One of the best steakhouses in Boston. Everything is delicious from starters to desserts but of course, especially the steak. Have taken my parents for both their birthdays. Servers are knowledgeable and kind. Calm and sophisticated atmosphere.
Food and service good there wasn't much of a dress code or anything enforced here but we liked everything we had. The bone marrow was a unique take and delish. All the sides and the food yummy. Shrimp cocktail that bf has was good and nice presentation steak and butter with sauces cooked perfect and yummy!! He added a lobster and it was good he said but little flavor. I did love attention to detail from staff. Fixing napkins when we got up etc. nice touches. Corn was yum!!!
What an experience! From the attentive service to the quality food, our whole visit was absolutely divine. The tomahawk steak was cooked to perfection and the sides paired so nicely with it! Highly recommend visiting any of their locations!
This place was great! From the second we sat down happy anniversary was printed on the menu which was so nice. Restaurant was very romantic on the inside - dark lighting with candles and such. Service was great, especially for how packed the place was (but the tables were far enough away from each other that it didn't feel cramped). Steaks were phenomenal, the whipped potatoes were also excellent. The chocolate cake was huge and once again they wished us a happy anniversary. The complimentary bread was also delicious, some of the softest rolls we've had. Overall would definitely return if back in Boston, 10/10 experience.
I've always loved Mooo... dating back to when the original Beacon Hill location first opened. If you're staying at XV Beacon, Mooo there is certainly great to have right there. Given the choice, however, I now prefer the modern, polished, almost clubby feel of this location in the Seaport. The restaurant isn't particularly large, but it's a beautifully designed space. For larger groups, they have a few round tables that work especially well, including one that perfectly accommodated our party of seven. You can always count on a great dining experience at any of Chef Jamie Mammano's restaurants. His commitment to the highest quality chow, attentive service, fine wines, and an elegant atmosphere has made him one of Boston's most respected restaurateurs. Our meal here was spectacular. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. Standout starters included the Wagyu Beef Dumplings, Tuna Tartare, and the Dry-Aged Bolognese Lumache. For entrées, we shared several different cuts of steak, all expertly prepared and presented sliced for the table. The Beef Wellington is also fantastic here. The sides are uniformly excellent, but don't miss the Char-Roasted Heirloom Carrots with Honey and the Yukon Gold Potatoes. Desserts are equally impressive. Highly recommend both the Milk & Cookies and the Bananas Foster. I'd like to especially thank our waitress, who provided exceptional service and helped make the evening truly special. We were celebrating my son's graduation, and her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail enhanced what was already a memorable occasion. I also appreciated the excellent service from their new sommelier. Mooo continues to set the standard for the modern Boston steakhouse experience. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Love this restaurant so much. It is such a classy elegant experience from the lightening to all the small touches that elevates the space. It's definitely pricey because it's an upscale restaurant but it's worth every dollar. The steak frites are perfectly seasoned and delicious. The desserts are decadent and delicious. I want to come back to try the bananas foster it looks insane. I definitely recommend this place.
This is place is firing on all cylinders and is apparent the second you walk in. I was greeted right away and luckily they had a spot open at the bar. The bar staff was super attentive and friendly. For my cocktail, I ordered a devils advocate and it was very good. Everything here is pricey, but you get what you pay for here. The lobster bisque was the best I have ever had. The puff pastry top sets it above others I have had. I would go back just for the bisque. For my main, I ordered the beef Wellington and a side of carrots. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The mushrooms along with the steak was a match made in heaven. The carrots were simple, but extraordinary good. Problem was I didn't have much room for them. I would say that my meal was a top 5 for the year...easily. I was really impressed with the staff that were not only handling the busiest time of dinner, but one of Bostons finest decided that 7 PM was a great time for a health inspection. Her presence did slow things down, but totally expected and the staff handled graciously. Boston health department.....use some common sense.
We had been to the original Mooo location in Beacon Hill and had loved the food and upscale vibe. While that was closer to our hotel on this visit, it was near impossible to get a reservation there, so we wound up at the newer Seaport location. The space was just as elegant, but much more industrial. The hostess greeted us and immediately had us seated at a comfortable booth. Our server was very nice and energetic. She asked if we wanted bread service, to which we eagerly agreed. We knew that their buttery, doughy, salted Parker House rolls were phenomenal! We enjoyed our bread with some drinks. I started with a cocktail called Devil's Advocate, which included Ghost Tequila, cucumber, pineapple, and some other ingredients that I am forgetting now. The drink wound up being more strong than it was fruity. I was not a huge fan, so I switched to a glass of the 2023 Atzei 'Saragat' Vermentino from Isola dei Nuraghi, Sardinia, Italy, which I adored! The white wine was complex in flavor, but had a smooth finish with low acidity. It also had a slight effervescence, which was enjoyable. Despite our several rounds of bread service, I was somehow able to finish my entree of the Faroe Island Salmon. The fish was cooked through, as I had asked, but it could have used some salt or seasoning. However, it was served over a delicious blend of summer corn (kernels and puree), heirloom tomatoes, Chantarelle mushrooms, and fresh basil. I heard rave reviews on the steaks from others at the table. Mooo proved to be one of the best and most consistent steakhouse experiences in Boston, if not in general.
Moo Seaport was a great experience overall. The calamari was really good, the rib eye was cooked perfectly, and the swordfish was amazing. The waygu dumplings were outstanding and honestly I could have eaten them as a whole meal. The lobster mac and cheese was a huge disappointment though. It was dry, poorly seasoned, and had no flavor. For an establishment of this caliber that dish should have been incredible, but instead it was a waste of money. I was really excited to try it for my birthday, but it fell completely flat. On the upside, our server Vanessa was amazing. The service was excellent, the decor is beautiful, and the bathrooms were super clean. Price points were what you would expect for this kind of restaurant, so no complaints there. The only two downfalls for me were the mac and cheese and the banana foster. I would never order either of them again, even if they were free. As someone who dines around the city often, I know what to expect from restaurants at this level, and Moo mostly delivered. I will definitely go back, but I will absolutely stay away from the mac and cheese and the banana foster. Everything else was amazing.
Food was really good. Attention to detail re: my celiac/gluten free precautions were great. Steak frites was cooked to the correct temp and the potatoes were rich and hit the spot. Wedge was different, but tasty. The shirley temple was not that good. The dessert! Probably my highlight. Banana desserts are rare, so the banana foster was a treat. Especially because the cake was gluten free. They also had a proper gluten free bread service. Praise be! Lol. The ambiance was okay. Felt very Chicago/dark/moody. More industrial than chic, if that makes sense. Where improvement could be used is in the time from initial seating to the waiter coming to the table. It was at least 15 minutes and I thought that was crazy. Even still, I'd return if back in town.
Moo is hands down our favorite restaurant in the Seaport. The vibe is lively but relaxed. Top notch service starts at check-in. The food somehow always tastes better than the last. We brought my hubby's parents here while they were in town. My MiL started out with the lobster bisque and what a presentation! She said it was delicious. My FIL ordered a filet and his own side of Yukon gold mashed potatoes. We ordered a flight of sides for the table! I ordered the salmon plate and my hubby ordered the lobster. My MIL got a filet as well. For drinks, I went with my usual - devil's advocate. And you know we enjoyed the fresh Parker house rolls with butter. We were too full to enjoy dessert but we took home their lovely chocolates. Everything was perfect per usual. In fact, my FIL said "this is the best meal I've ever had!" Thank you, Moo Seaport for another memorable dinner!
Medium Ribeye is my order. Any steak you get at this restaurant will be great! The staff are very accommodating and welcoming. Recommend the Milk and Cookies for dessert. The restaurant made our engagement night so special, I called ahead to let them know I'd be asking the big question and when we arrived after our proposal at Seaport Harbor, the restaurant had printed our names with a special celebration note on top. It was so sweet, the menu is now a souvenir of our engagement night.
First time coming to Mooo in Seaport and was very surprised at how full it was for a Monday night. The main dining area is slightly dark, but had a romantic vibe for a date night. The menu has an wide variety of options for appetizers and entrees for the steak as well as non-steak lover. All of the food items we ordered were delicious. Steaks were perfectly cooked all around. The American Wagyu Cap steak was extraordinary and melted in our mouths. The filet was also really good and flavorful. Sides of broccolini and lobster Mac and cheese were good, but thought the broccolini could be more flavorful. Drinks were great and reasonably priced. The service overall was good, a little slow but it was a very busy Monday which i wasn't sure if they expected the crowds. Our server however was very friendly and we didn't have any issues at all during our service. Looking forward to returning!

