| - I've been going to try Mood for months, but I always just went by. Last night, that changed. I went to Mood for an early dinner before a show, and I'm so glad I tried it out.
I had the Rack of Lamb with mushrooms, fingerling potatoes, and chef's vegetables. I ordered the lamb rare, and that's the way it was cooked. The vegetables were red pepper, cherry tomatoes, and sliced carrots. There was a sauce with the mushrooms that was incredibly good. They served a coarse textured bread with onion and the butter pats were in this nifty dish covered by a small dome.
Of course, one can't leave without dessert, so I had the Chocolate Thunder described on the menu as "...layers of fudge, cake, and chocolate chips." It was a great finish to this fine meal.
My server was Todd. He was attentive and came by and asked about a refill for my iced tea. Everything about the dinner was great. Because preparation took some time, he came and notified me that the dinner would be ready shortly.
Mood is in the Artisan Hotel along the 15, and the atmosphere is worth a trip here. The room is dark as is the entrance from the valet area. I took some time after I left Mood to walk around and see some of the art on the walls in the hotel and lounge area.
This was a great meal and I'll be back.
