Amazing as usual! Very festival and busy tonight! I was so impressed that a server that we have had in the past who wasn’t serving our table tonight was nice enough to stop and greet us during her busy shift. We love dining at Dominico’s on the Lake!

Our out-of-town guest loved it! Hanna's is always a safe bet if you want delicious food and excellent service. Our server, Kaleb, was great, very helpful with additional information about a couple of menu items. We decided to try the filet mignon chili which was terrific! Corn muffin on the side and the chili had just the right amount of spice to be good for anyone. Shared a raspberry cheesecake for dessert. It was yummy and a good portion for us to share. You'll never be disappointed here!

The “new” Urban is a great restaurant! The additions to the wine choices is great, along with the other many new drinks. Like the table layout as well. Nicer spacing between them. Food continues to be excellent. Servers are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Back on our list as a favorite place to dine!
