    I took my daughter and SIL for my SIL’s Birthday dinner and was very happy we chose MOA. It was a great dining experience and the food so delicious. The meats so tender, flavorful and cooked just as we asked. Our server was very friendly, helpful and attentive. It was a very busy night due to the Women’s final basketball game and our server and manager were very concerned about length of time of the progression of our meal. We appreciated this but honestly we enjoyed the time together and the pace of our meal. Oh and such a fun Birthday dessert surprise ( not the actual one because of a nut allergy but the candle! ) We highly recommend and would definitely return. h

    Our server really made the night. It was our first time, and he gave us a an amazing breakdown/crash course on all things MOA. If we didn’t have him I don’t know what I would have done. The inside was stunning and the food was delicious! 100% recommend

    The food was top quality and perfectly seasoned. We had a group of 6, and had more than enough to eat by choosing the package for 4-6 people. The server prepared the dishes at the table, and she did a fantastic job. She made good recommendations each time we asked. We would definitely go back.

    We go at least once a week and enjoy it every time . We have one recommendation is to add the deep fried ice cream on the menu as an dessert. But overall we enjoy this place .
