   Not impressed. Some good dishes some not so good ones. For the price, I won’t be back. Nice ambience and great service.

   We wanted to try Mousa’s for awhile but kept trying on Sundays when they are closed. Finally made it in this past Saturday. What a great restaurant! Service was great and the food was outstanding. I read some reviews online where people complained about small portion sizes. Absolutely not the case although we did not order anything listed as market price. Based on the reviews on small portions my wife and I ordered the cheese selection from Spain and hummus for a starter course. We also ordered the sausage and peppers along with a potato dish. The waitress put the order for those when we were almost done with our first course. When she put down our first course we immediately knew we would have a doggie bag to take home. The cheese plate was excellent with three cheeses, some meat, the best little mini onion ring looking crackers and a spicy/sweet jam. Oh yeah, and a couple melon slices. The hummus was delicious, light and came in a serving about the size of a baseball with pita wedges. The sausage and peppers were cooked perfectly with 3 links and plenty of pepper/onion. The potatoes were amazing! Large dices/chunks with cheese and a super tasty sauce drizzle. Dessert was four mini cannolis and baklava for us. I loved the baklava because it was not covered in sticky honey while my wife would have preferred more honey. The mini cannolis had a wonderful orange flavor. My wife does not like cannoli but once I had her taste the filling she ate these ones! We like Dancing Marlin in Frankfort but would pick Mousa’s over it every time. A little pricier but bigger portions on the tapas. Highly recommended!

    Very nice tapas restaurant in the heart of downtown Joliet. Nicely decorated, quaint, and quiet. Outstanding food. Nice sized shareable plates. Everything was delicious. Full bar is a plus. Will return to try more dishes. Owner extremely friendly and helpful. Server, Scarlett, was very knowledgeable about ingredients in the various dishes. Celebrated a birthday that evening and a very tasty , complimentary dessert was provided. The 3,600 year old date candy is a must for dessert!

    Food was great. Drinks need work. Could not get a nonalcoholic beer so I drank water. My wife had a martini she enjoyed but had to pay for blue cheese olives. Baileys and coffee cost $14, the shot of Baileys was $11 which is crazy.

    First time to Mousa and had a great experience the food was high quality great tasting and serving portions for the price were fair. Our server was informative, pleasant, responsive and attentive even though it was busy never missed a chance to check on us. We definitely plan on making Mousa a regular night out place and bring friends and family. The ambiance and decor were modern and contemporary just a really cool vibe. I highly recommend Mousa as a downtown Joliet cornerstone food destination.

    We had ordered the dates to share, taste wise they good but very small. The menu is a little vague. The entrees are actually for multiple people that is not stated on the menu. I think putting Market price on many item La on the menu is a cop out. Over all decent meal, they just need to pay attention to the small details.

    Wonderful experience. All selections were great. Definitely would order and dine here again. Only suggestion would be spacing out the orders so most apps do not come at once. Or suggestion to us not to order all plates at once to assist in plating. Owners was on-site taking care of all people great to see and experience that. Highly recommend.
