    We had a wonderful dining experience at Le Moo. Jennifer was our server and she was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. We had the lettuce wedge, ribeye (prime)-cooked to perfection, with the fried potato cakes. The food was exceptional and the turnaround time was very quick. We frequently dined at this establishment when it was the old K.T.'s, so it brought back many memories. They made awesome updates, but kept the wonderful nostalgic ambiance. I highly recommend dining at Le Moo.

    So much to love about 211 Clover. It’s always so put together yet unassuming. Like a great outfit almost. Had a nice Christmas lunch with a girlfriend. Cocktails and the shrimp salad were light and refreshing. Warmed up with the lentil soup. We were in a small room with a groups of ladies having a birthday lunch. So it was loud, but that’s to be expected. Lovely afternoon.
