Had a great experience at Augustino’s. Sabrina was a great waitress. I ordered a steak medium rare and it came out perfect. My wife had the salmon cooked medium and it was also perfect. Atmosphere was beautiful too. Thank Augustino staff for making our dinner date great!

We love this place! Great atmosphere and food! Service is always slow so if you are in a rush this is not the place for you. Food, drinks and just overall sense of vibe makes the wait worth it IMO. Btw- one of the best places for wings in the area, both on regular nights and brunch!
