Came here mid week for a late lunch and sat outside with our dogs. (Nice option.) The interior was cute but empty, I’m guessing because of the time of day. We ordered a cat fish sandwich, which was a large piece of fish but we didn’t realize the fries would be seasoned. (We don’t care for seasoned fries, so would have been good to know beforehand.) Also had a blackened salmon sandwich which was very lightly blackened but it was flavorful and a decent amount of salmon. I choose to have salad with it but it was just a pile of green leaf lettuce pre tossed in a sweetish dressing (I would have preferred a dressing on the side or a choice of dressing and a few leaves were a bit wilted with brown stems.) Wait person was pleasant, but food came before silverware and since we were sitting outside in weather above 80 degrees it would have been nice to have iced water instead of just chilled water. I gave 4 stars as I suspect there are times when the experience would be better. Maybe my visit was just on an off day and time.

You're for my sister's birthday celebration and the family was well pleased with the menu options and the outcomes of the meal. Not one person was dissatisfied with their choice. Some of the items that were ordered were the breadboard, catfish plate, chicken and waffles, Belgian waffle, huevos rancheros pancakes and the salmon burger sandwich. My own personal plate, along with my brother in law , was the chicken and waffles, which was well seasoned and the waffle was crunchy on the outside but melted in in your mouth as you made that combo come together. My southern father ordered the catfish dinner with someone skeptical once the catfish arrived with a flour based batter, but was turned into a big fan once he took that first bite. My sister's friend ordered the salmon burger and was eager to share the experience with everyone at the table. Overall a good experience. The service was top notch as they were very attentive to our needs. A bonus carrot cake was given to my sister at no extra charge. Kudos to MOSO.

We just moved to the area and Cafe Moso caught our eye. The menu looked intriguing online so we went in for a date night. Reminder that it is BYOB! We walked in on a Friday at 6:30pm and it wasn’t very busy (it filled in as the night went on.) The reviews about the Mac and cheese did not disappoint. I HIGHLY recommend starting with that. Perfect temperature and the amount of cheese was out of this world. We ordered the catfish (Brussels sprouts, salad and cornbread) which was such a generous potion we had to take half of it home! The catfish was cooked perfectly, the breading was light and had a nice flavor to it. We also ordered the hanger steak (fingerling potatoes, chimichurri, onions and mushrooms) the steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it and it melted in my mouth. We shared the warm chocolate cookie for desert-perfect way to wrap it up. It is a nice intimate setting inside with street parking available. It is worth the drive if you do not live in South Montclair. Check them out!

Was there last night to celebrate my 18th birthday. There was 8 of us, we came at 6:30 and were basically the only people in the restaurant and we left around 8-8:30. To start off: the food was great, especially the spinach dip though if you have a gluten intolerance you specifically have to ask for corn chips. We had a variety of food (Mac and cheese, empanadas, salads and burgers) and everyone agreed the Mac and cheese was the best. The staff and owner?/manager? Was super sweet, wanting feedback since we are a big younger than their typical demographic. This is something I really appreciated knowing that they are constantly looking at ways to improve their menu to better suite a wide range of people. Do not even get me started on the desserts they were AMAZING over 10/10 will come back also quick shout out to Dez our server who put up with 8 high school girls for 2 hours

Private Dinning Experience (at home) I have had over 5 private dining experience with Moso chefs and owner in the past 2 months and it’s BEYOND my EXPECTATIONS every single time! The taste of the food, how creative they are with mixing things up for each audience, the ATTENTION to DETAILS, their professionalism and always punctual, they leave my guest so happy with an experience. My husband sees how happy I am hosting with zero stress and so jovial all night enjoying my guest and the food. These have become our date nights with friends in the comfort of our own home with our own catered menus. I love to host, but before finding Moso I would stress about what to cook or buy etc it’s such a waste of my time and money, honestly this has been WORTH EVERY DIME. See below for pictures they speak for themselves.

The girls and I decided to grab lunch at this restaurant after a workout. The restaurant was small and cute. When we arrived we were sat by our server Jason and he was the only server. We went right to ordering and I ordered the fish tacos for my meal. The girls ordered different items. My food came out fairly quick and it seemed to take long for the others. After a while one of the girls asked where the food was and Jason ran to the kitchen and finally came out to say there was a mix up and they are preparing now. I was done with my food before theirs even came out which was crazy. The restaurant definitely needs a better system. As far as the food, my tacos were ok and the girls had mixed reviews on theirs. I will say the bill was reasonable and all in all we had an ok time.
