“What an incredible dinning experience. The decor is beautiful. Love the dark green velvet booths, very roomy. We had 6 at our table and had plenty of room. Drinks were very tasty, loved how each came in a different glass. We ordered an assortment of small plates, naan, and large plates. Everything was out of this world. I highly recommend. Make sure to make a reservation as they only have 15 tables and only 2 seatings per night.“

The green and white checkered tile floor and the large pasta where all of their pasta is made fresh just scream authentic Italian. Although the menu has an awesome selection, the Tagliatelle is outstanding, and the fresh pasta is very refreshing.

Great food, great drinks and friendly staff, you just can't go wrong here. Cheers!“

Was anxious to leave for a concert but was held hostage waiting for my card to be returned after all other customers were served first. Let me pay at the table. Better for everyone!“

“Mofu has a lovely ambiance and delightful vegan food. We got the impossible dumplings (not pictured), the vegan tofu bao buns, miso soup and coconut corn curry rice bowl (my least favorite but still delicious).

The only thing I wish they’d do differently is label the vegan/can be made vegan options clearly on the menu. The hostess was a great help in checking in with the chef and giving us a rundown of the vegan/can be made vegan options.“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“
