Mua is always a favorite of mine, so it was a no-brainer to go there when I met with my girlfriends for a leisurely meal. The food is consistently fabulous, the service is always attentive, and the ambience is always very cool. The Mac and cheese, beet salad, Brussel sprouts, and the ribs are my usual go-to small plates and did not disappoint. I usually get the rib eye steak to share, but we passed on it this time as we had other appetizers (e.g., the calamari) and were too full. Mua was a bit hard to locate for a girlfriend who had never been there before, parking can be a challenge but was worth it.

I've been coming to MUA for over 12 years, and it never disappoints. Whether I'm stopping in for a small bite and a drink at the bar or sitting down for a full meal in the restaurant, the experience is always great. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are consistently on point—they truly never miss.

I will never come back here. I hope the price-gauging was worth it. I've been here several times — years ago. The food is the same. The menu pricing now is absurd and offensive. There's this pretense of high-brow restauranting with the same old, okay food at a ridiculous cost. What's more, the prices listed on the menu online were raised three dollars higher on the menu used at the restaurant. Then the prices on my bill were elevated another three dollars higher than that for my drink: I was charged $14 for a non-alcoholic lemonade! The menu we received in person said $10 or $11 (compared to $8 listed online). When I asked the server about this craziness, he “remembered” that they were informed prices were raised for the (New Year's) night. But customers weren't and we just got gauged and gauged. The food and service was mediocre. The hostess was terrible and disinterested. But we also got hit with an automatic $20 gratuity without notice too — for what? You pay more to be gauged!! For the same average food. I hope it was worth it. No more patronage from me — ever.

Had a great time and this is one of our favorite spots! We prefer upstairs because the music isn't as loud but it's a vibe!!

Our food was absolutely yummy as were the cocktails. However, our server was quite grumpy and seemed unhappy to have a larger group despite the restaurant being relatively empty. It would have been perfect aside from that

We really enjoyed the food. We made our dinner shareable so we could have a variety. The service and the vibe were awesome!

I’ve been to Mua in the past and always had pleasant experiences, which is why this visit was such a disappointment. We came to celebrate a birthday with drinks, and our server was horrible. From the beginning, he seemed upset that we didn’t want to order food and kept pressuring us to get something to eat. The restaurant was practically empty, so I’m not sure why he was so bothered, but his attitude was rude and completely unnecessary.

It honestly made us not want to come back. To make things worse, he automatically applied a 20% tip despite the terrible service. Really unfortunate experience, especially given how much I used to enjoy this place.

I usually go to MUA for drinks, they have amazing cocktails (esp the strawberry ginger lemonade)

However this week I booked a table for 6 friends to celebrate a birthday. Our server, Isaac was very pushy and seemed very uninterested in serving us. He was literally slamming things on the table.

The place was barely crowded and there were plenty of tables for everyone. When we asked him about birthday candles he was very rude with his response.

It was quite a terrible experience, I recommend the bar and not the sit down service.

We came late due to traffic and they accommodated my party without any issues, which I appreciated because it was my birthday. We also told the waiter we were short on time due to us attending a candlelight concert down the street. All the food and drinks came out very quickly, tasted great, and we were able to enjoy being at the restaurant before going to the concert.

Nice place, great service and great food! Just too loud to have a conversation but good for experience

Loved everything, food was great, ambiance was great, price was reasonable considering overall quality. Will be returning for many more nights.

What a wonderful surprise to enter into this magical space from the streets. You can’t imagine the beauty, style, and atmosphere of this spacious warehouse divided into a few sections. We sat at the bar with a very friendly bartender who was excellent at hosting and giving us fantastic recommendations. We enjoyed the delicious chicken wings, and the beef salad was perfectly seasoned, complemented by goat cheese and nuts. I also was recommended a delightful white wine from New Zealand. This surprise amazes me, and we will definitely come back again.

The ambience is cool and upbeat. The food was outstanding. But the server was rude, inattentive, and overcharged us. Furthermore, he knew nothing about the brief and overpriced wine list. On our previous visit the service was great, so maybe it was just this guy, but the hostess was rude too. When you pay $300 for a two person meal, you expect quality service. Would go back because the food is so good, but hope they correct the problem. The snobby, unprofessional attitude needs to go.

Love the steak so much, sad it doesn't come on a bed of fries any more, the fries were so good. It now comes with a side salad and potato situation, which are good but not like the fries 😭 however I love coming here with groups because if you break the bill down and do the math the server will take as many cards, so no need for one card and Venmo. Love MUA!! But let me know when the fries are back 🙏

Great atmosphere and vibe. Especially when they have the DJ helping to set the mood. Food is always good, as well as the drinks. Lively establishment that is a great choice for a group or a date night.
