We were greeted with all smiles by Emma, our waitress for the evening on a Tuesday. We started our journey by tasting some of the local beverages (sodas). We chose the root beer. After careful consideration we opted for the Mac n Bacon appetizer. Delish. Then for entrees we decided on the Sirloin with loaded mash and the Brasied Ribs with noodles. Emma made our experience a wonderful and even more special night.

We really enjoyed our Valentine's dinner at this restaurant. Unique and tasty menu options, creative non-alcoholic drink options and personal, knowledgeable wait staff.

We love everything about this place, except for the fact that they still use seed oils in some dishes. Other than that, their food is clean, from farm to table with an option of organic plates and wines. We stay away from fried items as they are fried in rice brand oil but other than that this place is one of our favorite. They have a phenomenal cheeseboard.

This place is a hidden gem! We just moved here from LA county and found that there aren't as many really cool, good food spots, but we have found one! Yes, it was a little pricey, but honestly, I don't mind if it's good, and it definitely was excellent. I'm giving five stars across the board. Great service, food, music, and ambiance! Thank you for making Mo' Valley feel more like home!!

Super refreshing salad with fruit, pecans, & blue cheese. Also, the bone-in pork chop they added to the menu pairs terrifically with a nice glass of Chardonnay. Everything else was fresh, organic, locally-sourced, and phenomenal, as well. Highly recommended.

This was the first time here. I LOVED the Brussel sprouts; the combo of creamy, tang, and savory was amazing. I wanted to order another bowl of Brussel sprouts instead of my food. I had the fettuccine, which was yummy. I can't wait to go back and get those Brussel sprouts.

Excellent restaurant, I had them on my list of restaurants to try and I was not disappointed at all. We were a group of 10, we got seated close to the kitchen which gave us a preview of the wonderful food served to other guests. I work in restaurants and I really enjoyed been close to the kitchen, it enhances the experience. Thank you for that. Drinks are made right and tasty (prepared with freshly squeezed juices, or at least it definitely tasted like they do) and arrived fast too. My old fashioned was made perfectly balanced (even tho I asked for it a bit more sweet than usual, kudos to the bartender). We shared the Brussels sprouts, the bread, and the loaded potatoes (vegan, excellent regardless). For dinner we had a variety of dishes I saw burgers, pasta. But the thing that will have us coming back was the steaks. My dad had the steak and lobster and pretty much cleaned the plate (except the lobster shells, he tried too, lol). I had the tomahawk steak, now I have plenty of space in the belly area and I still had to take some home, it was amazingly prepared and the mashed potatoes and veggies were just as good; just seasoned right. (The only thing I will nick pick is the paper napkins, sorry but I tried to let it be. I get it for lunch,but for dinner it would go better with such a thoughtfully created space, just my opinion) I will definitely be back regardless. Thank you so much for such a wonderful birthday dinner.

Quaint little place. Cute decor. Must make reservations. The food is top notch, service was good. Definitely coming back. The Surf and Turf Steak and Lobster 🤌. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Try the loaded sweet potato fries with short rib as an appetizer. They are so delicious. We will be trying their brunch soon for sure. 💙💙