Mooo was freakishly expensive and I understand why. The service was great. Our server was super sweet and made our experience really chill. The waters were also filled up every single time they were low. The food came out quick too. Table bread: yummy and so cute French fries: delicious. Great fries but, tbh, more expensive then I would have liked. There are many similar fries in the city Filet mignon: incredible. A really, really good steak. Cooked perfectly. Loved the brown sauce I got with it but I don't remember what it's called lol. Asparagus: good... my gf liked it more than me I think. Really soft which was fun but not all too flavored Special treat: we were celebrating graduation so they gave us a little plate with three chocolate covered marshmallows and a "congrats" idk if they do this for everyone but it was soooo cute and much appreciated. I would happily come back here again for a special occasion. About $100 per person which isn't the worst read more
What a beautiful restaurant! I felt like I drove from New York, threw my stuff into my hotel room and ran to Mooo... (How many dots are there in the title?) Somehow I drove to Boston while they're still having a wicked winter in April. I'm cold and wet, I check in with the hostess stand and I want to get into a nice Bourbon Cocktail as soon as possible. First off, what is with these prices?! Everything is priced, I think even higher than New York City. An Iceberg Wedge is $23 bucks?? The funny part is, the place was packed out on a Wednesday night. I read the menu online so I know what I want to order, there are two Sirloin Steaks on the menu, grass fed and prime. I want to see what my waiter is going to say so I chill. Speaking of, there is no description of how the meat is sourced at Mooo. Is it USDA Prime beef? Is there an aging process? How are the steaks cooked? The website says Chef/Owner Jamie Mammano uses his culinary expertise to create classic, yet modern steakhouse dishes. Great! I still want to know about the steaks. A waiter comes to the table and drops off four hot Parker Rolls. Next, my waiter comes to the table. I order a glass of Rioja, a side of Broccolini and I said Sirloin Steak. Very good sir. $59 for both Sirloin steaks, I'm not sure what he told the kitchen but it would have been nice to know more about the steak cut. My wine? Perfection The Broccolini? It has charred bits on top that made this very cravable. Now add the Spicy Calabrian Chili & Garlic? Incredible chef'd up side dish. The Sirloin? Cooked to perfection. That's the great thing about a Sirloin, it's a nice big cut to fill your belly. There was also a Sirloin with au poivre, I wasn't in the mood to have something too peppery. The herb butter that came with the steak, I laid on the flavor! Very good. One of the Sirloins that was served to me, the chef cooked it just right. Overall, I had an enjoyable meal. After dinner, I'm shown a dessert menu. My hotel is close to The North End and Modern Pastry is calling me. Mooo...? I had a great meal but in all honesty, I would of liked to drink a beer at the bar and have a chef'd up Mooo.. Burger. Can you work on that Chef/Owner Jamie Mammano? read more
The food was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service was great. Our server Hector was super knowledgeable and gave us plenty of room and time. However the servers assistant was very quick to grab plates off the table even after we replied that we were going to keep eating it. We felt rushed by her. The atmosphere was very intimate, and warm yet comfortable. In all it was a good experience and we will certainly be back again. read more

