While the name still reminds me of a song from the musical Rent, the Boston restaurant Mooo.... (formally the better named The Federalist), remains a go-to place to find the best drinks, the best apps and some of the best steaks in the city.
The bar, run by the kind, capable and beautiful Melissa, and the just as kind (but unfortunately a Giants fan) Brad serve a diverse population of hotel guests, regulars and those looking for the next hot place. If you want the best Margarita you have ever had- Mooo is the place to go. If you want a Beef Carpaccio that is truly inspired- Moo is the place to go. If you want an ice cream sundae so good you will dream about it for weeks- Moo is the place to go.
While I have eaten in the restaurant numerous time, a reservation is recommended for dinner, I prefer the bar area where you are able to order off the full dinner menu or a smaller bar menu. The real hidden gem about Mooo however is the breakfast (and the weekend brunch). The dining room is almost always empty and the menu offers traditional breakfast and brunch fare prepared with high quality ingredients and an attention to detail that is second to none.
It's tough to find a bar stool on a Friday or Saturday night, but if you can, in between sightings of TV personalities and the occasional celebrity you will find some of the best food, the best wine, the best scotch and the best service Boston has to offer. While I miss the dark paneling of The Fed, Mooo has not disappointed.
