Le Moo sets Sept. 19 opening

[Robin Garr]

Nope, $164 was a price for a steak, but I believe it was 64oz, which would feed a table.

So, if their $40 steak is a half-pounder, it's (essentially) mathematically equivalent.

I must do math different.

4 x 40 = 160?

64oz/8oz would be 8 servings, not 4.

Crap. Math is hard.

Actually, thinking out loud, it really makes even more sense if the $40 model is a 16-ounce steak. $40 would be pretty spendy for a half-pounder.

I was mostly joking about the math, but you are right, $40lb for prime steak is not crazy.

To be honest, I was never a fan of Village Anchor and was apprehensive about Le Moo. But after meeting Kevin, eating the food and seeing the restaurant, I'm a fan.

Yeah, but I'm still embarrassed. My mom was a math teacher and insisted that i know my way around numbers; and I'm one of those rare people who got about the same verbal and math grade on the SAT and GRE.

Common Core Math

Using Common Core math is probably how he got the wrong number! It had so many convolutions and took so long he just gave up and put down a number!

and I'm one of those rare people who got about the same verbal and math grade on the SAT and GRE.

I always wondered who the other person was that got that 300 score!

OK, who let the new math police out?????

Just sayin!

Waiting for the hype to die a bit before I venture......don't want to get herded in the stampede!

A math teacher checking in to say that is, in fact, not correct. Miscalculations are not a part of the curriculum.

Now, back to the food.....

Went for our daughters big 21'st birthday, but had to leave for the lack of vegetarian options...no biggie, I look forward to returning, but it just didn't seem fair to put her in that position on her Birthday! That and the moose/deer head when you walk in..that has always been a deal breaker since she was just a wee one. On vacations I used to have to scout out restaurants for any sign of the taxidermy arts before she would go in and eat. Looked pretty cool inside otherwise and we were seated right away at a booth in the bar without reservations on a Thursday night! So that is an option for any procrastinators like ourselves.

We dined at Le Moo last night for anniversary dinner.

We walked in without any reservations and were seated.

We both ordered the half Caesar Salad ($9). It is served with a poached egg and a piece of bacon. We both enjoyed the salad. She ordered the prime fillet and asparagus ($39) and it was good. I ordered the 16oz dry aged bone in strip ($62). The steak was extremely fatty. I'm not adverse to fat but it was bad. They have a 16oz dry aged ribeye. So the server asked about our meal and I asked if I was served the ribeye, I really could not tell the difference and the steak was extremely fatty even for a ribeye.

Anyway, I was very disappointed for the price of the steak but was not going to complain. The server said if it's not good then for the price I should order something else so finally I agreed.

I ordered the 8oz prime filet also at that point. It came out fast. I ordered rare and it was not only rare but still the temp of the walk in cooler when it came out. So cold even on the edge that I cut through and the middle was plain cold, I could not eat it. So I told the server and she took it back.

The new filet came out fast and it was cut in half before it reached me (odd) but was fine as were the sides that we both ordered.

I will say that this the first week, the server took care of us as did the manger. They did not charge for my order at all, just hers.

The quality of the dry aged bone in fillet was not good from what I have experienced at other high end steak restaurants. I was expecting an amazing steak from the dry aging and price but it didn't turn out that way. I will also say we both had upset stomachs but will not go into detail.
