Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Moto Restaurant from around the web.
"Another signature technique of Chef Cantu is using carbonation in unexpected ways. Take our next course, called simply Champagne and King Crab, for example...."
"Our tour of the Moto kitchen even required special eye protection and a laser demonstration. Pinch me, Alice, I'm dreamin'!..."
"Robert Oppenheimer, drops food bombs like frozen yuzu spheres (Japanese citrus fruit), carbonated oranges, Krispy-Kreme-flavored doughnut soup and savory Dippin Dots in flavors like Kentucky fried ice cream. A night at Moto is a full on curiosity stimulat..."
"We had a wonderful meal there last week, with my husband & two teenage sons. We had the 7 course meal, and my husband and I had the wine progression as well (thank goodness for cabs!..."
"It could have been an awkward situation – a group of strangers in a fancy place eating very fancy food. But it wasn’t because we had a shared love for food and wine...."
"Bridget and I embraced the madness of a 20 course meal with wine pairings at chef Homaro Cantu's restaurant, Moto. The evening was at times wonderful, weird and always educational...."
"Our favorite cocktail of the evening, the “Spring Thyme,” requires a somewhat complicated prep – would you expect anything less? However, it’s worth the time to create a complex and sweet herb-flavored drink for a party or gathering...."
"Wylie Dufresne's WD-50 is New York's closest equivalent to Alinea and Moto in over-the-top gastronomy. The chef, though a protĂ©gĂ© of Jean-Georges Vongerichten (of Vong), seems influenced more by Ferran AdrĂa...."
"main dining room, the lounge’s selections are just as notable: the Very Descriptive Cheese Course (the name and description of the cheese are printed on top in edible ink), Beans and Rice (puffed wild rice with scarlet runner beans and ice cream), a..."
"The next dish, scallop tempura with carbonated fruit, was a big disappointment for me. My main complaint about tempura/breaded & fried foods is that the breading tends to be on the thick side...."
"Lon liked this meal a lot more than the one at Alinea. For me, although Moto has a completely different feel, it was a similar experience in that I only really loved 3 dishes (quail buffalo wing, beef brisket, coconut palette cleanser). The rest was mostl..."
"If you think food is meant to be experienced with all the senses, book a table at Moto, home to Chicago's most jaw-droppingly original dishes. Chef Homaro Cantu, who worked with Chicago celebrity chef Charlie Trotter for 4 years, calls his cuisine "avant-..."
"They are rede�ning taste, appearance, and even the de�nition of ingredients, and their cuisine integrates everything from the frigidity of outer space to the fecundity of the forest floor...."
"The food was so interesting that I preferred it to restaurants where the food tasted better...."
"Pastry Chef Ben Roche’s desserts were, as usual, most enjoyable, but not so different in spirit from what one might be served as Jean-Georges, Per Se, or, in Chicago, at Blackbird...."
