- MMarieNorthwest Florida •6 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoAs always our dining experience was absolutely fantastic! My husband and I had a date night last night, so Mom&Dad’s was the perfect place to go. We enjoyed the fried ravioli with lobster sauce for an appetizer, the Salmon(house seasoned), and the Veal with pasta and mushroom sauce. The entire staff including our server were absolutely amazing, as all of our expectations were met! Thanks Mom&Dad’s for another amazing dining experience!More infoMom & Dad's Italian RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Tallahassee•4.7
- KKotrishNorthwest Florida •1 review5.0Dined on 1 Mar 2025Cafe de Martin is easily one of my favorite local restaurants. Whenever a friend or group of people want to gather and are looking for recommendations, Cafe de Martin is always first on my recommendation list. The food is consistently delicious. The staff is consistently patient, hospitable, and personable. Whether I am inside with the cozy atmosphere or outside enjoying the beautiful scenery it's a great time. On this specific evening, I chose to sit outside with my guests so they could experience the live music. Cafe de Martin did not disappoint. I got song happy birthday, my nephew danced the night away, and friends discovered a hidden gem. Nearly 20 people gathered for the first time in this space and those same individuals spoke of returning as the night concluded. Cafe de Martin earned every one of the new patrons they received that night.More infoCafé de MartínPrice: Expensive• Peruvian• Tallahassee•4.3