I'm not a huge steak person but I'd rate this place as definitely worth a special occasion. The inside is classic steakhouse decor, all dark mood lighting and wood paneling. Here were my favorites: 1. Parker house rolls that they start you off at the beginning. 5/5. 10/10. So, so hard to resist filling up on these before all the other dishes start rolling out. This was perhaps the best bite of the night. 2. East coast oysters: super fresh and large. My heart hurts when ordering oysters at such a premium because there are some good $1 oyster specials and it's not too much work/expensive to buy a bunch and shuck yourself, but these were excellent. 3. Roasted mushrooms side: super decadent and rich. Everything else we ordered was incredible and reflected extensive attention to detail - for instance, the Caesar had these beautiful garlic croutons and generous sheets of Parm, while the complimentary dessert made in-house were these pretty dark-chocolate covered marshmallows with a graham cracker bottom. The octopus app had neat little roasted slivers of tomato and potato that rivaled the octopus itself. Things I would skip next time: the creme brûlée. I was stuffed beyond measure but still wanted something sweet. It was good but I was too full to truly appreciate it; plus, they give you a free sweet bite. I would definitely sit at the bar and get the burger. Plus the fries. PARKING: Unless you have a parking permit, there are virtually no street options; we spent a long time circling around the restaurant before giving up and parking in a lot about 10 minutes away. read more
The experience at Moo... was overall wonderful! The ambiance is very trendy, clean, and up to tasteful. Our service was kind and very attentive, but the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I'be honestly had better food at restaurants for half the price. That being said, the lobster bisque itself was unbeatable. Truly to die for and everyone wanted more. If you go here, make sure that everyone gets their own bowl of it. Fan favorite! The grilled octopus was so dry and flavorless I would definitely recommend avoiding it. The Filey Mignon carpaccio on the other hand was good, and I would potentially order it again. I had the sea bass ceviche as a main instead of an app because the bisque was very filling, and I thought it was delicious. If you're eating light, I'd recommend it! Some friends got the steak and said it was a good steak, nothing crazy but definitely the kind of leftovers you'd take home at least. To end it, the bananas foster was exceptional, and if you're debating over dessert, i'd definitely swing for that option! read more

