Mo’s

Posted June 16, 2010 By The Manly Housewife

Moe’s Steakhouse, 47 S. Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46204 317.624.0720

I have to say that this has been one of the best restaurants I have reviewed, thus far. Once part of a three-restaurant chain, Mo’s Steakhouse is now independently owned and expertly operated in downtown Indianapolis, just a block away from the Conseco Field House (home of the Indiana Pacers). The bartender at Moe’s was extraordinary, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly and upbeat the entire night. I never felt rushed through the dining experience and, in true “Manly Housewife” style, was able to enjoy a leisurely evening of great conversation, great food, and great drinks for well over three hours.
The food offerings at Moe’s Steakhouse include top-notch steaks and chops, served on elegant, crisp, white tablecloths that seem befitting of the classically vintage, towering Indiana Gas Co. building that now houses the restaurant. Moe’s takes the typical steakhouse experience to an entirely higher level. For starters, the staff will make personalized recommendations after a brief overview of your tastes. On the advice of our waiter, we chose the Cajun-style, pan-fried “Moysters,” served over spinach and bleu cheese, and the Shrimp Cocktail, served with a sensational, spicy horseradish sauce that far exceeds that of another local Indianapolis steak house I’ve ever tried (the Mo’s version has more flavor, and you will simply love it!) . The fish preparations are nothing short of stellar. It was difficult to choose from such an amazing array of offerings; however, I selected their renowned classic, the Surf and Turf, which includes a perfectly cooked 20-ounce, bone-in ribeye, ordered medium rare, and a 12-ounce Australian lobster tail) . The dish was cooked to utter perfection! It’s little wonder this is their signature steak. To cap off the entire night, the bartender set us up with his own signature drink, and then he was generous enough to share the recipe, to be featured in an upcoming Manly Housewife alcohol special.
I highly recommend Moe’s Steakhouse for a superlative steakhouse experience.
