I've been going to Mua for years, and am so happy it's still around and top notch as always. Get the butternut squash mac n' "cheese"!
MUA's modus operandi is for patrons to share a tableful of "smaller plates" from the two dozen on offer. The diverse array includes bone marrow on toast, beet-pecan salad, nori-wrapped ahi sashimi, Berkshire pork lettuce wrap, daube-braised lamb cheeks with parsnips, and much more. Kabocha squash tempura is naturally candy-sweet, sliced nearly paper-thin and fried to a golden crunch. Cream, roasted butternut squash, and several secret ingredients make the cheeseless "mac and cheese" satisfying. "Larger plates" such as rib-eye steak, duck confit with white beans, and blackened catfish, are true to their name: a meatless chickpea-bulgur-quinoa-walnut-spice burger stands nearly three inches high, flanked with a huge reef of french fries. Generously portioned desserts include bread pudding, pineapple upside-down cake and crème brûlée.
