In sporting vernacular: grand slam, eagle, bullseye!!
The planning for my 50th birthday party started with Motus months prior. The details of the menu, signature cocktail, embellishments and affordable pricing were as smooth as silk.
The follow up meetings were effective and brief. Every detail was accommodated in style and with class.
When Alicia said not to worry, they will handle everything, I left it in their capable hands and didn’t give it another...read full review

Mōtus offers exceptional service from the moment customers walk in. The bread is fresh and warm, and the appetizers, such as scallops and mushrooms in a rich sauce, are amazing. Main courses like duck and mahi mahi are cooked to perfection. The ambiance is great, with a noise level that allows for easy conversation. The food is delicious, with standout dishes like coquilles saint-jacques and cherry sauce with duck. The menu changes regularly, which keeps the experience fresh, though it may limit repeat visits. Staff members, including the hostess and servers, are attentive and personable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Recently, guests praised the cocktails, salads, and entrees, especially the Manhattan made with St. Lawrence NY Rye Knot, which was described as one of the best ever. The server was very attentive and accommodating, providing complimentary champagne for special occasions. The restaurant also caters events, with staff like Alicia and JD going above and beyond to meet dietary restrictions and ensure satisfaction. The prix fix menu is highly recommended, offering a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere suitable for both celebrations and casual dining. Overall, Mōtus remains an excellent choice for a memorable meal.
