    Overall, we were very happy with everything at Le Moo. The only thing I would not write this experience as a five out of five is the speed of getting our food. It took quite a while to get our appetizer and soup. And within about two minutes of receiving those items, our entrées arrived. I don’t mind if we are still finishing up our appetizer when we get our entrée, but at this point, we had barely begun. And to be honest, the table really just wasn’t big enough for all of our items at once. Otherwise everything was superb. And even though it took a little bit to get our appetizer and soup, our server was very good. I could tell she was very busy. Also, because they are celebrating their 10th birthday, you get a toast of champagne when they walk you to your table. That was an awesome touch. Thank you so much for that. We will be back for sure!

    Food was amazing and the portions were huge! I highly recommend this place and I am not a huge lover of steak. I ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and the Brussels sprouts for my dinner. I had a taste of my husbands steak, which was so good that I would consider getting steak there.

    This was TRULY the best experience at a restaurant that our group has ever had. Our waiter, Daniel, was an absolute star. He was fantastic- attentive but not pushy, kind, excellent at his job, and just all around the best. The food was unbelievable. We had a variety of seafood, steak, and drinks and it was ALL incredible. Kudos to the chef on all fronts. You also can’t beat the views of the Ohio River! Gorgeous ambiance- sit on the deck if you can! All around 5 stars!!
