    Dinner was fantastic all-around. Mo was an exceptional waiter, aided by a great supporting cast. My wife loved her chicken entree and her beet salad, and my wagyu steak was incredible. Wines were super, highlighted by a Slovenian pet nat that was delicious and surprising. We sat on patio which was lively but not loud. Big Cat was well worth the trek from Hillsborough.
