There were 4 of us and we sat in a very comfortable booth. The food was expensive but very good.

Here's We dined at Mooo while staying at XV Beacon and came away with mixed feelings…read more The positives first: the food was excellent. The steaks were expertly prepared, the sides were very good, and the service was professional, attentive, and polished from start to finish. The wine list was also thoughtfully curated, with plenty of excellent choices. Unfortunately, the ambiance did not match the quality of the food or the prices. We measured the noise level throughout dinner at approximately 76-81 dB, making conversation difficult without raising our voices. For a restaurant where steaks range from around $76 to over $200 for Wagyu, I expected a more refined, relaxed atmosphere. I was also surprised by how casually many guests were dressed. I have no objection to casual attire in general, but at this price point I was expecting more of a special-occasion dining experience. Instead, many diners were wearing Bermuda shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers, which made the atmosphere feel more like a busy upscale neighborhood restaurant than a luxury steakhouse. If you're looking for outstanding food and excellent service, Mooo delivers. If you're looking for a quiet, elegant fine-dining experience where you can enjoy a conversation over dinner, you may be disappointed.

I'd heard of Sam LaGrassa's for years but had never managed to make it there. My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

Much better than my experience 8 years ago, mostly because the service and cleanliness seemed…read morebetter. The food was very solid. I ordered a tom yum soup ($6) to start -- though it came after the main -- and a pad see ew with vegan beef ($15) for my main. The food came out in under 5 minutes! Both dishes seemed more like Chinese-style attempts at Thai dishes; or in the case of the pad see ew, this seemed more like the classic beef chow fun that you can get at Cantonese spots. Regardless, judged on their own merit, the food was very good.

Nestled above the heart of Chinatown -- in what could be an artist's charming top floor studio loft…read more-- is My Thai Vegan Café, a modern veg take on traditional Thai dishes that feature an impressive array of shredded veggies and mock meats tossed into a wok. Here are some important distinctions to know for my fellow veg foodies: If you are the type of vegetarian who generally avoids Thai food because of the sneaking suspicion every dish has fish sauce, then this place is truly paradise. However, for people used to eating Thai food, it should be noted that this is not an authentic Thai eatery -- it is Vietnamese-owned with a Chinese staff, and I find that most of the dishes have a more traditional Vietnamese palate. I am writing this as a person who's consumed a lot of Thai food and couldn't help but make comparisons. The "fish sauce" is a combination of vinegar, chili sauce, and sugar--it works as a substitute and is generally offered as a side to garnish your main entrees, but those who eat Thai regularly will notice a subtle difference lacking in the pungent umami realm. The mock meats are either made with textured soy (chicken and beef), vital wheat gluten, or konjac root starch (same as shirataki noodles) for mock shrimp, which can have a gummy texture. For newcomers, the curries come highly recommended by staff, especially the mango yellow curry or pumpkin curry. Most tables also order the fried wonton appetizers and summer rolls. The wok noodles are a classic, but lack the same savoriness as traditional Thai eateries, I'd recommend the Pad Woon Sen plus, which comes with an assortment of mock shrimp, beef, tofu and chicken for just $1 more. I also tried the Tom Kha, which had a smooth coconut broth, but lacked herbal kick and tasted like it was missing the deep steep of lemongrass and galang root -- adding lime juice gave it a nice brightness and burst of flavor. Lots of reviews also recommend the birds nest, which is a fried nest of shredded taro with vegetables and protein inside. Do not order the Tom Yum, maybe it was an off day but the soup was a sodium bomb and couldn't be consumed. The restaurant is located up two flights of stairs in what feels like an intimidating, gritty stairwell tagged with graffiti. The space itself is warm and inviting though, decorated with lots of plants and string lights. The staff is friendly and attentive upon walking in and taking your order but then leaves you to enjoy your meal after serving. The dishes come in hot, large portions and every entree is plenty for two moderately hungry people. The pricing is fair, with most dishes between $15-25. I recommend going with a group and getting several items to share.

Nice decor at the bar. You can order from the same food menu. I ordered the nana's egg sandwich in a pita - it was essentially an omelette sandwich with boursin, olive tapenade, cucumber, tomato and schug which is a green hot sauce which I got on the side. It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!

We ordered just 1 crab cake, tasted it and had to order another! It was probably the best crab cakes I've ever had and Ive been to a lot of restaurants all of the world. It was full of real crab, the crab was cooked just right and there was an outer crust that added a slight crunchy texture, and the sauce on the side perfected the taste. I also ordered the lobster, shrimp and scallops for my main entree and it was also delicious. It was actually more like a soup which was surprising. My niece ordered the scallops angry style which had a little spicy kick to it. She allowed me to have a taste and it was also delicious. The scallops were perfectly prepared and the sauce was so tasty. Prices were a little expensive but the meal was well worth it. Overall a great experience!
