Our waitress was attentive. She did a good job! The food was fantastic. They serve cornbread before the meal and it was like having dessert. They serve it warm with butter. I had the shrimp and halibut cheeks with polenta. Michael had the steak with crab. His meal came with a macaroni cake which was delicious. Michael’s steak was cooked perfectly and my meal was wonderful. Reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant! After our dinner we sat at the bar and had an after dinner drink!

I want to thank Regional Manager Melissa for the outstanding attention she gave us! We showed up for brunch and didn't realize it was not offered on weekdays. She read my disappointment and went above a beyond to ensure I was going to love the experience anyway :). BOY am I glad we stayed. She recommended the French Onion Soup and it was probably the best thing we've had in a long time! Delicious!!! We'll be back, and often! Go see them...Le Moo is awesome!!

Awesome restaurant, we had a reservation at 8pm and went an hour early to sit at the bar and have a drink. We were able to find two seats together without issues. Hostess even offered to sit us early if we wished. Once we made our way to the dining room we were greeted by a very nice waitress who went above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Everything we ate was amazing. Will go back, best steakhouse in Louisville.
