a $100 bill, this isn't an everyday splurge or treat.If you are a fan of leaner cuts, the Filet Mignon was fantastic. You guessed it, also cooked, and seasoned to perfection. Where this one shined was the pure flavor. I've had far too many Filet Mignons that didn't really taste like anything. With this one, one could taste the meat! Also, while being a much learner cut than the American Wagyu, this too was insanely tender and could be cut with a fork!Let me touch on the others quick (character limits - "gah!")Market Greens (mushrooms) - complimentary from the kitchen - Thoroughly enjoyable. The Shallot Dijon Vinaigrette takes the cake in elevating the mushrooms to next level! Grilled Broccolini - This chili and garlic are a masterclass is subtly. They're 100% there, and aren't a cameo or an extra, but more like a recurring character contained within one episode. Some pieces weren't quite as tender as others (stems), but this may be by design. Fries - Fresh, well-seasoned, no complaints. Simplicity done well. Pigs CAN Fly - A lovely and approachable drink, even if [rye] whiskey isn't your thing. The whiskey notes were there but not overpowering, the sweetness was light, and it was some tart and savory notes as well. A splendid, balanced cocktail for whiskey and non-whiskey lovers alike.Bananas Foster- Thoroughly enjoyable even though I. not a fan of bananas. Sauce was a delight with some booziness if I recall correctly. A great combination of textures, flavors, and even temperatures. Crème Brûlée - Some of the best I've had anywhere! There are two simple changes that make this one so spectacular! One, it is wider instead of taller (more of that amazing 'burnt' cream!). Two, the sweetness of the custard is gentle, and didn't feel like eating straight sugar.The service: some of the best I've ever experienced. They did everything in their power so we'd have a fantastic experience. Even including the host helping my mother find the elevator to the restroom and waiting outside to take her back. The vibe is appropriate for a restaurant of this caliber. The lighting is spot on, the music is playing at a tasteful volume, and everything is spotless (of course). 10/10 would recommend to anyone seeking a transformative steak experience, and not a TX Roadhouse (not shade thrown).

As a Hindu of the delicious order, I am extremely picky about the steaks that I decide to consecrate via consumption. Moo delivers. Yes you will pay $100 or more for steak and sides. Yes you will feel conflicted. Yes you will wallow over the bill and cry tears of joy simultaneously. Life is messy, life is complicated. Take a deep breath and at least savor the dinner. You have earned it (at least once/year).

Came here for lunch and had a really enjoyable meal. It was just me so I only sampled a limited number of things, but they were all really delicious. I started with the lobster bisque and they brought some delicious warm buttered rolls with it. It came with a good amount of lobster meat and was silky smooth. Then I had the steak salad, which was really delicious. The steak was fabulous and the salad was a kale salad and a very nice dressing with blue cheese and some nuts and the steak came with onion relish which went beautifully with it. For dessert, I had the lemon sorbet which was perfectly tart and really delicious.

This is a steakhouse called Mooo.... what's a better name?! It's an exquisite and upscale spot in Boston that's great for a special occasion. The boyfriend brought me here for my birthday dinner and I was immediately surprised by the personalized menu they had for me with my name on it. They even held onto it to let you take it home afterwards, but we sadly forgot when we left.To start off, we got some complimentary bread and butter. The butter has a little mooo sign, which was cute. This was decent, nothing too special but nice to have while waiting for your meal to start. For cocktails, I had the Pigs Can Fly ($20), which was a bit too tart for me. The boyfriend had the Old and Cranky ($22), which was essentially an Old Fashioned. Next was the starters and I had the Maine Lobster Bisque ($24) while he had the Classic Caesar Salad ($20). We also shared the Prime Dry-Aged Meatballs ($24). The lobster bisque was amazing with chunks of lobster inside as well. Definitely gotta have some of that seafood when in Boston. The salad was also a huge plate with huge, crunchy croutons. The meatballs were a pass though as it wasn't anything too special and came with 3 pieces.I was already starting to get full already, but I was excited for the main course. I got the Tenderloin of Beef Wellington ($77) while he got the Creekstone Farms Prime Bone-in Dry Aged Ribeye ($95). As a fan of Gordon Ramsey and having had his infamous beef wellington, I was impressed by Jamie Mammano's version of this English dish. The layers between the pastry is beautifully done with the foie gras, spinach, mushroom duxelle, and filet mignon. These layers win this for me over Gordon Ramsey's and that says a lot. I only wish I could've enjoyed this dish more when I was reaching my stomach capacity. We also got a side of Onion Rings ($16), which was perfectly soft inside contrasting the crunchy panko and parmesan crust.Of course we had to finish off with a Classic Creme Brulee ($18). This dessert came out with a birthday writing on it as well, which was nice. It was quite a huge dish, so perfect to share with two or more. Overall, what a meal --food was amazing and service was impeccable. If you're looking to splurge, make a reservation here.

Came here because they use Creekstone high quality premium beef which is halal. It's a farm located in Kansas. I love Creekstone steaks. I had higher expectations. Lobster Mac and cheese was below average. I guess they can learn from the Capital Grille one. The steak was average. The service was pleasant. The area is so nice to take a walk after dinner.

This restaurant is worth the hype. The Beacon Hill location is just one of three locations and I loved my experience there! My partner and I were constantly just in awe of the food and spent almost the entire time talking about how great everything was.I ordered the Dry Aged Ribeye Steak which was juicy and tender but not too fatty, which is usually my concern with ordering ribeyes. We got a fish crudo which was honestly the star of the show. It was a beautiful, unique, and adventurous flavor combination and you could really tell how fresh the fish was. Even the free bread that they gave us blew us away. It was buttery, warm, soft, and I would've definitely paid money for it. We got a Sides Tasting Flight and our favorite was the mashed potatoes and the mushrooms but overall it was amazing! The ambiance is fancy and it's perfect for an occasion. Even better, if you tell them what your occasion is in advance, they'll put it on the menu! We went to celebrate an anniversary and they made the experience very special. The price of the food is expensive and you should be prepared to break the bank but the food was worth the price. You are paying for what you get here! Overall, I would go again as many times as I could. I'm sure the other locations are also as solid as this one!

Mooo continues to be my favorite steakhouse in Boston. Not only is the interior beautiful, but the food here is SO good. It's worth the high price tag imo. In terms of what we ordered:Crispy Calamari: 4.5/5 - crispy, fresh & filled with tart peppers as well. This was so yummy, only thing that could've made it better was a pinch more salt.Truffle Fries: 10/5 - crispy, truffley with just the right amount of cheese on top, these are a must order every time! I find myself craving these.Filet Mignon: 5/5 - you get exactly what you pay for. No frills, just delicious, well-seared and juicy filet. The butter on the side enhances the flavor profile if you're into that. But just the salt + pepper is enough to complement the mignon.Milk & Cookies: 3/5 - Not bad at all, but I've had much better cookies from other places. These cookies are more crispy than soft. Levain is way better. The staff is always professional & attentive, no qualms there. Overall, you definitely can't go wrong with celebrating your special occasions here or just treating yourself out to a nice dinner ~

Came here for a birthday dinner. Was seated in a booth in the front of the restaurant. No white table cloths or anything fancy. They put a space heater next to our table because it was so cold inside...The filet and beef Wellington were so so good. They also have GF rolls which is a plus. Both of us shared a salad, 2 sides, beef Wellington and filet. With only one cocktail each the bill was nearly $300. This just seems totally outrageous and was not worth it. You can get a delicious steak at a different Boston steakhouse that has a way better atmosphere. Moo just overall was NOT worth it.