This is an upscale and trendy steakhouse with a romantic atmosphere. You need to walk up a flight of stairs to get access and the toilets are located downstairs which is not ideal. The service is impeccable, fluid and very professional. I was not crazy about their steak tartare where the chunks of meat were too big and it lacks capers and a fresh mayonnaise. Their fillet mignon was cooked to perfection and I absolutely loved their cream of spinach. Their truffle fries is also a must try. They have a great wine list. Their Caymus 50 years was a thing of beauty; full body rich in berries and with an aromatic spicy finish. Overall we had a great diner with Harrison and Sean to celebrate these two Bostonian freshmen. The restaurant is in a dark feutre decor where you can barely read anything. read more

Had a noteworthy and memorable birthday dinner. Ambience is dark. It was funny seeing everybody with their iPhone lights on reading the menu. We were in good company. We got dressed up, but people wearing khakis with the fleece vests was acceptable. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very attentive. We were given a happy birthday menu. The A6 Wagyu absolutely melted in our mouth. The asparagus: every spear was perfectly cooked. The mashed potatoes were perfection. The mushrooms were phenomenal. The A4 Wagyu was also terrific and a perfect size. One of the best meals we've ever had. read more

Tried this steakhouse in the Seaport area in Boston we usually go to Abe and Louis's for a steak but we took a friend recommendation. We wanted to try something new. It was fine. It was just a Steakhouse. Nothing crazy probably won't go back. We'll stick to Abe and Louie's next time. read more

Outstanding! My wife and I went here last night and Mooo exceeded our expectations! It was our first time having Beef Wellington and it was excellent! Our server, Bruno, was extremely quickly and attentive, please give Bruno a bonus! The manager visited our table and we mentioned we were visiting from Austin. When I he ultra-delicious Bananas Foster was presented at the table they were kind enough to write "Enjoy Boston" in cursive on the plate! Please do yourself the favor and visit Mooo! read more

