    been here 3 times now - the only challenge is getting a reservations. With a focus on meats, all are delicious and the servers we've had have been fantastic, even to offering samples of tap beers to help us make a selection.

    We loved our dining experience at Moody's! The food was top notch, the staff knowledgeable and Josh the owner/chef came to our table and spoke extensively with us about his passion for his food/restaurant. We will happily go back to Moody's. Make sure you book in advance!!

    We had reserved Moody's about six weeks in advance and then confirmed our reservation on the day. When we arrived they had somehow given our table away or misplaced our reservation. What followed was poor behavior by the hostess who tried to push our party into the deli section; after a heated discussion somehow a table opened up ? No explanation ? By this time I was exasperated and the evening was effectively spoiled for a special birthday celebration. The food is good (pork belly and wagyu prime rib), though the portions are small and very fully priced. Our waiter was excellent and he desperately tried to make up for the front desks comedy of errors ...... (polite term for truly messing our evening up). I cannot recommend Moody's to anyone as they might be treated in the same disdainful manner.

    Went with the mindset to enjoy meat and not worry about cholesterol. We tried 3 cheeses and 3 meats and all were excellent. Very tasty. We also enjoyed a creative flatbread and shrimp appetizer. Highly recommend a visit.

    I went to The Backroom and Moody's with a group of 4 friends and, at the end of the evening, agreed we could barely hear each other and would be getting together at a different restaurant next time. We also had a constant cold draft blowing on us and the food was mediocre - way overpriced for the quality.

    Just not the same experience as previous times. Maybe all the press and hype has finally got to their heads. I must say that every other experience there had been great, but last night was average. Their service was lacking. Food was brought out cold throughout the evening- cold flatbreads, meatballs and steaks! Menu items not available during peak hours..The portions for their meats and cheeses have gotten smaller with such high prices. Their wine selection is poor and overpriced for the glass. As I said it was not like this always, but feel as though their quality has gone down over the past few months. Always had looked forward to going there, but not so much anymore.

    The food is great! It's small - I feel too close to neighbor tables, and it can be hard to hear your dining partner talking. I try to go early, before it gets too loud.But the food is sooooooo good.

    This place is magic. Last visit we started with the pork & pistachio pate, wild boar salami, and Beecher's cheddar - all super tasty. Great textures and very yummy! For our entrees, we had the Bacon & Eggs pasta dish and the Cassoulet. The Bacon & Eggs was delicious if a teensy bit on the salty side - the pasta was perfectly cooked and the poached egg was lovely. The Cassoulet was one of those soul satisfying dishes - from the confit duck to the heritage beans, everything was luscious and balanced. The service is always pleasant and on point. And the wine list is fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit!
