    My husband and I went out for Valentine’s Day. We both tried a couple of the specials and they were both delicious. There was plenty of food, we even took home leftovers. I thought the service was good too, considering it was such a busy night for them. We will definitely go back.

    From the outside the place looks like any other diner, but when you walk inside your transported to a quant Italian bar, we where seated by an older gentlemen who I am guessing is the owner, very nice man. We are seated at the booth next to the bar and had the bar tender as our server, in most cases I hate this due to the busyness of the bartender during rush dinner service, but even though he was busy he gave us the perfect about of attention and service. Thank you for an amazing dinner for my wife and mines 20th wedding anniversary.

    Always a consistently exceptional dinner at Mulberry, never disappoints. Took out of town business clients who were impressed with the service and quality of their meals. Of course nobody goes hungry at Mulberry with the generous portions. Kudos to our server Rene for fantastic suggestions and attending to our every need.