Have gone twice with my wife. Once at a work event her company paid and once for our 1 year wedding anniversary. Paid $250 and kind of disappointed value to food just wasn't there. Neither of us drink so this is without drinks. More a 3.5 star review but it doesn't allow me to do that so gave it 4 stars. Both times the service was excellent and we had to make reservations. Place is very nice but super pricey for what it is. If someone else is paying for it or it's an anniversary fine. It's just more you are paying for the experience and the location. You buy your entree and everything else is additional. Had the Prime New York sirloin and it was good... but I have a place locally that sells it with sides for $35 and taste much better. For $60 I want the steak to make me sing. The previous time I had a dry aged steak and it was $100 and maybe I am just not super fancy but did not find it all that special. For the price. Is it better than Texas Road house. Of course is it but 4-8x better than Texas road house. No it is not. Wife wanted to go because she absolutely loved the Beef Wellington the 1st time. She loved it the 2nd time. We drove up from Connecticut as the places that make Beef Wellington we gone to locally defiantly freeze it then reheat it. the one here was great. The sides are decent size but $15-30 they should be. The deserts tasted good too. We also had the appetizer of bone marrow and Grilled octopus both tasted excellent but again for $30 for an appetizer it should be excellent. Had better at places that cost $20 or less for each. Really comes down to it being super expensive and the taste while good is no where near what you expect for something that expensive. read more

HOLY COW. No pun intended ;) This is one of my all-time favorite steakhouses in Boston. The quality of the food, service and ambiance are top notch. Yes it is pricey and also yes, it is worth every penny! My husband and I came here recently on a double date with some friends. We started with amazing soft and warm pillowy dinner rolls, then moved onto oysters and tuna tartare. Both were excellent; served extremely cold on ice and tasted fresh as can be. For my entree, I ordered the filet mignon, medium-rare. It came out PERFECT. The flavor along with the side of butter they give you to put on your steak just melts in your mouth. We ordered the "mooo flight" for our sides which included mashed potatoes, fries, mushrooms and creamed spinach. There was plenty to go around for 4 people. We also all shared dessert: chocolate cake, milk & cookies and creme brûlée. All of them were TO-DIE-FOR! Softest cookies I've ever had in my life. Creme brûlée was outstanding and I don't even like creme brûlée. And omg that chocolate cake with those little chocolate pearls on top - fantastic! Do yourself a favor and come here for a fancy night out! read more

The hostess was extremely accommodating and a pleasure. I wanted to sit at the bar, but they were full. They found me a table right away. Steak was small but cooked perfectly. Service was a little slow but my server Chris was very attentive. The lobster Mac was amazing. Over all the place had a great atmosphere. read more

I recently revisited Mooo in Seaport for another birthday celebration which was my husbands this time, and once again, it proved to be a standout choice. The menu offers a variety of options, from classic ribeyes to more adventurous selections, all of which maintain the high standards we've come to expect. The dishes we ordered this time: Salmon tartar appetizer special- not your average salmon tartar, I'm not sure what the sauce was but it was delicious. Highly recommend this app if they have it. Calamari - one of the best calamari I've had! The batter was seasoned perfectly and the crunch lasted till we ate the last piece! Also love how they provided not one but two sauces to go with it. American Wagyu Tomahawk for two (come with two sides and sauces of your choice) - this could easily feed 3 people. The steak was carved tableside, we were impressed with how the manager was able to cut and presented it so well. The quality of the steak was exceptional, it was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. Highly get recommend this dish if you're in the mood to share with your partner but if you do don't order too much apps as we had to take home half of our steak since we were so full! Lol What consistently sets Moo apart is not just the food, but the outstanding service. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, and they make every guest feel special, which is particularly appreciated on special occasions. It is my new favorite steak house in Boston. read more

This place knows how to do steak right. Mine came out perfectly medium and still super tender. The grilled veggies on the side were tasty too and not overcooked like some spots. Our server checked in often but wasn't too much. I liked the low lighting and calm setting, good for a relaxed meal. Not the cheapest but the food made it worth it. read more

