Nestled in Beacon Hill, Mooo is an upscale steakhouse blending classic cuts with modern flair, from wagyu dumplings to seafood delights, all served with meticulous care in a chic yet cozy setting.
"Mooo is the textbook example of a Beacon Hill steakhouse. It’s in a historic hotel that George Washington might’ve slept in, and the menu features a $190 Japanese A5 Wagyu sirloin with a bone marrow add-on. While this place is caviar-fancy, the bar area stays a little looser. You can’t go wrong either way, but we often find ourselves at the bar, especially if, say, our best friend needs a little post-breakup consolation over cocktails and slabs of meat." - tanya edwards
"This renovated warehouse space has seen a few restaurants come and go, but Mooo is finally the right fit. They’ve got a Beacon Hill location, but the glossy interiors and high-ceiling Seaport spot suit the steakhouse better. The menu combines usual steakhouse things with more memorable detours like devastatingly rich wagyu beef dumplings and mushroom bisque baked in a flaky pastry. All of that makes this a perfect choice for celebrating finally finishing grad school or a big birthday where you want to ball out for some $300 wagyu that’s carved tableside. When it comes to the actual meat, the prime au poivre can’t be beat, because this peppery sauce could make even an old shoe taste good. " - tanya edwards
"“For a mouthwatering steak that’s sure to satisfy my cravings, I go to Moo. With top-quality cuts and expertly prepared dishes, it’s a great place for steak lovers. My personal favorite is the wagyu steak.” — Roshawn Drane" - Erika Adams
"Looking for food and drink? Mooo.... (three O’s, four periods) on the first floor takes the best parts of steakhouses (grass-fed beef, a killer dessert list, a solid brunch) and distills them into something that works for a boutique hotel of this scale. Not too keen on getting dressed up for dinner? Don't worry; the entire menu can be delivered directly to your door."
"Upscale local chain Mooo (from the team behind Back Bay bistro Mistral, Italian spot Sorellina, and more) has all the steakhouse classics — filets, ribeyes, sirloins, steamed asparagus, creamed spinach; you get the point — but it also offers the trappings of a more-modern chophouse, such as wagyu beef in steak and dumpling form and an extensive seafood section. Go for the steak; stay for the yellowfin tuna tartare. In addition to this Beacon Hill original, find Mooo locations in the Seaport and Burlington." - Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle
