Sep 04, 2009Beyond amazing meal
My husband and I love this restaurant. We can't eat there often because it is pricey, but I dream of it often! Try the lobster macaroni!

ARMY GUY
This is without a doubt the best place to eat in Columbia!!! The Service was OUTSTANDING! I took my wife out for a spur of the moment dinner and now I don't think I can ever top it. My wife could not stop smiling. The food was great and the ambiance was exactly what I was looking for. They made me feel like we were the only couple in the place. I think they should change the name to Shawn's Place because they treated us like we were old friends. I can't wait to go back!!!

I went to mo-mo's with my girlfried on her birhtday and it was great! Everything was clean, inviting, just as it should be in the real restaurant. The wine we were recommended was outstanding! Food was so flavorful and cooked to perfection! I recommend this restorant to anybody who has a special occasion or celebration!

WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED!
Our server was completely rude, waited on a larger party table and neglected us and then goes onto accuse us of something so insane that I lost my appetite! We waited at least half an hour before even being asked our order. For a fancy restaurant like this, the servers need to have manners.

Best restaurant in Columbia!!! The food is the best in town. The service is great and Shaun the Manager is terrific! You must try this place. The menu items are consistent but the specials are always good. The appitizers are the best part of the menu. Katie at the bar is the best in Columbia.

This neighborhood restaurant never fails to impress. The service is exceptional as is the food. We have had many of the regular menu items as well as their delightful specials. Inventive pairings that you expect to find in much larger cities accompanied by a wonderful wine list. Do your senses a favor and try this jewel!

tre-magnific!!!!
This place has great ambiance and staff, excellent portions to cost, servers who memorize your order by heart, food that is creative and cooked right. Why would you want substitutions??? These guys have taken the time to put together a menu, not you...I must say to the others who have posted, that Asparagus is not suppose to be mushy and Beef is suppose to have marbling..and I love Mo Mo's no nonsense attitude...Note: If you asked for a substitution in France, do you honestly think you would would not be laughed at to your face???
Best Wishes to Mo Mo's for 2008! -
An Experience!!
Wonderful food, arrived at resturaunt and greeted and welcomed by a valet. The food was amazing, fine dining resturaunt with large portions!! My pork was a much bigger entree than expected and my wife's filet was perfectly cooked. Manager and wait staff very friendly and professional. Tipped server and valet top dollar for exceptional service!! Will Return in the near future!!

Spoiled Food
Ordered the Srhimp and Scallops, the 2 scallops were good, a bit overcooked but not bad. The shrimp tasted like it had been in the freezer for a year too long, tasted like it had gone bad and way over seasoned (I'm assuming to try and mask the fact that it was rancid). The vegetables which came with it were not cooked well either, very rubbery and had no flavor.
My friend ordered the veal chop, of which only 1/2 was edible, because the rest was fat. His mashed potatoes were good, but again his vegetable, asparragus, was not properly cooked either. The food concepts seemed like good ideas, but elementary cooking skills seemed to be neglected. Overall, great service, great atmosphere but definitely not worth it. -
INCREDIBLE!!
We had a fabulous dinner! The food was absolutely amazing...there is nothing like it in Columbia. The chef is out of this world! Our server was very knowledgable about the wine list and suggested a wonderful Pinot Noir. We are definitely planning a second (third, fourth...) trip back to this bistro!

good food but.......
not very accomadating, we asked to substitute the bistro fries for mashed garlic and were flatly denied! Seems as though they want to accomodate the kitchen not the customer. We thought the bottle of wine was bad, as in gone bad they replaced it but they put it behind the bar to sell glasses of the wine. not our first bad experience with the service. The food is always good to very good.