Overall pretty good experience. We came earlier than our reservation and they were able to seat us immediately! The place is very pretty and a lot more lively than I thought it'd be. We ordered calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious and so crispy, some of the best I've ever had. For sides we got mashed potatoes which were good but could've used more flavor and we got tater tots which were INCREDIBLE. also the portions for all of these dishes were great sizes, we took some tater tots home. The steaks were okay. The meat was great in them but there just wasn't much flavor, which is a bummer when you're paying over $60 for it. So I'm glad I tried it but probably wouldn't go back just since I like some more flavor in my steaks. read more
Delicious!!! Went here for the first time for my BF's Birthday. It was quite pricey, so ... I can't say I'll be back anytime soon. However, if I had all the money in the world, I'd be back in a jiffy. Ambience: LOVE!!! So classy!!! As soon as you step in the door, you know it's a classy joint. The stairs are kind of a pain ... but typical Boston. The inside is very spacious with a huge bar. The seats are super comfortable. Most with pillows. I would say that a negative would be the size of the tables. I really felt rushed eating due to the servers wanting to clear the table to make room for more dishes, which wouldn't have been a problem if the table was a tad bigger. Food: Once again, very pricey ... but enjoyed everything we got. It was all cooked superbly ... flavorful but not too flavorful. Serving size was ok. Everything is a la crate, which is always a bummer, especially if the serving size is on the smaller side. We got the Waygu Dumplings based on other reviews, and they were to die for!!! Definitely recommend!!! I chose the smallest filet, since I don't eat much meat, and it was perfect!!! I picked out the truffle sauce for it, which was amazing!!! Definitely recommend!!! We also got the beef tartare. I didn't have any of it, but the presentation of it was beautiful. My BF got the beef wellington. We also got a few sides and a couple of desserts. I got the crime brûlée, which was actually a very generous portion. He got the cookies and cream and was not too fond of it. I guess the cookies weren't cooked enough? Service: Other reviews mentioned that they felt short on service. Honestly, I didn't feel that way at all. I thought the service was superb. We went on a Monday though, so maybe the weekends are a bit more hectic? All in all ... this place is damn good!!! I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but it was so freaking expensive. Like ... I can't go out to eat for awhile. Maybe I'm just poor, but I don't really understand why??? Why so much?! Also, although they mentioned my BF's Birthday several times ... even wrote it on the menu, they charged for his dessert. Just think they could have accommodated HIS dessert for his Birthday, especially since our bill was +$350. Like YOWZA!!!!! read more

Disclaimer: This was for a Monday night visit and as part of a large (14-person) party--not that either is rationale for being less than stellar--but mileage may vary (read: improve) for a smaller party later in the week. Burger: Let's start with the good, because this burger was very good. Note that it's only available at the bar, as the staff will repeatedly tell you, and note that it's $32. But it's thick, rich, cooked perfectly to desired temp, very well seasoned, and boasting two thick-cut bacon strips that flirt with crispness on the surface and yield substantial juices--much like the burger--from within. Cheese barely melted. Condiment simple, showcasing the high end beef. What the beef was, nobody at the bar could tell me. But it was very good. Crisp, thin fries (frozen) and pickles (tasty but mushy) included. Apps: A bunch of us tried a bunch of apps: some good, some not, some good but not worth the price. Yes, it's a steakhouse, so steakhouse prices are warranted, but so is quality. - Meatballs: decent, small, nice flavor, pricy - Wagyu Dumplings: tasty but minuscule - Octopus: excellent seafood and grilling; unappealing (chopped up) presentation - Calamari: generous on overall portion, each piece very tiny, crisp and competent, no more, no less - Shrimp Scampi: not technically an app but an optional steak add-on at 4 for $29: tasty but tame of garlic and borderline minuscule Aged Ribeye Steak: Cooked to temp, competently prepared and presented with no bells or whistles. Not particularly tender or flavorful--and no aged flavor--but no glaring issues. Basically a pretty good steak at the price of a great steak, perhaps a product of the Monday team. Lack of age flavor aside, nothing really wrong with it, just not comparable to similar steaks at similar places at similar prices. Sides: Tried a bunch. Kinda small, kinda plain. Exception: (the non-creamed version of) the spinach, which was superb. Service: No glaring issues. Just slow, robotic, and lacking personality and the kind of panache you expect at an upscale steakhouse. Atmosphere: Modern, elegant, and sophisticated. A joy. Overall: Enough promise to give it a try on a weekend, but not in any rush. Perhaps a burger at the bar and a few apps, and do some visual scouting on the steaks. read more

Loved the steak here. The meat was high quality, cooked exactly as I ordered, and had a beautiful charred crust. The sauce was rich and complemented the flavors well. The staff was attentive, and the restaurant had a nice, upscale feel. A great place for a satisfying meal. read more

