We had a wonderful time! It was my first time at Mooo, and after everyone in my extended family has been telling me to go, I will say it did not disappoint. The filet mignon and beef wellington were cooked to PERFECTION, which is especially impressive for the wellington. 11/10 would eat again

Bar Mezzana is a classy establishment. We found the service second to none! It’s difficult to find restaurants these days with the level of service we received here. The gnocchi with octopus was our absolute favorite dish, along with the focaccia and brussels sprouts salad (both so good) and the mussels. I do not recommend the crab pasta … very strange. Watery with actual pickles in it, which made the overall dish very vinegary. They actually took it off our bill when we shared that we did not enjoy the dish. Dessert was fine - nothing to write home about (fig and honey crostata and tiramisù). We used the inKind app and received a $50 credit on this meal. Wonderful experience!
