Mo's has a great location. Right across the street from the Grand Ave Mall, around the corner from the Riverside Theatre, minutes from anything downtown.
But now that I have been here, I won't have to come back.
Sure the food is good, the place looks great, the view is fun - but it was just tooooo loud.
This upscale restaurant would be ideal for a group of friends celebrating an event or a business meal where someone else is buying. Not ideal for a romantic dinner since you'll never hear those sweet nothings from your love. You'll be yelling across the table saying, "What did you say?"
Just annoying.
We had three people at one table and we could not hear each other talk - plus it was only a THURSDAY night. Imagine the noise on a Saturday night!
Mo's specialties are steaks - priced about $30 - $40. The fixins are a la carte. The Surf and Turf can set you back about $90.
The quality of food was over all GOOD - not the best steaks in town, but good.
The wait staff was quick and knowledgeable, but not extremely friendly. The "I'm just doing my job" routine.
On a positive note - this place looks great. A dark, cozy feel, trendy artwork and lots of windows so you can enjoy the view of Plankinton. But the downside is . . . all those windows! Voices and music are bouncing off the glass making the place one big echo chamber.
Reservations are pretty much needed to eat here. But you can call ahead the same day and probably get in - we did.
Parking is not great! Be prepared to park and walk to this location - but then again, maybe you'll get lucky and get that spot right in front!
I'm giving Mo's a three star - based on food alone. It was an experience, glad we finally tried this place but we won't go back.