I hosted my birthday dinner with friends here and the ambience was giving dark and moody. I started with the classic Caesar which was fresh but nothing special. For drinks, I had the Raventós i Blanc di nit rosé and it tasted really nice. My main entree consisted of the Maine lobster with broccolini. The lobster was a little dry and overcooked. The wagyu beef dumplings were good but also tasted like they might have been microwaved due to its texture. My milk and cookies had to be my favorite overall but also, how can you mess up milk and cookies? Overall, for dining experience, ambience, and service, I give this place an 8/10, but for these prices, the food quality certainly did not match. read more
Easily a 4 star restaurant with one criticism for the uncomfortable feeling I had of meeting the hostess timeline she emphasized, of needing the table back at a specific time. I called for a same day reservation to arrive by 5:30 with a party of four. The hostess was great and accommodated with the caveat that the table must be returned by 7:30. Unfortunately my full party arrived late because there is another MOO restaurant that they ended up going to. Two of us ordered appetizers but naturally waited to order food with the others. For the caliber of the restaurant, I just don't expect to be told you need a table back by a specific time if I'm spending $200 plus dollars for two, at a table of four. The restaurant is on a quiet street, has valet, but parking on the street is residential only. The inside is modern, bathrooms located down the stairs from the restaurant so plan accordingly, and the staff was friendly without hovering and were available when needed. The food was very good! I'd drive the 2 hours to come back for the steak. Had the lobster mac which was good but a tad bit too al dente. The calamari was seasoned well and the sauces it came with were a good accompaniment. The Wellington was stuffed with a large piece of mushroom and the foie gras and spinach. The Wellington steak was cooked nicely but the large piece of mushroom and foie gras made the dough soggy and took away from the steak. Another at my table loved it just as it was (it was her first beef Wellington). It is a solid Wellington just not my guest's favorite ever. Still good just not great. As we were coming up on our timeline to hand the table over we didn't get the chance to have dessert but I asked if we could stay and they did say it was ok and gave us menus. But since I made an agreement, I honored it and we left just after 7:30. I'd go back. read more

I came here on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. We arrived late but they were still able to seat us. Inside was dimly lit and aesthetically pleasing. If you had a good flash, there were lots of places to capture an instagram worthy picture. It was also pretty busy inside, which I expected for a Saturday night. Our waiter was really friendly and helpful when it came down to the menu. I ended up ordering the Japanese wagyu beef dumplings, the linguine that came with gulf shrimp, the truffled Parmesan fries and the broccolini. Because I'm greedy, I also tried the calamari, the classic Caesar, the beef Wellington and the lobster. I was mostly excited about the Japanese wagyu beef dumplings since I'm obsessed with the ones at Nobu, but was left a little disappointed. The dumpling wrapper tasted as if it had been microwaved and the texture turned a little tough. They also came out room temperature and not warm at all. The linguine was just okay and nothing special. The truffle fries were standard. I enjoyed them. Same with the broccolini. The classic Caesar was just that and nothing special. My friend really enjoyed her beef Wellington. I thought it was tasty and flavorful (my 1st time trying that). The lobster was also good. It was cooked perfectly and still juicy. I also really liked the dinner rolls that were brought to the table and could have eaten all 4 by myself. Overall the meal was pretty basic but the prices were not. There wasn't anything that I ate that I haven't had better elsewhere. I probably won't be returning unless I'm forced to go for someone else's birthday or special event. They do offer great service though! read more
I've officially found my new favorite steakhouse, and Mooo definitely will make the list of my top 10 dining experiences in 2024. My fiance has mentioned Mooo in passing previously, but once we had a chance for a Boston weekend trip, I knew we had to stop by. Even before I get to the food, I have to commend Mooo on their EXCEPTIONAL service. The entire staff was incredibly professional and so well coordinated - by far some of the best service I've ever seen. They take allergies seriously here, and every person is well informed of any allergies within your party. Truly top notch service. My fiance and I scoped out the menu well before our reservation, and we decided on the Maine Lobster Bisque ($24), Roasted Bone Marrow ($29), Prime Bone-In Dry Aged Ribeye ($95), American Wagyu Cap ($105), Broccolini ($15), and the Mooo Steak Sauce ($4). Our waiter kindly offered to split the bisque for us in the kitchen, and each bowl came with its own puff pastry!! This was BY FAR some of the best lobster bisque I've had - so flavorful without being too rich. The roasted bone marrow app is a MUST. Although it seems like its on the pricier end for bone marrow, it really comes with all the fixings. The roasted garlic, bordelaise, pickled onions, and bone marrow on top of the bread made for THE perfect bite. They don't skimp on the bone marrow portions either. As for the steaks, I'm convinced that you can't go wrong with any of the steaks, but we really enjoyed our selections. The temperature on the steaks were perfect and as requested. When I say this was a proper steak, I really mean this was EXCELLENT. Broccolini made for a great side - the char, calabrian chili, and garlic were all perfectly balanced. Everything we ordered was amazing, and the timing allowed for a relaxed dinner. The ambiance inside is really fitting for a romantic, intimate dinner. Highly highly recommend Mooo for celebrations and special occasions.They also have space for private events downstairs. Truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, and I can't wait to be back! read more

My moood every time I eat at Mooo.... is 10/10. A steakhouse is expected to have great steaks. And surely Mooo has the greatest steaks. But I was not expecting the baked goods here to stun me like it has. The complimentary dinner rolls here are dangerously delicious. They are fluffy, piping hot, buttery, soft and topped with flaky salt. The puff pastry on the lobster bisque, the burger buns and the cookies.... To the pastry chef in the kitchen you deserve a heavy round of applause. OK- now back to the steaks... albeit a few not entirely textbook medium rare steaks from time to time (they were apologetic and always made it up to us when it happened) the steaks here are always brought out with a sexy crust and are perfectly seasoned every single time. I am admittedly a purist at heart and find myself loving dishes that don't do too much let the preparation of the ingredients and the individual ingredients shine. Mooo gets this. The steaks are not drowned in truffle oil or smothered with unnecessary flavored butters but are presented simply and simple is best. The sides follow suit and are seasoned gracefully. The Yukon potatoes and exotic mushrooms are without fail a must order for me. If you want to try more sides the Mooo side flight is great value. Another honorable mention is the bone marrow. It is almost always packed here especially at the Seaport location from corporate functions, conference go-ers and working professionals coming for dinner so be sure to make reservations if you don't want to be turned away. There is a medium sized bar with seating that you can try and wait for but the service definitely isn't as great compared to the tables. They have a sommelier to help with wine pairings and we absolutely loved the bottle she picked out for us last time. On really good days they cut no corners in service- you'll have the manager accompanying your steaks to check if it is cooked to your liking, coursed dishes without asking so you can enjoy your meal without feeling rushed and a mention about a preference for more coarse ground black pepper turned into a dish of fresh coarsely ground pepper brought to the table just for me. The note on top of the menus for when you're celebrating an occasion is also such a nice touch! I never leave Mooo without dessert. The dessert that has captured my stomach is the milk and cookies which is basically a hug personified into homemade thin cookies with a milkshake. For the longest time I struggled when people would ask about my favorite steakhouse (I've tried a lot of steakhouses in the greater Boston area but only found out about Mooo.... 2 years ago). Ever since my first experience (that fateful night in 2022) no other steakhouse has compared to Mooo.... I now confidently say that Mooo.... is my favorite steakhouse and I would highly, highly recommend them to everyone! read more
We came here for my birthday on Friday night. The place was busy, but service was smooth and professional. The interior was low lit and give it a fancy vibe. The food was amazing. We got the 48oz Tomahawk Steak, Lobster Mc n Cheese, Truffle Parmesan Fries, Apple Tart, and Beef Wellington. The Tomahawk was delicious with a perfect burnt layer in it. Beef Wellington was beautiful to eat. Lobster Mac n cheese was creamy and delicious. Apple Tart was warm, sweet and amazing. They gave us homemade smore. Overall, worth every penny. can't wait to come back read more
