    We have been going to Delmonico’s for years. This was the best visit ever. The food was excellent and Sara was the best server we could ask for. Frank from the kitchen personally came to our table to ask how everything was. We recently dined at The View at The Mirror Inn and Delmonico’s exceeded the 3 star restaurant!! Mr.&Mrs.N and daughter Cara!!!!!

    A mellow Monday night before Christmas at Nolan’s. My wife’s filet with lobster was spot-on as was my MY strip. It’s always nice when the owner of a restaurant stops by tables. Thanks Nick for checking on us and the surrounding tables. Awesome service from the very personable Mckenzie!

    Delicious food, festive occasion, bustling restaurant but we felt very private and happy in our table in a back corner. Attentive but not intrusive service. Food presented nicely, good variety of dishes, we all enjoyed our meals, whether seafood or Italian specialties. Not rushed through it, either; plenty of time to linger over our meals. We always enjoy our time at Gola!

    1833 bar and restaurant in the Aurora Inn. We had the NY Strip and Halibut entrees. Excellent. Their fries are fantastic. Our dessert was a cranberry/ blueberry crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Blew us away! Service was impeccable!! We will be back!
