    This was my first time to Grasso's and I absolutely loved it! There was a pianist and a vocalist, and it was a really magical evening watching the performance. The restaurant was dimly lit with beautiful Christmas decor and a really special ambience. There was a waitperson specifically for drinks who made sure everything came out perfect and that you were never without a drink. Our waiter took our order and timed the service perfectly. The kitchen was flexible with some minor changes. Every item I tasted was delicious! there were several other items that I hoped to try next time. I will be going back often!

    We always have a great time at MCT. The lamb chops and seafood risotto specials were great. The steak sandwich and short rib dishes are also fantastic. The staff are all amazing. Can't say enough great things.

    We sat at the bar and the bartender couldn’t have been more attentive. The service was top notch. The food was very good. The octopus could have been tenderized a little more. Burrata was supposed to have heirloom tomatoes, but came with just regular Roma tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. I get it, heirlooms are out of season, but don’t keep it on the menu. Gnocchi was very flavorful but a little gritty. No espresso for the end of the meal so our bartender made espresso martinis. They were excellent. Overall, great date night. We will return.
