Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Mozambique Restaurant offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing food" and "great service." Guests rave about the "incredible rooftop views," especially at sunset, making it a favorite spot for celebrations. The atmosphere is enhanced by live music and a unique menu featuring exotic flavors. However, reservations for rooftop seating are not guaranteed, and service can sometimes be inconsistent. Despite occasional setbacks, Mozambique remains a popular choice for its ambiance and culinary delights.

    The food was incredible, the service was great, and it was a fantastic way to spend Christmas Eve. We had everything from the lobster Mac and cheese to the burger and steak, and even the charcuterie board. And guess what? Our two kids loved it too! Thank you, Mozambique, for being open on Christmas Eve!

    Almost forced to sit outside. Cold outside. Not enough heaters. We were seated in a corner area. An area that was not near main area. Got seated right away. Was 30+ minutes before we were offers drinks even after complaining to hostess twice. Never knew who our waitress or waiter was. After complaints, it looked like we were being helped by someone at the bar. When we were finished, it was another long wait to get a check. We were in an area where no one could see us or notice we were even there. As expected, food was cold when we got served. I go to many restaurants, and this one just didn't measure up. Very disappointed.

    Dining downstairs at Mozambique meant missing out on the full visual experience, but the food was exceptional. To maximize enjoyment, exploring all 3 floors is a must. They even welcomed our two small dogs, enhancing our experience. 4/5 stars for great food and pet-friendly hospitality, despite the limited view.
